Audio Conference: Starting a Real Estate Blog From Scratch

SPECIAL EVENT – Exclusive Inman News Audio Conference

Next Monday, June 11, 2007 at 11 a.m. Pacific / 2 p.m. Eastern

“Building from the Ground Up. Real Experiences Starting a Real Estate Blog from Scratch.”

Hosted & Moderated by Inman News Managing Editor, Jessica Swesey

Starting a real estate blog doesn’t need to be hard. You can do it too! Listen to the first hand experiences from participants in the Project Blogger challenge to hear what it really took to get their real estate blogs up and running. You’ll learn exactly what works and what doesn’t work, as well learn some tips and tricks to make sure you succeed.

Project Blogger is a blogging competition co-sponsored by the ActiveRain Real Estate Network and Inman News. 12 blogging coaches selected 12 apprentices to mentor and set on the path towards real estate blogging superstardom. The winning team will be announced at the Bloggers Connect conference this summer in San Francisco.

This audio call will be hosted on the Talkshoe network, and will be recorded as an interactive podcast. In order to dial in or participate in the call you will need to create a Talkshoe account and choose a PIN number (see directions below). You will, however, still be able to listen to the call live over the Internet, without a Talkshoe account.

I read this on Inman this morning and ignored it but I signed up for a PIN based on your blog. The power of blogging?

Like Maureen, I ignored it and didn't even open the email (most of the Inman ads are for things that require a subscription, so I automatically ignore them) but later learned from Fran that it's a no-cost deal. I will be on!
