Have a new blog?

Want it to rank up the engines fast?

Want to start getting leads?


Building A Successful Blog - From the Ground UpA lot of you are new here on Active Rain and may not know me. I was very active on AR in the early days, I even moderated the AR system and gave out those enviable featured posts for the better part of 2007. Real Estate blogging was just getting started back then and we were pioneering it. It was such great fun!


Once our blogs took off we didn't have as much time to spend online, we were busy all the time, so many of us had to trim our activities and focus on our sites and our real estate business. Most of our sites are highly successful now, sitting at the top of the search engines and generating tons of leads while others have few or none.


I started my Long Beach real estate blog a little over 3 years ago, shortly after joining Active Rain, and drove it right up to the top of the search engines and have kept it there for both the short and the long tail.........and I receive incredible traffic. I'm going to teach you how to do the same thing!

This Tomato University webinar is for new or newish bloggers who are amped and want to jumpstart their blog sites.


Learn what you need to know in simple English in a way that is easy to understand.


The 90 minute webinar will cover all of the important stuff:


  • Blog basics
  • Post Anatomy
  • Keywords
  • Header Tags
  • No Follow Tags
  • Blog topics that search engines love
  • How to clean up your site
  • Onsite Lead Generation
  • Back Links and other good stuff *
  • How to use social media to drive local traffic to your new site
  • And more...
  • I may even toss in a little of my "Secret Sauce"


The 90 minute webinar class is packed with valuable information and includes a great take away e-book which will be distributed to each attendee. The e-book will serve as a great reference tool as you are building your new blog.


Laurie Manny has appeared on stage at Inman Connect; has participated in Round Tables for the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and recently taught a session for the CAR on their annual Tech Tuesday up in Sacramento. The 90 minute session went over by an hour and the audience wanted more.


This is a rare opportunity to learn from somebody in the trenches who has done it and is willing to share!

Thanks for your post, Laurie.  My problem is that I am "opportunity bound" and have trouble settling on the next blog post. I carry 3 x 5 cards to write down blog topics as they occur to me.
