After two months of blogging, I've come to various conclusions about its benefits - the first two are pretty obvious, but they need to be stated, the third and fourth were more unexpected:
- The sheer analysis and study required for public writing has simply made me a better student of how real estate works and where the industry is headed.
- The discipline of writing makes concepts concrete, and for business, it clarifies strategies and provides depth to the marketing message.
- The
mission for business transparency extends to one self. The blogger's
character is naturally revealed and the blog serves as an introduction
to the blogger's society. I ruminate on this here .
- The realization of first three
points - blogging makes you smarter, more disciplined and provides a
type of social glue - transforms the new blogger into an evangelist for
others. And that's the stage I enter.
As I begin to promote blogging to my immediate real estate community, I encounter that common concern we all know - am I creative and disciplined enough to produce a readable post daily/frequently? Oh, and can I write well?
Jim Cronin at Real Estate Tomato mirrors my enthusiasm for blogging (umm, even more so) and addresses the new blogger with a series of articles that can be found under the Tomato's Blogging Advice category. And he's celebrating his 100th day of blogging today... it's a real statement when the Tomato stands so prominently in the landscape today. And that's what I tell new bloggers - it's a wide open opportunity now. Congrats, Jim.
His latest post today on clues me in to another handy web tool - Writely , a google-related online Word app - upon which I'm composing this post.
Thank you for such kind words. You are doing a fantastic job yourself.

Blogging is most definitly the way to go. I applaud any and all new bloggers. Yes, there is a lot of work going in, you do have to do your homework, but the amount of people that you can bring to your blog is worth your while.
