Where are my Thoughts, Where did they go?

By
Real Estate Agent with CondoDomain.com

Writer's Block!Have you ever been on a roll where the thoughts to blog coming like second nature? Then all of a sudden, bam you are stuck with the slightest idea on what to write.

Who are we to target? Do I continue  to target my market? Do I target services in my market? All want about to the Realtors to network with? Either way I have come up dry?

So I have noticed my stats going down. But at the same time I have noticed my phone ringing. Buyers are contacting me. They are finding me here on the rain. So  my slump needs to end. I need to be able to reach the buyers and sellers of my area.

I want to be able to see my google juice clime again, but my mind draws a blank every time I try to post something. So I am looking for help. I need ideas!

I don't want to write about the same things over and over again. I was out today to place I haven't been in a long time. I was talking with my husband, you know this would be a good thing to blog about. But at the same time a very touchy subject. And if you know me, I really don't touch that. But hey there is always a first for something right?

So you tell me, what do you think are areas to touch? Something different, something out of the box? There are many here creative, so help me get my juices flowing again!!

Jeannette, I think you just hit on one of those subjects ----  not knowingg what to blog about.  It happens to all of us from time to time --- we hit a valley rather than a plateau.  But I can tell from your profile and your prior blogs..... it is a very temporary place for you ---- you are a natural.  You always have so much to give and so much to share.

As I drive from house to house blog ideas dance around my head. However once I sit in front of the laptop they dance away so quickly it makes my head spin sometimes!

How about starting with special events going on or coming up in your community? Or road work. New construction. New businesses opening.  Old businesses closing. OR...

You could plan a unique marketing activity and blog about it!  Any of those help?

Sometimes you can read articles in your local newspaper and blog about what's happening locally - in the government or city.

Jeannette,

You know me, I'm what we call an A.D.D. blogger anything and everything can be a post. So far it has worked pretty well for me, but don't worry, I've started to see my stats slip also, but like you, I'm getting more calls.
