Blogging About Luxury Homes At 13 Years Old | Bedford NY Real Estate

-

Cole Perkins pretty much gets it that he's not exactly your average 13-year-old. For one thing, he's totally uninterested in video games. And he attends "cyber school" -- a home-schooling arrangement that tethers him to a classroom teacher via computer.

Then there's that blogging thing. Where other kids might be blogging away about sports or television or popular music, that's just too mainstream.

Cole Perkins blogs, instead, about luxury real estate.

He recently became something of a real estate keyword after Curbed.com posted an item about Lavish-Property.com, his fledgling site that each day features a new-to-the-market estate in North America or Europe, with extensive photography and his commentary.

The site, which he began a couple of months ago, surged from about 15 page views a day to more than 2,000 in the period immediately after the Curbed post. Things have settled down a bit since then, he said, to 400 to 500 a day. The blog, he said, is an "extracurricular activity," a byproduct of tagging along with his parents four years ago when they were house hunting in Hershey, Pa.

"I just kind of got into houses when (my parents) were looking at houses every weekend," he said in an interview. "I found it kind of fun, looking at different styles of architecture."

For doctors trying to reach their patients online, using Google+ can provide surprising marketing benefits that help them be more “findable” on the web. Consider that 44 percent of all Internet users search online to find information about health professionals, and suddenly the importance for doctors of having a good online presence should be more clear. In this article I’ll discuss three reasons why I think that, if you participate in Google+, the newest social network, you can improve the chances your name will come up when prospective patients search for something you’ve written about.
