You’ve probably seen a list or two like this.

Or have you?

When it comes to finding ways to grow your business, the solution is often through knowledge. And most blogs (and round up posts of the best blogs) just promote the same ‘top brands’ that don’t get deep and dirty into your business with you.

The problem with that is one of the best ways to get better at selling real estate is through real estate blogs.

So today, I’m going to point out some of the top ones on the web.

Whether you’re looking to prospect FSBO’s better…

….or figure out Facebook. There is something new and helpful here for you.

If you’re looking for a hard working real estate website that can help you create high quality blog content, be sure to consider LeadSites.

How To Read A Real Estate Blog:

Here’s the thing: 

All of these blogs can help you grow your business…or learn something.

But:

:::: LEARNING IS JUST THE FIRST STEP ::::

You need to put what you learn into practice.

What I often find useful is to set one goal for your business, and then fill out a marketing plan with 3 tactics to hit that goal.

Action is what will make the difference between success and stagnation. And reading the blog does not count as action.

100% finishing the marketing task is what counts as action. Here are some examples

—->Want to grow your SEO? Write ten 2,000 word blog posts following this formula in 2 months.

—->Want to get more leads from cold calling? Start practicing your scripts and calling for 5 hours a day.

—->Want to build up your website traffic? Commit to posting to social media and blogging.

The idea is that you have to take massive action. And the problem is as entrepreneurs we often underestimate the action required to achieve the success we want.

Let’s say you want to hit 50 units sold this year. And think it’ll take [X] hours. I often find that real estate agents need to multiply what they think they need to do by 3 times. For example if you think you need to write 1 blog to achieve your goal, write 3 instead.

What do you think?
