Coming up with new and exciting blog posts can prove a challenge at times. Some days, you may find your creative juices flowing and have no problem thinking of topics to interest your readers. At other times, however, you may feel hopelessly blocked and unable to come up with a single topic that won’t bore your readers–and you. For times like these, here are some ideas to see you through:
For Homeowners
You can always interest homeowners with blog posts that help them save money, learn how to do something new, or develop a better understanding of a confusing topic. For example, you might write a post on a home improvement topic. Do-it-yourself posts help homeowners improve their properties on their own or figure out that it’s time to call in a professional. Likewise, posts that help homeowners save money on energy or choose the right contractor can prove beneficial. Other ideas include how-to’s for organizing community events and keeping Internet connections secure, lists of local charities in need of volunteers and home-safety tips.
For Buyers
Buyers aren’t just looking for a home. They’re also looking for a community and a lifestyle. You can help by creating blog posts that describe communities in your market and provide insight into not only various types of properties and average home costs, but also the local flavor and recreational opportunities. Many buyers also have an appreciation for comparisons of different communities. Instead of just writing about one community, set up a post that lists communities side by side, making it easier for buyers to note the differences in cost of living, home prices, utilities and other items of interest. Additionally, posts that cover the financial concerns common to buyers can go over well. For instance, you might offer pointers for securing the best home loan, evaluating affordability, finding furniture bargains and having fun on a budget.
For Sellers
Sellers often appreciate blog posts that offer tips for preparing their homes for sale, setting a sale price and negotiating with buyers. Ideas for remodeling projects that increase home values, discussions of curb appeal and analysis of the legal concerns involved in selling a home can interest sellers. Blog posts that help homeowners decide whether to sell or rent out their properties often prove helpful as well. Other post ideas include discussions of home inspections, appraisals, sellers disclosures, the home-selling process and close of escrow. Don’t forget to write a post or two about moving. Sellers are always looking for ways to make moving efficient and affordable.
