First and foremost, great blogs earn the trust of the readers. They see that you do not have a motive beyond helping home buyers and helping home sellers, helping them to end up with as much money in their pockets as possible. You want to show them how to avoid pitfalls and how to make the process and pleasant as possible. To develop blog followers you must answer the question, "What's in it for me?" --- what's in it for me the reader to take the time to read this blog and follow your blog regularly, even if I am not in the market today. The answer has to be --- by reading this blog you will get more when selling your house and you will sell it faster than you can with anybody else's advice. For the home buyer, by reading this blog you can save money, avoid heartache and surprises and learn so much more than you can following anybody else's advice.
You want your integrity and sincerity to show in each and every blog.
Find your voice. Tell it like you would tell it. Present your information from your heart with good stories that make your point and keep the reader engaged letting your personality shine through. Relate to them, an age group, an income group, speak to your best audience, the people you think in your area who are most likely to be buying and selling homes. Be real, authenticity today is a requirement.
You can't be just informational, you have to say it with a passion not just your knowledge comes through but your love of what you are doing, your excitement when you can help people save time, make money, save money and really enjoy the home buying or selling process. You are a MASTER at doing this, making people's home buying dreams come true and your blog will show this, if you write it with excitement, passion and the love for what you do.
Valuable information, really useful information that people can go out and apply tomorrow is what you want to offer. You know how to help people negotiate the price. You know how to help people get sellers to package closing costs or repairs and improvements into the purchase. You know how to help buyers establish their priorities when considering a house. You know how to help people stay within a budget. These are the things you need to write about for home buyers. Much of what you will have to say about having goals, setting limits, doing the proper preparation, doing the proper research, many of the things you will explain will be not just be lessons for home buying, they also will be lessons for life that people will appreciate.
Tell good stories and provide valuable, useful, money making and money saving information. Remember these are a series of communications, so you don't have to do too much in any one blog.
Do this and in time, readers will tell friends about your blog and your following will grow and you will remind them from time to time----If you have a home you want to sell in (your area where you specialize) or if you have a home you want to buy in (your area in your area where you are a leader) give me a call and let me make it a richly rewarding experience for you.
Do this and your blog will bring you business, just give it time to catch on.
