A real estate blog is one of the best ways to market your real estate business. Your blog not only helps build your brand and credibility as a real estate pro, but it also helps you attract new prospects. And the ideas for content creation are endless. To get you started, here are some of our favorite sources for generating real estate blog ideas.
- Hubspot’s blog topic generator
HubSpot’s Blog Topic Generator can recommend headlines to fit the keywords you want to target. You enter three keywords or phrases, and it will give you a few title suggestions.
- Wordstream’s free keyword tool
This free tool uses Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools data to find what keywords drive traffic to your website and suggest new keywords that you could be targeting. You can then use those target keywords as inspiration for numerous real estate blog ideas, post topics and headlines.

- Real estate forums, discussion boards and groups
The number of forums and discussion boards online is limitless. You can find discussions going on about pretty much anything. Bookmark a few of them to see common questions or discussions that are happening, and you’re sure to find a few ideas for your real estate blog or social media posts. You can also do a local Google search to see if there are any forums specific to your market areas.
Just like forums, social media groups can also help you generate real estate blog ideas. Facebook and LinkedIn real estate groups are particularly well-moderated and generate great discussions and, hence, ideas.
