Social Marketing Ideas to Promote Your Real Estate Business

The real estate business… what could be less internet oriented? Sure you can look at photos, but your clients have to see the house, walk around, feel the place. How can social marketing tools help you? What does Facebook or Twitter have to do with selling properties?

Bunches!

Every real estate professional knows that selling homes isn’t about buildings, it’s about people. And between advertising and networking, professionals spend 50-75% of their time trying to communicate with and interact with them. Current clients, potential clients, and past clients form the core of a real estate agent’s social network. Naturally, every active agent wants that network to grow.

But how?

Even at the most basic level, a site like Facebook allows you to reach, contact, and interact with far more people than you could ever see face to face. It just has a wider range even than your phone. Something as simple as creating a Facebook page instantly puts you in the pool where you can swim with lots of other people.

Expand your web presence and build an online community through Twitter and Facebook pages for your business. Then come closer. Explain what you do, and do it in a way that shows fans of your Facebook page how you can help them. It’s not about you, it’s about your customers.

It hits that theme in a dozen ways. Create a survey to find out your biggest complaints when buying a home. Post relevant news, offer photos, use the discussion forum to build excitement. Let everyone know about upcoming events.

However, there is nothing wrong with self-promotion, done the right way. Tell fans on your Facebook page how you just closed a deal and how you got a newlywed couple excited about owning their first home. Talk about your city, about how it has unique characteristics. If it’s on a list of the best places to live, even better. Tell everyone!

Social Marketing Ideas To Promote Your Real Estate Business Now – Take It To The Next Level With Twitter. Twitter is much more focused on real-time interaction.

You are in the middle of an exciting deal. A family has just moved to your area and you are showing them some of the unusual properties that have recently come on the market at historically low prices. Tweet your enthusiasm for everyone. Passion breeds passion.

Could you provide them with information on: home decorating tips, green home project ideas, flooring options, DIY resources, ROI for typical renovation projects, how to recycle your old material from renovation projects, both inside and out. out in the garden? The list goes on and on when it comes to home and garden related topics.

Ness Notes (2005-06 Pistons vs. History)

The Pistons opened the current season by winning their first eight games. They were 26-4 for the 30-game mark and came into the middle of their 82-game regular season going 36-5. It doesn’t take a math genius to figure out that on that date (January 27), the Pistons were “on track” to match the all-time record of 72 wins set by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-96.

My free play for Saturday is Loyola-Marymount over Gonzaga in college hoops at 6:00 ET. Join me for a HUGE Saturday starting with one of my exclusive Las Vegas Insiders, followed by one of my coveted LEGEND plays and ending with my 20* Big East Game of the Year!

Naturally, that got everyone talking about how good these Pistons really were. Unfortunately for the Pistons and their fans, Detroit cooled off in February and the team enters the All-Star break having won just SIX of its last 10 games. Detroit is 42-9 overall, with a league-best 23-2 mark at home and a 19-7 mark on the road, tying them with the Mavericks for best in the NBA.

The Pistons will send FOUR of their five starters to Sunday’s All-Star game, only the FOURTH team to do so since 1970. The other three teams to accomplish that feat are the 1974-75 Celtics, 1982-83 76ers and the 1997 -98. lakers. The ’82-83 76ers won the NBA title that year, while the Celtic and Laker teams lost in the conference finals.

Detroit is known for its “iron man” of five starters, as the Pistons have used the same starting lineup in all 51 games this season. Only the 1985-86 Rockets (52 games) and 2002-03 Warriors (66) have had longer streaks since the start of the season since 1980. Those two previous teams were vastly different, as the Olajuwon-led Rockets /Sampson did their best. en route to the NBA Finals that season (losing to the Celtics), while the Warriors finished 38-44, extending the team’s long playoff drought.

Going back to the original question, “how good are these Pistons?” A quick look at the team’s point mark shows that despite their 42-9 SU mark, the Pistons are just 27-24 ATS. That splits pretty evenly home and away, as they’re 13-12 in Detroit and 14-12 on the road.

However, I think the best measure of a team’s strength is their point difference. Detroit owns the league’s best point differential at halftime, coming in at plus-8.4 PPG. How does that compare to recent champions? Going back to 1979-80 (Bird and Magic’s rookie season), the last 26 NBA champions have had an average point difference of plus-7.0.

