Hired Guns…. well sorta; Hired Bloggers
Ubertor is growing rapidly across the United States; especially in Seattle and is looking for Seattle based Client Service Gurus to join our team.
Anyhoo… before posting; we thought it would be wise to learn more about the Seattle job market so that we could attract Seattle’s best talent to join our team.
I decided to log on to CraigsList.com to check things out and discovered two items we thought you may find interesting:
1. $25.00 is the fee to post a Help Wanted advertisement on CraigsList Seattle. At the time of writing all Canadian cities are still free.
2. You can now Blog about Real Estate as a job! We all know blogging works! I see the traffic paterns, leads generated and referall links from over 5245 Real Estate Websites.
In fact, I think it works so well right now, simply because; so many agents aren’t doing it. Real Estate bloggers are the Purple Cows of the industry. Learn more about applying Seth Godin’s Purple Cow principles to Real Esate at our upcoming Vancouver RET (Real Estate Tech) Meetup.
We at Ubertor are extremely passionate about Real Estate and Technology. We believe the Real Estate industry is going through rapid change because of Technology. You can choose to learn about and benefit from this catalyst (join a RET Meetup in your Metro) or keep listening to the web provider whose software doesn’t even include blogging functionality.

It’s going to be really interesting once RE bloggers start bumping brokerage sites out of the top 10 for vanilla searches like “Real Estate “.

Our current provider can’t integrate a blog into our site…yet. But our stand alone blog site http://lasvegasnv.blogspot.com does draw in traffic. Blogs are great because its so easy to add info to your site and anyone can do it. Plus the rss feed builds additional exposure for your site as well.

[...] Online real estate company Redfin.com is doing it again…. this time in San Francisco. A few months ago we reported that Redfin.com had posted an ad on Craigslist.org looking to hire bloggers interested in writing about the Seattle real estate market. Well INMAN News out of San Francisco has reported today that Redfin has posted an ad in the San Francisco Craigslist.org looking for bloggers there. [...]
