I spend a lot of time on Facebook because I post photographs in a number of Facebook groups. For me, Facebook is not a prospecting tool.

It's typically "on" in the background and I post a quote daily plus check in maybe a couple of times a day - generally much less than a hour.  

I don't currently use it as a prospecting tool.

Not as many as I do just for fun.  Although I think anytime you are reaching out to someone, whether it is directly related to real estate, or indirectly, you are still making a connection and putting yourself out there.  Possibly an hour a day.

It's on during my prospecting, as I like to see what my clients have been up to before I call them (10 calls per day min.), so I can open with asking them meaningful questions about them, family a vacation they just posted, etc. So, 1 hour per day Mon-Fri, very little on weekends.

I do post my listings and all my closings with victory pictures of my clients with SOLD! signs.

I'm on it multiple times a day.  For years it was bringing in about 75% of our business, but in 2015 our referrals from past clients ramped up to about 50% of our business.  

I've altered my personal FB page to include only past clients, friends from my area, and people that I know will be clients and a referral source in the future.  

It's all about interaction and being genuine.  My two cents.
