Tech Training Website and Blogs

Ask Jay and MonikaTech Training Website and Blogs

Are you curious about  tech training.  Are you an agent or small business with tech issues?  If so this is the place for you.  As the small business environment continues to change we need to add tools that we can use and feel comfortable with.  We believe that most people are not really tech challenged, they just haven’t been taught or exposed to the tools and skill sets needed.

Jay and I will be sharing articles and videos that we’ve have written or produced as well as  linking to articles that other trainers have written, many will be real estate training related but we believe the tools and tips that we share, can and should be applied to any business.
Looking for someone to help build a website or blog from single property sites to full blog sites with reasonable rates then contact Jay at 603-548-7685

If you have training needs that you don’t see referenced, just call us, we can help you.    We’re always open for  suggestions and comments so please don’t be shy.

New Hampshire REALTORS are you ready for 2009?

2009 will be the year of web 2.0 awaking for many New Hampshire  REALTORS.  Are you ready for it?  If not you might be left in dust…

I’ve listed a few of my top “must do” for all NH REALTORS

1. Join and set up a profile on Flickr.com and be sure to upload all your community pictures. Your focus here should be on exposure and ultimately engaging with the consumer.

2. Join Facebook.com and set up a profile be sure to join the NH REALTOR group and any other group that attracts you.

3. Join LinkedIn. This is a professional group and setting up a profile here is a must!

4. Explore Twitter.com and search out local twitter members.  Be sure to follow me on twitter @monimcg.

5. If you haven’t started Blogging you should join Active Rain the number one real estate social networking site, it’s free and the best place to learn about blogging so join by clicking here. Remember this is a social networking site where you will be one of over 100,000 members. Blogging on Active Rain is a great place to be but you should not put all your blogging eggs in one basket.

6. Once you feel comfortable you should think about setting up your own Blog site where the majority of your blogging efforts should be.  If you need help doing that consider taking one of my upcoming Blogging classes. Or hire someone to create a blog site for you like Jay, you can see an example of his work here... Jay McGillicuddy’s wordpress Blog or check out my blog at www.NHRealyScoops.com

Mind your manners

*** Someone said that joining a social networking site is just like going to a party that you’ve always wanted to be invited to.  I totally agree with that!  You wouldn’t walk in and immediately start selling yourself or your products. You would start talking and engaging with the people at the party…getting to know them… long before you ever ask for business.

Social Networking  is a community…and just like when someone speaks to you in your neighborhood (your real life community)  you answer them, if you’re invited over for coffee, you return the invite.  Social Networking is the same way only most of talking is via commenting and the visiting is via blogs.  Answer the comments people leave on your blog or photos and go visit their blogs or photos in return.  Remember to Engage!

Are you ready for it??

Happy New Year everyone!

Blogging- all the rage at NAR in Orlando

We just got back from the NAR convention in Orlando and what a jam packed event it was…I’m still exhausted! Can you get jet lag just from flying from Orlando to NH??

Check out my blog for high lights and pictures of the convention and my FaceBook page for more wacky photos. Blogging was huge at the convention- just HUGE…if you don’t have a blog you might want to check out some of the very cool Blogs that Jay has built using wordpress.org he is turning into a major Blogmaster!

NH real estate blogs

As most of you know Jay and I author a few NH real estate related blogs.  One of them is our main business blog which can be found at >>>NewHampshirerealestaetblogs.com and it is a  great example of the type of blog Jay can build.

Another example and this one is very pretty, is our niche waterfront blog …check it out at NHwaterfronthomesforsale.com. A niche blog really increases an agents web presence and can be a lot of fun to do!   We also have a Photo Blog which is a place that we simply post pictures that we take during our day to day travels>>>Through the New Hampshire View Finder.

Check them out and let us know what you think.

p.s …Jay can be hired.
