A money making blog’s real estate story…

By Mert on Oct 25, 2007 in Blogging

A site came to my attention today. It belongs to Steven Truong. In the first look it looked to me as if it was . It was not necessarily the lay out or design that grabbed my attention. This site is about money making not real estate but it was his chapter by chapter story of his past real estate investment experiences into a nice introduction and 4 following chapters (1,2,3,4). The point I am trying to make is, when you have a long story to tell, seperate the times you are posting. Anticipation is one of the most powerful tools for blog follower creation. Keep it interesting, keep it short and they will continue on coming.

He even has a quick update post to tell people that he is coming back with more to tell on real estate investments. You do not necessarily have to be a realtor to have a following on real estate writings. But my real estate professional friends, the same applies to real estate professionals in a reverse role. You do not have to write about real estate to make your blog be related to your geographic area and to actually be interesting. Be real, be sincere, and may be a little funny and the rest will follow.

  • Why I do what i do

    I have found my truly calling at last. After reading the below, you will think really? Yes, I have... You know why? Because I can do every industry with SEO without ever getting bored of it. I have been involved with a lot of things in life, always a workaholic, never really satisfied until I met the search engines. I have done aluminum roofing for factories (teenage years), I have been a new home construction superintendent. I have worked as a bank manager. I have dealt with automation and security technology consulting. I was involved in startups for hotel wireless internet (when wireless was a big deal). I have an MBA in marketing. I have worked with so many industries it is not even funny. Why do I write about real estate SEO because I am a partner of a family Chicago real estate agency. Do not take me wrong, I am not a "Real Estate" SEO. I have worked with so many clients from steroids to universities, to apparel stores, to hospitals to hedge funds and lawyers. I love being an SEO. No one customer is ever the same. By the way, we are also passionate about Chicago Cerebral palsy issues
