Ah yes winter, most people are out right now doing their last minute Christmas shopping, visiting relatives and going to holiday parties. This is the absolute PERFECT time to update your online profiles and classified ads. It is the BEST time to post a few blogs and add more content to your websites and optimize them for 2009!! 

Internet search engines never take a day off, but a lot of your competitors do. If you put the pedal to the metal right now, you will be one step ahead of everyone come January 1. I did the very same thing last year and had a record breaking January!!

The market may be slow right now, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be too.

Mike, you are so right! I am working on my 2009 business plan and it includes a regular blog schedule.

That is why I'm always blogging about my business (except for a few fun blogs) and not reminding everyone that it is 3 days to Christmas and there are only a few days of shopping left like everyone else is on this site.  I think we all know this.

I have to laugh!

Hear I am at my telephone and computer taking calls and answering e-mail while biding my time on ActiveRain.

No time to slow down.

Mike,

You are right!  Getting out and seeing people is key right now.  Writing ads for your listings and buyers will have more hits this coming week than in the past few weeks.  Good end of year tips!  Thanks, and have a nice holiday!

I agree.  Just use the slow times for education, previewing listings in the area.  Anything to stay busy in your field.  I've noticed an increase in business for the last 2 weeks, hope you see the same.
