Apples, oranges, blackberries, and droids-doesn’t all of this sound like a futuristic fruit salad? And as if that isn’t confusing enough-everyone is talking about Twitter, Facebook, blogging and SEO -which really sounds like cereal (note to self, don’t write when hungry…) Are you curious, or possibly more likely, totally confused by what to do and how to use any of these tools in your business? Wary of people peddling their wares, promising to make things work; catapult you to the top of search engines-for a (often hefty and absurd) price? Bring your confusion to RE Bar Camp Rye! What is a bar camp you ask? It is an unconference, an event driven by YOU the attendee, low cost (in this case FREE thanks to our wonderful sponsors and volunteers-full disclosure I am one of the latter). It’s a great way to wet your palette, jam packed with knowledge, from people just like you, other real estate professionals, from the trenches. Its not about sitting in a room having fruit thrown at you, please don’t throw fruit at us, but its about planting seeds, sharing knowledge ,starting and furthering relationships , taking the online offline, so that we may do what we do best even better, serve our clients ! Have something you want to discuss or present on that you are knowledgeable about-doesn’t have to be social media related-DO come and participate too, or if you’re a little shy-send us suggestions too. Extra special bonus, we in the NYC are lucky to now be home to one of the co-founders of the Tech Savvy Agent blog, which recently was recognized as most innovative blog by Inman News. Chris Smith will be at REBC Rye!!!! Here is a prime opportunity to connect and engage directly, ask questions, learn what may work for you! Become a tech savvy agent, so you can learn what could work or not for you, and become an informed consumer, learn what is worth investing your time (and money) into or not. And, by the way, if you don’t believe in the power of the fruit salad (if its for you, or that it works for anyone) WHEN (not if) you come to REBC Rye, be sure an introduce yourself to me and I will be glad to tell you some of the awesome things I’ve learned, people I have met, and yes, even business too! At the end of the day, it’s not about social media, it’s about integrating tools to improve your business, that hasn’t changed-it’s just that now we have to “plug in” occasionally… Don’t miss this event, register at www.rebarcamprye.com, connect and engage onhttp://facebook.com/rebcrye (and for those of you tweeting, the event hashtag is #rebcrye-if you don’t know what that is,come ,and find out !) Follow me there ! The event is on Saturday September 11th from 8:30 to 4:30 in Rye, NY at the Hilton. Nikki Beauchamp is on the planning committee for REBC Rye, an agent at Warburg Realty in NYC„ blogs on the Warburg Realty blog, and atYourNYCRealEstateResource.com …and of course on twitter and facebook!
