I set a goal for myself to reach 150,000 points before August 31,2009.

Currently, I am obtaining requests to show other people  how to implement social network marketing into their business.
Real estate is a contact sport. So, we have to find multiple ways to stay in contact with people such as E-mail, cards, phone, in person, and online social networks (ActiveRain.)

harry f delia iii: CASH FOR CLUNKERS ENDS - 08/22/09 03:47 AM

The Federal Government has been on a spending spree this month by allocating $3 billion towards "CASH FOR CLUNKERS."
