1. Conversion

2. Sign up

3. Where is the money? Present a situaion, identify how money can be made.

4. Mind expanders - If you were not a Realtor/Agent how could you make money related to real estate.

I would think much more effort would be needed to entice others to become part of the contests community. I am not one of those.

Residential Real Estate and Investment Properties

Ones that are of interest. (I know, can I be any more vague?)

The 30 in 30 was good because I hit that mark each month anyways, I just had to space out my postings.

Was going to skip the summer and winter "show us your home" contests, but I had previously taken some good photos that I could use.

I'm skipping the social media sucess story one because I don't have anything to say for it.

I skip most of the vendor sponsored ones because they are too tied into products or processes I neither use nor want to use.

I like the ones that are fun, encourage growth and somehow "catch my eye."

In my opinion, contests encourage us to write about things that we don't usually blog about and often provides us ideas for our blogs. I enjoy the contests that have us describe our areas and the best features of living where we live. For example, if you were hired to be the Director of Tourism for your community how would you promote it?
