You mentioned briefly the use of social media.  I agree it's a large time commitment, but I think its worth the effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's so important for brokers to build valuable relationships and, and this is best done through blogging and micro-blogging through sites such as Twitter.  Twitter is an extremely valuable tool for building brand equity. Self branding enables you to showcase your talents, organically getting your name and information in front of people who might be interested in your services, and get networked to people who could help you grow your business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This takes a ton of time and a ton of effort, but if you're truly passionate about it, it'll be worth it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep up the good work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/JoeStampone1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/JoeStampone1"&gt;http://twitter.com/JoeStamp...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Joe Stampone</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:00:37 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
