What Should I Blog About

Hi Elyse:

Sometimes the idea well for blogging runs dry, or at least get clogged. And sometimes even with ideas for writing the motivation is just not there. It certainly has happened to me from time to time. Don't be too hard on yourself. Are there any upcoming events in your area that may interest residents and visitors? New restaurants or businesses? Have you shared a post about flowers for the May Challenge? What should people know about moving with their pets?

The mind needs to be trained on what to look for,  for a blog and while driving, the tidbits are there. Just have to have an objective eye.

Like Seinfeld's show about nothing, you can do a blog about nothing.

My ideas come in spurts - and I definitely have time where either my ideas or my motivation is/are low. More ideas will come!

Good morning Elyse. Many years ago I wrote about an affirmation daily. One day, I had nothing. So, I posted some trivia questions as a break. And, everyday since I post more questions. From tie to time, I get an idea and write some extra posts. Go figure. Your local knowledge will have you revved up shortly. Enjoy your day.

Very clever, Elyse, and good thinking in calling Margaret. I can't say I've run out of ideas to write about... I just run out of steam to write.

We can always count on Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 to be there for us, I have always enjoyed speaking to her on the phone!

I was just having the same thought!  Yesterday I had so many ideas I could burst.  Today, nothing!   I'll read the comments and have another cup of coffee.  Thanks for the inspiration y'all!  

Here's a couple of posts from Mimi Foster out my AR bookmarks page that should be a huge help!

There may be duplicates - can't remember if I consolidated some posts, but this should get you through next week 😊

Hi Elyse, I know all too well what you're experiencing and haven't blogged much lately myself. Sometimes life gets in the way and the motivation to blog just isn't there and others it's because I cannot think of anything "blog worthy".

When that happens, I go through the archives of all my blogs from when I started on AR in 2011 to the present and usually find some ideas for a post or update an old one.

Hi Elyse Berman, PA -

I think we all go through this.  Like Nina Hollander, Broker, it is more about running out of steam.  There are so many things going on that when I am given a free moment; I would rather veg out or go work in my garden.  

I can suggest this.  Subscribe to your local Chamber of Commerce newsletter.  There are usually so many local topics you might be able to tap into.  I hope that helps.

Writer's block for real estate blogging is real! Great post.

All the best.

I thought that only happen to me but I see Im not alone.Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day and a blessed week.

Yes! We can blog about a variety of topics and sometimes just on the very simple things.

You and Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 win the day!  There are definitely days, more than I care to admit, when I start to blog and am fumbling!  Sometimes I start writing and it turns into 2 posts, but not these days!  Good for you and congratulations on all of your successes.  You too Margaret!

I don't think I have ever been at a loss for a blog topic. I have a challenge remembering that I ALREADY DID a post about a topic. Have caught myself a couple times. Post completely done, I'm on my website looking for something and....BAM....there is the same topic already done. Good Grief Charlie Brown!!

Mine is time blocking and getting it done, and keeping track of the posts. As we all know (especially on our own websites) that it is good to link to other articles or pages on your site. THAT is where I get lost. Either I don't have the post I want to link to, so then how to remember to do THAT post later, and go back and add that link in. 

Ugh.....I need another cup of coffee

Since your tagline is "Your pet friendly Realtor", I would suggest anything/everything pet related in your market.  This weeks pets up for adoption, sale on pet food, things to watch out for (fleas and tick season), etc.

One of my friends years ago showed Standard Poodles.  She ran one advertisement with her an her beautiful show dog with the tagline "For a new standard in real estate, call Lori"  It was brilliant, but she only ran it once.
