Janson, I am not a trainer. I am a full time agent, I have a closing tomorrow and listings. I handle short sales, and a represent banks on REO listings as well as my regular clients. There is an industry problem, AORs are cheap and do not want to pay for working agents to come talk, because trainers will do it for free on the chance they can get people to sign up for their program. Most of those presentations are pretty poor. There is an exception to the rule and that there are a few very successful agents out there training - that is not the norm. Those that are selling and blogging successfully understand "Leverage" and probably have some good time management skills. My comment is more from a cynical point of view - there are no shortcuts to blogging. Trying to out smart Google is a no win situation, just be yourself, let your passion for the real estate business flow through you through your blog (thinking of Kevin Nealon in Happy Gilmore). My personal opinion is that if you are not similar to what Gladwell describes as a "Maven" in his book Tipping Point, then blogging is going to be a difficult project. Not impossible, but difficult and the opposite is very natural–easy for "Mavens".

Jason - with the clarification of what you are looking for, Bring the Blog may be a perfect fit. If you tweak the content they provide (as they suggest) it could be a great supplement/time saver. http://bringtheblog.com/index.php To answer your other question, while I do speak / train / consult occasionally, managing my real estate brokerage is *by far* my primary job / income. But I did a lot of blogging as a practicing agent.

Jason Yianakis - last I checked, SEO had to be local in nature (at least when applied to blogs), so the questions itself is a bit hard to swallow, unless you are planning on simply replacing the location words in any given post for wherever you practice. But wouldn't it be easier, in the grand scheme of things, to just write an occasional post about your actual market? Researching keywords people look for takes all of 2 minutes - i doubt you can't find the time to do that.

Ron Jesser Use your alt tags as if you were describing your picture to a blind man (Google) - a. Yes, all alt tags should be unique. b. remember to rename file if possible to match c. use subtitles/captions for some reason people almost always read them according to conversion-rate-experts.com d. drop your photo into a block of text related to what your photo is related to for extra relevance. e. don't worry about getting your keyword into the description, if you choose a photo relevant to the topic, a description will have the right keywords (see how that works wink wink)

oh and Ron Jesser for extra awesomeness, upload your photos to flickr.com. Add a photo Credit: http:// yoururl in your description. Then map them and share them with groups. BAM instant link building.

Ron Jesser - "Mona Lisa"

Inna Hardison - was intrigued by your guest article on SocialMediaToday where you said, "There are people who are good writers, photographers and online communicators. Find one of those close to you, if your place is a mom and pop type, or elsewhere if it’s not, and entrust that person with maintaining your blog and your social media presence." Hmm... that seems to somewhat contradict what you said here in this group yesterday when you said to my question: "Does that mean they shouldn't blog, or post new content, just because they didn't write it themselves?" - and you said, "yes, yes it does..." Please help me understand your real feelings about this, because I'm reading two very different philosophies here.

Fiverr.com can do it. Check them out.

Haven't used them but there is a website realestatecontentking.com where you can buy articles related to real estate.

Patrick Gallagher is correct. Often people look for 'cheap' content and get per-written articles. Even 'reworks' contain only a few slight changes. With Google's recent changes, many sites have seen issues by going with spun article (the act of letting a software program 'create' a new article by switching a few words). Thankfully quality over quantity matters to search engines today so it's really buyer beware.
