Once upon a time ago…I walked into a Keller Williams Technology Class that was in a hallway off the beaten path at the conference. It was 2008. A KW agent named Mariana Wagner was talking about blogging.
I had never heard of it; didn’t know what it was or how to do it…yet I was intrigued by the concept.
Three years later, I have three blogs for the different suburbs (I use the term loosely) of Indianapolis Real Estate. I also write fairly consistently for Active Rain. It took 8 months to go from page 33 to page 1 for my key words (Fishers Real Estate) and I still am working toward page 1 for the Carmel Real Estate area.
Blogging takes creating consistent content in a nutshell.
This year I was asked to be on a panel at Family Reunion with two other Top Bloggers. The room was packed with folks sitting on the floor on both sides and into the aisles and people flowing out of the doorways into the halls. What a difference three years makes, from a hallway classroom to a classroom with over 500 people in it.
It was thrilling to pay it forward; to give ideas, pointers and education about blogging to those willing to learn. Mariana facilitated the session. The Q & A was amazing, 30 minutes of questions. And about a hundred cards exchanged after the session.
I look for a good Pay it Forward every week; not just one where I was nice to another agent or helped a team member…I want that to be part of my everyday life. I look for a Pay it Forward moment where I step out and do something a little outside my comfort zone. This challenge forces me to make those attempts.
Anyone reading this blogs…but think back to when you first learned about it and stepped your toe into the blogging waters. We can all help those who are just beginning, because we all know the rewards are there in terms of education, friendship and of course, business.
