Why Blog...Why Now...Why Not?

By
Real Estate Agent with Ebby Halliday Realtors

Ok, I get the on-line social network aspect of bloging.  I like that I now have an avenue to express myself.  I love that I can read & connect with other professionals from around the country. 

My question is has anyone actually made any    money from bloging?

Don't get me wrong...I want to provide input, receive information and communicate with the new world but I was just sitting here wondering what to do in order to connect with more home buyers and sellers.

For me one of the hardest aspects of this business is trying to figure out what is the best way to spend my time, energy & money to produce the best results.  If you are like me then you have probably waisted a lot of money, blew a lot of time and missed many good opportunities.  I study this business a lot and I still wonder what to do, so that I can do more.  Am I alone?

You aren't alone.  I have been wondering the same things.  But there are enough people who have had business success through their blogging that I'm convinced that it will eventually pay off financially..

Holt,

     I am here to tell you keep blogging.  I have had nothing but positives from it.  It will take some time, but just to give you an idea I started in April and it has already 'payed' off.  Check it out   http://activerain.com/blogsview/617443/1st-ActiveRain-Lead

great question, when I first started I wondered the same thing. I can tell you that I have one referral from an agent in California, so working with a buyer (no offers yet) and I had a listing appointment. However, the house could never sell at the price they wanted. Otherwise, nothing.

However, its a pretty inexpensive (free) way to market yourself. Good luch
