In a recent blog post “10 LinkedIn Tips for Brokers,” we offered our best advice on how brokers can generate business and gain a social presence on LinkedIn. Now, we want to offer our best advice on Facebook. Here are eight best practices for brokers on Facebook:
- Facebook is a much more personal and personable platform. This is where you can shed a bit of your professionalism (key words- a bit) and be more candid.
- Don’t use any hashtags.
- Don’t oversell to your friends.
- Share your success stories and reviews, with gratitude – in hopes your friends can refer more to you.
- Use pet photos, share your family, continue posting all your candid posts – the more people engage with you regularly, the more likely they will see your mortgage centric posts.
- Make your posts funny – use memes about the crazy mortgage industry, make light of all the hard work you do.
- Tag your location! If you are at an industry event, always tag your location.
- If you do a post in hopes to get clients or industry event-related, consider making that post public.
Bonus tip- people love infographics.
