Power Blogging

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Motherhood Incorporated

by Sandra Beck and Shannon Penrod

Has your blog brought you a million dollar client this week?  Powerful blogs have the ability to do that.  How do write a powerful blog?  Make the first sentence a question or a statement that you know your reader can't resist.  Go back and read the first sentence of this blog.  It got your attention didn't it?  That is what your first sentence has to do.  Grab your reader and say, "You don't want to miss this!"

The title and first sentence are the most important factors in determining whether people will read your blog.  Whether your blog comes up on a search engine or a blog reader service what will be displayed  will be your title and your first 10-30 words, so make sure your words count!

Good advice.  With time being such a precious commodity its also nice when the entire post is short and intriguing all at once.
