Getting the attention of readers is one thing that all online writers face. Keeping readers engaged is an even bigger challenge.
I have been writing online since the fall of 2004. I have a number of blogs which have between 1,500 and 2,000 subscribers. Most of by subscribers are not in the market for real estate or at least so far I haven't heard from them.
Since the fall of 2006 when I finished my real estate classes and passed my NC state exam, I have been developing some new sites with information that I hope is useful to people who might want to move into our area.
The hope being that by reading the information that I provide, they might feel like it is less of a gamble to use me as a Realtor®. I know that I am a reliable, hard working person, but how do I get that across to potential clients?
I have chosen the web, and I am working hard to make sure that my online presence reflects the same quality that I would deliver when I am acting in someone's behalf.
Last night I sent my first email announcing that I am in real estate to seventy people who were previous business acquaintances. I am proud to report that I got my first subscription request back before eight am this morning.
My completely revamped CoastalNC.org site and my Coastal Real Estate site are now live.
I hope that I have created a better user experience and made the information easier to find. I am counting on the new sites to continue the success that I have seen on my sites recently.
I would love to hear any feedback. You can click here to email comments to me.
I have also started a real estate newsletter about coastal property which I will t try to do once a quarter, The first one is available for viewing and if you would like to subscribe, this link will get you to the form.
I have also chosen the Reston Backfence Online community for my first online ad. I will be interested to see what the response is.
Today's picture is the May 14, 2007 sunrise over the Roanoke Valley from our deck. I do photography also and have a site with lots of Roanoke sunrise photos. The information about the prints is at my home website and the photos are at this site.
