Editor's Notes
- #19 We’re not going to go into the technical aspects of setting up a blog today – that is a whole other class and much more than an hour. But for those of you who do not already have a blog, a couple of user-friendly options include: Wordpress – if you get a Wordpress.com account, you can start blogging today. It’s a free account (your site name will look something like this: mauraneill.wordpress.com, but you can have a purchased domain name point to it). Wordpress.org will give you more flexibility and capability within the site, but will take a little more set-up time and know-how. Tumblr – also free and very user-friendly, but would be difficult to import the content into another type of site if you ever decided you wanted to move your content into another platform in the future.
- #20 Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org – both offer you free blogging opportunities. If you already have a Wordpress website (if your real estate website is built on the Wordpress platform) then you already have Wordpress.org. If you do not have a blog capability within your current website, and you are looking for a free, simple way to start blogging today, Wordpress.com could be right for you. After a few months, when you feel comfortable with the software, it should be easier to decide if you want to stick with Wordpress.com or switch to Wordpress.org for your 'real' blog – and it’s simple to have your Wordpress.com blog converted into a Wordpress.org site, with the help of a qualified Wordpress developer.
- #27 The obvious: local market statistics. The public wants them, so you can give them what they want. Whether you gather them from your local MLS or you subscribe to a service, such as Altos Research, you can not only provide the data but you can (and should) comment on it, help to demystify it, decipher and interpret it for the public so they can understand the numbers.
- #28 Local dining – if you dine out in your market area, then you can let your readers know about where you love to eat and why. Websites like Foodspotting and Yelp have turned diners on to the idea that eating out is a social event – as if there was any doubt. When we break bread, it is often social. Why not turn your culinary adventures into blog posts that allow you to not only share your love of locally owned restaurants, but also to help promote those places, too – they are small business owners just like you!
- #30 Local events – what does your area have to offer?
- #32 DIY transformations
- #33 Running short on time? A quick photo of a local spot is a great conversation starter! People love photos and videos – they may spend more time on these posts than anywhere else on your site – and it will keep them on your site longer.
- #34 Who Are You? Help your readers get to know you! Today’s consumer wants to get to know you and trust you before they will decide to do business with you. Putting some of your own personality into your blog will help your potential clients do just that. That doesn’t mean talking about what a great REALTOR you are – it means giving a little bit of personal insight into who you are – your likes, your dislikes, what you like to do in your town, where you enjoy going. And this shouldn’t necessarily be a huge number of your blog posts – it can just be in the tone of your posts, the personal tidbits you include (for example, when writing about local dining or events). But the more the consumer feels she’s getting to know you, the more likely they are to connect with you and keep coming back.
