Denver Real Estate - Why I Write About Local Events and Denver Businesses
Sep 23rd, 2007 by Steve Scheer
I received a wide variety of inquiries this week, both by phone and email - regarding why I sometimes blog about local events and businesses outside of Denver Real Estate and would I be willing to write about local businesses for compensation. The answer is really in 2 parts.
First, when someone is going to relocate to Denver, they generally are coming in blind. For the most part, they are starting from scratch, and I have always received a huge inquiry as to what my favorite restaurants are, what malls are great, where is the best place to go downtown, etc.
Secondly, some people and businesses seem to be under the misconception that I blog about them as an advertising service for them, and as of late I have been asked to a) blog about places I have never heard of and b) blog for profit - meaning - say a place is great and they pay me, like an ad.
At this time - I only blog about what I want and I do not and never have accepted payment from any business or restaurant or individual to blog about them. If you see them here and I say I like their food and you should try it, I mean it. If I say a great event is coming up, I think it is a great event. I want to provide that information about the things in my community that I think are great (see the first part above) so that my clients and readers have information at their fingertips.
I know some bloggers may think that letting businesses place ads in the form of blogs is a great idea, but for me, I choose not to go down that road at this time - but I certainly thank all of you who have inquired for your interest in my business.
Its pretty plain and simple. I hope that clears that up.
