101 topic ideas for your real estate blog I have been a real estate blogger for almost eight years. But how many months or years I have been at it is irrelevant.

My goal is to attract readers who are looking for someone just like me to help them buy or sell real estate in a specific geographic area — and yes, there are consumers looking for someone exactly like me. The whole point of having the blog is to demonstrate to prospective clients that I am knowledgeable, and to build trust — which isn’t easy over the Internet. When the market is slow, I get less traffic. There is no shortcut or magic system for getting results from a blog.
