The Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors has scheduled 2 New Blogging & Web 2.0 Continuing Education Classes for February 19, 2009.  Here's a snippet from the website promo: 

"It seems everyone, from celebrities and athletes to CEOs, heads of nonprofits, and members of Congress have a blog. Some corporations, such as Verizon and Cisco have even successfully used blogs to affect legislative change. Blogs often rank high in search engines, offer better communications, opportunities in relationship building, and media and public relations. Blogs are a low cost way to market yourself, gain insight to your customers, appear authoritative, build, and maintain your reputation."

"Did you know that approximately 51 percent of the blog readers visit product and/or corporate sites because of reading blogs?"

If you're in the Ann Arbor, MI or surrounding areas, you will want to take advantage of these State Certified Courses which provide 4 hours of Continuing Education Credit.  You will also benefit from learning how this leading edge technology is transforming the nature of real estate marketing and prospecting in a way which can increase your earning potential in 2009.

The courses are:  Blogging Basics for Real Estate Professionals (K1061) and Blogging Ethics for Real Estate Professionals (K1062)  Both courses provide a comprehensive overview of issues which are emerging as important aspects of performing in the real estate industry of the future.  Visit the site to registerAlso open to Members of the Public.

Lola, I think this is a wonderful idea and to earn CE credits for it is fantastic.  I just forwarded the link to my local board in hopes that one day we will have classes like this too.

Lola, I was at our local monthly Realtor Council Meeting, and one of the main topics was about having classes on blogging.

Lola - I think it's terrific that they are offering a course on Blogging Ethics. Our local associations do not, unfortunately, seem to be very progressive with regarding to blogging classes.

Lola, It's nice that you have a class there although I'm thinking you should be the one teaching it!  You're a fantastic writer.

Hello Lola,

Love reading your blogs.  Excellent idea for the board.  I have been teaching these classes without any CE and would love to convert/modify the necessary elements that would achieve the state CE... Wish I had their outlines :)

Best of the year to you Lola

I'm planning on coming. When I first got the email, I emailed right back and said, "is Lola teaching?"

Yes came the email back.

Sign me up I said. In fact I was doing a social network class that day and changed it so more agents would sign up.

This is very progressive thinking for a local real estate board. And blogging ethics to boot! Great idea.
