Real Estate Bar Camp in Richmond #REBCRVA and Social Networking with Brian Block

Real Estate Bar Camp in Richmond #REBCRVA and Social Networking with Brian Block

What a great time today with fellow Real Estate Professionals.  Jennifer James gave a wonderful talk on the power of Activerain and Google placement.  Blogging has been a constant challenge for me.  The schedule of Real Estate tends to knock me off of the schedule I should be keeping on blogging.  After learning about the SEO benefits, I'll definitely be working on my blogging effort.

Yesterday master social networker & blogger, Brian Block spoke to the powers of using Facebook, Activerain, twitter, & blogs to build one's real estate business.  As I was starting to get in the groove, I had to fly out the door to meet with a Client to draft a Purchase Offer.  Not complaining, but a prime example of how easy it is to get knocked off the blogging and social media bus.

As luck would have it, Brian Block was the first speaker at the Richmond Real Estate Bar Camp #REBCRVA breakout session on blogging.  Beyond good and powerful stuff.  Brian has been interviewed by countless media sources due to his hard and diligent work on blogging and social media work.  After a LONG day (yesterday), I checked out Brian's blog.  Impressive. 

In addition to the Activerain talk that Jennifer James gave, and the Blogging talk that Brian block gave at the Richmond Real Estate Bar Camp #REBCRVA -

I enjoyed hearing a wonderful effective Real Estate website talk given by  Bobby Carroll Dakno.  Beyond the obvious, Bobby gave more awesome insight on SEO, as well as the psychology of consumers visiting websites.  No question, we will be revamping the websites.  Thanks, Bobby! 

Sarah Stelmok and Heather Elias did an awesome job speaking to Hyper local websites & blogging.  I think we started to scratch the surface on giving information on the areas that we work, but hyper local blogging goes way beyond.  Heather & Sarah are truly giving tremendous data on their local area including restaraunts, parks, ativities, neighborhoods, people, and yes..even a little real estate.

Aside from the mega informative day, we had a wonderful time catching up with Agents statewide.  Not sure why I hadn't been to Richmond Real Estate Bar Camp #REBCRVA before, but I won't miss another one if at all possible. 

Oh yeah...by the way...this is me trying to utilize some of Jennifer and Brian's tricks.  Any thoughts on  Richmond Real Estate Bar Camp #REBCRVA or Bar Camp in general?
