More than 100 topics for real estate bloggers!

The act of ‘blogging for your business’ is one that comes naturally for some while for others the mere thought may instill a feeling of intense fear and anxiety! 

I know that from my experience speaking with business owners many feel that they should be blogging but have never quite gotten over the hump and actually started to do it.

The benefits of blogging are many and tangible ranging from potential enhancement of a firm’s position in the search engines to the exposure and ability to establish the owner as an expert in his or her field. As a matter of fact about a month ago we had posted an article that included the answer to the question ‘How many blog posts should I be writing each month?‘

The answer simply was, ‘As many as you need to answer the questions and solve the problems of your visitors who are interested in your services.‘

The purpose of this article today is to provide information that may help readers overcome what seems to be one of the constant barriers to beginning the blog process which are the topics that someone would write about.

The universe of potential ideas is so large that it can often be a challenge to narrow it down, so, in the spirit of efficiency, Inman News has provided a list of more than 100 topics to choose from.

I am adding one of my own so the actual total for the purposes of this article will be 102.
