I thought I should touch on blogs, especially since we are in the midst of one, and explain them a little bit more. Blogs are great places to share content and resources because readers are more forgiving in blogs. They are looking for the raw content. Visitors also find blogs to be more honest and sincere.
There are several great places for blogs, but I really recommend wordpress. Take a look at wordpress.com, and you can find plenty of information on setting one up. Finally, what should you blog about? Find something you care about. An established realtor in Katy said she focuses on lost pets. She posts about pets lost in the Katy area, and you may wonder how this connects to being a realtor. Absolutely nothing, but she is providing a resource. She is providing a service that people in the community can rely on, and she can remind them she is a realtor from time to time. Bottom line, you should find something that you are interested in, passionate about, or have a lot of information about. You don't want to start a blog and lose steam 2 months in and abandon the blog.
So after going through the class today, I learned that I need to put more focus on blogs and how they are incorporated into social media.
