Why I Blog.... NOT...Why You Should Blog!

Why I blog...Not... Why You Should Blog!

On Thursday April 21^stat 9:30 AM (that's tomorrow) I will be speaking at GBBR  Rookie Society Invites Margaret Rome ..Blogging ActiveRain Why & How 

                                             

                                                        
Here is what I am going to say.

I am here to tell you the advantages that Margaret Rome has gotten from blogging. I am NOT  here to say:  You should be blogging.

Uh uh.

Over the years since 2006 when I first discovered ActiveRain and blogging... I have written a book, been featured in the Washington Post, been chosen as  Realtor Magazine's Open House Master  (and I don't do open houses)!

I have been the  # 3 ActiveRain blogger in the state of Maryland, have made an enormous amount of friends, connected with other professionals like Bridget McGee and  Chip Frye .  gotten sellers and buyers contacting me on a weekly if not daily basis.

I have had a wonderful outlet to showcase my properties and give them maximum exposure.

I was at a home inspection when the buyer started talking about how he found this home. He described how I wrote about the house like telling a story, how I weaved the neighborhood and the local restaurants into the story.

His agent, (who came into the business at the same time) was not a rookie..but asked what is a blog?  I spent some time explaining and offered to sign her up ( like I do many others) and her comment..oh never mind, I don't have time for that!

You can go read books, take classes, seminars, webinars and learn about blogging. If you really do want to learn, go sign up     http://activerain.com/action/referrals/homerome  

I am not worried anymore that I will be overwhelmed. Over the years I have invited thousands of people..149 have accepted and there is not even a handful that are really blogging.

So I am not here to say you SHOULD blog. I am here to say if you have an interest in blogging I am here to help you!

Here is the link to sign up for ActiveRain. http://activerain.com/action/referrals/homerome  

Call me when you have some time and I will walk you through the process.
