I think more and more people are understanding the benefits of blogging and social networks.  The problem is that most of us don’t have the time to write the blog posts or set up all of the social profiles.   Here are a few tips of what I am doing to make sure that I keep posting to my blog.

1) Subscribe to other blogs through RSS feeds.  When you do sit down to write your blog, you can get ideas of what others are doing by skimming theirs

2) Keep a folder in your email of industry related articles that your friends and colleagues send you.  Again, when it’s time to post, skim through that folder and look for ideas.

3) Write about something that interests you in your blog. 

4) Write about something unique in your blog.  I see a lot of real estate agents who write about Foreclosures or Denver Real Estate.  Those articles are too vague and have a lot of competition on the SEO charts.  Try writing about foreclosures rates in your specific subdivision or farm area instead.  There are not as many people searching for those terms on the search engines, but then again, you won’t have as many articles to compete with for #1 blog post on that topic either.

5) If you are one of those people that does not like to write, try a video blog.  Most laptops are equipped with a web cam.

6) Schedule a time for yourself every week to blog and stick to it!

7) If you decide that writing a blog is not something that will ever work out for you, but that you need more content for your website, please feel free to contact the Miles e-team!  We have writers and SEO experts that are able to help you with content on your blog or website.
