If you’re not familiar with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and any of the other forms of connecting with people virtually instantly, then crawl out from under your rock and get connected. It is well known that Social Media has changed the way people communicate ideas, events and information to the masses. With such a great set of technological tools for reaching the world at our disposition, it is no wonder why we at Buy And Sell Timeshares have taken advantage of these tools to get ourselves and your timeshares seen, and encourage you to do the same.

I have roughly over 1000 connections to people online between FacebookMySpace and Twitter.  This means I have over 1000 people, whom at moments notice, will be reading what I have to say about any given topic.  When the Yankees swept the Red Sox just a few weeks ago, I was trash talking just moments after the game…which of course sparked heavy debates as to who is going to win the World Series, random bets that require me to wear a Sox jersey if New York loses to Boston (which wont happen) in the post season and excommunication from certain people who are diehard Red Sox fans, all amongst the top 3 social networking websites on the internet.

Here’s a little story.  About 2 years ago I was trying to sell my Nissan 240SX (I miss that car and its 33 MPG) so I can buy a four door car.  My first inclination was Ebay because everyone was doing it.  No bites, heck, hardly a sniff.  The few people that did contact me wanted me to pay to ship it to them across the country.  No thanks, I’ll just hold onto it.  My second choice was Craigslist, since I religiously buy iPods for FAR less than what they should sell for.  Craigslist seems like the vending place for the desperate, which left my car exposed to the areas worst offenders of low-balling.  Lastly, I just decided to place in my status across the Holy Trinity (MySpace – The Father, Facebook – The Son and Twitter – The Holy Microblog).  Within 15 minutes of posting, a friend of a friend was interested in buying it for the price I was looking for.  By the weekend, it was sold and I picked up my baby (my car).

What does this mean?  Two things: 1) I have a lot of good friends and 2) SNM (Social Network Marketing) is one of the most effective ways to sell a product.  Instant communication of your timeshare for sale not only gets your timeshare seen, but your friends (if they’re good friends) will tell others about it.  As with most applications, word of mouth advertising is the best form of advertising.  Tweet (it’s when you post on Twitter) about your timeshare for sale and place a link to your timeshare ad on our website in the tweet.  Pick up followers and you’ll see how quickly you’ll be able to get the word out.  I have many friends who own businesses who receive a lot of referrals from me.

Notice that I link every timeshare blog post on each of the websites, but primarily Twitter, which I have set to automatically update on Facebook (how nerdy, yet efficient).  Do the same.  Tell others about your timeshare for sale, place your timeshare for sale with Buy And Sell Timeshares and share your timeshare ad with the world.  We’re doing it, so should you.
