Although hosting your own blog might need some technical knowledge, learning it might not be that hard. You just have to exert an effort to do so and in the end make it profitable.

I have to build a lot of content for it to be successful, but at least it's on my site, with my domain! I like blogging on the other sites to get people to my own blog, but just blogging for other peoples site's such as Activerain and blogger is a bad idea. Great post! :) I just started my own wordpress site, self hosted, and I am loving it. I have to build a lot of content for it to be successful, but at least it’s on my site, with my domain!

However I am currently a real estate webmasters client, however I have my wordpress website hosted through Eric Blackwell. All in all, wordpress is the way to go.

We both started on active rain and then upgraded to our own blog and then also blogging on others. It is def. a lot of work to keep up with.

I see many agents start off with a free blog only to switch down the road to a self hosted blog, why not do it right from the beginning. Great post! I have learned so much from REW and owe alot to the forums and the great advice from agents all over the country. I haven't been as active on there lately as I should be but am getting over there when I can.
