Here are some easy guidelines to make blogging a more beneficial and easy process for your business. Provided by Susan, the Social Media guru, on my design team. Blog 101 Tips Keep it short, sweet, and relevant. Know your niche.  If you market is luxury…then a blog about 1st time home purchasing is not for your audience. Your audience is homeowner, renters, relocation peeps….not other realtors The blog is ‘your voice’ for your brand Invite people that you work with to post a blog (Lenders, Appraisers, Landscape, etc.) Add a great photo to your blog, something that will catch your eye when it shows up in the FB homepage feed. If you attend a ‘fun’ professional even, share pictures and a short recap of the evening, then email that out to the event planner. Please feel free to email, tweet, FB me questions.  I balance my life between design, wife/mom, and yoga teacher, I will get back with you!
