Rebar camp in Denver Colorado - Facebook - Eric Grossman

I was looking forward to this. I realized I was going to have to get into the Facebook game. This was the most unstructured class or it was our group that made it that way. There was about 30 people in the group and about half were probably women over 50. This made it tough for a smooth presentation. Lots of technical questions.

I think the topic really got off track, at least in my opinion talking about privacy concerns. Lots of paranoia and concern in this group. People concerned that other people can be posting pictures about them etc. We joked that this one woman had a lot of nude phots of her in the past. She commented that she was asking about a friend of hers. I pointed out that she is supposed to say that at the begining.

The thing I have difficulty in is trying to balance who I am as a person. Right now I'm focused on being the best real estate and mortgage broker possible. Not sure how being a stand-up comedian and professional poker player fit with that image. I don't think it hurts, it might even help, but how the client perceives it as is crucial. Best answer I got for this had to do with setting security and privacy settings.

The class is where I learned the least. It might of been the most fun. The speaker is starting to raise chickens at home and was talking a little about that. My collague Diane Wolta, whispers great now I have to raise chickens too? LOL. So much of the time that is what these classes seem like, that you need to do everything like the speaker does. Just remember it's about cutting your own grass.

A specific tip - Don't create more than one profile unless it's your own fan page or facebook can delete your accounts.
