Yesterday I received an email from a real estate agent in reference to an article in Broker Agent news called What Every Agent Needs to Know about Blogging, Social Networking, RSS Feeds and SEO . I read the article and my response to the email is below for anyone else that may have read that article.
For those of you short on time, the article basically bashes Blogging & Social Networking as a media for advertising. Oh and get this, the writer actually suggests that you should PAY someone else to maintain your blog for you. Ummm... how many of you would ki.ll me if I decided that I am going to pay someone else to write for me? (Ok put your hand down) YOU are the expert... you are the only one that can exude YOUR personality in YOUR blogs. Unless you want some college kid writing about your profession and scaring away what would have otherwise been potential leads... don't listen to this guy. Business, no matter what type, has ALWAYS been about networking... referrals are the bread and butter of ANY business. How on earth are you going to get referrals by setting up your online image as if it were a pull-string toy?????

Hi Agent,
Read the article. Not sure this guy knows a thing about the internet, but also really not sure who he is. He definitely likes circles.
"urging folks to employ methods and programs which are not overwhelmingly successful for a high percentage of the people who use them is not productive..."
Ummm.. a high percentage of people don't even know what they are doing... that's why they are not successful.. it's like 100 kids that never rode a bike before, hopping on their first bike and heading down hill... every once in a while you will get one that makes it to the bottom w/o crashing
It's the ones that take the time to learn that actually enjoy the ride.
Thoughts?
