Ask An Ambassador- What Things Should Realtors Blog About?

Great tips for the newbies and oldies here in the Rain.

Debbie Reynolds you are right - there are so many things to blog about! And even if nothing else, talking about the market works! People want to learn about what's going on in Real Estate - they all have some kind of interest in what's their home worth!

Hope newbies take a clue from your post and come up with great posts here in 'Rain.

My friend Mike just recommended a book about becoming an idea machine by the same title and it's about writing down 10 ideas every day no matter how bad or good they are just to get your brain exercising that muscle. I think it's a good idea!

Life is always interesting if we want it to be. There are always good and bad things happening, We really just have to know where to look, Praful Thakkar

My bottom line has always been does Blogging bring in new business. The answer is yes. 

My problem lately is I have too many ideas swirling around and I just can't stop the flow long enough to get one good post written.  

Having subjects to blog about isn't the problem.  It's finding the time to write that is an issue for me.

Hi Debbie --- sometimes the mind can go blank when it comes to blogging topics. Review your day -- what you see, what you do, the questions people ask, situations....be open to the possibilities.  And as that Nike slogan reminds us...just do it.  

Debbie,

Another topic to write about is our experiences in real estate.  For example - how we overcame a challenge, humorous experiences, etc.  

Bloging is where the consumer gets to know you better, your knowledge, your personality, etc.  Yes, there are many topics, but just not as much time sometimes.

Think guy and gal in the audience. What you would want if they were you out in the wild blue yonder needing just what you blog post about daily.

Debbie, My personal experience is there's never a shortage of potential topics once you get used to blogging regularly.  Keeping a focus on writing what will make your phone ring vs. what will attract comments can be a challenge too.

Thanks Debbie! I think many consumers are new to the area and want to know more. Information about schools, etc. can be very helpful. 

Good morning, Debbie!

Ideas for blogs is not my problem, it is that round thing with numbers 1 they 12 on it's face.  I ideas sold for $10 each, my bank account would be needing a weight loss program.

When I see apples on a tree, I think "Apple Pie." A few weeks back, as I walked into a business, I noted Ole Glory was tattered, torn and worn.  I said something to the gentleman.  There is a blog for Veterans day in the works.

While driving through a condo project, my mind went to the conflict between Patriots and their HOS boards over flying the Flag.  I can't help it; but my challenge is that round device with twelve numbers upon it face.  For years, I have made notes of things I see, things I need to read up on, problems I would like to solve, and the blessings God lays along my path.  Currently, I am alert to the things I need to share with my daughter as she begins her real estate career.  I should buy a small tape recorder like I carried for years as an MLO: "NOTE TO SELF..."

 A lot of good ideas here.  I do need to start writing down ideas when I get them.  Certainly writing about topics you know is key to a good and interesting blog.

Debbie Reynolds Thanks for the list of ideas - always useful to have something to spark the creative juices!

This is good advice for those bloggers who need topics.

For me, if is often easiest to begin with a photograph.
