Richard Nacht and Paul Chaney at Realty Blogging<\/a> sent me a copy of their book, also called Realty Blogging<\/a>. I’m of two minds on the book. It is a very comprehensive introduction to real estate weblogging, but, at the same time, I just want to yell at you to sit down at your desk and work it out.<\/p>\nWell, that’s not very nice, is it? Plus which, you don’t work for me, so you don’t have to take grief from me. Here’s my bottom line: If you’re new to real estate weblogging or if you’re thinking about starting a real estate weblog, this book will teach you a lot, and it will help you avoid a lot of nasty pitfalls.<\/p>\n
And: The Amazon price on this book is low enough that you could buy a copy for your broker — for his birthday…
