30 Days of Marketing Opportunities - Day 14

This is Week 3 in my goal to continue providing marketing motivation for you! 30 Days of Marketing Opportunities will give you 30 projects or tasks that your Virtual Assistant can handle on your behalf, generating leads that will ultimately generate more income for you! These are tasks that do not require a lot of high-end skill but, instead, require some time (hence the reason your Virtual Assistant should handle these tasks, not you!) and attention to detailJoin me on the journey!

Day 14 - Create a Neighborhood Blog

A great way to set yourself up as the neighborhood blogexpert is to set up a neighborhood blog. What better way to show people how much you care about their community than by ensuring that everyone knows what's going on there? Your neighborhood blog can highlight neighborhood or community events, important news affecting the community, PTA information, school information, and (of course) real estate information!

Fellow longstanding Active Rain member Gail Robinson created the neighborhood blog Black Rock Online.  It is a prime example of how a great neighborhood blog can be done!

And of course, if you need help blogging, let me know!

I’m looking at setting up a new web site that isn’t under the control of anyone other than me, so I’ve bookmarked this to come back and look at some things once I have the new site up.

Thanks, Li! And more contacts are always good!

You're quite welcome, James. Stop back by!

Hey Naomi! It really HAS been a while! I'm good. Trying to stay in the habit of being actively involved here as well.  It isn't always easy but it's always worth it! How are you and the fam?

Thanks for stopping by, Evelyn!

Awesome Jim! I always tell my clients to be triple sure they have full control over any website that they plan to invest any significant amount of time or effort into. Otherwise, someone else can snatch it right out from under you without warning or recourse!
