The Beginning of a Blogging Marathon ~ Hundreds of Blogging Ideas

By
Real Estate Agent with Falcon Property Company

Blogging Ideas When I first started in ActiveRain about two years ago, I had never really blogged before. Two or three months after I started, I joined a 31 Day Blogging Challenge that changed my online presence and totally reformed my business.

So for those of you who are not blogging as much as you would like, and for those of you who think that you can't do it, trust me, it will rock your world. Our very own Kerrie Greenhalgh is offering a contest to write 31 Blogs in 31 Days, beginning TODAY. To get points for a post on ActiveRain, it must be at least 50 words long, and it must be original content.

Think you don't have anything to say? Here are some links that will give you hundreds of ideas for not only blogging, but also for keeping track of blogging ideas. You will be amazed at what happens to your business when you focus on 'telling your story' to Buyers, Sellers, and other Realtors each day.

Thanks, Kevin. They shouldn't run out of ideas, at least, huh?

That's what I thought when I thought about writing for 31 Days, Tammy. WHEN? :)

Hello Mimi, my first 31 day blog challenge was in the month of May the same year I joined AR.  I was ragged and exhausted by the end of the month.  Now, blogging daily is as much a ritual as morning coffee.

Hello Mimi, thanks for the gentle reminder. Do think a 67 year old farmerboy can start new habits? Daniel

so sorry, Donna Foerster. This post was from a year ago that I shared with someone for ideas. I think Kerrie La Guardia's a little busy right now for a contest, but that's a great idea for the near future.

Gotcha! I didn't notice the dates of the comments, just the date of your post. Thought it was strange that it would start on a Tuesday on the 5th of the month!

So sorry about that. I was surprised when I added something in the post that the date changed. :( Hope you're well, Donna Foerster.

I like the idea of keeping a journal for ideas.  So many times I will have an idea and if I don't write it down - poof it is gone!  Must be my age! (Grimace)

Oh never mind... now that i'm reading the comments.  It seems you got a lot of us excited.  It seemed odd that it would start on the 5th of the month.  haha

Yes I keep a list of ideas when they come to me.  Just a list on my iphone.  Sometimes when I'm driving a long way I'll use the voice to text feature and dictate the copy of a post. It really saves time later when I can just copy and paste it into a new post.  Have a great week!

Donna Foerster ~ I am working 18 hour days outside of the house until later tomorrow - at which point I'm in a conference for days :) I haven't really looked, but I will - in the morning. Too exhausted tonight to do anything but go to bed :)
