Curation Revolution

Bill Gassett By Bill Gassett What do you think LinkedIn is for? Is it just for people who are trying to find a new job? Should you only visit it if you want to...

Group boards on Pinterest can be your secret to increased followers, improved engagement, and reaching a larger audience with less effort.

Great Curation Revolution suggestion from my friend Bill Gassett (@MassRealty). I love group boards too because they crowdsource great Pinterest content. My Group Board include:

King of Pinterest (2,047 followers, 121 contributors)

Queen of Pinterest (3,290 followers, 325 contributors)

Love these boards since the share GREAT stuff and my work load GOES DOWN even as they get better. One caveat is Pinterest can be strange about allowing you to invite contributors. I could easily have 1,000 contributors to both boards if Pinterest didn't have such a tight and strange grip on the invite reins.

If you are serious about growing your Google Plus following -- and actually gaining some clients from the platform -- you should be doing these seven things:

* Share Great Content.
* Interact with Others.
* Forget your listings.
* See out those with authority & influence.
* Expand your content offerings.

* Join Real Estate communities.
* Build a business page.

My friend Bill's post about how to create a G+ Real Estate following apply to anyone needing to build a following for anything. How we sell stuff is different now and getting more so everyday. Bill is a leader in real estate, content marketing and social media. He took to Scoop.it like a duck to water.

Bill Gassett & Crowdfunding Real Estate
Great call about crowdfunding real estate yesterday with @Bill Gassett. Bill is a leader in the use of social media, blogging and G+ for realtors. Bill explained that his business tends to be mercenary - they don't inter-link.

Bill does and that is why he has thousands of followers on G+ and his other social nets. I introduced Bill to Scoop.it and he loves it. Next journey we will take together is to add #crowdfunding to his real estate site:

CrowdFunde now has 4 partners with one pending. Instead of STOPPING we are going to increase the number of beta partners from 5 to 10. We haven't found a 501c3 nonprofit yet and the more content we have flowing through the engine fast the more CrowdFunde's rising content marketing and crowdfunding tide will help create scale.

SO, our Partner SEARCH is still ON! Learn more details here:
