JULY CHALLENGE - What’s Happening in YOUR City?  

 

Have you ever read George Souto’s blog? The number of events in his area always surprise me as I’m in a major metropolitan area and I feel like he has as much going on in Middleton, CT as I do here in Charlotte! 

 

In the Q&A section last week, we discussed posting local events for July 4 - Independence Day fireworks posts seem to always be a bit hit for those searching online for a place to enjoy the holiday festivities. Those who specialize in SEO will tell you that local posts will draw the consumer to your ActiveRain blog like no other posts. The consumer in your area is always searching for something to do, hence the increase in traffic when you post local events. 

 

Most of us forget that the consumer who views your local posts can very well be your next buyer or seller. Why? You are THE local ‘source’ of information. Your searches and local market information on your sidebar are always planting a seed for those consumers searching for ‘things to do’ in your area.  

 

Here’s an example:

 

Hits page views ActiveRain

 

As you can see my one local event in the surrounding posts, 24-Hours of Booty (a charity cycling event, if you’ve never heard of it), received the most number of views, BY FAR!  That is 41,000+ visitors who clicked on that ONE post - do you think at least 1 or 2 of those will be hovering around my blog? I will say that even if only one of them winds up eventually buying a home from me, it’s definitely worth the little time it took to write a post! 

 

Here’s the deal!

 

  • Contest begins JULY 1 and ends JULY 31st @ midnight Pacific time
  • Write 5, 200-word ORIGINAL posts, featuring local events in your area (posts must be written during the month of July).
  • You must include at least one photo, graphic or video
  • Include event details, ticket information, etc., if applicable.
  • In the comment section, enter links to ALL 5 POSTS in ONE COMMENT.
  • Partial credit will not be able to be given - the rules must be followed to be awarded points.
  • You will receive 2,000 points for writing 5 event posts, following the details above.
  • Points will be awarded in early August, 2017.

I've got three of my five posts already published. One is finished in drafts and one more to go. No problem meeting the July 31 deadline, Debbie.

For me it will like cramming for a final because sometimes you are so busy you can put 5 posts together but I will try.

Debbie I posted my five in a comment on Debe's blog.  This was an easy challenge and easy AR points :)
