Should Estate Agents Blog?
Estate agents are busy people right now. Keeping valuation appointments coming in, organising viewings, sales progression, and generally keeping on top of 100+ emails every day and those niggling staff issues.
And if all that were not enough, agents are also expected to be full-blown, expert marketers, as I highlighted in my recent blogpost.
Now we are told that we must have a blog. But why? Is it really an effective way of capturing clients? Of generating new leads and more business? In short, is it the best way to spend a precious portion of our already over-committed time each week to write a blog post for our company?
There are currently 152 million blogs on the internet, with a new blog being created by someone every half a second. Only half of these ever get to 6 blogposts – the rest simply get abandoned and forgotten, like that Amazon order still in your basket months later.
It’s not enough to create a great blog, it has to be not just well-written and researched, but inspirational and thought-provoking too. It would be easy to start with high hopes and enthusiastic fingers, but what’s to prevent yours from being relegated to the dead blogs’ graveyard a few months down the line?
On the one hand, we know that blogging can increase your website traffic, position you as an expert and build a valuable audience. But balance that out with the time you need to spend with new vendors, potential landlords, and actually adding something valuable to your business’ bottom line.
