TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG (TO B OR NOT TO B

2009-08-03T11:49:00.000-07:00

As a real estate professional for several years, technology is quickly changing. It seems that if blogging is the way to go, should I also buy websites? I have two at present which is costly. Blogging is free but it takes so much time.

There are classes available on social networking. I hope to take one before long but I am already on Linked In to network with other professionals, Facebook to network with my family and friends, and Twitter to reach the community.

Or should I be going out into the big wide world to meet more people in person who might need my excellent services. I would think I could gather trust more rapidly one on one in person.

I will keep my web sites and also post blogs at this time until I learn that one works better than the other, i.e., blogging, web sites and person to person. I am open to suggestions from others who have tried these.
