Add TeachStreet local classes to Local Market Explorer

By
Education & Training with Consistent Clients

A couple weeks ago I told you about a new Wordpress plugin, Local Market Explorer, provided by Zillow. Well, as usual, the Geek Estate Blog has more great info on the plugin. They’ve added functionality from TeachStreet, which allows you to show information on local classes on your sidebar.

Here are the search results for Cooking Classes in Chicago.

Talk about great community information to share on your site and become a complete local resource. Now, some people say that as Realtors, we should only blog about real estate information. While I agree that most of your posts should be related to your real estate market, I think that by sharing relevant, helpful community information, you are staying relevant to your community, which is your market. And this is a great way to increase name recognition, as well as giving you more topics to blog about, which means you’ll be blogging more regularly, and this increases your search engine friendliness.

So check out this new addition, and provide great content for your community readers!

I gotta look into this. I've been using Eventful.com and it's plugin for TypePad. But the more the merrier.
