Kevin, no I find that hard to believe :-)
Ines - I agree that diversity of presentation is as important as diversity in people but I will stick by the fact that this ultimately boils down to the writing. Good, bad or indifferent. As I told my class yesterday, in order for blogging to be a successful venture you have to share yourself and while pictures are good, in this medium, words I believe are better. You don't have to be Tolstoy or even Jackie Collins, but you have to put the words on the page or it just a Flickr group about Real Estate.
And to take the writing out of blogging is like taking the heart out of the watermelon, the whole thing is good and there is value in each and every part, but that is really the best bit and if it were removed, you would still eat the fruit but you would enjoy it a whole lot less.
By the way, for someone who is "visual" you sure do have a way with words :-) I am looking forward to meeting you and hope you will be there at Inman.
Take care,
Tisza
I agree with Teri - Kevin....."NO, we don't believe you"
Tisza - unfortunately I will not be going to Inman - you guys will have to tell me all about it.
One little comment....or, maybe two...I am very VISUAL, which is why I love color and widgets and giving my audience plenty to "look" at...so I loved the video judging and was already in the process of making some changes, but their comments just fortified what I was already planning. I also read their book last month, which I found far more interesting than some of the others on the recommended "lists"....
It takes us right back to the fact that each of our blogs is as different as each of our "colorful personalities"...if you have the readership that you want, then you are a winner....
Caleb,
If you didn't love all the bitch slapping you got, don't ever take a job as the Manager of a large real estate office. It's like herding cats, and some need their little nails clipped :)
Hi All,
I agree with both Jackie and ARDELL... we will all attract the kind of clients that appeal to us and that our styles appeal to. That is what has made this such a truly maddening experience as each of our offerings really does give a great feel for it's creator (or the person it was created for as the case may be) so to dun someone for not having enough widgets is as bad as it is to crucify them for too many. Perhaps, the only thing to do would be to judge each piece on its own merits which brings us right back to content and criteria.
Read what they write, look at what they share and see if that is consistent from start to finish and see if it is working. A business blog needs to get business and if it is, whether you like it personally or not, clearly some folks do and it is doing its job.
If you are a word person, your blog will reflect that and you will attract those people who want that and if you are a picture person your blog will reflect that and you will attract your peeps as well.
One of the many things we all learn in the sales game is that if you are an auditory you will connect with others like you and be repelled by a visual, and a kinesthetic will not be OK with an auditory. So you learn to mirror what you are given to make people comfortable. In a blog, there is no way to do that and I don't really think you should. Be who you are and let the others who are like you find you and it will be a happy marriage indeed.
So, yes Jackie we ARE all winners and actually so are all those that have learned along with us.
Take care all, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!
Tisza
