Blogging...is it for you?

Blogging is one of the hottest trends to hit cyberworld in recent years. But, what is it and why is it beneficial to your real estate business.

The definition of a Blog, which is short for weblog, is a journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption.

But, I have a website you say, so why do I need a blog? Here's why according to About.com...

1. You can share ideas with a larger audience, saving you time and money.

2. The software is relatively easy to use and in many cases free. Who can pass up free?

3. When linked to your websites, your search engine rankings can increase dramatically.

4. It is a convenient solution to communicating fresh and up to the minute information.

So, OK, you agree a Blog would be a benefical tool in your marketing arsenal, but you just don't have the time to devote to updating a Blog 1 or 2 times a week.

The good news is, you don't need to. I can do it for you. I will:

1. Set up your Blog.

2. Link it to all your websites.

3. Incorporate RSS feeds...this is how the blog search engines find you.

4. Get other agents to link to your Blog, increasing your rankings.

5. Add content to your Blog once or twice a week and notify you when it has been updated.

You don't do a thing!

A Favor to Ask, it only takes a minute....

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. And, you can do it every day.

Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site!

Pass it along to people you know...it could save someone's life!!

And please tell 10 friends to tell 10 friends, today!
