I'm Going To Write My First Blog Next Week

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Central

Hi everyone. 

I'm writing this letter to let you know I have decided to write my first blog next week.  This is an irrevocable decision. 

I have been an Active Rain lurker for nearly a year, every since my Frisco, Texas real estate friends Loreena Yeo and Janeil Lester told me about AR.  I even went to Rain Camp in Dallas last month, and won a Kodak movie camera I plan to start using soon.  

My next task is to decide what I should blog about.  There seem to be endless possibilities.  

I could write about my lunch experience today at the Chick-fil-A in The Colony, Texas.  The place was so crowded it was hard to find a parking place, but the food was great.  The drive through line nearly stretched to the street.  And who knew Chick-fil-A hosts a Daddy Daughter Date night on the eve of Father's Day (reservations can be made online at daddydaughterdate.com)? 

I'm thinking Chick-fil-A gets more business than the new In N Out Burger place a couple of miles away in Frisco that all the ex-Californians around here are so crazy about.  I need to check that place out too.  

Or I could write about this young couple I'm working with who are 1st time home buyers.  They were ready to make an offer on a home in Murphy, Texas, when I said "why don't we take a look at this other house about a mile away that is a short sale."  They loved it, and now we are going down the bumpy road that sometimes leads to a short sale close.  It is a good thing they have a lot of patience, or at least I hope they do.  

Maybe I'll write about the Del Webb age restricted Frisco Lakes community I drove past twice today.  I wouldn't mind living there myself, but my wife says she is too young.  I've been eligible for several years, and she is not that much younger than me; please don't tell her I said that.  

If I don't write about one of these topics, I can always sort through the ideas I have written down on the backs of old contracts, Post It notes, paper bags - well you get the idea.  

And then there are those thoughts that keep bouncing off the inside of my head that keep me awake some nights.  Maybe I'll choose one of them to blog about so I can finally get some rest.  

Well, thanks for listening to me, and I'll be talking to you again soon.  Next week. For sure.

Have to laugh Gary! This letter is a blog. It looks like a blog, reads like a blog and quacks like a blog. It's even public (not members only)

Congratulations Gary on your first blog!

OK Gary, you've thrown down the gauntlet!  Why don't you write it TODAY?!?!?!  Your first post will not be your best, so just have fun with it and learn as you go.  I would vote for # 2 in your list.  I would encourage you to take some of the AR classes on blogging so you can learn all about SEO and how you can write so that people can FIND you!  Good luck - as Nike says, "Just do it!"

WTG! Gary, you stepped into the Rain. I have to warn you though. It is addictive. I guess you saw that at Raincamp Dallas.

The more you write the more people you will meet! I started here in February and I haven't looked back since! C'mon in the water Rain's fine! :D
