Yeah using social media sites destroys your productivity. The key is to think of it like regular work. You need to manage things property by creating a daily routine.

Example - 3 blog posts from 9:00-10:00. One post on facebook,twitter and linkedin from 10:00-10:30 and one video on youtube from 10:30-11:00. And then the next one hour, you focus on promoting these pages.

You can email your friends, social bookmark it or do certain other things.

Social media to market real estate properties is a great idea.The key is to have a lead machine in place probably a blog. Market your blog using social media sites like facebook, twitter without spamming them on a slow basis. At the same time, focus on SEO.

Blogging is the best way and using youtube videos as well to attract leads through the internet.

There's Tweetdeck that allows you to setup tweets in advance to be sent at specific times. Once you get the hang of it, like anything else you implement, it gets easier to make it a part of your daily activities. I'd say you can manage all you social media in less than one hour per day. Good luck!

Ok, so all of this is really great information, but a major question that I have about this is where does she find the time to actually update all of this stuff? I have 2 very active children and somewhat of a life so I feel that if I am spending my "workday" working, when do you find time to blog and tweet and all that other great stuff? Is there a method? Just feel like you will spend a lot of time doing "busy" work and have a small amount of time for productive work. Where is the balance?
