Early last year, I had lunch with Kristin Little, a loan officer, who introduced me to the ActiveRain Network. That day, I had no idea how much of a blessing being here would be to my business!
Words are not enough to describe what blogging has done for me.
It:
Enables me to do something I love to do: Write!I am a journalist by training, but since I began my real estate career, I had gotten away from the thing that I love to do most outside of real estate. Write for fun! And believe me, writing on ActiveRain is sooooo much fun!
Has given me great exposure to the search engines. For example, since joining ActiveRain, I have received phone calls from the local press wanting to know if I'm currently flipping a house because of a post I wrote on the subject- or if I would like to participate in a national real estate article.
I have also received calls from investors nationwide about investing in North Carolina. Wow! When I ask why they wanted to work with me, it mostly came down to the fact that they liked what they read on my blog and Website.
Just last week, I had an agent who provided me with a referral who wants to purchase approximately $500,000 worth of property in our area. Anyone who says that blogging dosn't work, just don't know what they're talking about!
Allows me to show the world my other areas of expertise and interests - and that I am not just a real estate agent but a real person - with lots of various talents and interests.
I still have so much to learn about blogging - but I feel so blessed to be part of this community. I have made new friends and contacts with professionals I would have otherwise not known.
What has blogging meant for your business?
