We can learn a lot about people by reading what they write. Blogging is a reflection of how we think and the attitude that we have about each topic we discuss. Writing is a method of communicating, and communicating is synonymous with marketing.
When we market, we are connecting with people; we are publicizing information; and that conveyance of how we think and express ourselves is what leads to another real estate client. If someone reads a post and the style and information in that post is appealing to them, they become followers of your blog and they will eventually communicate back to you.
If information is shared with others and that information is useful, you’ll find yourself with subscribers. There are many on ActiveRain who have not taken the plunge. I know these individuals know how to communicate because they sell real estate, and I’ve communicated with them.
It’s obvious that they want to blog because they keep coming back for more. They don’t leave the site and never return; they continue to read posts and comment; and they want so desperately to write that first blog post.
They’re well versed on many topics but they just don’t have the courage to reduce their thoughts to writing and share that opinion. They’re shielding themselves from the public and controlling who they allow to know them.
Blogging can be very stressful until that first post is submitted, but once that happens, blogging becomes a wonderful way of relieving stress. It's a peaceful way of venting; glass doesn't shatter; the police are never notified; there's no bar bill; you're not breaking the law; and your lungs won't be destroyed. You don't know what you're missing until you start blogging.
