You’ve all heard about Inman Local, but do you ever wonder how the coverage is different? Sure, Inman Local covers seven specific metros and their respective real estate news, but when it comes to you guys (our stellar contributors), the process is a little different.
If you are a contributor in Chicago, DC, Houston, Miami, NYC, Los Angeles or San Francisco, you’re eligible to write for Inman Local. Here are a few tips to slant your content to target your specific local audience.
READ THE NEWSPAPER
Whether it’s a physical copy or digital edition, a newspaper is still the gateway to what’s happening in your local area. Stay on top of local trends that may not be directly related to real estate, but will impact it.
Are city planners adding new bike lanes to a neighborhood? Is a new retail development going to be under construction? Is the local park getting a makeover?
GET OUT AND MINGLE
What better way to be in the know than to talk to other people in your community? Head to an art gallery opening, museum, sporting event, music festival or community meetup.
While we’re on the subject, why not share your favorite museum, coffee shop, restaurant or music venue with the rest of the real estate community on Inman? You may have had luck finding leads at these places, so share your experience.
BREAK DOWN A NATIONAL STORY
National stories can have a specific impact on your local market-- and you can be the person to bring it all home.
Consider how the national news will impact your day-to-day business specifically.
