The Daily Sauce is the real deal; this content is never paid for.
I receive this blog via email on a daily basis and am very impressed by the fact that each and every post leads with the above disclaimer. The Daily Sauce posts three snack sized sound bites on local businesses or happenings in and around the Saint Louis area and the fact that they are not paid for the content gives me an innate trust for what they have to say.
I see the trend emerging where more and more multifamily players will embrace a blogging strategy for the reason of increasing traffic to their respective web sites. It’s well worth the effort for a number of reasons we have discussed here in the past but one thing I would caution you against is paying third parties to pen your posts and or accepting payments from vendors in exchange for glowing reviews. I think in either case the content is marred.
I am certain there are others schools of thought out there on the subject so please feel free to drop us a comment.
We will undoubtedly post more on the subject of community blogging in the future.
Until then – have a stellar weekend.

I don't like paid blogging! Andy Sernovitz says once you pay for it, it's not Word of Mouth any more, it's not an evangelized statement from someone who loves you, it's just an ad. Not a fan, no sir-ee.
I wish they had a little blog like that for Seattle π It would be nice to know what's going on more often and when I should avoid the traffic on I-5
you are right. I do blog and the content is never paid for. Please visit http://Community-Apartment.blogspot.in.
