Blogging for Business Part 2

Now you know why you must blog and all of the benefits.  It's time to go ahead and set up your blog.  By the time you leave this class you will be on your way to success in the blogosphere.  

In this class, we encourage you to bring your laptop so we can show you how to set up a FREE Blogger blog.  Many agents start blogging without the correct settings.  Or, they have a blog site without critical features such as an Opt-in box , or they have not properly sized and loaded images and videos.  In this class we also teach you about all of these details and we will introduce important tools like Irfanview for images, Audacity (for podcast) and other freeware that will make your blogging journey smoother and more successful.
