activerain: Beware: Being on ActiveRain causes Growing Pains

Beware: Being on ActiveRain causes Growing Pains This statement couldn't be more true! Warning: If you're not prepared for a huge increase in connections, contacts, inquiries, business opportunities, friendships and more - then this is not the place for you. If you're interested in writing about topics that will strike a cord with someone, if you speak from the heart and have knowledge about a particular subject matter and are interested in connecting with possible clients and colleagues to develop relationships that will not only benefit your business but you personally - then this IS the place for you.
Information - your blog content, an online journal of information, content that fulfills your subsribers and potential client's needs. Dedication - to blogging, your real estate business, to clients, and to your subscribers. Evolution - Real Estate and blogging are constantly evolving. Association - being on a network like AR we are able to connect and associate with link minded professionals as well as extend our reach with social media sites with people we may have never met otherwise.
This post was inspired by Bob Stewarts Blog Challenge when he asked the question "How do you use your blog to enhance your existing relationships with clients and prospects?" I have four examples that I want to share that I hope will encourage others to be an active member of this community. I have used my blog posts (and what I consider to be another version of my websites) to generate interest in my marketing and virtual assistant services as well as provide ideas on how my prospects, readers and clients can extend their reach and provide great customer service to … (6 comments)
I think it's safe to say we've all been hurt before - whether in a relationship, business, and just from experiences we've had. The memories that can come back to us when we relive those experiences can be quite painful and often leave us feeling cautious about trusting anyone. I know on many of my blog posts people have shared some of the negative feelings that they have experienced and are aware of when it comes to the real estate industry and how … (47 comments)
activerain: What word would you use to describe Social Media Networking ? Numbers? Strategy? Marathon? Connection? (Insert your word)
- 07/31/09 04:31 AM
When it comes to Social Media you have your Followers (Twitter), your Fans or Friends (Facebook), your Connections (LinkedIn) or your Subscribers (Activerain or other blogging network.) With all the many ways we have available to interact with people, I started thinking about what are my goals when it comes to social media networking? In the last week or so I've read many posts about either why someone has made the decision to not use other forms of social media networking or has fully embraced this medium with great results. I believe it comes down to a personal choice for … (20 comments)

Over the last few days I visited with my parents in Boston. As many of my friends here know my dad was recently diagnosed with cancer and will have a long and tough battle to fight. During my visit I watched my dad, a man of great determination, faith and fight in him, realize that his life was changing. Some of his choices have been taken away from him but he does still have choices. He can choose to live life as fully as he had before his diagnosis or he could choose to give up. As he goes through his … (13 comments)

THANK YOU just doesn't seem to be enough to express my feelings when I think about all the people - my readers, subscribers associates and commenters who have helped me achieve a milestone that back on August 23, 2008 I couldn't even imagine coming true. I never dreamed that I would find such an amazing resources in ActiveRain, What I would learn, Who I would meet and Where it would take what was once a local business in Bucks County, PA. Every day that I sign into my AR account I come with an open mind, heart and hands - willing to give … (27 comments)
activerain: Great posting sites/tools to increase your search engine juice and your chances of consumers finding you
- 02/09/09 12:09 AM
As I mentioned in my last post,http://activerain.com/blogsview/914035/How-to-ensure-your-sites-come-up-when-customers-are-searching-for-real-estate-services, I promised to come back and share with you some great sites to post your listings and services to increase the potential for consumers to find you. Many of the sites are in fact free to post, some are not, but what I have discovered is that most of them increase our chances of being found on the internet and provide great traffic stats for us to share with clients - that is after all who we are trying to satisfy and what will ultimately build our business in the best possible way - … (45 comments)
