What Can You Blog on Active Rain? It Would Be Easier to Tell You What You Can't Blog About!

Bruce-I think more and more Realtor classes are probably including Social Media in their courses.

Morgan- It is a starting point for blogging.. focus on who you want to attract.. your goals.

Debb- I think one of the hardest parts in getting started is to try to set your goal, and then topic.  Once you have defined that.. you are ready to charge ahead.

Dave- you summed it up well.  I think it's a great mental exercise to zero in on your goals for blogging.

Lisa and Robert- All right.. I'm looking forward to seeing some of those ideas in a post from you!

Richie- My name is Kathy and I was a lurker!  Thank you for your kind words.

Pat- there are so many bloggers out there I think it's the ones who let us "see them" through their posts that get the most readership.

David-there are some bloggers here who seem to have an endless fountain of blog ideas.. I have to work at it.  It's like a mental exercise for me.

BARFF- never on earth could I ignore you! 

Karen- I agree.. great thing to do.. and there's always plenty of support here if you start to flounder.

John- I hope you do... I'll be looking for your post!!

Jerry- It's so good that you're teaching a class on Social Media!  They're lucky to have you to help guide them through.

Shannon- When you feel like you're stuck and can't figure out a topic.. just start reading Active Rain!.

Karen- just read your post and you gave an excellent example of how reading posts AND comments can give you an idea for a post.

Cathy- good for you!  As a Realtor you probably do a number of market reports but you can branch out into other topics.

Bryan- My BARFF Roger Mucci  (#11) admits that his posts are seemingly about nothing but he has a very wide and devoted readership.  I think the key is to make it interesting and keep it real.

Scotti- I learn as much from the comments on posts as I do from any other resource.  And you are so right.. you can learn about other bloggers by "meeting" them via their comments.

Eileen- I believe that like any other exercise or "task" the more you do it the better you get at it.

Bruce- Come on... you can do it... start my commenting on your 10 a day...!

Evelyn- I must admit... I struggle with each post I write and wish I could just whip one out! 

Hi Chuck- hope you found these helpful.

Rosalie- I have no idea but go to Michael Thornton's posts.  I think about once a month he posts figures.  And besides he's a great blogger.

Mike- many thanks.  I hope you're able to use some of the tips.

Marco- back from NY??

Nancy- well said.  Ask most anyone and they'll tell you to write in your own voice!

David- Naw... I just like bling!

 Gretchen- write using your own voice and it will come through on the blog!  And look around on AR.. you'll see all sorts of topics.

Suzy- good for you... I'll keep my eyes open for your first post.

Kathy- it was meant with humor but with the world we live in you'd never know.

Lisa- ok.. so grab your computer and get going!

Laura- aren't his posts interesting.. I'm almost afraid to Google "goatnut".

Jennifer- the best advice most bloggers will tell you is just jump in and be yourself!

Victoria- you just never know how anyone will take what you've written.  And you're right.. you need thick skin if you want to put some possibly controvesial topics out there.

Tammie- I bet it's because when you write about those things you're letting your real voice speak!

Janet- You are so right.  Most of us feel that way but people do get to learn about who you are and will want to come back.

Laura- Oh how funny.. I did watch it all the way through and did not see that coming.  What a hoot!!!
