Today is the first anniversary of my blogging about Real Estate in St. John's, Newfoundland. I began blogging on ActiveRain one year ago today. The last year has gone by in a flash. I have written 108 blog posts (including a couple of reblogs) with 3 of them being featured posts.
Many of them have been about St. John's, Newfoundland or some other community that I serve. I have 35 subscribers from AR and a few from outside who subscribe by RSS feed. I have gained a total of 61,248 points (I can fly anywhere ActiveRain flies). ;)
As of today, I am ranked by ActiveRain as number 1 in Newfoundland, number 1 in Avalon Region and number 1 in St. John's. I have established at least 50 new friends both on ActiveRain, Facebook and Twitter as a result of my blogging about real estate on ActiveRa
in.
My First Post on the blog was about Negotiating For Real Estate in St. John's Newfoundland. I still use that post as a resource to pass along to prospective buyers and sellers though I have made a few improvements along the way.
I can't tell you all I have learned about marketing on the web through blogging. I have learned about Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and sundry other great social media. I know about linkbacks, pingbacks, search engine optimization, wiggets, Wordpress and Wombits (You heard about Wombits right?).
I have networked with hundreds of real estate people all over North America through blogging. Best of all, I have grown my business as a direct result of my writing. Yet I have gained a lot more than business. It has been a real blast!
Thanks to all you ActiveRainers who have made the last year well worth spending with you. Thanks to all my clients and prospective buyers and sellers who have commented on my real estate blog both in person and sometimes in the comments at the end. I have gained knowledge, business and satisfaction from the experience so I want to take this opportunity to thank you all! 
So where do we go from here? I hear the words of Dory the little blue forgetful fish in the movie "Finding Nemo". She encouraged her friend Merlin to "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." Its good advice for all of us who blog about real estate.
There are so very few real estate bloggers in St. John's Newfoundland. If anyone of them is reading this and would like to know more, please feel free to get in touch. I would be glad to help you find your own voice.
My goal is to keep on blogging and grow even more so that I will be better a year from now than I am today. The key is to never stop improving and when it comes to blogging, there is lots more to learn.
If you are buyer and/or seller of real estate in St. John's or the surrounding areas in Newfoundland, I want you to receive the best information I can give to help you along the way. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch. I am happy to assist in any way I can!
