I just read that a new service is being offered for realtors. You can pay a company to do your blogging for you. They will do a years worth of blogging for $399/year. I have heard of assitants blogging for realtors, so it only makes sense that someone would find a way to capture a new opportunity to appeal to realtors who feel they are too busy to do their own.
If a blog is a way for people to get to know you, then the question is who are you? Sometimes it isn't the arrival at the destination but what you learned on the trip. Garbage in, garbage out. If they are writing for many realtors, (and they would have to for $399/year.) How original can the content be? How specific to your real estate practice, or to your target market can it be. Just like a canned website is not as effective, how can a blog by a service replace your comments that refect your personality. I think you are cheating yourself. It is not something I would do even though it would make me score better. Do you not think that Active Rain will evolve so that they will be able to tell what is canned and what is original. I think they will, if they won't the readers will. There are a lot of very talented and I am sure very successful bloggers on this site. You can learn a lot if you take the time to read other blogs, and you can share what you have learned with others that are not in direct competition to you. You will get out of it what you put into it.
Just as all of the content on our website is original, all of the content on our blog will be original and hopefully relevant to our real estate practice.
