Well, wordpress has been used globally to make different kind of blogs on different topics and niches. In-fact wordpress is the biggest blogging platform ever which owns more than 32 percent of the internet. These blogs have different criteria and different motives. Some are professional blogs which are owned by billion dollar firms and some blogs are as common as your and mine.
I was amazed when I heard that even news agencies like CNN use wordpress to maintain their online presence. Quire strange and interesting really. But today we will talk about Real Estate blogs. Yes, Real Estate blogs. As I said first that different industrialist from different fields want their online presence to get more customers and exposure.
For this they make their blogs and majority of them are created on WordPress. Show rooms, car-painter shops, toy shops, marts and even million dollar firms use WordPress.
So the point I am trying to establish is that WordPress is being used by majority of the industrialists and entrepreneurs to get more exposure on internet. Same is with Real Estate business.
If you are a smart real estate marketer then you must know the importance of internet in gaining more popularity and customers.
Popularity means that people know about you and your business and the key factor for the success of your business will be your popularity.
So if you don’t own a blog then create it right now to cash in the opportunity which your business can have on internet.

Once you have managed to attract a customer, you will want him to contact you. So the next thing you need to do is to give your customer a platform from where he can contact you.
I know we all cannot make forums, It is fine but what about making a form on your blog from where your customers can contact you and ask you anything which is related to your business.
It will be an ordinary form but it is a must need to make your customers happy. So just Install Gravity form plugin on your blog and do the rest yourself.

All you need to do is to install this plugin and then go to add a new post and then try to make your content under the supervision of WordPress SEO by Yoast.
Floating Social Bar
One of my favorite plugins when it comes to social sharing. Whether you own a real estate blog or a news broadcasting agency. Getting social will be your first priority to get more views and traffic.
And if you are an online retail store or a corporate which depends on selling products online then it is a must use. Why? well, to get more leads.
As I said first that popularity will be the key factor in earning more customers and revenue. So Install Floating Social Bar and then make further adjustments after which a social bar will appear just after your post’s title.
WordPress Backup to Dropbox
Once your business will start getting success it will also start getting more threats from your competitors. Surely, your competitors will want to hack your blog when you will start getting more leads and sales. So it would be a better idea to first make some security adjustments.
First you need to make sure that you have regular backups of your blog for this you can use a simple plugin which is called WordPress Backup to Dropbox. This plugin can automatically generate backups of your blog at regular basis and will save it on their database.
