One of the questions that always seems to come up when someone asks about blogging is “how much time does it take?“ The answer is as varied as the blogs that you see. There are some bloggers who spend hours a day writing posts and others who can put something together in just minutes. Most bloggers aren’t writing perfect journalistic articles. We are posting about a question we hear from buyer or sellers, a response to a news article, information about a neighborhood or something that we care about. One of the side benefits of a blog is the community that you meet on line and the new things you learn from other Realtors. Last week I had lunch with 3 other bloggers-one from DC, one from MD and another VA blogger. We had met on-line through our Active Rain blogs and found that we had a lot in common. We decided to meet in person and it was a great exchange of information and ideas. These are people I most likely would not have met if it hadn’t been for my participation in the blogging community. We could all go on about other business benefits as well but just stick your toes in the water. Don’t worry about perfect once you start you will find your voice and you can always e-mail those of us who have been at it for awhile to help answer your questions.

Cindy,
Thanks for this post. In a couple of years these questions will sound like “How long does a phone take?” or “Can a phone bring me business?”. Of course the real answers to these and the blogging questions are: it depends how long you talk and on what you say. Thanks for your input on blogging on and off line at the VAR conference this year.
