Hi Chris – I’ve done everything by the seat of my pants and haven’t ever set any time lines for anything – probably not a good idea, but I guess I’m not a planner. I’d love to help though so if you have particular questions, let me know.

Thanks for the great post.

I’ve been at it for about four months now… time to set some realistic time lines. Can you help me with a few of yours?

I’m with you about jumping into blogging without a plan. I had no idea what I was doing. But, a little over a year after getting started, I had one listings directly due to my blog and two solid prospects I’m talking to now.

One thing you didn’t mention is how much you learn. In order to write about real estate, you need to know what you are talking about. I started tracking market statistics and reading everything I could get my hands on to give me something to write about. If it wasn’t for blogging, I wouldn’t be as knowledgeable of an agent.

I wonder about this everyday, but I keep doing it! My gut says it will pay off in the long run… and in this Real Estate business, we all know what happens to those that are short timers… they’re gone!

I love this quote, which I think applies to you, other bloggers and social media tribe members.

“In the land of the blind, the one eyed woman is Queen”

Think about that. Yes, you are expert, you have unique skills, you attract unique attention, you have unique knowledge, experience and perspective. You’re a thought and action leader as well.

It’s all good, right?

Paul – I love all the social networking. It makes my day go by much faster talking with friends.

Lisa – Do you typically move forward without a plan or was this different? I usually go with my gut but was wondering if having a plan would have been better – if I would have accomplished more, faster or…

Love those calls! I had no plan either…just my trusty ‘Realty Blogging’ book and tips gleaned from the blogging peeps I started reading & following on Facebook.

Not to mention the extra added traffic to your site that blogging brings – especially if you take advantage of the social bookmarking. Traffic is king!