That surely puts this year’s Detroit team above average, but the Pistons fall short of most of the best teams of this era. Bird’s Celtics won three titles and the 1985-86 team that went 67-15 and an all-time only 40-1 season at home, had a plus-9.4 point differential.

The Magic (and Kareem’s) Lakers won five titles and the best of those teams was probably the 1986-87 edition that finished 65-17 in the regular season with a plus-9.3 point differential. The Moses/Dr. The 1982-83 J team went 65-17 and the 76ers finished that season with a plus-7.7 point differential.

Shaq and Kobe’s Lakers won three straight titles from 1999-00 to 2001-02, averaging 60.3 wins per season and a point difference of more than 6.3. The 1999-00 team was by far the best of the three, going 67-15 with an 8.5 point difference. San Antonio has won three titles in the past seven years, and like the Lakers, the Spurs’ first title-winning team was the best. In the 1998-99 strike year, San Antonio finished 37-13, outscoring opponents by an average of 8.1 points per game.

This year’s Pistons might compare favorably to most of the teams mentioned above, but it would put the 1985-86 Celtics and 1986-87 Lakers FIRMLY ahead of them. Of course, I still have to mention MJ’s Chicago teams, which are split into two three-year terms.

The teams from 1990-91 to 1992-93 averaged 61.7 wins per season, with the 1992 champions finishing with a 67-15 record and a plus-10.4 point difference. Teams from 1995-96 through 1997-98 averaged 67.7 wins per year, and the 1996 champions finished with the best all-time record in a 72-10 season and a plus-12.2 point difference. (1997 champions were 69-13 and plus-10.8).

Clearly, this year’s Detroit team is well behind the standard set by MJ and the Bulls in their best seasons.

Detroit has beaten last year’s champions (Spurs) in both meetings this year, by scores of 85-70 (Christmas Day in Detroit) and on Jan. 12 in San Antonio, 83-60. The Mavericks, who own the second-best record at halftime (41-11), handed Detroit its first loss of the season 119-82 on November 19 in Dallas.

Looking ahead, while the Pistons are done with the Spurs (until the Finals?), they have a rematch with the Mavericks in Detroit on March 28 and host the Suns on April 2, when Stoudemire may have returned (Detroit won in Phoenix on November 10, 111-104).

In their own conference, the Pistons have two more games with the Heat, whom they beat in seven games in last year’s conference finals. The teams have split two meetings this year (the home team has won both) and play in Detroit on March 22 and Miami on April 6. 26 and 27.

CLOSING NOTE

Not all NBA history begins with the arrival of the Bird and Magic in 1979-80, so for those of you wondering if the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls possessed not only the best win/loss record in the league in a single season, but also the best point difference margin of any season as well, NOT

That record belongs to the Lakers led by Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Gail Goodrich from 1971-72. Those Lakers went 69-13 that season, setting a new single-season record (at the time) with a 69-13 record. The Lakers averaged a league-best 121.0 PPG that season, while allowing an average of 108.7 PPG, for a point differential never seen before or since of plus-12.3!

Ness Notes is available at 1:00 ET Monday through Friday. A “main article” runs in its place on Saturday and Sunday.

How to be ready for investors

As corporate advisors, we meet with many companies seeking investment capital to help grow their business. But attracting capital from investors largely depends on whether they are “investor ready” or not.

We were recently approached by a company in the construction industry to raise A$5 million capital for them. They were well established and profitable and had the opportunity to expand abroad and required the funds to finance their expansion.

After a brief period of due diligence, it became apparent to us that they were far from “investor ready.” We prepared the following checklist for them and are now working with them to implement it before approaching any investors.

