Added blog benefits

With the benefits of blogging so evident, I have also started a new blog at WordPress.com

The nice thing here is it is easy to use, and for me very familiar since I already use WordPress on my own websites. So now I have ActiveRain, www.EdNailor.com/blog, www.RapidRateRefi.com, and now a WordPress.com blog located at http://mortgages4charlotte.wordpress.com/

The challenge will be keeping content in all places, but I think that is managaeble. With great websites like EzineArticles.com and ArticleCity.com, I can find fresh content if I am stuck on creating my own.

Of course, AR content will ALWAYS be mine!

Just thought I'd share with ya!

Hi Ed,

I am planning to do the same sort of thing, but am a little cautious about starting something that I can't keep up with. I'd be interested in know any tricks you might have to streamline the process.

Happy holidays

Thanks Ed, I'll check it out and see how it looks. Just don't want to spend too much time on-line and not out selling...

I have a hard time trying to balance family, work and active rain.  Any tips on how to manage all blogs?  Do you post the same blog to all different websites.  Or are they different topics?

Thanks for the comments all... Personally I set aside one hour a day dedicated to blogging. In many cases, I will write one major blog idea in Word, and then post the main idea to my personal website. From there I will write teaser excerpts to place on the other blogs re-directing to my personal website for more info.

Blogging does not have to be an all day thing. Find something simple to discuss... things are all around you. What do you discuss at the watercooler? (use only if appropriate conversation!)

Hope that helps..

I also use Wordpress. The more you blog the easier it gets. Wordpress has great SEO, and is popular worldwide. Many agents use Wordpress for their blogging needs and desires.
