Buyers of Maine real estate that don't need a job and not because they are retired with an income following them in to "Vacationland" either.
They are relocating with their job intact. Sometimes a website or two they maintain. Other times they run security for many city banks in a little off the beaten path place in Northern Maine that criminals or bank heist professionals would look last. But this one lady I talked with from New Mexico this week said the heat had made her have enough so off to Maine. To journey to the right hand upper corner of the world to scope out Aroostook County and the low low prices. She told me what she does for a living is type, and type and she gets paid 30 cents a word. That is pretty good return on typing right? But her typing is her clients give her a topic to write about, to be a ghose writer for a blog post, a website, anything. And the number of words of the article is what she gets paid by. She told me she can type all day on any subject and is getting pretty conversational in what she learns. Maine and other state real estate brokers get lots of emails, direct mail and even faxes if they find your number on line about ghost writing services. For a fee. Much of what she writes is nothing you or I could glean anything useful from. It has the right buzz words, key words to make the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Meter notice, jump, react.
I always thought if you live in the area you are excited to work in, raise a family and volunteer in, why would a Realtor be the logical "reporter" or poster for area information? Not just about this cute cape or that rolling farm or the pristine waterfront new listing? Are you blogging to broadcast the information, your experiences with helpful blog posts that folks can benefit from? And have you seen the bloggers that when you read the post, it has 45 repeat phrases, and not much of a story line?
It's like a Christmas tree but no tree..just the ornaments with key words, phrases to help the robots shove the post, website up the search engine position ladder.
