Google "Orlando Real Estate Blog"

By
Real Estate Agent with Charles Rutenberg Realty BK645994

Blog daily, but make it relavent. People are looking for information about their market. Whether they are buying or selling, more and more people are doing their research on the internet. Another person contacted me today with a home they would like to sell in the College Park area near downtown Orlando. She googled Orlando Remax, because she noticed the advertising and marketing that Remax has been doing. Blog about your market, blog about your company, blog about the neighborhoods and areas where you work. People are looking information, but they are also looking for your opinions and advice. If you have a niche, flaunt it in your blog. It is ok to repeat yourself, because the people looking for help today did not read your post from last month.

Occasionally, people just e-mail me and say thanks for the information about (fill in the blank). Sometimes they call or e-mail me to say they need my advice about their situation, and sometimes they contact me to hire me as their agent. It all starts with trying to provide helpful information in my blog. If you go to google right now and search Orlando Real Estate Blog. I have the top three spots. I am finding more people through my blogs than anywhere else on the internet. I like to think it is because people appreciate my opinions about the Orlando real estate market. Sometimes they don't agree with me, but that is OK, as long as they keep coming back.

Pick your area, neighborhood, niche, or specialty and start blogging. Activerain usually has one of the top spots for searches, so it can be a great place to start.

That's great.  Did you pay to get to the top or did you use your own ingenuity?

Thanks for all your comments. I do hope that people find my blog posts informative and helpful in their particular situation. My post today is geared toward the first time home buyer that may be looking for down payment assistance. It certainly doesn't hurt that it pushes me up in the web searches. I just wish I could figure Google out. My main website plummeted a few weeks ago, and I have been struggling to build it back up.
