Marianna recently had a great post on one way she maintains her Localism blog.
Another simple idea is simply writing about your local geography. You don't have to "come up" with a post topic they're laying all around you.
These posts can be very successful. If you've ever looked at The New York City Neighborhood blog, Curbed, you'll notice that the entire blog is littered with buildings. What else does a real estate blog need to be about?
This type of post will benefit you in a number of ways.
- You'll be putting out local content that is bound to attract visitors looking for real estate information in your territory.
- You'll be working toward establishing yourself as a local expert.
- You'll be becoming a local expert because you'll be expanding your knowledge of your territory, and In my opinion it doesn't matter what part of this industry you occupy, local knowledge always expands your career.
Can you show your town in these posts?
UPDATE: I've moved this post over to the DINGS! Blog Topic on The ActiveRain Blog.
Caleb... good point. Even though I do mortgages, I went out and took some shots around town when we had snow a few days ago... or was that last Thursday... lol I am going to give it a try... thanks for the tips.
PS..... unique picture.... creative...
Caleb,
Thanks for more ideas to explore! We do alot of posting to our localism but we're sometimes stumped with the best way to utilize what we already know. This is helpful info.