The checklist covers the main problems that an experienced investor will look for (and expect) in an investee company:

o Experienced and stable management team, not only knowledgeable about the industry and the product, but also able to successfully implement the business plan and manage the operations of the company. Investors invest in management that is committed to the business for the long term

o Solid understanding of the industry in which the business is located,

o Realistic investor-ready business plan (presenting a detailed and realistic business strategy of current and future plans).

o Realistic and achievable financial forecasts and high return on investment (ROI) potential.

o Excellent business growth potential with fast growing markets.

o Willingness to include, if necessary, the Investor in the management of the business

o A comprehensive understanding of the customer (target market), including market size, demographics, trends, pricing strategies, accessibility, growth potential, demand for products and services, and commitment to business development.

o A clear idea of ​​the valuation of the business, the equity available to the investor and a strategy for the exit of the investor.

o Efficient internal accounting and financial systems and signed accounting reports are essential.

o An easy-to-follow and manageable business/growth product strategy combined with financial management ability to plan for the period.

o Ability to explain how investment capital will be used.

o Point of difference: in product, distribution, profit, returns, administration, location, contacts, technology, barriers to entry, patents or other unique competitive advantages.

o An understanding that attracting the right investor can take time, typically up to six months.

Approaching unprepared investors is probably the most common reason entrepreneurs fail to attract capital. Some investors see 10 or 20 deals a week. If your proposal doesn’t include all of the above, chances are you won’t get past first base and they’re immediately on the next deal.

However, once you learn how to make your business “investor ready” and manage to attract an investor the first time, seeking subsequent funding rounds or funding a new venture becomes much easier. So if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, it’s worth spending the time and effort learning how to make your business “investor ready.”

What are some of the most popular back-end frameworks?

Today, the user experience offered by an app determines its popularity and profitability in the long run. Therefore, it becomes essential for developers to focus on both the front-end and the back-end of the application. Typically, users can directly see, touch, and experience the front-end or user interface of the application.

But an app’s front-end experience is driven by various aspects of its back-end: interactions with the database, business logic, user request processing, and performance. Therefore, developers frequently explore ways to improve the performance and quality of back-end code. Most developers take advantage of strong back-end frameworks to make apps provide an optional user experience without spending extra time and effort.

Brief overview of 12 widely used back-end web frameworks

1) ASP.NET Core

Microsoft recently released ASP.NET Core 1.0 with several innovative features to simplify development, testing, and deployment of web and cloud applications. In addition to being an open source web application framework, ASP.NET Core supports three different platforms: Windows, OS X, and Linux. Furthermore, it allows developers to implement their applications in various ways. Developers have the option to integrate ASP.NET Core with various open source web development tools, while taking advantage of a robust integrated development environment (IDE) like Visual Studio.

2) Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is a widely used web application framework for the Ruby programming languages. It supports several widely used software development paradigms, including MVC, and places an emphasis on software testing. The plug-and-play functionality provided by RoR allows developers to customize the web application according to different business requirements. Developers can further take advantage of the code library and scaffolding options provided by RoR to perform common web development tasks without writing additional code. In addition, they can use RoR to prototype the application and quickly move from the planning to the development phase of the project.

3) django

Django is a very popular Python web application framework. Python allows developers to build web applications with concise, readable, and reusable code. Also, Django supports the MVC design pattern. Therefore, developers can keep business logic, user interface, and application data separate. At the same time, they can take advantage of the built-in tools provided by Django to perform common web development tasks such as sitemaps, user authentication, content management, and memcaching. Django also allows developers to customize individual parts of the web application according to specific business requirements. Furthermore, it provides various packages, along with a robust ORM system and a dynamic admin interface.

4) node.js

The JavaScript Library allows web developers to write server-side code in JavaScript. Many developers use Node.js to write both client-side and server-side code in JavaScript. Node.js is also widely used by developers as part of the MEAN Stack along with MangoDb, Elegant.js, and AngularJS. However, Node.js is designed as a cross-platform runtime engine and runs code through Google’s V8 JavaScript engine. It further improves the execution speed of JavaScript code by executing commands in parallel via non-blocking functions and allows programmers to execute operations asynchronously. At the same time, Node.js comes with features to simplify common web development tasks such as file system I/O, data streaming, binary data, and networking.

5) game frame

The open source web application framework is written in Scala. It allows developers to create feature-rich web applications by combining the Java and Scala programming languages. Because Play supports the MVC design pattern, it’s easier for developers to simplify web application development by keeping business logic and user interface layers separate. In addition, the Play Framework’s stateless and blocking architecture allows developers to scale web applications without spending additional time or effort. Developers can further assess code quality continuously by taking advantage of built-in testing support and simply pushing the Scala web framework update workflow.

