Welcome to Smuggle Me

This is my first in a series of posts about groups, organizations and people that I think should start blogging today.

Today’s culprit is all of those real estate agents out there. Living in Las Vegas it seems like every other person I meet is a real estate agent. Therefore, you have got to find ways to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Blogging is a great way to do that. As a potential buyer, I’m most interested in trying to get a feel for the knowledge and skill of my real estate agent. Plus, I want to have an idea if this is someone who will give it to me straight. A blog is the perfect avenue to demonstrate who you are and your skill as a real estate agent. Many of you may find out that blogging will also allow you to further enhance your knowledge of the market.

Besides the fact that you are going to look like a real estate super hero because you have a blog about it, blogging also is completely indexed by search engines. Blogs are infinitely better at getting added to search engines than a normal website. Why? First, because a blog has a bunch of WORDS. Words is what search engines like to see and use as the basis for their searches. Pages with lots of good keywords do well on search engines and therefore search engines Love blogs. Plus, there are now tons of search engines just for blogs. They are becoming more and more popular every day. This will become a huge internet resource in the future.

Also, if you write interesting things to your blog then you will create a readership that will want to purchase from you when they are ready to buy.

I know, many of you are thinking that this idea is great, but you don’t have the technical skill to do it. Let me give you a test to see if you can blog. There is a link that says comments on this post. Click it and type in your name, email and a comment. If you are able to submit a comment like that to this blog then you can get started blogging. It doesn’t take technical skill to blog, but it does take the skill of browsing a web page. That’s all!

If you want a free community where you can blog about real estate with other real estate blogging then check out Active Rain Real Estate Network.

Ok, stop reading my blog and start writing your own. Do come back and tell me about your new blog. I’ll be happy to be the first one to come and comment on it.
