I adore blogging about my vacation rentals and my destination Tybee Island Georgia! I blog daily and have created quite a following of past and future guests!

I agree that a blog is not only a great way to promote your vacation homes but also an enjoyable thing to do. There is a lot of scope about what you can write about – I have homes near Disney World so the subject matter is endless. It also lets your potential guests know that you stand out from the crowd in the care and professionalism you bring to your homes.

I am glad to have found your blog John. Via Heathers blog which I think is excellent too.

Great advice on starting up a blog John – I would advise anyone who is serious about getting traffic to do so. It is a great medium to get across a whole range of information about the area attractions and events.
My recommendation would be to start off with a Wordpress blog on a self hosted platform, rather than use their free option. This gives much more freedom to use plugins and of course you have your own domain name as well. I use Blue Host – there’s a link to it on my blog. The set-up is easy and they will even do it for you. It is worth the annual hosting fee.

Make sure you post regularly and over time you’ll get a loyal following. Just like I read every post John makes, and he follows my blog!
