Social media, lost and found

I have created a monster. OMG! I find myself more and more in front of a computer screen trying to figure out what I did and didn't do. I find the social media learning blog then I loose it, started another on MN real estate, lost that....Wow! now I have them both together and hopefully I will be able to keep up with the craziness I have created. Now I'm wondering where on earth all this stuff we put on the computer goes? I think I found a home for my stuff; but, how did it get there? How do we manage to find it? People all over the world are doing the same thing. Fascinating! I wonder if all these little bits will one day come flying out of space like dust from another planet? I am sure there is enough informational bits out there to create more real estate by filling in all the sink holes, adding to the mountains and filling in the swamp land. No! not our lakes and oceans, too. I better stop this rambling or I will create the next makings of a horror show, NOT, most likely there is already one about this subject, I just don't watch horror shows so have no idea. Since I am not sure if anyone besides myself reads these things I am going to try and be constructive today and create a fabulous, non resistable marketing plan for real estate houses I have listed for sale in wonderful Minnesota. Let me hear from you if you read my ramblings. madonna@seelhammer.com

What am I doing? What am I thinking? MN real estate

I am looking at my last blog, 9 days ago and I realize that I suck at blogging. It is hard for me to imagine how anyone would be interested in reading what I am doing without thinking I am trying to sell them something. I know it is terrible to know that 90% of my life is work related. I am a Realtor. What I do is eat, sleep and think real estate. Since I am just beginning this social media thing, I have been trying to think of things to blog about that don't make my readers want to lose their lunch or breakfast in this case. I spend a great deal of time trying to be motivated and inspirational and in a market where people who have to sell are losing so very much, my stomach turns with sadness for them. It has taken me a very long time to know in my heart that my duties to my sellers are needed more now than ever before; If I can market and sell their home now, they have abundant opportunities to move into a similar home for half the price. I can hardly believe that we as professionals did not band together and say hey, this crazy pricing is heading for disaster; history has shown us that whenever areas explode and double in price over night they will adjust and the adjustment is painful to all. That being said, I am still trying to figure out, stay motivated and visit twitter more often to write, what I am doing; However, I have to get comfortable and add a little spice to my twitter. My goal is to be back tomorrow to tell you what I am doing. WTF am I doing? Oh yes, I am setting a goal....for social media...I have a much easier time, face to face, If I do this am I going to get addicted? Am I going to spend hours a day following you? Does anyone really care? Maybe the guru's at RE/MAX can shed some light on my dilemma. You think? My broker shares a thought for the day, and I like this one so I am sharing it with you. Ummm , maybe that would be a good idea for tomorrow.. Oh well here it goes, "The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line? Will it be everything you dreamed of? We seal our fate with the choices we make, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take."~ Gloria Estefan
