"How am I relevant?"...is the question that I cannot stop asking myself!
I ask myself this question relentlessly on a daily basis. Every time I go to pick up the phone, jump online or whatever it is that I am doing I want to be productive! I need to remind myself that everything I do during the workday should be of some relevance to my real estate business. Otherwise, how do I expect to grow my business if I don't keep myself in check? I am a dedicated online real estate agent and that is where I spend essentially 100% of my time marketing myself and my clients homes. It is because of this large amount of time and effort that the temptation to play on the net is always there. Having sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace to name a few can be so very easy to get sidetracked and not be productive. Please do not think that I am advocating not having fun or down time, I simply know myself and what I need to do to keep moving in the right direction.
"How am I relevant?"...is the question I ask of my SEO and marketing efforts!
With my deliberate decision to focus my business to online presence, SEO is everything to my business! I am extremely passionate about squeezing every drop of "juice" out of the Google machine. Can I be found everywhere? Will potential buyers and/or sellers seek me out because of my onlne presence? I am constantly on the lookout for new sites that can further promote my business to a very visual online real estate world. There is so much more for me to do before I reach a page rank worth writing home about.
"How am I relevant?"...is the question I ask of all my blog posts!
Active Rain certainly has given me a lot to think about in terms of the art of blogging. Surely, everyone on AR can agree that we all glean so much just from being on here and sharing ideas. I truly believe that a good blog can produce tangible results in terms of lead generation and ultimately sales. I am driven to learn how to blog effectively and produce something worth reading. Like any artist, I really want to get better at my craft.
This question that is so ingrained in my mind will likely never be satisfied or quenched! Although, it may seem like I am obsessed I am simply passionate and driven to succeed. I am haunted by the question of relevancy by choice as I want to excel at my profession. I will never compromise my family for success and I am truly grateful for my wife and children as they keep me grounded in my everyday life!
Sincerely,
