5 blogs about blogging - Linkroll #2

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealBird Inc.

Second issue of my Linkroll. See Linkroll #1 for my favorite tech blogs. This time, I list some great blogs about blogging, some from the marketer's perspective, some with monetization tips and the bonus one from the best social media ""artist"", ZeFrank - IMO. 

  1. Problogger.net - I tend to check this quite often. One of those few sites, which I remember to type in when I randomly want to see some new blogging tips without using my bookmarks

  2. http://www.dailyblogtips.com/ - Another great site to visit for random or for ongoing blogging tips and analyses

  3. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ - Master marketer. 

  4. http://www.copyblogger.com/ - Copyrighting and blogging tips

  5. http://www.johnchow.com/ - Blog monetization tips

Bonus: http://www.zefrank.com - Zefrank is the man. He made online, interactive, social media applications way before it was "easy". Some of his projects are performance arts, some are just hilarious, while others are simply the best examples of ad-hoc online communities of sharing and taking actions for fun or for good.

Zoltan,

Great tips-made ven better by the fact that you can embed an Obeo tour in a RealBird single listing website-now that combo has some marketing PUNCH!

Derenda - Busy is good. Many good, actionable stuff on those blogs. Monetization strategies are probably the less applicable to real estate blogs, but I included that anyways, maybe it is helpful for some

Steve - Indeed. RealBird property websites with Obeo virtual tours embedded are beauties :) See for example this Keller, TX home for sale by Brenda Magness, Brenda Blaser & Pam Yoakum Realty Group

Thanks for checking in

I went to some of these sites and it is just so hard to know what to do first; what do to consistently; what to do when.  At this point, I just try to sign on to AR and blog at least twice a week and to my own blog three times a week.  I have managed to understand hyperlinking and using key words bolded and changed my signature to include my target area...but that's about it for me.  Being over 40 I feel like I am always struggling to understand exactly where I want to go next in the SEO world.  I was an accountant before a real estate agent, so I am cheap which probably doesn't help either!

Cindy - You are on the right track. The #1 source for learning and benefiting from real estate blogging is AR in my opinion. These blogs above contain some advanced topics, so don't let them overwhelm you, just read them as a good reading when you have time. Some of the posts may just randomly inspire you. Blogging has to be natural eventually, a way for expressing yourself in a new media. The rest will follow. Consistency is important as you stated and no reason to worry about SEO, besides being consistent with small issues as well, just like you said: adding title to hyperlinks, images, putting some thoughts into the post title etc. Content is the king, so focus on your expertise and niche.

Thank you for commenting.

Zoltan,

Your post gives me a place to escape my day of insanity of trying to put my house back together again after Ike, keeping the business going, serving as Association President and State Officer.  I can escape to the links and plan for the days in the future that I will have time to actually be more creative on my blog again.  Thanks.
