Arizona Mortgage Guru » Real Estate Blogging Seminar Re-cap

Yesterday’s Real Estate Blogging Seminar held at SEVRAR and sponsored by Grand Canyon Title Company was very well attended. There is certainly a lot of interest out there on blogging and how to use social media tools for business. I want to thank everyone for attending and Adam Saunders at Grand Canyon for all his work in organizing this event.

As I promised I have posted my Blogging Seminar PowerPoint. Like I said yesterday, this is only a reflection of my personal experience with blogging. It is by no means a blueprint.

It was good to see some veteran bloggers in attendance. I don’t know if they learned anything but Jay Thompson (The Phoenix Real Estate Guy), Calie Waterhouse (Decorated to Sell) and Doreen McPherson stayed for the whole thing. I must add none of them threw any rotten tomatoes. What a relief that was for me! Phew.

There was also another seminar across town yesterday. Steven Groves, Greg Gotcher and Dave Barnhart presented relevant blogging materials and it’s a bummer that we had a clash! I would have enjoyed attending. Maye they’ll share their experience on their blog soon.

Update: Read Calie Waterhouse’s take on the seminar.

Well, this is my first blog comment so Shailesh, you got at least one of us that attended yesterdays seminar to get online and begin blogging. The seminar was very informative and I appreciated the way you patiently answered questions. I also appreciated Jay Thompson’s participation, you both have awesome blog sites!

Im currently in the beginning stages of deciding on how to begin my own blog site.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Shailesh,

Thanks for the comment - the central Phoenix event was somewhat less successful than we had hoped, but we’re on track to make the next better already!

The next event will have much more to it and everyone, including yourself of courtse, are invited to attend. Here is the link for registration -

Shailesh,

Congrats on your success with the blogging seminar! Sorry I couldn’t be there. But I know it was great because the blogosphere told me so …proof positive of how quickly and effectively you can get your message out with a blog!

Adam,

You do realize that you’re the one to thank here! You did a great job pulling this one together.

Jeff,

I’m glad you drew some inspiration. If you have any questions or thoughts let me know. I look forward to reading your blog.

Steve,

It is summer and sometimes it just happens that everyone is busy with something else. We had a few last minute cancellations.

Shannon,

Thanks for stopping by - I agree, a blog is a very powerful tool. It’s amazing how fast things travel these days!

Thanks everyone for stopping by!
Shailesh

I’ve been swamped since the seminar and haven’t posted diddly about it. Shame on me. But you did a great job Shailesh, your enthusiasm for blogging and your willingness to share are what helps make it great.
