The Best Of Both Worlds - REBlogworld & BlogWorld Expo

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealSatisfied

The next innovation in blogging technology will probably not come from within the Real Estate blogging community.

I'm not saying this because I don't have faith in the creative minds that occupy this real estate space. I do. But innovation is more likely to come from those who are focused on the larger blogging community outside of the RE.net.

This was true last at last years BlogWorld, where new technologies like Utterz made their debut.

reblogworld badgeThis is one of the main reasons I'm happy to be speaking at REBlogWorld. Of course I'm happy to be doing my presentaion on Using And Abusing The Latest Web 2.0 tools. And I'm also looking forward to hearing the other speakers as well. But the real draw for me was that REBlogWorld is part of the larger BlogWorld experience that includes REBlogWorld on September 19th and BlogWorld on September 20 and 21.

When you register for REBlogWorld, you get all three days for one price. And the good guys (Todd Carpenter and Jason Berman) putting together REBlogWorld have worked out a 20% discount for ActiveRain members. Just enter ACVIP in the promotional box during registration, then click reply to see the new price before entering your payment information. But this $350 price goes to $450 on August 22. So,  & you have only a few days left to get the best deal.

Here's the schedule for REBlogWorld on September 19th:

Room 1

  • 10:00-11:15 Master the Key Points of Web Client Conversion, From Click to Close - Mariana Wagner
  • 11:30-12:45 Social Networking With Photographs - Teresa Boardman
  • 12:45-1:45 Lunch
  • 2:00-2:45 Getting Great Content Out of your Contributors - Dustin Luther
  • 3:00-3:45 How to Win Friends & Influence People Online - Todd Carpenter
  • 4:00-4:45 Getting traditional media exposure using new media tactics - Jim Duncan
  • 5:00-6:00 Using & abusing the latest 2.0 tools - Jeff Turner

Room 2

The seminars will be moderated by Pat Kitano, Kevin Boer, Ginger Wilcox, Mariana Wagner, Matt Fagioli, Jason Berman, and Jan O’Brien.

Hopefully, I'll see you there.

Hi Jeff, While there are some new networks, the tools we are able to have to do our real estate is really becoming quite awesome. And I would imagine you will be running across even more resources at Blogworld.

Has anyone ever been able to determine how many in the real estate profession ( less than the mortgage profession-I think) are actually blogging and building a real on line presence.

Seems to be a real increase in the numbers for those providing tools to real estate, just wondered how many in the re profession are blogging now.

Jeff, this sounds very cool. I can't imagine more, but know that you will share upon your return. I've already made another commitment to teach dancing during that time....;-( It would be fun to meet everyone. ;-)

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the detailed schedule. I'm registered and looking forward to it myself.

I'm also curious about William's question above about the number of Realtor bloggers?  I can tell you this time last year at a CRS event in Santa Barbara the question was posed to the group. The room was full and fewer than 10% raised their hand (a few of us Rainers among the group) when asked that question.  Now keep in mind these are CRS agents who are supposed to be the cream of the crop. What does that say for our industry?

I'd be very interested in your opinion.

Jeff,

Thanks or the post. Appears as though ActiveRain will be well represented. Likewise, the seminar material is rather extensive. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend. However, I trust salient points will be posted in the blogs of those in attendance.

Sounds pretty interesting and cool! You think you can share some of good tips you'll get with some of us that won't be able to make it there? I'll look forward to your new blogs to read all the new stuff.

Looks and sounds like it will be a great event. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it this time around (maybe next year!). I'll look forward to the various "recaps" during and afterwards!

I like the idea of a webinar!  It sounds like a great three days but unfortunately I am saving my pennies for my daughter's visit from CA and a trip to Africa some day!

JEFF!!!  I don't know that I can make this one (but will sure try!)  My schedule is so far out of control and haven't had a day off in lots of weeks.  Weekdays are anywhere from 12-16 hour days :(

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if any groups are getting together for lunch or dinners or parties or anything.  I can spare a couple hours here and there but not whole days :(

I just signed up at the last minute for the big discounts!!!  Looking forward to the event.  The RE section looks so great that it will be hard to which room to go to.

All... I decided to jailbreak my iPhone so I could use Qik.com to live stream some of the sessions. We'll see how well it works. The Qik.com live stream widget is not in my sidebar here.
