Are You Blogging Yet? Here's Why You Should!

Have you joined the ranks of real estate bloggers yet? If not, you might want to consider it.

NAR reports that only about 4% of all REALTORS are actively blogging, which means it can be a competitive edge for you.

I recently taught a blogging class at NSDCAR and hope to teach a couple more at other associations in San Diego and Orange county. So I thought I would also share some of the teaching periodically here in case folks are interested.

SO WHY SHOULD YOU BLOG?

  • oBranding
  • oCommunication
  • oBuild meaningful relationships with prospects and clients
  • oDemonstrate your expertise and knowledge
  • oNiche marketing - Sellers, Buyers, Community, etc.
  • oSearch engine optimization (SEO) and positioning
  • oBuild self-awareness
  • oBuild critical thinking
  • oDevelop your reputation
  • oEstablish credibility
  • oImprove your writing skills o
  • Acquire information as you research
  • Have fun
  • Lead generation

Any readers out there interested in blogging? Or learning more about it and how it can be a significant part of your marketing plan?

I will be teaching an Introduction to Blogging class at NSDCAR on August 14th from 11 - 12. This is a chance for those of you who don't know what blogging is all about but are interested in learning more, as well as those who have started blogging but really want to gain a better feel for it, to acquire some more info on this rapidly growing cyberspace activity.

True, it is NOT right for everyone. If you are not interested, or cannot commit to it then you should NOT blog. But if the idea piques your interest. I hope you will decide to come by. There will be notices from NSDCAR but you can contact them to get more information in coming weeks. My guess is the cost will be about $5 for members, and $8 for non-member agents.

And if you would lilke to know about a terrific real estate social networking site where you can gain knowledge and experience blogging, let me know and I will send you an invite to join.
