There are numerous blog platforms available to create your blog ranging from free to a monthly hosting fee. Explore the options, functionality, features and decide which blog solution is best for you.
My recommendations …
WordPress.com is the top choice for a FREE blog (hosted on their servers) or you can download the software at www.Wordpress.org) and install it on your own server or through a web hosting service.
I use Typepad for my Real Estate Coach blog. I enjoy the overall platform and many of the features. Pricing starts at $4.95/month to $29.95 – each level adds additional storage, bandwidth and other features.
For Real Estate Professionals, there are a number of specialty blog platforms and solutions:
Free:
* Active Rain – I highly recommend considering a blog on the Active Rain Network for Real Estate Professionals. If you are just getting started with blogging, AR is easy to use and I have found the posts show up in the search engines frequently. See my previous posts about AR by clicking on the Active Rain Category in the right sidebar.
* Realty Blogging
* CREN Blog Community
* Real Town
For a Fee:
