It is not enough to have a blog, you really need to write and do so consistently! Sharing meaningful content is key to your social marketing success so what can you use for inspiration for keeping your content fresh? Here are 11 thoughts for posts:
1. Write about something you want to make or invent.
2. Write a “Best of ______” post.
3. Give a tour of your blog.
4. Make a list of your favorite blog posts, websites etc.
5. Write about a new trend in the real estate industry.
6. Listen to Talk Radio for thoughts.
7. Write about challenges you have faced as a real estate agent.
8. Write about the greatest lesson you have learned in your life.
9. Draw inspiration from your children.
10. Write about the pros and cons of something
11. Write about the “hideous truth” about some facet of the real estate industry. Don’t be worried to stir up a small controversy – it fosters conversation! Embrace the negative comments!
Some of these thoughts can breathe new life into a tired blog. I suggest a blog journal so that you can write down thoughts when inspiration strikes you and don’t forget pictures! They are immediate attention getters. I hope I inspired you today and please share your posts with us!
I know realtors are busy, but most are missing out on an incredible marketing opportunity by not blogging regularly. A high quality blog that informs prospective clients can be a tremendously effective selling tool. Many businesses these days are doing very well because they spend time and money on building an excellent blog. In fact, many businesses actually become a monetized business from a blog.
The blogging concept can work just as well for realtors as many other small business industries. Another great set of topics for realtors is to blog about their local area - the neighborhoods in which they work, the schools, the political scene, etc. Prospective home buyers want to learn about an area and who better to tell them than a realtor.
