Wow things have changed.
Two years ago people said I was wasting my time writing a real estate blog...
Now they are asking me to teach classes on how to write blogs. Things have changed, indeed...
Do you want to be a good real estate blogger? If so, grab your digital camera and go take some pictures...
One of the common excuses for not writing a real estate blog is "What would I write about?"
Everyone gets writer's block from time to time, but nothing loosens it up like taking some pictures...
You say you aren't good at taking pictures? Take a bunch and you will get better. I promise...
What should you take pictures of?
1. Take pictures of real estate:
You will be able to use these for your local real estate market reports. I have found my local Naperville market reports generate more leads than any other lead generating activity I have tried...
2. Take pictures of local attractions
You would be amazed at the traffic generated by posts on local attractions. My post on my Valentine's Day at Bass Pro Bolingbrook has been read more than 700 times...
3. Take pictures of your favorite restaurant...
Again, local posts draw huge traffic...
5. Take pictures of beautiful things...
A beatiful picture can make a good post great...
6. Take pictures of you doing the things you like to do...
7. Take pictures of company events...
8. But most importantly, take pictures you find funny in life...
This picture inspired one of my most popular posts to date, "What does your mailbox say about you? Mailboxes in Naperville."
So go have some fun. Take some pictures. You will become a better photographer, a better blogger, and probably a better Realtor...
You never know what picture might inspire your next great post.
