Bacn refers to electronic messages send by a service that you subscribe to and receive notifications from. Basically this is anything you have opted in for — RSS feeds, sales flyers, newsletters and much more.

Our number one tip on Bacn is keep your messages relevant to your readers.  Don’t risk them considering your Bacn Spam and opting out.

If not, read no further! If so, here are three reasons you should have a blog.

1. Increased traffic to your website due to the SEO (search engine optimization) created by blogging. Increased traffic will come due to higher search engine results as well as a trickle of referred, highly targeted traffic from the blogs. Your main website can then concentrate on turning visitors into homebuyers.

2. More of your main website’s pages will appear in search results because blog posts will link to secondary pages within your website.

3. Reputation Management – You can put out fires fast. Not only can you “drown out” negative vibes in the cybersphere, you can constructively address potential customers’ concerns, maybe even put a positive spin on potential liabilities by showing a “real” human face away from the corporate web site.

If you find this inspiring, contact us and let’s work together to put the Internet to work for you. We teach classes on social media for home builders as well as blogging for builders and more.