6) Catalyst

Catalyst is a widely used Perl web framework. As it supports the MVC principle, it becomes easier for developers to build and maintain large web applications by keeping the user interface and business logic layers separate. In addition, developers can take advantage of the out-of-the-box plugins provided by Catalyst to perform a variety of web development tasks, such as user authentication, caching, and session management. Catalyst also comes with a lightweight test server and a robust database ORM, while also supporting multiple templating languages. The Perl web framework is also designed with features to keep common development tasks simple and clean.

7) laravel

The PHP framework allows developers to perform common tasks like authentication, session management, routing, and caching by writing expressive code. In addition, it provides a variety of tools to speed up the development of large and complex web applications. In addition, it makes it easy for programmers to perform unit tests to assess the impact of changes made to code at various stages of development. Laravel also comes with a templating engine called Blade that allows programmers to reduce performance overhead by writing simple PHP code in templates. Laravel version 5.3 also comes with a number of new features, such as simplified API authentication and the option to add WebSockets to your application.

8) hawk

Phalcon is a modern PHP framework that is designed with a focus on speed. Unlike other frameworks, Phalcon is a PHP extension written in the C programming language. Therefore, it consumes fewer resources and offers optimized performance. Because Phalcon is loosely coupled, programmers have the option of using the entire framework or its specific parts as binding components. Additionally, they can download and install the framework as a PHP module. Phalcon also provides features to perform common tasks such as database access, authentication, transaction, messaging, caching, queuing, templating engine, form builder, and routing.

9) Symphony

Symfony comes with a number of features that help developers create and maintain PHP web applications without spending additional time and effort. It allows developers to add functionality to the website by adding a variety of pre-built components. At the same time, it also allows them to use third-party software components. Thus, it becomes easier for programmers to improve the functionality and performance of the website by adding a variety of software components. Users also have the option of unit testing by using popular frameworks like PHPUnit. They also have the option of speeding up the development of complex applications by using the full version of the framework.

10) frame yii

Yii is one of the high-performance PHP frameworks available on the market. Since it is compatible with the MVC pattern, it is easier for programmers to reduce development time by keeping business logic and user interface separate. At the same time, they can easily increase application performance by taking advantage of the powerful caching support provided by Yii. Yii further helps developers work with AJAX more efficiently. Additionally, it makes collecting user information via forms more secure by providing validators, widgets, and helper methods. Furthermore, it comes with features to protect the application from SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks. Developers can use Yii for unit testing and functionality testing without spending additional time or effort.

eleven) cakePHP

The PHP framework comes with features to help programmers quickly prototype and develop applications. Developers can take advantage of CakePHP’s code generation feature to easily prototype the application. At the same time, they can avoid writing longer lines of code by taking advantage of built-in features for database access, authentication, validation, translation, and caching. Users can start using CakePHP simply after setting up the database. CakePHP further guides programmers to handle all aspects of the application efficiently, while supporting the MVC design pattern.

12) Frame Zend 2

Apart from being a mature PHP framework, Zend is also being used by several large websites. The open source framework allows programmers to create websites by using object-oriented code. Zend’s modular structure makes it even easier for users to combine its core components with other frameworks and libraries. Since Zend is designed as a collection of classes, programmers can load the necessary components as individual libraries. Additionally, they can use ZendService to access popular web services by implementing client-side libraries. However, many programmers feel that Zend has a tougher learning curve. Zend still comes with features to speed up large-scale web application development.

In general, web application developers have the option to choose from a wide range of back-end web frameworks. But smart developers always go for a back-end framework that complements the preferred programming language and meets all the needs of the project. Developers must weigh the pros and cons of each framework according to their skills and needs.

Common Social Issues Teens Face Today

Have you ever looked at your teenager and wondered if, for some reason, an unknown hostile being had suddenly taken over their body? I mean, how could such an affectionate, sweet-smelling, cuddly baby suddenly turn into such an angry, hostile child so quickly? Don’t despair. You are not alone.

Many parents and guardians agree that the teenage years are possibly the most confusing and conflict-ridden time in a child’s life. The sheer magnitude of what teens have to deal with these days is certainly overwhelming. Unfortunately, these problems are not going away anytime soon. They can even get worse. So what should we do to help them in this testing stage? In this article, we’ll delve into the world of a typical 21st century teenager, look at some of the issues they face, and see what can be done to make life easier for all of us.

