I've been pondering this since a week ago when I first read Bob's challenge.  Especially pointed is this:

 "I have a hunch that not as many people are going to be able to participate because I get the sense that not as many people are doing this." - Bob Steward in this blog.

   And that really got me thinking.  He goes on to say that if we aren't, we should be.  And I agree.  So how have I done it?

   I've only been most active since last April or May.  And subconsciously, I have been using my blog to enhance existing relationships and future relationships.  I have done this is a couple of ways. 

  First, in posts like this one, Agency in your Real Estate Transaction, I try to answer some of the most common questions I get in my day to day, week to week, customer clients relationships.    Or this one about the Fairhope Single Tax Colony.  It is unique enough to require more than one explanation, over several discussions.  A blog post that I can email is a great way to enhance that conversation.  And it does come up, when purchasing or selling property in Fairhope, Alabama.

     Secondly, I try to include posts to Localism of local interest.  These are especially favored by our newcomers.  We cherish them, truly, and want them to become involved in the community, experience everything they choose, and enjoy living here as much as we do. I may highlight a community, an event, or a place, but whatever it is, for a newcomer, it certainly helps to highlight our little corner of the world.

    Finally, I do post blogs about Seller properties and their open houses.  I try to make my listing blogs stand out from the norm, like this one here.  So many Sellers actually appreciate their home telling a story from my perspective.

   Turns out, I am using my blog to enhance my current and future relationships.  I just didn't know it until this opportunity to go back and reflect camer up.
