One of the questions often asked by Realtors who are considering using blogs for marketing purposes is, "When will I find the time?" That's a valid question. Here's a valid answer: "When you have the time."

Most blog platforms, including ours, enable you to "timestamp" your posts. In other words, you can write a post or series of posts when you have time, then timestamp them to appear on the blog when you wish.

I suffer from the same malady, lack of time. Often, I'll set aside a couple of hours on a Saturday morning to compose some posts, then schedule them to run in subsequent days the following week. While you might not want to devote a Saturday to this practice, surely there is some time during the week you could find for this purpose.

Timestamping is a valuable feature and not one we talk about enough. But, I guarantee you, it's one way you can more effectively manage your posting schedule.

I'd love to hear feedback from those of you who use the time stamp feature. What works best for you? Any advice you'd care to give along those lines? Please feel free.

(BTW, I wrote this on Saturday, March 10, but scheduled it for posting Tuesday, March 13.)
