Yesterday I held an open house on a bank owned property.  The night before, I created a post on my blog about the open house, capitolcityforeclosures.com, and posted it.

The next day, at the open house, the nicest couple from Nebraska shows up and tells me they just saw me on my blog!  They found me because of my 2 month old blogsite!  I never heard that about my static site in the 5 years that I owned it. 

Blogging is king or queen depending on your perspective. :)

In fact, traffic jump about 200% on that single post due to where I re-posted the article.  Craigslist.org.  I posted my url in the subject line and then included a link to my site in the body of the post.  On Sunday, I got 48 hits on that post alone when prior to that, like all newer bloggers, I was waiting for someone to notice it although I could see there was some traffic coming to the site.

I know from working with clients at the real estate tomato that this happens all the time but when it happens to you, it feels awesome!

I'm hooked on this thing, it's awesome.  My experience with the tomato has made all the difference in my strategy and understanding of this method of marketing my business.

Get out there and blog!!  :)
