EMAIL

"I will be launching my real estate career in a couple months and have a couple questions and I thought you ladies might have some good insight.

• Does social media have a place in all industries or is it just a major brand (i.e. @starbucks, @comcastcares, @Spotify, etc.)
• What blogging sites are most mobile friendly?
• Lastly, my twitter name is my full name spelled backward Trebbatleahcim (Michael Tabbert). Should I change that to something catchier?

Love the show, keep up the great work!!

Thanks, Michael Houston, TX"

Thanks,
