Vicky –
You can create a blog here on BiggerPockets at http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs and link back to your website. Another great route is to add a Wordpress blog to your site. You can learn more at http://www.wordpress.com

Man, this post was the best that I have read all day! My website (really a blog) is one of the greatest marketing tools that I own for my real estate business. I provide lots of value for people in the real estate industry, thus creating tons of loyal readers. Plus I host it myself. Joshua is definitely on to something here.

I have to admit Branding is everything in business, but without any means of strategic marketing be it online or offline, your brand still would draw less customers. I've known this site brandmelive.com that helps and guides and individual or startup company on how to create your own unique brand that stands out from the rest. In less than a month, I assure you, you will start to experience great amount of success on your brand or business with the efforts you put in. Believe me, I'm one of the million that benefited from that site.

I definitely agree with you that self hosting is the way to go. The value of owning your own content is huge especially when you consider the appreciating value of an aged domain, aged content, and aged backlinks.

Joshua,

Blogging is the best kept secret if you understand the full potential it. I know people have been told to outsource their content or have other people write for them. Then you lose your brand identity and the ability to connect to your readers.

Your right not everyone is a writer but there are TONS of resources out there to improve your writing style for blogging. If all else fells. Podcast your thoughts and post it. No one does this! You can even do video. I have tried the shortcut to blogging and it doesn’t work. I have spent time working on building my content and I know over time my writing style will evolve into something palpable for my readers

I would always host it on another domain and even set up two that mirror each other – one on wordpress and one on blogger as its better for SEO in terms of links.
