<p>After going through three developers I finally found a solution that delivers a quick, professional and <em><strong>free real estate blog</strong></em> &#8211; (see below).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the perfect solution to the number one problem faced by most real estate professionals &#8211; lack of technical expertise.</p>
<p>So if you want a real estate blog, with a professional theme, social media icons and SEO ready with all the right plug-ins, you can get one at <a title="Free Real Estate Blog" href="http://freerealtyblog.com">Free Realty Blog</a>.</p>
<p>Note that hosting is not included but is available for as little as $5 a month.</p>
<p>Plus you also have the option of adding a Blog and Social Media Graphics package. I&#8217;m not sure if the package will be available when you order your blog but grab it if it is still under a hundred dollars.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s <a title="Free Real Estate Blog" href="http://freerealtyblog.com">the link </a>again.</p>

<p>The art is your content, how you phrase your sentences and pen your words.</p>
<p>The science is the systematic checklist you use to make sure your blog is fully optimized for the search engines so it can be seen by your real estate customers.</p>
<p>I going to leave the wordsmithing (I think I just inventicated this word) and poetic language about your recently rehabbed 3 bed 2 bath to you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m only going to help you with the technical stuff so here&#8217;s the <strong>&#8220;10 Step Scientific Outline and Checklist for Publishing your First Blog Post&#8221;</strong>:<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Select a topic for your post.      Make sure the topic is relevant, interesting and valuable to your target      audience.</li>
<li>Select the keywords and      category for your post. Your keywords are critical as the search engines      will index your post based on keywords and keyword relevance. It&#8217;s very      important that you use your keywords in the page name, post name, post      header and first few sentences of your post.</li>
<li>Write each page name to      include your keywords and include the same words that will be in the      heading of the post. You have the ability to name each page that you      publish so make sure you include the keyword and title in the page name.</li>
<li>Write your heading to include      the name of the page and include your keywords.</li>
<li>Write your sub-heading or tag      line to reinforce the heading.</li>
<li>Write a description of the      post. This is a hidden back end feature that you can use to basically      stuff keywords into the post. Your reader won&#8217;t see the description but it      will be indexed by the search engines.</li>
<li>Write meta tags that include      your keywords. Meta tags are a way to      strongly identify the keywords associated with a post. You&#8217;re basically      tagging certain words and asking the search engines to pay attention to      those words.</li>
<li>Write a category for the      post. The search engines like  nice clearly defined structures. By      categorizing the post under a niche group, you&#8217;re highlighting what you      want the search engines to notice and index.</li>
<li>Write your first line to      include your heading and create links to your site. An example of this      would be a post with the header &#8220;Three Ways to use Creative Finance      to Purchase Real Estate&#8221;. Your primary key word is creative finance      because this is a post about using creative finance. The first sentence of      your post should read something like &#8221; I&#8217;m a big fan of using <strong>creative      finance</strong> to purchase real estate&#8221;. You&#8217;ve basically      regurgitated the post&#8217;s header in the first line. You also bolded the      words &#8220;creative finance&#8221; and included a link from the words to      the creative finance section of your blog. The search engines will notice      the keywords, bold letters and hyperlink.</li>
<li>Include a footer with your      details as the author and a link to your website. This way, if someone      re-publishes your post you&#8217;ll have a back link to your site. I also like      to publish my name as the author right under the heading as I&#8217;ve noticed a      trend whereby a number of blog sites use an auto RSS feature to lift      hundreds of blogs and aggregate them on a single site. They often cut off      the author acknowledgment at the end of the article.</li>
