Blog articles are great conversation starters. Real estate agents should leverage them on social media to increase engagement and drive traffic to your website. There are many benefits for agents to write blog articles but the main objection that I hear is, they don’t have time to write one. That’s a valid objection, but what if I told you there is a new, better way to write blog articles and it only takes 30 seconds?
In this article, I will define micro-blogging and give examples of topics that you can post about to help you get started.
What is Micro-Blogging?
Like traditional blogging, micro-blogging allows real estate agents to share content such as an image, a video link, or a link to your website – but smaller and usually posted on Twitter. Instead of writing a multiple paragraph article, agents can simply share a micro-post that’s as long as the Twitter character limit – 280 characters. Micro-blogging reduces the amount of time invested into producing a blog article and it can receive just as much engagement as a traditional blog – sometimes more. Micro-blogging topics can range from announcing your milestones, real estate advice, and local market updates.
