Blog Tour USA Comes to Celebration Florida!
Last night there was a call by the guys from Sellsius° for Local Bloggers in the Orlando Florida area to meet up with Blog Tour USA -- and we gathered in Celebration Florida.
Shaun Mclane author of the very popular Posh'd site and myself joined Sellsius° Co-Founders Joe Ferrara and Rudy Bachraty in an exchange of ideas. We were able to take advantage of this gathering to get to know these two terrific professionals and each other. And now what took an abstract knowledge of someone created reality for each of us.
Shaun and I are competitors in the Orlando Market, yet what came from our meeting is that our writing will draw us the customers we are best suited working with. Our writing sets us apart. And that is what Blogging is meant to do for those of us that take up the challenge. It is our way to connect with a whole new group of people. It is there to enhance what we already do in our daily business.
Blog Tour USA coming to your town? Open up your schedule and rush right over to the site they are headed! Today they are heading to Miami for a few days before heading on out of the state on their way to Inman News Real Estate Connect in San Francisco!
On their BLOG TOUR USA these guys are on a mission to make connections with fellow Real Estate Bloggers. Taking the mystery out and dealing with the real people! They are also documenting their entire trip. Finding out what people know about BLOGGING and bringing attention to the entire process!
It is fun to meet these people that you get to know via the Internet. The real surprise is the differences that you find in their real and on-line persona's. They are different and the same. And as you start to talk, really talk you come to understand so much more.
Selling Real Estate is a contact sport. No matter what we do on the Internet, there is still a very human element to it. Knowing the human behind the BLOG is what makes for a strong network and the connection that will draw others to us.
I knew that our Orlando Avenue Blog was an important part of our plan, but last night I had a huge aha moment. Blogging is a very powerful tool. Sitting in the Tour Bus chatting until 2am talking about Real Estate, the Internet and networking I realized I am part of something a lot bigger than I ever expected. I am part of it!
Thank you Joe and Rudy for coming to Celebration, and introducing me to Shaun -- may the rest of your trip be as much fun as our time in Celebration was last night!
