Two weeks ago I was speaking with Your East Cobb REALTOR® who not only happens to be a member of Positive Real Estate Professionals but someone I regard as a friend. We were talking about how her blogging style and choice of topics has evolved since she first began blogging last April. I bring up Jodi Smith because her efforts are a perfect example of how blogging can help you to achieve concrete results in terms of business growth. Below are some of the common questions (and my responses) when people ask ‘What will a blog do for my business?’

blogging: Marketing Properties With A Listings Blog - 03/09/10 06:42 AM
Marketing properties with a listings blog just became easy. Imagine walking into a listings presentation appointment armed with the ability to have your client’s property reach the top of the search engines quickly. The great thing is, there are no black hat tricks used to accomplish this. Another great thing is, you do not have to log out of one site and into another to post to this additional blog. Everything is done on the same platform and is almost seamless. One of the things with Postlets and VFlyers is that they require more room that what is typically on a … (7 comments)

blogging: Blogging is NOT the Future of Real Estate - 03/09/10 02:21 AM
Blogging is NOT the future of real estate; it is the NOW. Before someone thinks that I mean that blogging is the only thing that you should focus on, that is far from the truth. With that said, if you are not blogging, then you are missing out on the success that millions are enjoying. Is it hard work? Well, yes. Anything that brings proven results requires us to work at it. If it did not require work, we could charge $150 a month for our online real estate network as opposed to the $150 a year and people would still … (8 comments)

blogging: What can Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn do for my blog - 02/17/10 04:02 AM
A few days ago I had a member  of our real estate network, Positive Real Estate Professionals, ask me “What can Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn do for my blog”? I decided the best way to answer this is by writing an article so that anyone else that has this same question lurking can get the answers. Without further adieu, let’s dive into this article. I guess the first thing that one has to understand is Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn and what they are designed to do.

blogging: Commenting Impacts Your Blogsite - 02/15/10 12:53 AM
Over my years of blogging, one of the things that I see people fail the most at is commenting. Whether it is responding to comments on their own blogs or commenting on others' blogs, they fail. It may seem like it is a painstaking task to do either, yet if people really knew how much it impacted their blogsite, I wonder if they would change their ways. Before we go much deeper in this subject, I have to admit that I was one of the "comment slackers" myself. I used to think that as long as I wrote posts on a … (12 comments)

blogging: The Power of Blogging - 12/26/08 03:44 AM
Have you ever stopped to think just how powerful blogging is? I love over the vast networks that I belong to. Out of everything that I do, I reach over 2,000 people directly. With those 2,000 people, I reach another 25,000+ people indirectly. I can go on and on with this number to get my point out there, but i will not insult anyon'e intelligence. Here is the reason that I bring this point out. Today, I had the priveledge to read this article. If you have any compassion in your heart, then this story will touch you. If you are … (25 comments)
