So, I write on Active|Rain... generally 10 posts a week... I know, I want the points, but it also keeps me disciplined. I write 7 posts a week for LaneBailey.com... again, one post a day is WAY easier for me to do that any other number because if I slack off the momentum, I might just stay slacked off...
But, now I am writing for LilburnDwellings.com and GwinnettDwellings.com and DiamondDwellings.com. The good news is that I get to share content between the Dwellings' sites. Gwinnett Dwellings has content from all of the area hyper-local blogs, and Diamond Dwellings picks up the best from the regional sites.
But I still have to figure out a schedule... How many more posts can I squeak out a week. How many posts will I need to syndicate between A|R, LaneBailey.com and my Dwellings sites?
I don't know... But I do know that I don't have many problems coming up with post ideas. Everyplace I go I see things that can apply to real estate. I take my son to the park... there is a post. Neighborhood news... post. Consumers call me with a question... another post. There is NO shortage of subjects to blog about.
BTW, Lilburn Dwellings isn't actually live yet, but some of the posts are showing on Gwinnett, and we have set the domain up to point to Lilburn categorized posts on Gwinnett Dwellings. If you click the link, you might no even notice that you aren't actually there... but we'll get it live pretty soon.
And I had NO idea that I would be THIS involved in blogging a year ago.
And I love it.
great post Lane...sometimes we feel like we're running out of ideas but when you really stop and look around, there are hundreds of opportunities to post on daily things.
Hi Lane, isn't wild how much we get into once we start blogging! I post on Topix too and get great exposure from them.
Lane, don't burn out. It can get overwhelming, I rarely post 10 a week, I did last week due to wanting content on my communities, this week I was back to 3.
Lane - Sounds like a heavy load. Wasn't it you who said "Slow and Steady" wins the race?
Lane, sounds like you have a pretty heavy schedule in the blogging department. Has it been productive for you?
I am trying to post in several places too but I am having trouble keeping the schedule. I have decided to loosen up and get some of them out every other day instead. Its been working better.
Ok Lane....we ALL want to know! How do you do it? I've even thought about doing a post about doing a post.....Hmmm....
Jean - It is bringing me business... and I like it.
Chris & Maria - There certainly are.
Susie - Topix isn't working for me, but I am liking Outside.in.
Missy - I can keep this up for a little while. I know that I will slow down at some point, but not yet... I'm not ready.
Al - Yep, that's me... ;^ )
Michael - Yep. And it is fun.
Steve - Find your pace... then push it just a little... and keep up with your plan.
Thom - I did that... And while the TV is on with the evening shows, I am reading, writing and designing.
Lane, you know you are certifiable, right? LOL! Your schedule must be insane!
Lane,
You wear blogging very well! It suits you like a "sport"coat. ;-]
The fact is, some of these things you are doing may have a smaller ROI-however you measure that!-and you can always change your priorities.
Being nimble and able to adapt quickly-the buzzwords that can leave your head buzzing!
Blog 0n,

Marlene - Have you been talking with my wife? I think she did the certification test. And my schedule isn't so bad... I get to sleep on Tuesday nights.
Steve - Thank you. It is kind of fun. Although there are days when I don't have my posts lined up as I'd like. But then that is part of what makes it fun.
