@Diane Hola! I'll give you the heads up when ready..... Happy Friday. Rudy Social Media Guru at Trulia

@ T - forgot to thank you for a thought provoking post. Thanks :) @Laurie - Having a "home base" is very important as you mention. But, there's lot's of other opportunities to meet home buyers and sellers on national sites. @Susie - Good to see you on Trulia Voices. National real estate sites like Trulia have lots to offer agents and consumers. I'll send you an email. Would love to talk to you. @Lou - Glad to see you on Trulia Voices too! You make some really good points. Since your in my neck of the "woods", I'd love to personally meet up with you soon. @Joanie - Happy to see you on Trulia Voices. Your strategy makes sense. @John - Good job. Next time I'm in Fort Lauderdale, I would love to meet stop by and meet you. Until then, see you on Voices and your blog :) @Wayne - I agree. Hopefully, you'll have some more time to add more details to your Trulia profile. Stay well. @Derec - Happy to see your blog getting some traffic from your Trulia Blog. See you on Voices :) @Brett - "It's important to make it easy for customers to find your website and have engaging content that interests them." I couldn't agree more. Leaving your digital footprint on some of the most popular national sites is a great way to get more exposure to your site. I'd love to meet with you too since your in New York. I'll send you an email.... Just like the Weather, Real Estate is Local: http://www.truliablog.com/2008/09/12/just-like-the-weather-real-estate-is-local/ Rudy Social Media Guru at Trulia

Some agents have the time to dedicate to building and maintaining a primary blog/ website to build their content on while others may not. For bloggers who have established blogs we will be offering them the ability to syndicate their blog content onto Trulia. It's a great option for those who want to get more exposure but may not have the time to do it. There is plenty of opportunity out there for proactive agents. By participating on sites such as Trulia, and utilizing Trulia Voices, our Q&A and Blog community, you are giving yourself new opportunities to meet potential home buyers and home sellers - besides they are already here. We only have so much time dedicate to our blogging, marketing and social media efforts. So it makes sense to try different things. Then, by learning from your own personal first hand experience, you can make a better informed decision about what works and what does not work for you. Some people may find success where others have not. I would add that by contributing and participating on multiple sites, you are growing your brand while potentially expanding your sphere of influence. Again, success will vary by person and by their engagement. Rudy Social Media Guru at Trulia http://www.trulia.com/voices/
