Real Estate Blog Service

What are your blogging New Year's resolutions?  Aim high and think big, even if that thinking is outside of real estate - become a mainstream blogger, swim in a bigger pond, make money online, etc..

1.       Jump into mainstream blogging: I will be blogging outside of real estate for a number of main stream, huge traffic sites!  I highly recommend checking yourself out of your blog for a few hours every week and checking yourself into the main stream world wide web logging phenomenon.  Find a bigger pond and blog. Start actively soliciting other bloggers to swap blogs or apply to be a guide on About.com.  If all else fails, try submitting articles to the top five directories: EzineArticles.com, Buzzle.com, GoArticles.com, ArticlesFactory.com and WebProNews.com. Submitting to these is a sure fire way to drive traffic! EzineArticles.com and Buzzle.com can bring you a lot of traffic, GoArticles.com brings you backlinks, and ArticlesFactory.com .

2.       Try monetizing your blog: OK, so not everyone loves them some AdSense, so try TextLink ads, but try something!  In fact, I will probably switch to TextLink ads this year.  While we have banked off of AdSense, I have heard and seen amazing results with TextLink ads, so switching how I monetize my blog is definitely one of my New Year's resolutions.  This is a great way to at least pay for your hosting and blog setup.

3.       Publish an e-book: Taking a page from the Aaron Wall School of Blogging, I will publish an ebook for download this year.  I've been working on it for a while now, but I resolve to actually publish it during the first part of this year.  Realtors can benefit from publishing consumer based .pdfs for buyers and seller's guides in their farm areas.

4.       Create a podcast/video cast weekly show: Ever want to be famous?  Don't we all?  While we have had a studio designed for this purpose for a while, I have not yet really pushed to develop this format for the blog.  I resolve to create a weekly podcast/video cast show for RSS Pieces.  Creating and publishing a podcast/video cast show is an easy and inexpensive way to develop a new following and publish training or guide information in new ways.  Realtors should consider publishing buyer and seller guides in addition to neighborhood tours, business reviews and builder/seller interviews  though audio/video formats this way.

5.       Run WebWex's: We have so much training to do around here that we have already begun the process of doing weekly WebEx's on blog publishing, blog marketing and blog SEO and intend to start a formal public WebEx session each week so anyone can login and learn how to do all the stuff that makes a blog successful.
