Using Blogs to sell Real Estate

Using blogs is an excellent way to enhance your Real Estate business.

What is a blog, blogger and blogging? They are not just very funny words but they also represent a very powerful communication tool. The WordPress site has a great introduction to blogging.

I’ve done a lot of research in cyberspace myself on this topic and have found 2 excellent sources for information on Real Estate blogging. John Helmering and Kristen Veraldi operate Real Estate Blogsites. Here you will find very informative content pertaining to blogging in the Real Estate industry. They also have a great blogging platform that you can use complete with search engine marketing. They teach you the importance as well as the difference between Long Tail and Short Tail SEO. They are the WHOLE package .. see for your self.. and get your Real Estate blogsite up, running and generating business today.

My next Recommendation on this topic is the Rain City Guide. Operated by Dustin and Anna Luther in Seatle Washington, this blog demonstrates a great example of how a Real Estate Blog should look and act. Rain City Guide's mission is to be the best resource for real estate information in the Seattle area. They also give you very specific information on what to do and what not to do when Real Estate blogging. For example, I took special interest in Dustin’s article, 8 Common Mistakes Made By Real Estate Bloggers. What an eye opener this article was for me and can be for you. Another great example happens to be a very critical component to operating a successful blog. We all know and have heard (over and over again) that in Real Estate, Location -Location- Location is the most critical factor in a property’s value but what’s most important when you're online? LINKS... and lots of them. Check out, Linkation-Linkation-Linkation. In Cyberspace, he with the most links coming in, wins.

Read up and learn how fun and easy this can be.. The benefits to your business will amaze you.
