Real Estate and Beyond Blog

CREATE MONTHLY SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS TO BE KNOWN AS THE LOCAL EXPERT

The time to purchase real estate is now. Many people want to invest in real estate. However, they do not know who to call. Many of you know that I host a weekly radio show named "Real Estate and Beyond." I talk about investing in real estate and having the Real Estate and Beyond Network is behind you every step of the way from A to Z. People feel more comfortable when they have a team of professionals behind them.

I have created an impressive group of professionals ready to help investors make money in real estate. We cannot please everyone. One person purchased real estate from me with private money. He decided to go out of the Network. Well, the loan did not go through. I followed up with him and grabbed the ball. We can do great things with a team in place. 

The Real Estate and Beyond Network hosts monthly workshops for the public to attend learn more about real estate investing. We had about 20 people attend. I had everyone in the room signing up at the end of the workshop for a consultation to start investing in real estate. People know it is time to purchase so be the resource to assist them.

Finally, I would encourage everyone to formulate their Poewer Team to show people that you have people ready to assist at all stages. Feel free to visit my web site at www.deliateam.com hit Network button.

WHY BLOG? NOBODY WILL EVER READ MY BLOGS! BOY, I WAS WRONG

I have been reflecting on my blogging experience from the past ten months. It has been quite the experience. I never thought much of blogging to tell you the truth. I thought who would want to read my material. I really have nothing to share when it comes to my real estate experience. I am just doing what I do best. Well, I WAS WRONG about blogging. I loved writing when I was in graduate school because it gave me a chance to share the knowledge that I possess in writing. The same goes for blogging.

I have reached the milestone of having over 100 people who have subscribed to my blog. Wow, I have a 100 people who want to read my blog posts. So, I must ensure that I continue to give quality content at all times so I do not let down my readers. I devote 90 minutes per day to social media. Why? It is the number of minutes that I have personally decided to devote because it is vital to my game plan. I never intended to reach this milestone in my blogging career. However, I just keep blogging about the things I do and experience on a daily basis. I want to be the local expert when it comes to real estate investing. Blogging sets me apart from my competition. Furthermore, I host a popular two hour weekly real estate radio show. I make things happen.

I have everyone on my real estate team blog in order to stand out from the crowd. Some of them do not get it until they obtain their first lead from one of their blog posts. Then, the light bulb goes off in their head. Yes, it is hard work because it takes dedication and thinking. Too many people are not comfortable with being quiet for such a long time. Personally, I do all of my blogging before the kids get up in the morning.

I received an Email from a person who had trouble inserting pictures into her blogs. I sent her an Email back instructing her to hold down her control button. Voila, it worked in five minutes. It is nice to have a Network that wants everyone to succeed on a daily basis. I thoroughly enjoy blogging on a daily basis about my escapades in real estate. I will introduce video blogging this month to enhance my content.
