BLOGOSHERE

By
Real Estate Agent with ERA TEAM IV HOMES

Less than a year ago,August to be exact, I didn't even know what a blog was. I asked my partner to help me with a blog site. We found a free site & I began my trip into the Blogoshere.

It was explained to me that blogging was not about letting the public know how "great" I was or about the company I am with. It was a conservation or dairy about useful Real Estate information with the public. It was also explained that I might not have any  responses but that didn't mean the blog wasn't being read.

I have written about 150 blogs. 80 with Active Rain 70 with  two other sites. There are very few crossover blogs.

Writing a blog can be time-consuming  and a thoughtless blog comment can reach a lot of people.

I am curious about the agents that joined Active Rain (which is a blogging spot) and do not blog. There are no pictures,etc. Did they just join so someone could get invite points? Shouldn't they be eliminated from this site? Certainly not my decision to make. Just a thought.

Happy Blogging!!!!!!

I don't think they should be eliminated. Some people are not good at writing (just look at some of the addendums they write!). They could just enjoy learning from others.

Hi Lisa, You are probably right!  But they could submit a picture. Thanks for your input.

Janice: Unfortunately, they are missing an opportunity to network. I just found a Realtor for a friend in Delaware. Over half the people in the particular county didn't have photos. And all but a few had posted any blogs although they did complete their profiles. I chose the person with her website listed which was very informative.
