Joshua Jarvis - Georgia Realtor's Blog

After a lot of searching for short sale information I did not find ONE place for agents and servicers to go to get accurate up to date information.

Built on the NING platform, shortsalepros was created with the only goal of providing information for agents and servicers.

Come on and join us and contribute to the knowledgebase!

I'm teaching a class about blogging and the number one questions I get are:

1. Why Blog?
2. How Much business do I get from Blogging?

So I created a survey to try and answer those questions.  Click here for the survey.

Thanks in advance!

I interviewed several agents while at the Shift Book Tour and here's the video about what have they Shifted.

As many of you MVP'ers know, Trulia is about to open up this new blog thing to the general public. In fact, we got an e-mail from Katie about this very thing.

What happens next?

For starters look at the blogs? Just an FYI - they are time and date stamped. There are several of "you" that posted three or more blogs in under an hour. We can all probably raise our hand and say "YES, I OCCASIONALLY RE-BLOG." Um, but in my book, that's called a word.... "SPAM." Want another word? How about dumb.

What do I mean?

We all like to blog and we all have articles that should probably be on several locations. Blasting Trulia blogs with your content might get it up here, heck it might even get it read more in the beginning, but you may very well have shot yourself in the foot if you are going in this for the long haul.

If trulia blogs are going to be about content and it takes off with consumers, you're going to want to be consistent. Unless you devote time specifically to blog for Trulia, it's unlikely you are going to be able keep up (if you plan to blog for your site and other social sites like ActiveRain)... unless you already have content. Let's be real, we all have done this before... the ones on beta anyway, so we have content... and we will likely repost it ... all I'm saying is that it's better for YOU and ME if you do it methodically instead of one large dump.

Frankly, I'm turned off by it and I bet consumers would be too.
