blogging: Scared (for a better use of words) Crapless. - 07/26/08 01:48 PM

I joined The Rain on October 04, 2007 and shyly surfed the site for the first 10 days. No comments, no posts, in fact I hardly understood the concept of "Blogging." Blogging, it's not even in the spell check system. How important can it be if it hasn't made the spell check system? (hint, hint Active Rain Team). I thought what the heck, I'll look into it now that I'm here.
My first post was on October 14, 2007. Nervous, yep, after seeing the post that some of the seasoned (OK, old timers) Rainer's were posting.

blogging: Get connected with Active Rain - 12/15/07 03:52 PM
I'm continuously sending invitations to Real-estate Professionals that I have had contact with over the years.
My biggest obstacle is convincing the Professional of the importance of net working and blogging with fellow Professionals.
I'm finding it hard to believe that agents or builders are so busy in this economy that they can't find the time to better themselves by utilizing this great tool the Active Rain company has provided.
My question to anyone whom is willing to help shed some light on this matter is "How do you go about convincing a possible new member to sign on to Active Rain?" Once they have signed on, … (8 comments)