Social problems of the modern adolescent

• Group pressure

It is a known fact that man is a social animal. That’s how teenagers are. They want to be like their friends or celebrities, we all go through that stage at one time or another. Peer pressure could actually bring out positive traits in a child. Depending on who they’re “hanging out with,” they might actually be interested in good activities like sports or crafts.

However, when the influence causes the teen to do, say, or act in a way that they normally would not, then there could be a problem. It could manifest itself in a drastic change in hairstyle or style of dress, taste in music, etc. A great danger of peer pressure is the deep desire to be accepted or to impress. When the goal is not achieved and the adolescent is rejected even after trying so hard, it creates a great internal conflict that could last a lifetime. This brings us to the next problem.

• Self-esteem / confidence

Your child may feel that the only way to be accepted into the “group” is to act and look like the “group.” If they are accepted into the group, teenagers will naturally do everything possible to stay in it. Sometimes even doing things they have specifically been raised not to enjoy. On the other hand, not being accepted would make them feel inadequate and unwanted. Feelings of doubt and anger would follow. Suddenly lashing out, wanting to be left alone are some signs of rejection and low self-confidence.

• Cyber ​​bullying

Most adults, myself included, have experienced bullying incidents at one point or another growing up. It’s almost like a rite of passage for school-age children. Unfortunately, technological advances have made it so sinister that even authorities cannot fully protect teens. The ease with which even tweens can access the internet is terrifying. Social networking platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace have made it possible for people who have major problems in their personal lives to take advantage of young people. Many of these online predators are sometimes decades older than the children they target. The internet gives them the perfect opportunity to mask their true identities and many times they get away with these disgusting attacks on teenagers.

• Violence in the media and games

I cringe when I see the kind of games and cartoons available these days. Blood flows freely everywhere and body parts are read on the floors. There seems to be no escape, as even the news shows violence on TV. Cartoons that used to be innocent and clean have become a major avenue for depicting acts of violence and beheading. Popular games hardly have a scene without an act of violence from the other. Children are encouraged to take an active part and win by using any available means to “kill” their opponents. You will soon discover that even while playing with each other, siblings or teenage friends often use violent phrases they learned from these media to communicate. They even practice these acts on household pets to the surprise of their parents. The message being conveyed seems to be “kill, wound and maim” and fast too!

• sexual stress

Sex is everywhere you look and believe me, teens are looking for it whether they want to or not. The pressure to get rid of your virginity is incredible. Many parents still feel uncomfortable having “the talk” with their teens. Children have no choice but to turn to their friends for answers. Too many then end up getting involved in something they really aren’t ready for. It’s no wonder that teen pregnancies and STDs are steadily increasing each year.

• Substance and alcohol abuse

Let’s be honest. Teenagers want to look good. A cigarette bar, a drink of alcohol and a dose of pills are no longer so difficult to obtain and the age of the users is getting younger. The addiction follows quickly. Now it is rare to find a teenager who has not yet tried at least one of these substances. This is a particularly nasty and life-threatening hazard if not controlled quickly.

So what do we do and how can we protect these precious lives in our care?

• Don’t blame yourself if your teen has gotten caught up in negative habits.

• Yelling, yelling, crying, and other outbursts of emotion will not help and will most likely drive the child away from you. Learn to talk to them in a calm and gentle tone. It’s hard when you’re screaming on the inside, but it works.

• Take time to understand what your child is feeling, let him know that you are there for him and always will be, NO MATTER WHAT.

• From a very early age, encourage your children to express their opinions and make small decisions around the house. This helps boost your self-esteem.

• Talk to them about sex as soon as they start asking questions about male and female body parts. Let them know in detail the implications of sex as they get older.

• Install parental control measures on your Internet and Television access.

• Encourage them to bring their friends home. Interact with your friends without judging.

• Treat them with respect.

This article is not exhaustive. There is still a lot that teenagers are dealing with, but with a little care and understanding on our part, we can greatly reduce the effects on them.

