By way of ProBlogger<\/a>, this image is from 901am<\/a>. It nicely illustrates the idea I called The Third Career when the BloodhoundBloggers were interviewed by Dustin Luther of Rain City Guide:<\/a><\/p>\n Q: How does blogging fit into the overall marketing of your business?<\/p>\n A: [….] Greg Swann: Practically speaking, it doesn’t, but I don’t think that way. What we’re really up to is an idea I call The Third Career. Most of us came to real estate from something else, and, as we are wise, we know this is not our last stop in the world of work. My immediate goal for BloodhoundBlog is to make it the best-read, most-rewarding real estate weblog in the RE.net. Further out, I want for our contributors to be so well known that they can pursue other opportunities: Public speaking, freelance writing, books, seminars, television shows, etc. I don’t know that we will attain this, necessarily, but the goal itself is definitely attainable: Witness Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n None of this is of immediate importance. Right now, we are dancing as fast as we can to do the jobs we get paid to do — even as we build this weblog, becoming better and more widely known with each passing day. Witness: BloodhoundBlog contributor Brian Brady will be speaking at Inman Connect<\/a>. That’s two of us — so far. The chart illustrates the opportunities we can hope to exploit as<\/i> we become better and more widely known.<\/p>\n Muestrame el dinero?<\/i> It can wait. I’ve mentioned that I’m interested in repurposing the Weblogging 101<\/a> content as an ebook<\/a>. I expect that, once I’ve done it, that will turn into speaking opportunities. Whether or not those are worth any money is less interesting to me than the opportunities themselves. If I can do a job often enough to get good at it, I can find a way to make it pay.<\/p>\n Here’s another, similar example: Steve Leung, whom I have praised in the past<\/a>, has released a free 69-page “Silicon Valley Home Buyers Book”<\/a>. The book is in PDF form, hot-linked throughout, so it’s actually more practical as a net.wired document, rather Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By way of ProBlogger, this image is from 901am.
