Does your real estate blog speak to your readers?
Does your real estate blog speak to your readers? Now, you may think that I mean this in the “make sure you are getting the message across” kind of way. That is important, no question, but I was asking if your blog literally speaks to the readers? We already discussed the options for speech to text in your blogging, so ...
Your real estate blog posts are local posts and local posts are fresh!
Feed your blog local “food” and reap the rewards! Your posts are local posts and local posts are fresh (sung to: brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh! jingle from the 80′s) I have noticed a growing trend for people to want to support their local business, eat locally grown foods, frequent local establishments…why not be local ...
Keep your local blog buzzing with amazing content
Focusing your blog on a local or even hyper-local community is all the rage right now in real estate blogging. And for good reason. If you spread yourself too thin over a large geographic area, the “synergy” (to use an over used word) of all of your efforts is just not likely going to pay off as well as if ...

Advanced SEO? Or just plain logic? 5 things you can do today.
I am not an SEO genius… …but, between the articles here and my own experiences, I’ve figured out a few things that work for me. My RErockstar.com blog isn’t the highest ranked site, but it garners enough traffic that I consider it to be a successful real estate blog. AgentGenius has plenty of great writers (ever read Jack Leblond’s SEO ...
Speak to me as if I’m the only one in the room.
I’m listening. Last week’s post, “Why? Finding real estate career motivation in down times.,” was a introspective piece, meant to show the reader that we all need some motivations in our life and to do my usual of opening up myself to allow me to grow (and you to watch, interject, and perhaps learn a thing or two). The following ...
Breaking News: Finding a Trusted Source
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! In today’s world of real estate blogging, we’ve become more than just agents with a penchant for writing. We’ve become mini-local news stations. Our focus may be housing markets and the latest listings, but think about how many times you’ve blogged about local politics, grand openings, events, and major news events that affect your ...
Establishing a Vision for Your Online Engagement
Wondering From The Trail I’ve noticed an emerging trend in the past few months in the Real Estate Blog world. Bloggers in both single-author and multi-author environments have been expanding their topics from the initial visions they had. It’s frustrating for some readers to subscribe to a blog and then see the tone or writings change. I’m not saying that ...
The Brand Challenge – Looking Back In My Blogging History
We can’t change the past. Last week, I announced my impending birthday celebration here at AgentGenius. Yesterday came and went without much hoo-ha, jubilee, or commemorative speeches. I’m okay with that as I spent the day thinking about something Ken Brand said in the comments. The Brand Challenge. Ken wrote the following: It’d be interesting to hear what you thoughts ...
Is it Wednesday already?
Time feels like it’s flying by. I’ve been working pretty hard lately and spending more time working than sleeping, eating, and relaxing combined. I’m not complaining, it’s just that when you get really wrapped up in what’s going on, you tend to forget what day it is. Tuesdays feel like Wednesdays. Thursdays feel like Fridays. Sundays feel like Mondays. I’m ...
The Comment and The Damage Done
Sticks and stones. I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments on websites lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing a bit more research and reading than I had this summer. They range from constructive negative disagreement to wildly overplayed personal attacks. I am not against negative things in life. I actually find them quite useful. I do not find ...
The true test of any relationship.
Having friends is good. This topic is talked about all the time – the value of any relationship. Whether it’s our clients, our agent friends, our vendors, or the people we “meet” online, there is a value to having them. If there’s no value, then perhaps they shouldn’t be our friends – real or perceived. I got to thinking about ...

5 Things About Blogging I Didn’t Know 359 Days Ago
It’s almost my anniversary. My first post on AgentGenius arrived on September 22, 2008. By my calendar (which I sure hope is the same as yours) that means I’m only six days away from celebrating my blogging birthday. As I’ve mentioned previously in posts, I had done what I would now consider blogging back in my band days, but we ...
