“Consumers Look at Online Recommendations”

 

I see proof each and every day. I am doing between 6-7 mortgage application per month that come directly from blogging and social media. I would never have believed it in a million years. The main reason that folks will always comment its the recommendations.

 

Recommendations in your social media venueOn my Linkedin page there are over 100 recommendation. I am in the process of totally rebuilding our website so that prospective clients can connect the dots between all my social media venues and the website.

 

I have been actively blogging for the last 18 months and have never looked back. I can’t even imagine if I had started a few years earlier.

 

What kind of experience are you having?

Joe, I am just now beginning to see some of the benefits. And like you I can't imagine what it would be like now if I had started years ago.

Joe I am not seeing as many applications as you, but I do get enough to make it well worth my while to keep doing what I am doing.  I also need to keep a better track of how much of my business is coming from my blogging, it may be more than I initially think it is.
