Blogging in this Economy....To Blog or Not To Blog?

Leslie, I do only the various sites, twitter, facebook and a outside blog. It is working fine for me and my team so I will not be changing anytime soon. Follow me @frankrubi on twitter.com.

I ma with you Leslie, blogging is advertising and marketing. Same old does not work anymore.

Real Estate has changed and so has the way we do business.

Leslie,

I have been doing Facebook, Linked In, and a personal website. I am new to blogging, but just love it. You are right, it is so easy!

I was with about 6/7 agents in my office today and I brought up the subject of blogging.  I told them how I am now on page 1 or 2 (multiple times) on Google after 3 weeks. 

The lack of interest from most of them was really surprising to me.  Someone told me he spent a bunch of $$ on SEO for his website and when I google "his town homes," nothing on the first few pages. 

I suppose I will get more credibility once the business starts coming in.  We shall see.

Hi Leslie,

I'm one of those agents that don't blog. It's not that I don't want to but I just don't know what to write. My partner Alison can sit down at the computer and blog all day!

I have pages on Facebook, Plaxo & LinkedIn.

I think it's important to network with other people & I definitely see your point in getting your name out there in cyber-space. I'm thankful that Alison enjoys this part of marketing and she lets me have the fun of working with the clients.   :-)

Hi Leslie,

I, too, have begun to blog for the first time!   As you know, I am a home stager here in Chillicothe, Ohio and have begun my new business.   I would love to blog with you and other realtors to get your feel on home staging.  Since these blogs reach out over the US, I would love to hear from realtors who have successfully used home staging and reaping the benefits of it plus the ones who may have questions about it. 

My blog is Sandy Carter/ Staging By Sandy.   Would love to hear from you.
