Montreal Real Estate Board: Blogging as a Marketing Tool

Another video posted on the Montreal Real Estate Board about blogging as a marketing tool. While the first video talked about social media and web 2.0 in general, this one tackles the do’s and don’ts of blogging.

Here is the scoop:

  1. Don’t expect any results for the first 6 to 9 months. [getting high traffic, readers, or potential clients]
  2. You have to be a reasonably good writer. [gulp!]
  3. Information you could offer as a blogger: local market, national trends, international real estate news and realtor gossip (Uh?) [I strongly suggest you stay away from this one unless, of course, your source of info is solid.]
  4. How often you should update: Preferably once or twice a day. Minimum three times a week. If you cannot do the minimum, don’t even bother.- [We're doing a little more than the minimum here, so we're not so bad.]
  5. Length of articles: you don’t have to write a novel on each entry, a few lines of words will suffice. [I'm taking the hint as well]

Opinions, rants and comments are welcome!

Happy blogging.

    great video. Real estate marketing is really the key to survive this economic downturn.. By the use of social media, it's easy to market and advertise online.. It is really effective especially these days…

    Real estate agents have different style and tactics to make as convince that the property they sell is a good deal.. They have also different ways to advertise and to market.. They use some popular social media like Facebook and Youtube to market and it is really effective..

    I always wondered if Facebook ads really work. Youtube I've used before. Good exposure.
