For years I've heard members of our industry refer to AR as a blogging site for "Newbies." As if we're a bunch of lost green horns bumping into each other with stupid questions & unworthy blog posts.
Would someone please inform me where the elite bloggers of real estate graduate to after they're done with AR? Is there some secret website that isn't found by Google that is of more significant relevance? I have a WP site and I use it diligently, but with that I incorporate AR. I use this site to help with my agent to agent networking and I use my WP site to target consumers. Both can be done on AR, but both won't be done on anyones WP site. I don't know of any Realtors who have active threads on their own personal website. It just isn't part of an agents DNA to spend their efforts supporting a post on a competitors site. This is why I believe both sites have a purpose - for me.
But back to my original statement...
Over the years I've seen hundreds of AR members come and go. Many of them are on FB, Twitter and Instagram, but they aren't blogging - at all. It's hard to consistently originate your own material. As months and years go by you begin to ask yourself... "What haven't I covered?" It shouldn't matter.
AR has new members and old members routinely coming and going. For me, this is terrific. It's hard, but I do my best to be as consistent as possible with posting. At one time I was posting 20-30 times a month, now I'm more around 6 posts a month. Years ago I focused on Members Only posts, now they're just about all Public. So while I'm not "new" to blogging, I am always trying to change and do things differently as maintaining a presence with AR will always be important to me.
