All those viewers raise your blog’s status

All those viewers raise your blog’s status in the search engines, but they also increase bandwidth—which costs money—and leave you without prospects or leads. To combat this, simply add a few affiliate advertising links (i.e. Google Adsense), a few book recommendations (i.e. Amazon.com), and a few barter ads (i.e. local insurance company or lender).

When using advertisers on your real estate blog be selective and do so sparingly. The idea is to use advertisers to compliment your visitor’s experience, not cause them to think you aren’t making it as a real estate agent and therefore need to supplement your income.

Fifth, choose a blog schedule that works for you.

Blogs only succeed because they have fresh, new content on a regular basis. If you post sporadically, viewers will lose interest in you and your blog. If, however, you post regularly, viewers will return to learn more about what you have to say.

If you can’t commit to a post a day, consider posting two or three times a week and stick to regular days so your viewers know when to check back for updates. For instance, post on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

In the end, your real estate blog will only be as successful as the time you put into it.
