Do ya blog too much?

Of course AtholK is in my reader and I often read the articles he links to because our tastes seem to jive that way. Nothing new when I did it this time. Read a facinating article on whether or not we blog too much. Actually, the article claimed that most of us did in fact blog too much. Pshaw I say!

I think it has to be a personal thing. You don't like to blog very often, then don't. It doesn't fit into your schedule, great - I am not gonna hold it against you. However,I served in the military 11 years and I have a husband and four kids. I learned a long time ago that I don't require a whole lot of sleep and I am most productive between 3 and 6 in the morning. Unfortunately haven't found a client, broker, agent, ad service, or anybody else for that matter that has interest in anything I have to say at that hour - except my blog. Make the coffee, drink the coffee, write the blog, post the blog - it's like the morning paper - on your doorstep whenever you or the dog is ready to come fetch it.

Trevor does raise a vaild point that there may be a faction out there that have allowed blogging to take over their profession. So what? Is this really any different than any other situation where a fellow agent fails to facilitate their business? Poor marketing skills, refusal to participate in training, lack of real estate knowledge in general. As a small business owner, I am either going to work my marketing plan or let my marketing plan work me. Either way, the only person that knows which is going on, is me...same is true for the only one who's bills are getting paid.
