There comes a time when we have to step away from those that are close to us and let them fly on their own.
Not that you are going to take flight – but we have opened our our doors on the Santa Clarita Business Blog to co-authors.
If you have a local business and want to do some writing about it on our Business Platform – We are now open for it.
No money will change hands, we don’t charge to have you put your business in lights. We are climbing the Google and Bing SEO ladders each and every day.
Now is your change to push your business to the next level by getting Content to the Masses.
Da Rules:
- We want a clean fight – no slander, hitting below the belt, or naming other competitors or their businesses.
- We reserve the right to modify entries to become more SEO friendly or edit where appropriate.
- We will review the post before it is made live.
- Heck, I’ll even talk to you about making your articles better. We are hiring more Real Estate Staff
- We want only Local Santa Clarita Businesses and those businesses that contribute to a better life for residents of the Santa Clarita Valley.
- Tax Exempt non profits and local blog authors with something that will add value to the experiences of the local residents in the SCV are also welcome to be co-authors.
Now that you know the rules – it’s time to start Blogging….
How to get started: Send me your preferred username – send me a couple of variations, i.e. streetsweeper, breadaligner, sweatcollar, etc – make them without spaces. Then send me your email – as soon as I get both of those items, I’ll set you up as an author on the Santa Clarita Business Blog.
How to write a blog? – It is very easy - Here is a video I produced that will answer some of the basic questions about writing a blog post on a WordPress platform – which Santa Clarita Business Blog is.
Turn around time between your writing and me reviewing and posting? – Probably 12-24 hours between the time you submit a post for review and I get it published. Please keep checking back. If I have any issues with your content or if I am going to change anything – I’ll let you know beforehand my reasoning.
Remember, I am a Real Estate Agent that has become pretty good at advertising our Sellers Listings and marketing to buyers – I am happy doing that and that alone. I don’t have any paid positions on our Business Blog or sponsorships, your post or write up will get the attention it deserves from Google and Bing – I have social networks plugged into each page so you, your friends and Sphere of Influence(S.O.I.), can tweet, like etc. – Giving you more Social Media Juice (which is not being watched hard by Google and Bing BTW).
This is a Free Service to assist our local Business community and the other local organizations. Because it is the right thing to do!
BTW – “content is king” – the more you write, the more you will be indexed and the more you are indexed, with relevant and on topic content, the higher you will rank on Google and Bing.

I would like to contribute to this blog. I am a business owner of a Santa Clarita computer repair and web design firm for four years now. We have achieved number one rankings on Google Yahoo and Bing for our SEO keywords. Just thought I’d have a lot to say to local businesses in the realm of computers and internet. Let me know what you think.
All are welcome Ryan, we don’t play favorites and I’d be happy to have you contribute. Be Safe and let’s connect by telephone so we can understand each other. My BEST – Connor
You know what Ryan, you fix computers? We should do a skype interview between you and I. Let’s connect Monday, give me a call, my phone number is all over this site. There are a lot of questions that can be answered about computers and their problems and how to protect ourselves from predators and crap. What do you think?
Hello, I would like to contribute to your blog if that invitation is still open. An example of my current blog site and my writings is, www dot losangelesbailbondscommunity dot com. I can write about law, the bail bonds industry, doing bail bonds in Santa Clarita, Or all kinds of SEO techniques or SEM techniques. I’ve been doing SEO and internet marketing for quite a while.
Absolutely you can: http://paris911.com/businesspost
I would be happy to contribute to your blog. People generally do not know what to look for when choosing a garage door installer or a repair service. I’ve been in business since 1993 and have much I can share.
Thanks for considering me!

I’d love to contribute to your blog to help business owners with their marketing. My focus has been out of this valley for some time, even though my business is located here and I’ve been a local resident for many years.

Interest Rates – What to expect going forward
Interest rates have been increasing since early in November 2010 and most of what we have seen is due to an overreaction to any piece of economic news. It actually makes me laugh that some of the bond traders truly believe that we are in the midst of an economic recovery. REALLY? Was I asleep when the economy recovered? I have been in the mortgage industry for over 20 years and when it comes to interest rates I know one thing. The markets will overreact to everything. When interest rates were going down they went down fast because the traders reacted to it. Now that interest rates are climbing they seem to be going up every day because the traders are overreacting.
If you are thinking of refinancing or purchasing a new home should you hold off and wait for interest rates to get better? If you are purchasing you should not wait! The market is coming off a few slow months and sellers are eager to negotiate. Get a loan with no points and refinance to a lower interest rate when interest rates go lower. A good lender will always be able to offer you loans with no points and no fees when you refinance (some restrictions apply.)
If you are considering a refinance to lower your interest rate, then you should refinance when it makes sense. If your interest rate is currently at 5.25% today, and you can lower your interest rate to 4.875% with no points and no fees then you should do it! When interest rates drop down to 4.50% then you should refinance again. If interest rates hit 4.250% with no points and no fees then you should refinance again!
There is no reason to wait for the lowest interest rate when you can refinance with no points and no closing costs. I have helped thousands of people refinance their homes to lower interest rates over the years and I always advise them to do the no closing cost loans.
Please let me know if you have any questions about interest rates, housing or what we can expect in 2011.

You are so right my friend. Fence sitting is great at the beginning of a foreclosure market, but not when prevalent interest rates are at all time lows, 20 years in price inclines have just been undone. And inventory is suffering.
I want to be a part of the Santa Clarita business blog… I’m fitness/weight loss, not real estate… that ok??
