Well here we are with part II of the series, and I have some great ideas for you this week! I'm glad to see you've come back. Enough small talk, don't you think? Here are your next two fantastic tips to make you the best blogger in the real estate blogosphere!

3. Make Sure It's Pretty.
I know, this sounds somewhat superficial, but the fact of the matter is that if you have a less-than-attractive blog, people won't want to see it again. There are several rules to follow to ensure you have a beautiful blog, and I won't go into all the details right now (check back for that post later on), but you should at least know the key points. Keep your color scheme simple. Black text on a white background works best, since it has the most contrast and won't hurt the eyes of your readers. Also, be sure that the site is easy to navigate and that a reader won't get easily confused looking for something on your site. If the reader gets frustrated, they won't be a reader of yours for very long. The object is not to keep a person on your site for as long as possible, but for you to get as many people as possible to come back.

4. Don't Be A Bore.
I know you have a real estate blog and that you're trying to sell real estate. But you don't always have to write about real estate. Break it up a little sometimes! I've met a few Realtors in my time and I know they have interests other than the housing market. A few of you may even have a sense of humor! So take a break from spewing out market statistics and staging tips, and try something a little offbeat. You know that funny (but not offensive) email you got from your sister in Tucson last week? Why don't you share it with your readers? Fridays are best for these types of posts, since most people don't feel like working on a Friday. They'd rather goof off and have a laugh (you know it's true). Check out this post from Ines Garcia. I love this, probably because I live in Florida and find it to be disturbingly true. Or this post from Chris Griffith, about the mailboxes. It's a series, which makes it even more fun since the readers get a new mailbox every week.

We have come to the end again, so I will see you next week when we continue this series. Till then, you know the drill. Questions and comments are always appreciated. Have a phenomenal week!
