They have asked me to teach a class in February for our Remerica firm so I thought I would start now with what I will talk about.  There is so much to talk about.

Social media and blogging scares a lot of newcomers.  The biggest question is how will I make money from blogging or participating in social media sites.  I am going to start first on blogging.  Some of the questions most newbies ask are:

• Where do I start?
• I don't know how to write?
• What do I write about? 
• How do you blog? 
• How much money will I make from blogging? 
• What sites should I blog on?
• How much time does it take? 
• Does Blogging work?

So to answer the last question..... Yes blogging works.  Yes blogging brings business.  Blogging is an bigger time investment versus a money investment.  So for a newbie to the real estate business it is a great way of building a business.  For somebody who has been in the business a long time and now finds they are slow...... blogging is a great way to invest your time.  A great way to build a web presence inexpensively.

Just to give you general idea of what blogging can do.  I have read stories over over 4 million dollars of sales coming from an investment of one hour a day.  Myself I get any where from 5 to 15 leads a week.  I do a good business from blogging.
