4% of agents blog?

Published 19 July 08 04:31 PM | dickbetts

On Wednesday of this week local Real Estate Trainer Chad Kumpe ask me to make a guest appearance at a local seminar he was conducting.  It worked out for me as I was leaving later in the day for 3 gigs in Indiana.  He shocked me with a fact, 4% of the 1.2 million agents blog!  So I looked at the most popular Real Estate blogging sites and realized he was right.

I know when I am called upon to give my "Today's Top Technology Trends"seminar I always ask how many are blogging and surprised with the show of hands.  So my questions is WHY?  Are all you bloggers keeping this powerful tool to yourself?  Do agents look at this as too much time and work?  Are they afraid of the unknown blogging world?

This week I started to collect business cards and send them an invitation, I can't do much more then that, or can I?

I personally have sent invitations to join Zolve to my fellow colleagues and have found no response.  I really dont know if they are just too busy to take the time to respond, or if they feel a bit intimidated to learn something new.  I've spoken to a few of them about it, and have tried to encourage them to join, but still no response.

What else can we do?
