Just find your way to blog some innovative or creative writing.

However I like the option of selling an existing blog to benefit from the content and value that you have created. I would think that for those constantly looking to develop relationships, blogging is ideal and taking over an existing effort would be far easier to grow one from scratch.

Don’t laugh, you will use all those courses through your career. Also start talking to various brokers and let them know you are taking classes. Whether taking college courses along with taking real estate classes from various real estate companies or independent real estate schools be aware of the market you are in. Also talk to lenders so you know some of what is needed for your buyers. Please learn about Title & Escrow as well. Once you hang your license make sure you become a Buyers agent first not a Sellers agent. When you start with buyers you will be learning along with your buyers some of the issues that can come up in a transaction. If you start on the Sellers side you will be on the losing end of every transaction as most seasoned agents know who is new, knows the contingencies that will let them get out of the contract and you will be left standing holding the bag.

They try to blog too much on what is happening “now” and to sale houses “now” but never take the time to carve out a specific niche for themselves.
It’s kind of like a novelist. Grisham’s niche is legal process. Spark’s is romance while Clancy specializes in military history. Yes, they occasionally write outside of their niche (i.e. Grisham and his “Bleachers” book) but if you really sit down and examine their work, most of it is within a specific niche or genre.
Another reason bloggers quit is because some of them realize that they should be spending their energies elsewhere – like writing novels. 🙂

I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

My solution is to do multiple posts when I am feeling creative and saving a few for those times when I have nothing to write about. As long as these aren’t very time sensitive, this is a great way to keep a real estate blog going.

Sometimes it’s better to take the lessons you’ve learned and start a new, productive and more effective project. Blogging or otherwise…I agree it’s better to have done it and learned some lessons than to have never even tried.

I had not considered ending blogging.If you have an unsuccessful blog, then you should do something about that. But quitting blogging may not be the right answer.
