12 Awesome Ideas for Your Real Estate Blog or Website

I love this post from Kathy Schowe where she shares ideas for blogging locally.  And she's right.  So, AmeriFirst friends, if everyone on our team would blog once a week like this we could dominate our market!

Original content by Kathy Schowe DRE# 1780607

This week we talked about blogging (again) in our Monday meeting and our broker (again) encouraged all or our agents to get involved with ActiveRain and get blogging!  If everyone on our team would produce even ONE targeted, hyper-local blog per week... (or DAILY) our office would DOMINATE  the local market in a short time! 

 

But agents asked:  WHAT DO WE BLOG ABOUT?    

 

Here are some AWESOME IDEAS FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE BLOG OR WEBSITE!

  1. Great Deal of the Week!  Write about the best house you or your team find each week-- Include pictures!
  2. Great restaurant of the Week!  Choose your local favorite and write about it! Link your blog to their Facebook page!
  3. Featured LOCAL business of the Week! Link your blog to their Facebook page!
  4. Take a photo in your neighborhood, or town and ask  "Where in 'your town' is this?"
  5. Write about current market conditions in your local market.
  6. Write about recent sales in your local market.
  7. Current events in your area... golf tournaments, dog shows, concerts, plays, car shows, etc.
  8. Local election results!
  9. Best "Happy Hours" in your town!
  10. Events and activities for kids in your area!
  11. Dog Park information in your neighborhoods.
  12. Things you LOVE about your town and neighborhood!

When you learn about your community, show that you care by blogging about things people are interested  in... you become the "local expert".  By investing a few minutes daily or even weekly... the content you are posting will pay off with contacts, prospects, and clients in the future!

Tara - This is a great blog to re-post. Here's a few other ideas:

1. Community construction projects

2. Ethanol gas locations and electric car hook-ups in town

3. Community news from the local chamber of commerce or local government

4. Sales to rental ratios of properties for sale in town (Great for attracting investors!)

I try to stay up on the local events and new restaurants for this very reason...I like to mix up my outside blogs with real estate and community interest items.
