I would start with a free Blogger or Wordpress account now.

Hello Andrew, Most folks I have found in the blogging business, even those passing themselves off as blogger gurus, miss a very important concept these days and that is, quick to judgment is a fault not a quality denoting witt.

@Michael SwanBe careful,my friend.No matter how deep your pocket is,the Midwest will screw you.It may be way more painful on the monster bigger deals actually in my opinion.If you have tens of millions into an apartment deal gone wrong in Cleveland,it hurts in 10 million more ways.Going big does not eliminate risk.It amplifies it.And a deep pocket can be wiped out by a big deal gone  wrong as easily as a newbie could get wiped out on a smaller deal gone wrong.I’m with @Jay Hinrichs 💯 %I do now understand why my favorite BP blogger (wink wink) packed up from Lima OH to relocate his investing to Arizona.

Have many of you run into 'blogger trolls'? 

However as I signed up and did some research on their site and with google as they had some positive reviews by some bloggers .

Take note of the bloggers and posters that you are drawn to and then follow them (click their name to go to their profile).  

The trick is to make it sound like the blogger has expertise they are sharing.

Some large distribution channels (with some brainstorm ideas for them) are: BiggerPockets (official BP blogger, being an admin, posting, commenting, adding value, offering assistance, being insightful) Amazon.com (writing books and publishing them) iTunes (podcasting) YouTube (video blog, tips, interviews, , make real estate music videos...?!

————————————————————Beware: Financial bloggers scamming investors and lying about their net worth: google “Sam Dogen Amit”

I can't remember who said it but a BP blogger made a good point that if someone calls a postcard they are somewhat desperate/motivated.
