The "Outside" Blog

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

I have to be honest - when I found Active Rain, I wasn't sure how much I would be able to participate.  My other two blogs were already up and running, I manage my own website, I handle a few others for non profits - and did I mention I am a full time agent? Ack.

But AR is addictive and there always seems to be more than enough stuff to talk about - judging from the way my reader stays full all the time.

I have noticed that some bloggers have "The Blog" here on AR and "the outside blog" belonging to their website.

I participate in all because, for me, they serve different functions

  • AR - The Networking and education
  • The Outside - Client relationship and SEO 
  • The Other Outside - Because I know not everybody wants to hear about my husband, kids, folks, and other random musings, but I want to write about them.

I am curious about this decision and why some do one and others do another...

In the comment, please leave links - I would like to do some exploring!

I have a "pretty blog' with my website INSIDE THE HOME Stylist and I this Active Rain Blog.

I am trying to have my pretty blog be for general public and clients who want tips, ideas, stories about staging and decorating. My AR blog is more about the industry, questions for peers and referrals.

There is overlap and duplicate content at times but I think the readers are different. I do know that occasionally a client will read the AR blog and a colleague or referral will read the other blog.

Happy Blogging and Reading,

Julie

Julie - It is a very pretty blog! I see how the difference can be helpful.
