10 Reasons to Treat Your Blog as Real Estate
1. Your Largest Investment Isn’t Just Your Home Anymore
When you consider the amount of time, effort, money and energy you put into your blog weekly if not daily, it’s time to look at this as an investment. If you’re working on your blog twenty or more hours a week, consider it a job. While your blog may not be paying you by the hour, the benefits long term could be substantial. In the future, websites and blogs that are established and ‘well built’ will likely see a steady income or nice resale value.

Reboot, Intervention 2.0 The muse can be a real pain in the butt. When I am writing in the wrong direction I get slapped around pretty well. I can’t write with flow, nothing is clear, and the story, well… if you spent some time in this section of the blog, you have to pretty much know it wasn’t going well.
