Software and Online Services Writer

My articles at RealEstate.About.com have instructed thousands in the use of all types of software and online services in their business.  With technology evolving at such a rapid rate, a technology writer needs to have the interest and resources to keep pace.  Otherwise, articles will be old or out of date before they ever hit print or the web.

More than 40 articles at this link will illustrate, not only my technology knowledge, but also my ability to articulate tech subjects for the average person.

Technology Hardware Writer

I’ve written a huge amount on technology hardware, particularly on the effective use of tech hardware in business.  I’m either reviewing or instructing on all types of hardware from GPS to Cell phones, computers, camcorders, printers, and headsets.

Review of the Flip Video Camcorder

In my job as the Real Estate Business Guide writer for the New York Times website at About.com, I write about all aspects of the real estate business.  Part of that is the use of technology hardware in an efficient way for marketing and business management.

Website Content Management and SEO

Netprofession.com commissions me to create content for their website.  Their business is in website design for professionals, including attorneys, doctors, realtors, etc.  This is a new account, but one article is already up on the site at this link.

This is a good account to illustrate my knowledge in website design and search engine optimization.  These are the experts, selling these services to others.  They carefully evaluated my qualifications and are using me for more content in the future.

Technology Articles for Realtors

Agent Direct News, a print publication with more than 100,000 Realtor subscribers, also has a subscription only online version of their articles.  I am a regular monthly contributor to this newspaper.  Articles are around 800 words and are intended to help Realtors to embrace new technology and use it to help them be more successful.

E-Marketing – Email or Blog

Realtor Magazine, with a circulation of more than 1.2 million Realtor readers, asked me to do an article for both print and online concerning the decision of whether to use email and newsletters or a blog for real estate marketing and ongoing client communication.

I have extensive experience doing both, and tried to present a balanced analysis, though I am very much in favor of the blogging method, with an email newsletter created from the blog’s posts.

Here’s the link to the story.

Technology and Real Estate – Intranets for Real Estate

With a circulation of more than 1.2 million readers, Realtor Magazine is quite careful in their editorial acceptance and writing policy. I am gratified to have been asked to contribute two articles to their Tech@Work feature column in the past. One is the use of an intranet in the management of a real estate brokerage.