Portrait of War and Woman in Arms and the Man by Bernard Shaw

Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw is a drama that revolves around the war between the Serbs and the Bulgarians. The story shows Bluntschili, a Serb mercenary who is rescued by Raina, the protagonist. Raina, who belongs to the prominent Petkoff family, is also in love with Captain Sergio, who can ensure a massive victory for the Serbs at Silivinitza. The remainder of the play takes place in the Petkoff family home. Bluntschili returns to the house and returns a coat that belongs to Raina’s father. On it was Raina’s portrait and an inscription written: ‘To my Chocolate Cream Soldier’. When Raina’s father demanded the coat, she was able to cleverly dodge and remove the inscription.

The war is portrayed as semi-comic slapstick by Shaw. Both the comic and the tragic sides of the war are portrayed with authentic tinge. Raina’s room is invaded by Blutnschili, the Serbian mercenary. He is covered in mud and blood and escapes from the Bulgars. Raina takes pity on him and protects him even though she is Bulgarian. When the Bulgarian soldiers enter her room, she brilliantly hides him behind the curtain. Raina becomes a pacifist.

As a mercenary soldier, Bluntschili is comically portrayed. His revolver has no bullets and as a small school boy he carries chocolates with him. When Raina gives him chocolate to eat, he goes so far as to empty the carton by rubbing it with his hands and be done with it. Raina becomes affectionate towards him, labeling him ‘My Chocolate Cream Soldier’. Bluntschili is an archetype of a boy who is least concerned with the gravity of war. When his life is in danger, he seeks protection in Raina’s room. Through Bluntschili we come to understand that war is a tragic comedy, an anathema, a volcano that hurts the mind and body of people. Bluntschili cares least about which side wins the war. He is not brave enough to defend himself and tries to save his own skin. Through Raina, we come to understand that even in battle, enemies can become friends, a quality that is a basic human instinct to be existentially kind to one another. Raina is a prophet of non-violence although her romantic leanings converge with men at war and being fearless, daring and brave.

Sergio, Raina’s future husband, is characterized as a brave soldier. He, ignoring the orders of his superiors, makes a daring cavalry charge and wins the battle for the Bulgars at Silivinitza. Sergio is portrayed as a man with warrior qualities. Raina and Catherine, her mother, rejoice at the Bulgarian victory and are proud that her husband and son-in-law succeed in thwarting the enemies. The serious aspect of the war receives a space for reflection through this character.

The two contrasting personality types involved in the war show ambivalence in Shaw’s description. People by their very nature are peaceful and war is satirized as a comic adventure through Bluntschili’s character. On the other hand, the seriousness of Guerra is given free rein through Sergio’s psyche. There is nothing to admire in war except that it brings devastation to life and property. Shaw becomes an apostle of nonviolence and questions the integrity of nations to indulge in violence and cruelty.

Raina, the protagonist of the work, draws on Pushkin’s romantic fables and opera. She is full of romance and there is a contradiction in the character of her as she on the one hand she regards war as a show to defeat the enemy and fight bravely and on the other hand she has no qualms about trying to protect the enemy herself. her. She is kind and merciful to her enemy. She does this by taking great risks towards her reputation. She is an archetype of the compassionate other, a feminist who acts as a counterculture rebel. When she discovers that Sergius, her aspirant, had won the war, she wonders if she would be more eligible. She idealizes Sergio as a romantic hero. The author in Raina has created a remarkable character that embodies the ideal of modern feminism. She also develops a romantic attraction to Bluntschili, whom she addresses as “my chocolate cream soldier”. Later in the play we find out that she is marrying Blutnchili.

Catalina, Raina’s mother, is portrayed as an aristocratic housewife with all the foundations of traditional motherhood. She has no opinion of her own and goes along with her daughter and her father Petkoff. Catherine can be thought of as an archetypal mother who manages the home and is proud that her son-in-law has won a brilliant victory. Feminists would argue that her character is outdated and anti-feminist. Marxists would argue that her character is a stereotype of the consciousness of the bourgeoisie. She is a character submissive to male ideals, whims and fantasies.

Louka, the maid, is a staunch feminist. When she sees the gun in Raina’s room, she keeps it a secret. But she later reveals it to Sergio. When Sergio tries to flirt with her, she vehemently protests. She has independent opinions of her own. Class consciousness works in her mind until a trauma and she feels that she belongs to the dignified and aristocratic. In Marxist terms: the idea of ​​aristocracy and class consciousness has to be deconstructed as a pathological symptom.
