You do not have to just blog about listings and market reports. Consumers like to read about events in their neighborhood .
Gita has made some great suggestions here for topics for future blogs. I like the idea of using the calendar to keep track as you discover those events as you learn of them.
Now there is no excuse not to blog!
It is important for real estate agents to blog about real estate . We should blog about listings and market reports. We should write posts with tips for home buyers and home sellers . Consumers can look up listings online on a number of sites like Realtor.com, Zillow etc. We should get them to read our blog so that they will learn more about us and feel like they already know us when they call.
Consumers like to know about events in the neighborhood. We can plan our event posts for the entire year by looking at the calendar.
In February there may be Valentine Day events. You can write about St Patrick's day parties in March.
There are Easter egg hunts in Spring in most townships.
In the Fall we can write back to school posts, bus schedules, first day of school, and other school related posts for school districts in our market area.
In Summer most townships have concerts in the park and other outdoor events. In July there are fireworks.
You can write about Halloween events in October .
You can write about Thanksgiving parades in November.
In December there are holiday events in most townships,
If you pick up a calendar at Hallmark you will find a lot of other days that you can write about.
You should also write about restaurants, shopping and parks golf courses and neighborhood amenities.
If there are professional sports teams in your town you can write about Football, Baseball, Hockey and basketball if you enjoy these sports. It is a good idea to write about things you enjoy and about topics that you like to discuss.
Whenever I write about an event I mention that if they are in the area that day and would like to look at homes I will be glad to show and I mention the name of couple of communities that are close to the place where the event is held .
