Blogging And Teaching....Both Require Preparation

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RE/MAX Executive Realty - Happily Retired 104763

Preparing for my Monday morning posts is similar to my preparing a lesson plan when I was teaching.  Monday morning sets the pace for the week, and my first function is to be certain that our entire inventory is blogged on Monday morning.  My continually submitting a variety of posts on our four subdivisions and one on each of our resale listings has ranked all of our inventory at the top of the first page of Google for a wide variety of searches.  All of tomorrow's blogs will total at least 12.  My day will start at 7:00am at the office, and I will finish my ActiveRain posts by noon.  After I submit a blog, I do a Google search to make sure I did it properly, and it ranked in the top 5 on Google.

The reason I do the entire inventory at one time is because I like to leave the remainder of the week for other blogs about the inventory.  I will submit additional posts on our open house events, new listings, pending sales and closings.  There will also be generic posts submitted on new construction, managing and marketing.  Of course, there is always an intermittent flavoring of jokes and, last but certainly not least, photos of Rocky.      

Blogging has become a routine for me.  It's one of my most important functions and I participate faithfully for fear my ranking on Google will decline if the frequency declines.  I certainly have my blogging routine down to a science now.

And a terrific job you are doing Barb.  However, Rocky needs to be higher up on the list.  You know that bulldogs are the most popular dog in the U.S. now.  He is a star.

Barbara, that's organized and then some. If it gets you high SEO, and brings business then you're doing it right. Thanks for sharing

Making blogging part of the weekly/daily routine ensures you have continual content for SEO (which is ever changing) and as you point out, is an easy (and profitable) habit to form. Thanks for sharing.
