You've probably heard about internet marketing, search engine marketing, and social network marketing in one form or another on the news recently. It's been advertised in magazines, newspapers, and on the web. But at News 10 Review, we were still a little suspicious about just how well the new 'media' marketing really works as opposed to traditional advertising. After all, there have been many internet marketing companies in the news offering strategies that didn't quite work out so well before and many are simply scams. In order to learn more about internet marketing and social network marketing for ourselves, we decided to send one of our own into the trenches and try this 'new' marketing for her real estate business. We were all surprised by her amazingly positive results. If you're an internet marketing skeptic or doubt the power of social network marketing in any way, check out the results below.

The first step in the process of starting my new internet marketing venture was finding a internet training program to use to learn about online marketing for my real estate business. After researching around the net, I finally decided on Social Max Boot Camp, which was rumored to be the best in combined internet marketing and social network marketing training. Since this Boot Camp had several different editions, I chose the Social Max Boot Camp Real Estate Edition for the most accurate results for this report. I was looking to grow exposure for my real estate business while on this assignment, so I appreciated that there was a training program that was custom tailored for my business. Another thing I appreciated about this boot camp was the fact that it is run by strategic internet marketing consultant, Cheryl Waller, with over 75 verifiable testimonials on her linkedIn profile. I wanted to make sure that I aligned myself with a training consultant that did not take advantage of me as a customer. I'd heard this consultant was a great one, and my experience with her web site confirmed this. I didn't have to sign up for all kinds of bonus offers or any additional training to get registered for her boot camp and, as an independent, she won't sell my information.

This is What Cheryl Waller Claimed on Her Boot Camp Web Site:

  • Position me as a local celebrity on Facebook
  • Exploding my number of Twitter Followers
  • Supercharge my YouTube channel
  • Amplify my professional message on LinkedIn
  • Uniting my social networks through the power of my own WordPress blog.

So far, I was pretty impressed with Cheryl Waller and her Social Max Boot Camp, or at least the customer service side of her business, but to tell you the truth, I still wasn't buying how successful I'd heard the boot camp was. To be fair, I recorded my starting numbers for my social networks.

Facebook Friends: 121
Facebook Fans: 12
Twitter Followers: 47
YouTube Subscribers: 0
LinkedIn Connections: 5

My First Weeks in Boot Camp:

  • Work on my Website - Search engine optimization
  • Cleaning house - establishing a marketing objective
  • Create lead capture mechanisms
  • Begin work on my social networks - profiles & setup

My first weeks in Social Max Boot Camp were a little rattling, to say the least. There was so much to learn and still, looking back, I have no idea how I learned so much about internet marketing in such a little amount of time. Cheryl Waller somehow manages to teach her boot camp attendees an amazing amount of information in manageble weekly sections. I loved the camaraderie in my group as we all learned the information together. Everyone was so upbeat and positive about the experience. Learning alongside other professionals really made the experience so much more powerful. I would never had learned so much from just reading a book or watching a video. This boot camp style learning is absolutely the way to go.

The Last Half of Boot Camp

  • Launching my WordPress blog
  • Connecting my ActiveRain blog
  • Creating videos for YouTube
  • Gaining followers on Twitter
  • Attracting fans on Facebook
  • Expanding my professional message on LinkedIn
  • Keeping my audience engaged

And I thought the first four weeks of boot camp were intensive. During the second half of this boot camp, I learned why, how and what to connect in the world of social network marketing. I learned everything from how to create awesome videos, to how to attract friends & followers, to what to say to keep my friends and followers to keep them comming back for more. By the end of the second month, these were my numbers:

Facebook Friends: 206
Facebook Fans: 316
Twitter Followers: 692
YouTube Subscribers: 81
LinkedIn Connections: 186

I was absolutley amazed at how much my numbers had grown in such a short period of time. I have been on social networks for at least the past two years and in only two months time, my numbers really took off. Not only that, but for the first time I actually understood what I was doing and how I was connecting to potential real estate clients!

I have to say that I was very much impressed with the outcome of this assignment and would highly recommend attending Cheryl Waller's Social Max Boot Camp for Real Estate Agents. I know that I will continue to grow my network with the information that I learned from boot camp and I know you will too!
