Looks like you have quite a task list ahead of you!  OK - I'll help - when don't I?

02/28/2007 09:03 PM by Suzanne Marriott, Associate Broker, CLHMS, e-PRO (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Can I introduce you two to each other? :D

Fine post, and thanks for an easy to read list of steps.

Tony,  thanks for the "navagation tips" for launching a blogsite... I had no idea - Bookmarked!  :  )

Tony you are amazing.  You must have been a military officer when you were younger.

03/01/2007 03:33 AM by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes)

Mike - thanks for the comment!

03/01/2007 10:53 AM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Randy - Nope - never in the military - don't know if that would have been a good fit for me - unless I was in charge - and I don't think you get to start out that way!

03/01/2007 10:54 AM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Deborah - Happy to hear you found it useful!

03/01/2007 10:54 AM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

You make some good points here.  Bloggers need to do more than just write articles to be successful.  Commenting on other blogs, submitting to other social network, directories, etc is vital to actually generating traffic to read your content.

Matt - Thanks for stopping by and for the validation!

03/01/2007 06:23 PM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Tony, thanks for the tips.  I'll add them to my collection of things to do.

9. Start commenting on local blogs

This gains you instant credibility (unless you're a whacko).  I have found that by commenting on other's blogs, they come read mine. 

03/02/2007 01:48 AM by America's #1 Mortgage Broker

OK I'll jump in here and show my stupidity.  How do you find other "related" blog sites? Is it as easy  as typing in blogs in the search bar?

03/07/2007 05:53 PM by Roberta Lee-Norco Corona Riversid Homes For Sale (Century 21 Olde Tyme)

Roberta - Not sure what you mean by "related"....can you expand on that?  Tony

03/07/2007 06:11 PM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

"Related" as in professionally. I know there are all kinds of blogs. I don't want to just waste my time, but would like to investigate other industry related blog sites.

03/07/2007 10:10 PM by Roberta Lee-Norco Corona Riversid Homes For Sale (Century 21 Olde Tyme)

Roberta - If you google "real estate blog sites" the results will be what you're looking for.  Tony

03/08/2007 08:20 AM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Thank you Tony.  That's a dah for me isn't it.  I don't know why I didn't think of that. :/  I tried to google blogs and got so much garbage that I gave up.  Thank you Tony you are a saint. :)

03/08/2007 08:48 AM by Roberta Lee-Norco Corona Riversid Homes For Sale (Century 21 Olde Tyme)

Tony, I'm in the process of launching my own outside blog and found this very helpful.  Thanks!  I'm bookmarking this one.  Actually, I need to come back and go through your archives.  You've got some great stuff here.

03/10/2007 06:12 AM by Palmetto Bay | Redland Real Estate | Maggie Dokic (EWM Realtors)

Roberta - No problem - I have "can't see the forest for the trees" moments too! :-)

03/10/2007 04:55 PM by Tony Marriott, Associate Broker, CRP, CLHMS, CRB, CRS ~~ Phoenix Arizona (Keller Williams Realty Professional Partners)

Maggie - Thanks!
