A Blog About Blogging

You’ve probably already heard about the value of blogging for your real estate website. But do you honestly know how much it can help?

The answer, believe it or not, is that blogging helps a ton. New and fresh content regularly posted always benefits the ranking power of your site. Relevant and interesting content gives you a sharp advantage over your competition. Of course, you need to understand the right way to blog to get the most out of these regular posts.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Blog

Follow these four steps to ensure you’re making the most out of your blogging efforts:

1. Make sure you blog regularly (at least 1-2 times a week).

Regular blogging is the key to maximizing your SEO value. Ranking power is improved with the regular posting of fresh and original content related to your business or brand. That means you need to keep new posts coming out at least once a week.

2. Always include a call-to-action at the end!

Remember, this is your blog for your business! It’s perfectly appropriate to give readers a call to action to get in touch with you. You’ll be amazed at how much additional traffic and warm leads you can create with even a modest CTA in your regular blog posts.

3. Don’t forget the pictures!

Pictures always help attract readers and encourage them to have a look at your content. Even better, you can add photo tags to enhance the SEO impact of each blog you post.

4. Keep your topics interesting and varied (but relevant to your specific real estate business).

One of the biggest challenges is coming up with interesting topics that directly relate to your real estate market. Here are a few great ideas for general topic areas:

• Useful Resources for Both Buyers & Sellers

Topic Examples: Common Scams to Watch Out For, Book Review for a Real Estate Book, Checklists for Buyers & Sellers, A Quick How-To for Sellers

• Tips for Maintenance, Repair & Remodeling

Topic Examples: Current Trends in Home Building, How to Enhance Your Curb Appeal with Landscaping, Understanding Homeowners Insurance, Great Tips for Pest Control & Elimination

• Posts Specific to Your Neighbourhood or Area

Topic Examples: Common Architecture in Your Neighbourhood, A History of Your Town, Opinion Blog on Recent News Stories, A Restaurant Eating Guide

• Mortgage & Loan Information

Topic Examples: Tips to Repair Credit, Current News for Mortgage Rates, Current Interest Rate Trends, Understanding Specific Loans

• Advice & Tips for Moving House
