I was speaking in Nesbit, MS this past week and Wednesday morning as I was setting up I checked my email.  I had an email from The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware business reporter.  Here is part of the email "I'm putting together a story on the use of text messaging in real estate, and saw a recent blog you did on the subject. Would you be available for a quick telephone interview sometime today?"

The power of blogging hit home AGAIN!  Now I live in Arkansas have no connections to Delaware and out of the blue here comes this request.  It was not a good day for me to speak with The News Journal so I turned it over to my Business Manager/Wife/REALTOR/Speaker/e-PRO Trainer and she called the reporter.  They did an interview and the next day they story was published with her getting  the following tag "Shelby Betts, an Arkansas based REALTOR who teaches agents high tech tips"

You can buy national exposure or you can be found like we were which of course leads to business and what cost?  Writing a blog every couple of days about the business.
