Real Estate Social Media Blog

 

Yesterday I received an email from someone who is dying to blog but the problem is they feel they are not creative enough...

Do not know what to write about...nor have the confidence to write a post.

So they asked me what should I blog about on Activerain? 

So I thought for those that are new...or even seasoned..here are a few topics that will help you to get read and fed..

And at the end hopefully a commission check and building strong business relationships!

 

Think local..your state..your city...your subdivisions

• The first time home buyer tax credit and where to get the information
• The dos and don't of buying or selling a short sales and foreclosures
  
• The steps in finding a home
• Mortgage and tax information
• Market Reports
• Steps in selling a home
• Investments, Investors and Investing
  
• Hiring the right REALTOR
• Questions consumers ask
  
• Your specialties
• Your farm area
• Inspections, appraisals and the mortgage process
• Home staging, clearing the clutter and increasing your chances of selling
  
• Local Businesses and experiences
• Interview local people, city officials, veterans, teachers and business owners
  
• Happenings meaning special events..most cities have monthly events such as baseball games, parades, fairs etc.
• Nite life, schools, family activities, clubs, organizations and houses of worship
  
• Historical sites...every city has them
• Important phone numbers and information such as the post offices, electric, water, cable, police..etc..etc.
• Important tax information and changes
• Real Estate Law changes
• Home Owners Associations, Condo Associations and city and county home owner's regulations
  
• Recycling, charities, schools, parks, vacation spots, beaches and lakes and rivers, local news, your affiliates, hobbies, things you do
• How to tips on blogging, social media, building business relationships

 

When I think of blogging I think of conversations..conversations that you would have face to face or over the phone...information that is pertinent for someone to make a real estate move in your area...pertinent to your business and pertinent to your goals.

And if you can't find the right words... post Photo's and video's and if you are still stumped..reblog baby and add your own personality!

I know that not everyone has the gift of gab..but I can assure you...by blogging..it will come to you...and become quite natural..so pick a topic.

Have a plan...and write...just write.
