A number of times people have asked me how I come up with an idea for a new blog every day. I thought I would share with you some ideas that have worked for me.
- Write your blogs ahead of time. I write most of my blogs during the weekend when I have a bit more time, then post one each day.
- Brainstorm with someone. Sometimes I discuss ideas for blogs with my husband as well as with fellow agents.
- Reflect on recent listings. I generally avoid blogging much about a listing until it has closed and I never mention which listing it is, but I have found that each one generates at least a week's worth of blogs.
- Think about things in other areas of your life and how they relate to real estate.
- When you read something interesting, pass it on. It's likely others have not seen the material.
- Try to have a blog for each weekday. Once you start slacking it is easy to forget to blog for weeks.
- Read your comments. Very often ideas for new blogs will be there.
- Do not write about your day (most people don't care), but do think about problems you solved that day and what advice you may have.
- Read the news. As many of you have already seen I do not agree with the doom and gloom of the media, but they do provide me with a number of blog ideas.
- Write a blog on how to write blogs
Feel free to add your own ideas.

Nicely done and simply, too. Thanks for the insight in how you approach your blogging. I blog for a small real estate company in the Sierra foothills of California. A number 11 to your list (that I do) could be local MLS statistics each month especially highlighting the Residential Sold. There's 1 post per month right there. Thanks again, Nelya.
