Linkedin and Pinterest send lots of clicks to my websites s s My question for you is which one do you like the most, feel genuine, enjoy sharing ideas, and listening on. Spending money on ads is wasted money if you don't have the joy aspect right

They will only work for you if you work them. fb, LinkedIn have some benefit. Twitter, youtube, and IG work for some. Those 5 seem to be the most commonly used.

Facebook is my best source for getting business directly. LinkedIn is my favorite for brand awareness/recognition. IG I don't use for business aside from following people and networking

The only social media I have is YouTube. It is a GREAT way to generate business.

I am with Ryan Huggins - Thousand Oaks, CA on this.
We all have our unique personal and business styles.
I do use FB, LI, Twitter but mainly for business creed ... I do not expect to get business from it.
Youtube has generated a lot of business for me and the attorneys I recommend and refer business.

Social has almost never been of benefit to me. When it was, it was people I already knew who simply reached out to me through that site.

Define "working for me." I don't expect much of anything from social media except to provide a level of street cred. I suppose you can always pay enough money to generate leads with ads, but that's not how I generate business.

For social media, I just use Pinterest and usually get 200,000 pv/month just from that. But, I get more than twice as much traffic from SEO which is more passive and earns me more money.
I've also been doing paid FB ads for emails and that is working out very well as I earn a lot from my email list.

I had 50K followers on one of my Twitter accounts. I had daily interaction with some major players. However, in my experience Twitter was great for socializing, but virtually no ROI. (I left Twitter, for the same reason that I left Facebook, but the reason that I left is fodder for another post).
LinkedIn - if you work it, you can establish good relationships and develop a referral network. When I was with the Sarasota Association of Realtors, LinkedIn led me to F2F meetings and a couple of good sales.
Ads? Spend the money on SEO instead. See the answer from Debbie Gartner

Eleanor,
We have tried them all with our clients. Other than a presence, all the stuff has not resulted in $$$. In the very beginning we personally had success with linked in. The real dollars are made from referrals and being visible in strategic ways to the market place you are in...All the time one does not spend on SM is better spent being visible...A

FB is good for paid ads on landing pages. I like LinkedIn better has it's more professional, don't know if I've gotten any biz from it but people have found me there.

It believe it important to idenfy specificly 'who is asking this question?"
What I mean is the agent who will benefit brand new, 1-5 years in the trenches, 6+ years into the journey.
Each of these groups have incredibly differant requirements to grow their business.
For example I would advise the 'newbie' that FB ads is the only place they need to spend SM advertising money. A 'newbie' is more likely to be bold in their inititives rather than gray suit safe the seasoned agent prefers.
My experience aligns with what others have suggested, leveraging the 2nd largest search engine on the planet is a really, really good idea.

I'm on all 3 and all have positively impacted my business somehow/some way. The benefit is namely through branding thereby allowing me to be top of mind when the topic of real estate comes up. The key is to be consistent in whatever you do.

My largest following is on Facebook but Facebook has never been a major source for new real estate business for me. However, people do recognize me at the grocery store and at gatherings.
