Improve Your Real Estate Marketing by Blogging on BiggerPockets

Many months ago, we launched our BiggerPockets.com blogging system as a way for real estate investors, professionals, and others in the business to share their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge. Of course, as a result of that participation, the goal was to help these bloggers get noticed.

BiggerPockets Blogs are fast and easy to set up, and now bring a new perk:

Top Bloggers and Blog Commenters are Highlighted to the Community

Top Bloggers of the Month

We felt that it was important to let everyone in the community know who those people were that contributed the most to the BiggerPockets blogging community, and have thus added the Top Participants this Month feature.

On the right side of the main blogs page, you'll see a box with the Top Participants this Month, which shows the five (5) most active bloggers and the five (5) most prolific commenters.

So What are the Perks for Being on the List?

If you're on the list (which looks back at the last 30 days, not the previous month), you'll get your name and personal avatar posted, which link back to your profile AND a link to your website will also appear in the list!

You can see that participation equals FREE PR for your profile and website link!

Josh,

This really is a nice feature. It lets people get some PR which provides incentive to be active and being active means more networking opportunities. It also helps me find the people who really are serious about this stuff. That saves me quite a bit of time by helping me focus my efforts.

Great job to you, sir.

@Harrson Absolutely . . . it does look like things are picking up. We decided to make the top 5 from the last 30 days instead of the previous month to give people the opportunity to get themselves on the list. This way, everyone has an equal chance of getting on the Top 5 for comments or posts, even if others have been blogging/commenting on the site for a longer time.

That is a great idea, people really need to get more involved with blogging!

It not only helps with branding, building business, and showing knowledge, but the Google Bots LOVE IT too!!! :)
