Had enough of all these...The other day, someone contacted me for a listing who just happened to be someone I met more than once, had meaningful conversation & left them with pleasant thoughts. Maybe I am old-fashioned?

Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Tumbler, and Instagram ... in that order. Personally I like Facebook the best.  I have a Personal Page and a Business Page there.  And a Ministry Page.

Linked In bores me.

I use Instagram for photos but not business.

I canceled Twitter a long time ago.

I do use FB for business, but not in a way you may think. I have a business page, but that's not what I use most - it's a lifestyle FB page, about my area.

NONE of the above, except I do have a FB Business Page. I will get messaged via FB about stuff and have done a couple deals where the most of our communication was via Messenger. A new client who lives in MX and has a MX cell phone says if you can't text me direct, plug it into FB Messenger, it always works there! Go figure!

Facebook hands down has had the best results.  Some results from LinkedIn, a little traction on Instagram, and nothing from Twitter or any others.

Facebook primarily - and those of us that do are primarily older. That's what my daughter says - she and younger people seem to love Tik Tok and I've seen realtors do well there.

Surprised at all of these comments! Have tried to get our base to engage on FB and have never gotten even half as much of a response as we do on LinkedIn, IG and Twitter. But with all of the FB responses listed at #1 I am going to have to give this another go!
