Join me as we interview Carmen Multhauf from GenerationalHousing.com to gain valuable insights into how the personalities, attitudes and preferences of home buyers, and the consuming public in general, come to be defined by their generational identification. Specific age groups have influences that affect their needs and wants, and the way they approach major life decisions. In addition, each generation is affected differently by changes in financing, retirement systems, estate planning, tax laws, and housing design and location. And there is little doubt that the current economic turmoil is having different effects on each generation.

The Power of a Blog in your Business

I believe your blog should be the hub of your online marketing. And you need to write about what is important to you, making it relevant to your readers. And you need to block consistently.

I am a blackberry fan, thinking about the new Google phone, maybe the iphone, but still hooked on the blackberry. And I have written a couple of posts on that.

Last month I received a call from a reporter for the Blackberry Connection Magazine. There were doing an article on cool apps for the blackberry, did a Google Search and found my blog posts. So they thought they would interview me for the article!

Little ole me? herein lies the power of a Blog. Here is my interview in Blackberry Connection Magazine.

Triple Play Video Blogging – I just love it

I have been practicing videoblogging with my own little camera and had a chance to do some video with a professional camera crew at TriplePlay. TriplePlay is the convention for New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania (CT,  DE attend also) held every year in Atlantic City. Usually 10,000 REALTORS there. National speakers from all over come to speak (including me Amy Chorew!) and you can get all your education done for a very low fee ($90). Here is a link to one video that I posted at ActiveRain .  http://www.wellcomemat.com/video/CA556723AC

Video two is here for you to see as well.

Definitely a learning curve with the video but I do believe that video has arrived in the real estate industry. We just have to figure out how to use it effectively to market ourselves and our properties. More to come on that.

How to write an Effective Blog
