An Ambassador's Advice To All You Virgin Bloggers Out There!

Reblogger Kathy Schowe
Real Estate Agent with California Lifestyle Realty DRE# 1780607

 

I invited a newbie to AR this week and I'm looking forward to reading her first blogs!  It isn't easy to get going on AR, but that's what we, as Ambassadors are here for!  Don't hesitate to reach out to us with your questions... we are more than happy to help you get started.  Pat Kennedy's post below is a great post for newbies! 

 

Original content by Patricia Kennedy AB95346

I just read a cute post by a newbie blogger asking for some ideas about what to write about - she's never done this before.  

So here's an advice to all of you newbies from on oldbie. 

  • Write about your market.  Let us know what the houses are like, how much they cost.
  • Pictures!  Give us pictures!
  • Write about your town.  Talk about the stuff that goes on.  Where are the farmer's markets?  Any good concerts  coming up?  How about the parks and beaches?
  • Write about challenges you face in your business and how you deal with them.
  • Share your success stories.  It's OK to brag a little bit.
  • Share your screw ups.  Talk about how your fixed them (or not) and more important, what you learned.

But whatever you do, do not disable comments on a post.  We love to write comments!  It's as important as writing posts.  And we don't bite.  Or at least, most of us don't bite.  And those who do don't bite all that often!

So welcome to ActiveRain.  And if you have any questions, just ask an ambassador!

Good choice for a reblog.  I missed this the first time and I needed the reminder of what to write about.  Patricia Kennedy  does a great job with creating direction.  I am no longer a newbie, but I too sometimes need inspiration.

I wrote about putting away Ole Ned and getting a horseless carriage.  It was great fun and it continues even today

Hi Kathy~ We are about to start working with a new loan originator. She's not new to the business, just new to us. I don't think she's blogging, so I'm going to introduce her to AR. She'll be the 3rd lender this year. No one seems to stick around. Hopefully she will!

This is an excellent selection for a re-blog.

When you are at loss for a blog topic, start with a photograph and write about it.
