If you are like a lot of our clients that we build websites for, you know that a blog is important to the site, but you get hung up when it comes time to sit down and fill that blog with great content.

Obviously we could go on and on but a couple things to remember are to limit "selling" yourself and your listings. If readers feel like they are being sold to, the will turn off immediately. Keep your content educational, informative, or entertaining and you will get much better engagement. Write using some personality so readers get a feel for you and your local expertise, and blog about things that are important to you. People will catch on to that and connect with that content. Good luck and remember to follow us on Twitter or check out some of our other real estate blogs for more helpful real estate marketing tips.
