2010

Kerry .... I feel like Santa: I'm make a list and checking it twice .... I'm looking forward to PART TWO ... Thanks for sharing ....

I love it! Kudos for getting that far... No ideas at the moment but I will be checking back to see how it goes and try to add one or two myself!

nice job Kerry! I'm going to cut and post this infront of my desk for those days. I recently wrote a post Writer's Block but this goes beyond what I listed, good job!

Whew! You've been hard at work! I've suggested, and bookmarked, and will keep for when the blogging burnout hits - it hasn't yet, thank goodness, but I'm sure the plateau will arrive. Thanks for the inspiration!

Kerry,

Now that list is a gift! Thanks. Now all I need is time or a writer to delegate this list to.

Couple to add - Twitter Today-Talk about what you learned on Twitter today.

Facebook Friday- Get people to share their favorite pictures,stories,jokes on their profile. Whoever wins get their picture,story,joke or whatever on your profile. Or they can receive a free gift.

Thursday Townhouse Tours or Thursday Tours-Nyssa Smith does a very good job with her

Tuesday Tour - Cobble Creek, State College, PA Real Estate

Weekend Events blogs. Free Weekend Event blogs-Things people can do for free on the weekend since people are still going through hard economic times right now.

Those are just a few of my ideas. Some of my few ideas that I need to start doing more again. Thanks for sharing this. Great post.

Kerry, what a perfect post to suggest and bookmark...I did exactly what Cara did above! :)

Leilani

@ Lanre -- Great ideas! Thanks so much -- I'm going to "borrow" them for Part II :-)

@ Jack -- If Santa has a few ideas, please let us know!

@ Melissa - Thanks!

Thanks so much for the feature everyone! :-)

Kerry - This is a fantastic list of blog post ideas. Sometimes, it is very hard to find a new idea.

Kerry, thank you so much for all the great ideas. I'm sure I'll refer to your list several times in the future, especially late at night when I do most of my writing. At this hour my brain is dead, but the fingers are still willing (to type).

Kerry, this is a very nice list of ideas. Actually, I find that the ideas for blogging usually flow, but the time to blog escapes me. My posts have been lacking a lot lately.

Lots of great ideas! Wonderful, thanks.

Hi Kerry. What a list! Thanks for all the ideas. Did you mention talking about local venues - like a new restaurant or something? I am still planning on doing that.I might have missed it. It is a long list! :-)

Wow, Kerry - thanks very much for your thoughtful list. I have saved your suggestions and will utilize them if (when) I have blogger's-block!

Okay, here's one: DOG PARKS and ANIMAL SHELTERS in your area! :)

Shoot, now I have no more excuses about not having any ideas. Maybe I can still procrastinate until part 2 comes out. :-)

Nice list. So many ideas, so little time...

DYNAMITE!!!

What a comprehensive post. Tons of Great Ideas!

Thank You Kerry!

Kerry, thanks for putting this list together. I had some of them on a list I had started for the purpose you created your list. I will refer back to this list, and I look forward to your next half!

Hi Kerry, What a great list. no more bloggers block for anyone!

Kerry- you must have ESP because I was trying to grasp for ideas for blogs. I'm printing this off and keeping it by my computer. As Karen (#21) said... no more bloggers block!

Great ideas. Keep them coming. Nice post.

Kerry I thought of a couple, but they were already on the list. I will bookmark and come back. Thanks.

Kerry, Kudos to you for putting the list together. I will bookmark this post and look forward to part 2.

Thanks - luxury market - how about heliports and small landing field for jets

@ Agent Aaron - Usually my blog ideas just come to me too (usually while driving), but when I sit down to write at midnight, I have a hard time remembering what I wanted to talk about. LOL

@ Ally -- Thank you! I'll add local venues / new restaurants to "Part II"

@ Kathy -- Fantabulous! With so many people trying to just make their mortgage payments, I think that their pets can really suffer. I'll add local animal shelters / rescues and dog parks to Part II

@ Robert -- LOL! No procrastination -- GET BLOGGING!

@ Harry, Robert, Karen & Jordon -- My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by...

Kerry - thanks for this great list and sharing with us....excellent job.

This is great, I read the book "Four Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss earlier this summer and in it he talks about blogging, he suggests you write down a list of at least 50 blog topics, and also states if you cant think of 50 you are not passionate about what you are doing. So I started my list and add to it almost every day, I am up to 92 ideas so far, the list is similar to blogging the more you do it the easier it becomes to find things to write about.

How about golf course properties or courses you have played.

or The luxury home market

Ritu - Thank you for the bookmark -- I hope they help!

Eileen -- Great idea for the luxury market! I will add heliports and small landing field for jets to Part II of Get Blogging.

Kerry, thanks for sharing such an awesome list. I will try to think of some topics and come back to add them. Have a great day!

@ John -- I just purchased the "Four Hour Work Week" over the weekend and can't wait to read it. I will definitely add "The luxury home market, Golf Course Properties and/or great local golf courses" to Part II. Thanks so much for the ideas.

Great ideas. Now if you could please add an extra hour to my day that would be great! Very worthy of a feature and a bookmark!

Great ideas, thank you for sharing and yes I need it some inspiration today.

Excellent list... thanks, Kerry.

Wow you've been busy, that's awesome

THANK YOU! You must have been reading my mind. I am printing this in my blog book for ideas every day!

Well, now nobody who has read this has any excuse for not having ideas for things to write about.

Love the ideas! I have my own list of blogging ideas for days when I hit a blank. I've now addes your ideas to my list!

Kerry - this is a pretty comprehensive list. Can't imagine how anyone can complain about not having something to write about.

Jeff

Thank you. I use the excuse of blogging inconsistently. Now I have no excuse. Great Post.

Thank for the referance. I'll be checking back to this when I'm hunting for topics.

Kerry,

Awesome post. I was just thinking about what I should blog about today and with your help. I found one! I can't wait for more. Good job... We appreciate it!

Great post. I am going to keep this one for a long time. I can't wait for part 2

Great list. I'm beginning to see the importance of more hyper local posting. I'm looking forward to Part 2!

Kerry:

I'm having writer's block. You provided some great ideas.

Pat

Kerry, Great ideas. I don't have any to add but have bookmarked this post and am waiting anxiously for part 2. Thanks.

Kerry, THANK you!

I recently decided to pick up on blogging (I'm pretty new here), and your list is great help. I'd say, I will be able to add to your list (or even create my own) - in a few months from now... AT the moment I'm a gratefull reader :)

Hi Kerry,

This is great. I will use this anytime I have "writer's block" so that I can keep it going!

Wow I am impressed you made it this far! Thanks for the list and I am looking forward to the next batch too.

Kerry - This is a great idea, good start by the way.

This is a great list! I can't think of anything you haven't mentioned. Of course for LOs, there are a ton of topics to cover regarding loans and financing. Thanks for the ideas!

Thats alot of ideas, great blog I will use this for the future!

What a great idea Kerry and you did good with your list of 52. I think this is a must re-blog for all those agents that get bloggers block, me being one if them! I can't wait to see what you list for part two looks like.

I like to do a Freebie Friday blog as I belong to a lot of freebie websites and I like to share those with others and another one to blog about are free events in local areas like farmers markets, concerts in a park or something along those lines. Another I like to blog about is our local family owned restaurants.

Thats alot of ideas, great blog I will use this for the future!

Thanks for all the great ideas. This is my first bookmark. I plan on visiting the next time I get writers block. Great Post!!
