Three Thousand Blog Posts...The Rome Way

It's taken ten years to write 3000 posts.

I was not counting but noticed this round number on the  Leaderboard.

 

3000 Blog Posts Margaret Rome

 

And my blogging has been done with no particular strategy.

Yes, I really said that!

 

Many members have planned their posts knowing each day's subject well in advance.  These members are to be admired. Their business plan is written, they know how many transactions they will do and how many clients they have to meet. They even know what days they will take off.

 

The Rome way is not planned in advance. I think on my feet. I take on interesting clients. I take on unique properties. I pick up the phone whenever I think of someone.

  I write my daily posts late at night, never sure of the topic.

But when I start typing, the words always appear. 

The subject will depend on...

 What happened today? What photos are on my iPhone? Who was I inspired by? Who did I inspire? What was said that made a difference? 

 

In the past week, I have ratified contracts, interviewed sellers, negotiated offers, met appraisers, spent hours on a home inspection, shown my properties, signed a new listing, attended two funerals, counciled clients, done a live radio show, spoken with most of my sellers, interacted with lenders, title companies and other Realtors® 

I have had contractors in my own home, had dinners with friends, spent quality time with my daughter and a bunch of other things that I have forgotten. 

Just another typical week.

 This is my life and blogging is a part of my day to day activities. 

That's how I've written 3000 blog posts in the past 10 years...

The Rome Way!

Hi Margaret - That's a lot of blog posts. I write a bunch of planned stuff, mostly market reports (I tend to do it in binges, and post one a day), but the most fun is just writing the stuff that interests me or is fun. Have a great weekend!

Pretty impressive efforts - and with no strategy.   I like your ideas about what happened to day, what you accomplished, etc, I will add that to my brainstorming efforts!

I like that you don't over think the process. It's easy to get tied up in our underwear and then do nothing. I like the way you roll...I mean Rome!

That really is a staggering amount.  I'm over 2,000+, and then run more original content on my WP site.  But I'm like you Margaret Rome, Baltimore Maryland  I have no rhyme nor reason.  I'll hand it to you, though.  I've stopped blogging as much now.  The burn out has set in for me. I am still "active" here -- with reading and commenting, but blogging . . . not so much.  GOOD for you!

Well done Margaret! I have no idea how many I've written but my way is similar to yours. My blogging is not planned out except for the Wordless posts on Wednesday.
