Shocker, these are not all real estate blogs.
I’ve changed this list a lot in 2020. I am now just focusing “mostly” on the blogs I actually read. Some of the blogs I listed here in 2018 I really only use as a reference for articles that I am writing or to keep up with what “other” real estate bloggers are actually writing about. Even before the Corona Virus, I noticed that my reading has divided more into two categories. “Mindset and Motivation” and “Technical Updates”. More times than not the other real estate bloggers I was trying to follow were well behind me either in terms of technical knowledge or what they were willing to write about. It has also made a HUGE difference that the podcast I co-host with Jonathon the founder of Mail Right has been gaining in popularity and we’ve had a chance to interview some of the biggest names in real estate marketing technology and I have personally been given the chance to have one on one interviews with some of the rising stars of the real estate industry as a whole. Raises the bar and changes my interests in terms of reading “bloggers”.
#1. Neil Patel
I visit Neils blog five days of seven. He is one of if not THE top digital marketer in the world. He’s started countless digital marketing startups and is one of the most prolific creators of content relating to digital marketing that there is. I’m pretty sure he has ghostwriters do most of his stuff these days but every once in a while he posts fact-driven highly researched articles that knock my socks off. My basic and medium weight SEO knowledge came from reading Neil’s blog and even though I have never met nor spoken to him I consider him to be a mentor.
#2. Gates Notes
I hated Bill Gates in the ’80s. He was smug and his business practices where ruthless. I and many like me looked at him as the hitman of the software development world. If you had a good software product Bill would either replicate it, buy it or bury you in legalities. Microsoft took NO prisoners on their way to the top. Their products weren’t all that great either. Then Bill got sued. By the government. He spent 16 hours a day for three years trying to convince the Federal Government he wasn’t a monopoly. He and most people (myself included) attribute the case and the Governments tenacity to a single day of testimony where Bill Gates basically said “your too stupid to understand WHY I am not a monopoly but take my word for it I’m not” he then spent THREE YEARS paying the price for that attitude. When the case was over he stepped down as the CEO of Microsoft. He joined his wife and they started a foundation. He also started a blog. I find myself reading it more and more often. I read about 1/2 the books he recommends and my life is consistently better for it. I strongly feel Bill and his wife are doing some of the most important work in the entire world and his optimistic outlook on the fate of the planet and our species is truly a breath of fresh air. 
#3. Search Engine Journal
This is NOT a sexy blog. Google makes hundreds (no joke hundreds) of changes to the appearance and functionality of their search engine each month. They do the same for their paid advertising services. Search Engine Journal tracks and reports on the more meaningful of these changes. While not sexy I drop in on this blog 2-6 times a month and keep up to speed on algorithm changes, AdWords changes, and general disturbances in the force as it pertains to search marketing in general. It’s a great site if you’re curious about the technical side of search engines.
