More than 100 topics for real estate bloggers!

By | March 14, 2014


title insurance, New York,New York City,Long Island,Michael HaltmanThe act of ‘blogging for your business’ is one that comes naturally for some while for others the mere thought may instill a feeling of intense fear and anxiety! 

I know that from my experience speaking with business owners many feel that they should be blogging but have never quite gotten over the hump and actually started to do it.

The benefits of blogging are many and tangible ranging from potential enhancement of a firm’s position in the search engines to the exposure and ability to establish the owner as an expert in his or her field. As a matter of fact about a month ago we had posted an article that included the answer to the question ‘How many blog posts should I be writing each month?

The answer simply was, ‘As many as you need to answer the questions and solve the problems of your visitors who are interested in your services.

The purpose of this article today is to provide information that may help readers overcome what seems to be one of the constant barriers to beginning the blog process which are the topics that someone would write about.

The universe of potential ideas is so large that it can often be a challenge to narrow it down, so, in the spirit of efficiency, Inman News has provided a list of more than 100 topics to choose from.

I am adding one of my own so the actual total for the purposes of this article will be 102.

One thought on “More than 100 topics for real estate bloggers!

    Based on what I am seeing currently and what I have been saying for the past several months about this active market, I think this is going to be an outstanding year with prices rising nicely. Reason is there are still too many buyers and not enough sellers in Nassau County, NY, in particular in the Garden City area. This situation can only lead to higher prices as the buyers fight for fewer and fewer quality homes.

    I cannot say it enough – do NOT wait until Spring to buy or sell. Spring will bring a new set of buyers, but also all the Sellers who think Spring is the only time to sell. You will face much increased competition come March and who knows what the Buyer situation will be then.

    Call me if you need assistance in any Real Estate transaction or if you have any questions.

    I hope you are enjoying the holiday season with family.

    Lastly, visit my new Website – http://www.nassaucountynyhomes.com/ which is still evolving, and let me know what you think.
