Here is my list of 7 things to do if you are blogging.

Yep, there are others I could list, but for folks starting out these seem to be the most important things to keep in mind.

• Your blog must be CONSUMER-CENTRIC not agent-centric
• Don't advertise yourself - this is not a PR piece
• Focus on what buyers and sellers want and need
• Provide information and good, fresh content and your readership will grow
• Don't obsess about readership and traffic - just write
• Know your market and your audience, and write for them
• Focus on what you enjoy and your interests - you won't write well about things you don't enjoy
