The Gene Molloy Real Estate Blog

Jun. 9, 2006 - Why I Blog

First let me say that this has nothing to do with the "Commission" series. Every time I think I know what I want to do something better comes along to blog about. Fortunately, being the owner/operator/author/editor of this blog gives me lots of latitude to change directions. I don't have to run it by the boss. That is tied into the number one reason I choose to blog............BECAUSE I CAN.

 

I knew early on that blogging was a great way to get people interested in what you have to say. As you know, if you have been here from the beginning, I began this blog in January this year. It was kind of a new year, new vision for the business kind of thing. Well here is what the June 2006 "Society Members Insider Tips" (A communique from the Real Estate Cyberspace Society) has to say:

               "Many predict that within 2 to 3 years over 90% of Internet travelers will be receiving as much (if not more) information using RSS and other feeds as they will using e-mail and conventional web browsing. This should give most forward thinking agents a big incentive to get very familiar with this new technology now to stay ahead of the curve."

 

Forward thinking indeed. My blog is already six months old. And let me tell you this, I AM HAVING FUN. That's another reason I blog. If you visit my other web sites you know that my tag line is "Real Estate Is My Lifestyle, Not My Job". That's because I don't NEED a job, I have a lifetime stream of steady income that is more than sufficient. What I NEED is something to keep me out of trouble and help me fill up the seven day weekend. I considered becoming a professional golfer, but the competition is too intense and honestly, I'm not very good. I am good however at marketing, advising, counseling, negotiating, etc. I have a workable knowledge of the art of communication (although it has been said by some that I can be sarcastic, satirical and possess a dry sense of humor. Maybe so, but once you figure it out, I know your gonna love me). Since I was good at all of that, I decided to live the real estate agent's lifestyle.

 

So there are two of the reasons why I blog. There are more, but I have two deals going on that demand my immediate attention, so I gotta go. All you really have to do is subscribe to this blog via RSS feed and you will be appraised of my other reasons in a future post. Doesn't it seem like I'm always asking you to keep coming back?

 

As always, if you have found yourself receiving my blog postings via e-mail, it is because I have either blogged about you personally, blogged about something I know is of interest to you, or I consider you to be a person of deep thinking and intellect and I would love to have you occasionally commenting on my blog. If you would like to be removed from the list simply send me an e-mail saying so.
