I AM SO TIRED OF BLOGGING ON ACTIVERAIN

PHOENIX REAL ESTATE BLOGGER I had a thought in my head when I woke up this morning while having my first cup of coffee this morning:

I AM SO TIRED OF BLOGGING ON ACTIVERAIN!

Then, I was thinking of the following questions

Does anybody really read my blog posts?
What am I going to write about today?
Do I have to make more comments?
Do I have the time today write a blog post?
Who really cares about my blog posts?

OK-this line of questioning lasted for about three minutes this morning. Then, I started to think about the positives about blogging on ActiveRain

Obtain more Google Juice for my new business
Write about the situation that happened the other day
Write a blog post for the new monthly contest
I have to get to reach my goal of 5 million points
Cannot keep a good man down

CONCLUSION:

I just wanted to disclose that there are times when I have those thoughts about blogging. Then, I receive and Email or phone call from a new client that read my blog post. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy blogging about my adventures in real estate. Nobody believes my property management stories so I write about it to share with the world. Also, I really enjoy the relationships that I have obtained through ActiveRain blogging.

I AM WORKING ON MY NEXT BLOG POST AS I TYPE.................MORE COFFEE PLEASE

Harry,

We both like to write, occasionally have been tired of it, but not enough to stop. I see posting here as a communication to people I care about regardless of whether I know them or not. Google recognition is nice, but given that they change their algorithms faster than a mother changes a baby's diapers, I don't give it a second thought. A

I love ActiveRain but am finding it's difficult to keep up with everything. I've got a long way to go on my personal site to catch up to what I've created here.

What can we do for you today?

The question is do you blog on active rain or on your own blog every day?

Hi Laura...Your question made me wonder which you do. Hope you won't mind sharing with me. That last time I really blogged much on AR was quite some time ago. I spent a month blogging each day and use to get Google alerts when I did. That month I was alerted twice. I know that there's more to blogging here than that but it still was very disappointing. I'm wondering if I would be better off just blogging on my own site or here.

Hi Harry

I suspect most, if not all, of us have these thoughts from time to time. Makes me think of a post I wrote quite some time about about the 10 reasons I hate blogging. Of course it was all in fun with a bit of sarcasm.

Blog on!!!

Your real estate writer

The posts I'm reading today all seem to be a reminder to MAKE time for blogging. Unfortunately, I had several things that took time away from my "real" work - the writing that people pay me to do. So... as soon as those things were (somewhat) under control, I had to focus on that real work. I've never missed a deadline and don't intend to!

I understand your feeling about this topic. I have felt the same way occassionally. Sometimes the words come freely, sometimes they don't. When I have a new experience, or remember a past one, I can write about it and hope someone else can learn from it, bring a smile to someone's face, or just enjoy it for what it is... an interesting story.

Harry, Blogging is one thing I just can't seem to get my head around. Yeah, I know how, it just seems as if it has all been said before.

I love reading everyone elses blogs and comments every day, but just the thought of having to come up with original content gives me a headache.

If you'll keep writing, I'll keep reading - and every once in awhile I throw in my .02 cents worth.

I actually struggle with just "getting it done" -- I think too much and then get distracted. One of these days I'll surprise myself and I'll Just Do It consistently.

Thanks for this great post. Your title got me.
