I am very excited that this weekend I will be attending PodCamp Western MA 2. A little less than a year ago I attended the first PodCamp Western MA, which was also my first social media camp of any kind.
What a difference a year (or a bit less) can make! Since that first camp experience I have attended and taught at many more around the country.
These social media camps provide an energized environment of peer to peer sharing and teaching. They are the best way I have found to learn to utilize new media for my real estate business. The things I have learned at these camps have provided me with tools and strategies to offer my home sellers added marketing that other agents don’t offer. I have been able to reach out to the residents of Western Massachusetts and share my real estate expertise with home buyers and sellers.
I have met some of the most important people in my life including my boyfriend (Morriss Partee co-organizer of PodCamp Western MA), my business partners in social media training, clients and friends. I have grown my sphere and become knowledgeable in the use of new media tools…people now turn to me for information and advice. I wrote this past fall about the gifts that social media has brought me…I am so grateful!
Last year I was nervous walking into PodCamp. I didn’t know anyone and I wasn’t sure what to expect. This year I will be surrounded by some of the people I like most, talking about topics that excite me and leading a session: “Tweetdeck to the Rescue!”.
I left last year’s event so excited and full of new ideas, I practiced my new found skills in a video blog :”A PodCamp Virgin Tells All” about the event. I know I will leave this year with even more new tools and new friends….I just can’t wait!
If you are attending PodCamp WesternMA 2 and we haven’t met yet, be sure to introduce yourself and feel free to ask me about real estate, Twitter, Facebook, blogging, video blogging, the weather….whatever you want to talk about! I can’t wait!
