10_blogs_2020.jpg

Every year I do 200 to 400 consultations with real estate professionals all over the world. It's surprising how often the topic of what blogs or websites I follow and why. In 2018 my list was more the real estate blogs you SHOULD read. This year in 2020 I am simply listing the blogs I actually read which are not all blogs lol. Some are Facebook pages and Instagram feeds. About 1/2 are real estate related and the other focus on search engine updates, digital marketing, and motivation. In a moment I will give you the list . The order of the list is based on how much time I spend on that blog. From most to least.

 

But first here is the link to the full blog post on InboundREM 

Here are the 10 blogs listed in the order I spend time on the most time spent to least. Also what information I am seeking by reading that blog. 

 

 

1. Neil Patel - Digital Marketing beginner to intermediate

2 Gates Notes -  Inspiration/Motivation and recommendations for mind-expanding literature.

3. Search Engine Journal - Organic and Paid Google Algorithm updates

4. Active Rain - Staying in touch with my chosen vertical

5. The Close - Tracking the most popular producer of real estate content

6. Adam White - Advanced link-building Strategies 

7. Christophe Choo - The ONLY working real estate professional I follow. Nough said.

8. Tom Ferry - Gives me something to talk to my clients about

9. Brian Dean - Advanced SEO strategies

I follow three of your ten, but I measure my time and don't feel expanding my list would be a good use of my time.

While I am familiar with most of these I do not follow regularly...but perhaps I need to rethink that approach, given your recommendations.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend at home!

John Henry, Florida Architect Ha! This has been my best-received post about blogs I follow ever. The funny thing is I was sure it would be the worst because I went deep off the rails in terms of real estate specific. Glad you like the list.
