Yesterday, I attended a blogging class at SEVRAR taught by Rob Gibbs. Rob did a great job answering a ton of questions and by providing a nice lay out of relevant information. The class was very well attended and gave a nice over view blogging. Some of the items of discussion were.
Blogging - What is it?
Blogging Platforms - Word Press, Blogger, TypePad, Active Rain and others.
Customization - Explaining a few of the endless ways to customize your blog.
Widgets - resources to find and add to your blog.
Content - Yep, content is king. Who are you speaking to?
Social Networking - Briefly touched on a couple of these.
How to use a blog in your business. The class was asked to think of and discuss ways to use blogs.
I really enjoyed Rob’s style of teaching. He is a nice guy with a real passion for blogging. On a break, I mentioned this blog and invited him to check out OUR group. :-)
I believe most of the people in the class were new to blogging and I could tell the amount of interest was sky high. Blogging is still something very “new” to many of us. Classes like this and groups like ours will certainly help many agents get a grasp on this effective way to reach an audience.
Nick,
I have heard about other Blog classes that SEVRAR has been taking on and there is no doubt as the word gets out Blogging will be a household name much like Google. I know my family is pretty educated now about, ‘What is a Blog’ and even have suggested subjects to blog about. They even poke fun, but hey keeps their cable on, right? Thanks so much for sharing and getting the word out about AZREBN and no doubt we will have a great turn of interest in no time!
So care to share some of your goodies?
