In a move that is likely to spread the blogging virus to all reaches of the real estate community 
the developers of the e-PRO online certification course for REALTORS® announced that they have added a Blogging Module to the e-PRO course. The blogging exercise is designed to offers students " an opportunity to experience the ease in publishing on the web, as well as helping you in collecting material you may want to use on whatever web presence you integrate into your marketing".
The intro tells student, " Remember, if you can compose and send informative e-mail, then you can blog." Here's a $30 discount coupon for the course.
Fortunately for those of us who have completed the e-PRO course pre-blogging module, we have BlogTalk. The blog is a powerful tool and can be used in so many ways. It is certainly a something for everybody kind of thing, and should definitely be incorporated into all aspects of the real estate universe.

ePro is smart to offer this. I'm a blog administrator, and the Realtors I've worked with are often so overwhelmed by the idea of writing something, let alone posting it to a Web site for others to read, that they miss out on a golden opportunity to get their name in front of more people.

Like your blog :) I am also an e-pro from Minnesota. I looked over the new e-pro module. Can I say that I like typepad better than realtown on your blog? The internet crusade product has some serious limitations. Commenters can not leave links to their own blogs unless it is a realtown blog.

I had never thought about adding a blog to my site until recently but I have decided that I definitely will. I think it will be a great tool to empower sellers and buyers by giving them valuable information while also giving them a reason to come back to my site. The question is, should I put the blog right on my normal real estate site or should it be its own separate site?
