Texas Real Estate Blogs

The number one question I am always asked is “What do I blog about?” My response is always the same. Everything. The first rule: blog about what you know and what your buyers and sellers want to know. The second rule: Make it honest and make it come from you.If people want news, they can get that elsewhere. They want to search for a home, they can do that elsewhere. If they want honest, sincere, professional opinions, analysis, and tips, about real estate in your market, then they will find your blog if you write about your market.

But it you can’t think of any ideas, no worries, we have a list for Beginners. 104 Blog Topics, which is enough for 2 a week if you don’t repeat a topic, for an entire year. But really there are some than can be weekly and monthly features so that your readers can return to and get updates, such as Bad MLS photo of the week, or monthly Housing stats, or average home prices in your neighborhood. Pick out 4 topics that you can blog about monthly. That = 4 posts. Then pick out 1 that you can do weekly. Now you are up to 8 per month. Then add one unique post per week, and now you have 12 post per month. If you spend 30 minutes per post, that equals only 1.5 hours per week on prospecting via the Internet. So here is your list…good blogging.
