The art of blogging transforms the average individual into a columnist or author. When a blog entree is saved it is published to the world. We can right our views and our thoughts just as easily as any columnist has throughout history. Some blog authors have a following as loyal as a traditional columnist of a local paper. Short stories can be written without a publisher. Blogging is such a free form medium that it can be enjoyed by anyone.
My first attempt wasn't a masterpiece. It was written on May 6, 2007. It didn't even receive a comment until November. Foreclosure market. I started to blog on a regular basis in November 2007 not understanding what or where I was going.
Today I was teaching a class in my market center, something I do often, and the class was made up of Real Estate newbies. I asked them to introduce themselves and in turn I introduced myself. A new agent in the front row, had a whimsical look on her face. Then she said, I have been reading you. I was confused and asked her to elaborate, she said she had been googling different topics about Real Estate to shorten the learning curve, and she felt some of the blogs that I had written were very informative and she liked my writing style.
I then interrupted my curriculum with a short session on branding and the benefits of blogging for branding.
So, you see, I am a published author of informative Real Estate topics. Wow, someone is actually reading this stuff and not earning points. I sent her and everyone in the class an Active Rain invitation.
