Whatever you decide to do...every three days, once a week; just be consistent.  I find my 7-8:30 a.m. timeframe is great for catching up with people.
I think Active Rain is a great place to read and learn, it is how I started.
Good luck to you Kirk; I am nearing 50 myself and if you give it a chance, you will find it to be both profitable and fun.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think you can be on Facebook, Twitter and Linked In without having to be overwhelmed.

I owned my first computers when kids were still playing with toys.  I was online before there was an internet.  I maintained a site that had over 4 million visitors a month.  No doubt - NERD.
Despite all of that, I often feel overwhelmed by so many choices and new lingo, sites, and tools to play with.  There&#039;s so much out there!  The key is to pick a few, start small and grow them into bigger and better things.  I was trained by many here at AgentGenius when I first started blogging and I haven&#039;t looked back since.  Lani&#039;s point about the learning curve in real estate AND in technology has me nodding my head in absolute agreement.
Ginny - This is an excellent primer for someone who&#039;s got a bit of fear in them over technology.  Simple steps that can lead to bigger things.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kirk &#8211; I just wanted to throw my words in with what Lani was saying.  I&#8217;m a nerd.

Kirk - Missy&#039;s words can&#039;t be undersated.  You do have to WANT IT.
The good things is, you don&#039;t have to go it alone.  Blogs are an ideal educational learning platform.  And best of all - their content is FREE!
While you&#039;re busy getting up to speed on the tech basics, there are short term solutions (fairly inexpensive) you can find in your neighborhood, or online.  Folks that will assist you with some of the items Ginny mentioned.  And some are so simple that &quot;even a 6th grader can do it.&quot;  I know, cause I&#039;ve done them.
It takes some work - but, please take it one step at a time.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ginny &#8211; good advice.</p><p>Kirk &#8211; Missy&#8217;s words can&#8217;t be undersated.

I would say to Kirk that almost EVERYONE I&#039;ve talked to (of all ages) feels behind, so you&#039;re not alone.  There is a learning curve, but that is equally true of becoming a real estate agent (which you successfully did, right?)! :)
Dive in!  You don&#039;t have to apologize for being new because believe it or not, just *knowing* that you need to be online is miles ahead of thousands of other agents, so good on ya!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ginny, this is a great starting point for anyone in real estate.</p><p>I would say to Kirk that almost EVERYONE I&#8217;ve talked to (of all ages) feels behind, so you&#8217;re not alone.

That is the turning point. We all learned it step by step, here a little there a little.
