From Thriving to surviving, pleased with Active rains contribution quotient
Friends ask hows the market?  and how are you doing? Maybe both questions are rhetorical but they ask. If you don't have the horse power to throw money around in your marketing budget, my good friends here have allows me to run with their (free or low cost) suggestions, and active rain itself has given me face time and world wide web recognition.
We all grumble at the media, But lets face it the strong will survive and we can't control the negative spin and "the news business".But we do control our own business, livelihood and how we conduct ourselves in public. I'm pretty sure my clients don't want to hear me whine, they want me to tell them it's a good time to buy so they can feel good about that decisions.
 Kudos to people in the rain, As I read free tools for Realtors, S.E.O. & Blogging, and featured blogs I become flush with thanks, where else could I find this level of quality information for free. The week in review keeps me up-to date, the comedy groups keep me cheery, and the friendships I have developed keep me connected with Realtors across the country.
Moving on from here, I can't say this enough we all benefit from ... more
