Teresa Boardman is one of my favorite real estate bloggers. Her St. Paul Real Estate Blog is a shining example of what a successful blog can be. With that said, I thought you’d like to hear her goals. My business plan has been done since November. I do a formal plan each year, I figure out how much money I want to make, then based on my average gross commission I figure out how many homes I need to sell, subtracting my expenses to arrive at my net income. It is a simple process for me at this point because I know my numbers and my conversion rates so I can figure out how many appointments I need each week to get X amount of sales each month. The rest of the plan is really about the activities or tasks I must complete to get the appointments. Business planning and goals are an essential for all businesses big and small.

She also is a giving person willing to help a "baby" blogger grow up to be more competitve in the blogosphere with her! Your analysis of her blog is why it's generating business. I just wish you hadn't told ALL of her secrets to everyone else! I agree that Teresa, my friend and competitor, definitely has a well thought out blog.
