Blogging About Your Tax Lien Investment Strategies – Tips from Saen Higgins from Wealth Without Risk

Tax lien investments are a part of the bigger real estate picture. As you get more involved, you will find that at least a part of the time you will end up owning the properties you invest in. This is a very profitable part of the entire tax lien certificate investment program. It allows you to realize even bigger benefits than the interest rate alone on your purchase.

You don’t have to wait until you actually own one of your properties to begin preparing for that phase of your business. One of the best ways to get exposure and start developing a reputation for your endeavors is to create a blog and write about your experiences.

When is Blogging a Good Choice for a Tax Lien Investment Business?
Some people are better at communication than others, and it is a good idea to identify your strong points, as well as weak points before starting out. Saen Higgins has developed the following questions for his “Wealth Without Risk” program to help tax lien investors recognize their abilities and strengthen areas where they have weak spots so they can successfully add blogging to their business presence.

A. Do you like to write, and are you good at it?
B. Do you enjoy communicating with others online?
C. Can you dedicate a couple of mornings per week to sit down and write a 300-500 word blog?
D. Do you have the imagination and tax lien certificate knowledge to come up with four or five topics right now?

Points “A” and “B” are perhaps the most important of the four questions. They are hard to fake, and not something you can force. However, if you are earnest and really want to develop a blog, you can learn to improve your grammar and spelling if you have problems with them. Many text creation programs have built in spell check and even grammar aids.

Since computers and mobile Internet devices are such a large part of our society, most people are accustomed to online communications. That doesn’t mean everybody likes it though. If you do not enjoy online communities and engaging in debates or conversations online it can be a real problem in blog development. This is, perhaps, the one point that simply isn’t easy to change. Saen Higgins of Wealth Without Risk enjoys his time blogging, and it gives him a chance to help others get started and learn from his experiences.

Coming up with the time to blog can be a problem in the beginning for some tax lien certificate investors just starting out. This is especially true when they are working full-time jobs along with their new business venture. You can do it if you set your mind to taking just a few minutes before or after work each day, and once you have a blog established, it isn’t as time consuming as it may seem.

What to Write About
The last point, coming up with topics, is sometimes daunting for beginners. Not everyone has the years of experience to draw on for ideas and topics that Saen Higgins of Wealth Without Risk have, but even beginners can find interesting things to write about that others will find helpful. Instead of thinking about all of the things Saen Higgins writes about, think about what you have to offer.

The things you should write about are topics that are close to home. Take pictures of the neighborhoods you choose to buy tax lien certificates in, and write about why you like those areas, what negatives there may be, and how you plan to overcome them.

You can take pictures of the homes you are previewing and discuss the pros and cons of each property. Others will be happy to join in and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each property. Engaging in a back and forth about the aspects of each property can be very helpful for you when learning how to pick the best properties. So, you see, the benefit of blogging about your tax lien certificate business is mutually beneficial.

Some other things to write about are local businesses and recreational areas. Not every blog has to be about the business of buying tax liens. Writing about your community helps others learn about it, and also gives local businesses exposure they will appreciate. It is never too early to begin building a positive business image that can carry over into associations that will help you when you need to make deals later.
