I've thought about this post for a long time. It seems that it should be something special, meaningful. Truth is, the post is not what is meaningful or lasting....it was the journey; this post is the blue ribbon, the cup, the glass of champagne. The prize feels good, but why does it feel so good? Do you ever wonder about the people who win the lottery and then fall a part? They often lose family and friends...and the money itself. Why is that? I think it's because there was … (97 comments)
Remember when you did something great as a child? There was often a treat involved with the achievement. I liked going to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. It was a special treat and if I were really, really good, I could bring some friends and order the Zoo! The Zoo is a huge bucket of ice cream and toppings. Too much for any one person, regardless of how good you were. Well, Active Rain is celebrating some good news and good work on their end. Our traffic is up based on the good … (7 comments)
This is it! 2014 is the One Million Year for me. Maybe not a million dollars, but definitely a million points. I can hardly believe I'm saying that out loud. I remember that I happened onto Active Rain in 2008 by accident. I knew I needed to get onto the Internet and there was a class being held about just that. The course description talked about some other sites :) and Active Rain. So in preparation, I decided to check it out. Hooked right away! Had I posted this yesterday (as I intended) I could say that … (20 comments)
I headed to bed last night and it was just a normal Saturday night. But low and behold I woke up this morning and I had over 900,000 points! That's amazing! I was about a blog post away last I checked. I wonder if there are Active Rain Gnomes who work at night to add points? I also woke up to find out that my recent post, The Runaway Agent, had been featured. That will do it! My original plan was to write a morning … (15 comments)
active rain points: Congratulations Lenn!!!
- 07/11/13 03:36 AM
I've tried to add a photo to this post for far too long now, so I'm just going to write this. I saw Jon's post congratulating Lenn on accumulating over 2 million points. Wow! Certainly just the consistency and commitment it takes on a daily basis is impressive, but it's so much more than that. You can get points simply by posting properties and market reports, Lenn does so much more. Jon called her the Queen of Active Rain, I think that is a fairly accurate description. Those 2 million points represent her participation and care of the Active Rain Community. … (11 comments)
Remember the first time you felt that rush? You know what I'm talking about. You might have spent hours preparing for that special moment or maybe it just "happened," but we never forget how we felt....that first time. Remember? Your first Featured Post? :) I remember mine. It was a "Wham Bam, Thank You Ma'am" type of post. Written in one long train of thought and posted, but from my heart. It was about Captain Phillips who saved his ship and crew from pirates...along with our brave military. It … (10 comments)
Darn it! Been watching for this milestone for a few weeks. Then "BAM" it just sneaked up on me while I was blogging. Oh well....here it is. Now I'm sure you're wondering about the cute little trailer to the left. No...not branching into mobile homes, :). I have a plan! First of all....never have lunch with my best friend, Cindy, at 11am unless you truly have nothing else to do that day. I knew I was in trouble when she showed up in boots and make-up. Sure enough, I was. We had a nice lunch with … (95 comments)
Here's my question for the day.....would you give a referral to a Rainer who only had 2500 points? or 4500? or what? How do you determine who to give referrals to? Have you even thought about it? Well....I'm sure you've thought about it. Let's face it, we work hard for our leads and when we decide to give one out as a referral....it reflects upon us too. It's very important that we give them to someone who is going to treat them properly. Enter Active Rain I love to give AR-ers referrals...in fact almost all of my … (30 comments)
active rain points: I Hit 100,000 Points Today....What Active Rain Has Done For Me!
- 08/17/09 04:13 AM
100,000 points!! That's a big number! It represents a great deal of time, energy and thought. I began blogging on Active Rain last December and didn't know how it would impact my real estate career....and my life. Over the last 9 months.....the benefits have been huge, like the points number. Contacts/Network/Friends: I have to start with this. I have "met" so many people from all over the country who have become my friends. I love waking up to a comment from a familiar face. I appreciate having a network of experts who can give me their insight to my dilemmas. I … (7 comments)
