Why do I blog? Here is one good reason why.
Many non-believers of Active Rain still ask me why do I blog? People think blogging especially on Active Rain is a waste of time of time. Why will I want to blog on Active Rain when I can be out prospecting trying to generate some Real Estate Business instead of staring in front of a computer all day. Its true.
But (I got to stick my big ol butt in this one)HOWEVER has it dawned on you that doing Real Estate in 2010 is totally different than how things were done prior to the Internet and Social Media. Blogging online is the new Prospecting Web 2.0. Besides how do you think those heartless ruthless no good bastards called Lead Generation companies get the leads that they have sold or try to sell to you or me? (Okay! It is not all of you guys-JUST 95% OF YOU-IT'S TRUE. YES IT'S TRUE).
We all know that now 90% of potential home buyers start their home buying search online. So if you do not have a presence ONLINE,your line of communication with home buyers and sellers is OFF. So you want to know why I blog? Here is one good reason why.
- I'd rather be No.one and be found by someone than be found by No one-Blogging can get you found by a potential home buyers and sellers very quick. Especially now that people are on the Internet and Social Media around 32.7% of the time a day,you can't afford not to be on the Internet. If potential home buyers and sellers type in long tail keywords in search engines such as Tantallon on the potomac Fort Washington MD Homes for sale , ,Single Family Oxon Hill Md Homes for sale and P.G County MD Homes for sale,since I came up first page on Google and other major search engines,I have a better chance of being the chosen one picked over a Real Estate Professional who only does not blog and have a Internet presence,but doesn't blog at all.
Having a strong Internet presence can show potential home buyers and sellers that you are very familiar and knowledgeable of the local community or neighborhood where they plan on buying their next house or sell their current home. And don't forget about Generation Y either. Another good reason why you should be online.
So why do I blog? I just gave you a good reason. Now why are you still standing there. Get blogging right now. Why are you trying to make things complicated? It's so easy. Gees.
