I get asked all the time… what is the best way to market a real estate business online? My answer is always the same: Blogs

The Christian Real Estate Network is proud to announce a new free blogging platform! Thinking about setting up your own blog? Now is your opportunity. Just visit http://blogs.hismove.com to learn more.

Already have your own blog? Add it to our Blog Directory!

Here are 5 reasons to start Blogging Today:

  1. Search engines love blogs, and don’t like traditional websites. That’s because there is fresh content on blogs, and traditional websites just sit around and grow stale. Blogs rank better in the search engines, and if done right, they can rank extremely well for local real estate searches with minimal effort. They are also link magnets, and will help to grow your online presence very quickly.
  2. People love fresh content. Be honest with yourself. Do you really think anyone is going to read your basic website with the “about me” page. The answer is no. But what if you had up-to-date market information and pictures about a community someone was interested in? Suddenly, your website is something to stick around for and maybe even subscribe to.
  3. You have no time to lose! The industry is getting flooded with new bloggers. Have you been to activerain.com yet? It is a very basic blog platform for real estate agents. They have over 30,000 subscribers and their website isn’t even 1 year old!
  4. Consumers are looking online for real estate. Some stats say that over 90% of people look online to do their own real estate research before contacting an agent. You could be that agent or loan officer that gets found when people search.
  5. You have a free opportunity to start your own blog with our new blogging platform. Take advantage of it! You will always have free tech support when you need it.

    Hi, Justin … this site is cool … i have one minor issue abt. it though … i’m in real estate and a Christian, and like some other Christians i don’t practice the sign of the cross or even not allowed to use that symbol. May i suggest that you remove that symbol because it could be offensive to other browsers and won’t explore your site any further. It may help increase the volume of traffic. I myself would refer my christian and realtor friends here to participate in blogging as long as you make the site universal and not limiting (assuming unintentionally) the Christian viewers. Thank you for taking this into consideration. Good luck!
