Im not afraid of dying. I am afraid of not trying.

Im not afraid of dying. I am afraid of not trying. If you don't go out there and utilize the new trends that Real Estate Agents are using to succeed in this Real Estate Business-Ex:Social Media,Blogging,Video Blogging,Video e-mail( Ex:Eyejot) etc, then your business will start dying slowly without you even knowing it. Its like the conversation I have with my friend who is a real estate agent at another company.

I have been telling him to get on Active Rain and blog for the longest time. One of this real estate agent's reason for not blogging is because it use to be free now you have to pay. Also this real estate agent is one of those agents that thinks spending hours in front of a computer monitor is just a waste of time. Don't you spend time in front of a computer when you are searching for houses for your clients,typing up an offer,your listing or searching online which a lot of us do. Then why don't you do the same thing with blogging. Besides it is going to get you some business if you write great content,post pictures and use certain keywords.

How can you say something doesn't work when you have yet to try it? Besides you can use your blogs as an advantage when you go on listing presentation. Real Estate Agents with a strong internet presence is more than likely to be hired for the job than a real estate agent who can't not be found no where on the Internet. Now when I go on listing presentation or even when I give out my business cards,I am going to start telling people to Google "Lanre Folayan",or certain neighborhoods that I have written blogs on if I am passing out flyers or business cards in that area such as "Tantallon on the Potomac Fort Washington MD Homes for sale,Oxon Hill Single Family Homes for sale,Deanwood DC Homes for sale,Petworth DC Homes for sale-I am sure you get what I am trying to say.

The more you write blogs on certain long tail keywords(I am still learning myself) with great content on a consistent basis,the better you have a chance on coming up first page on Google. I don't always know what to write about. If you don't have a clue,what to write about,read many of the great blogs written here to give you an idea of what to blog about.You never know what you can do unless you try.

I'm not afraid of dying. I am afraid of not trying.
