How do you decide what to write in a blog?
Recently, Residential Mortgage of SC brought to South Carolina a speaker to address Social Networking for the AgentOwned Realty sales associates and staff. The speaker was none other than the one and only Rebecca Levinson. She was fantastic. She has many of our agents excited about getting into the Social Networking World.

Rebecca gave us a great idea --- take a note pad around with you and when you think of an idea, just jot it down. I have some of my best ideas while in the shower and driving alone.
Today, I was coming up short, so decided to write on how to decide what to write in a blog.
As Rebecca taught us, you need to involve yourself in your blogs --- don't write as a 3rd person. Make the blogs personal.
Also, you need to be careful what you put in a blog or put on line as a status update ---- you must remember that the world reads these things.
I learned this lessaon the hard way. We recently hired at AgentOwned Realty a Broker-in-charge who had been a broker-in-charge with a competitor in the marketplace. We were so excited that I put on Facebook that he would be our new Broker-in-charge at a particular AgentOwned office. Problem was that his license had not officially been transferred. Needless to say, someone saw this on Facebook and forwarded it to the President of his former company and within hours of my posting, he was called on the carpet. Now, to be fair, his former company already knew that he was leaving --- they just didnt know where he was going until my Facebook announcement. As it turned out, no harm done, but it made me realize that you must be very careful what we post for the world.
So, how do you decide what to write in a blog? Whatever is on your mind.
