Take Rainmaker Webinar Today, the #1 Spot on Google 10 Hours Later!

Julie Chapman Realty Homes Brunswick Georgia — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:25:34 -0500

If you are not a Rainmaker, give this preview by Jeremy Blanton a try......nothing to lose - I signed a contract this week with a buyer who found me on Active Rain's localism.......

Via Jeremy Blanton ActiveRain Corp. (ActiveRain Corp.):

As I have mentioned over the last week or so that I have recently started teaching some webinars for our non Rainmakers. In these webinars I am teaching them how to write effective blog posts to rank well in Google as well as be appealing for consumers. Yesterday, I taught a class that included one of our new members, Leilani Souza.

Leilani took some of the tips I shared during our webinar and has implemented them beautifully! One of the things I always try to do is keep an eye out on my students to see how I can help them and how their posts rank. Well, last night, only 10 hours after our class was over, Leilani sent a few blog posts public that have already claimed the #1 & #2 spots on Google! Google has already indexed her blog and placed her at the top of the search engine where she belongs. See below:

I am so proud of my student taking the basics to blogging and putting them into action. She can already see the results and things will only get better from here! On the other hand, I am guessing today that the agents that have dominated those positions are quite upset to see them lose rankings so quickly. This is a great example of the power of being a rainmaker and how it can increase your online presence dramatically.

If you have been sitting on the fence on whether or not becoming a Rainmaker is right for you, sign up for my webinar and start seeing results like Leilani's Blog. I guarantee it will be the best $5.00 you ever spend!

To make things easier, I have included the form below to sign up

Website Review - WarrantyElephant.com - Organize those New Construction Appliance, Product and Other Warranties in a Single Location and Receive Automated E-Mails so You Never Miss a Warranty Deadline or Expiration Date

Julie Chapman Realty Homes Brunswick Georgia — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:52:52 -0500

Ryan Shaughnessy of PREA Signature Realty in Saint Louis, Missouri has more great information for anyone with warranties. Take a read.

Via Ryan Shaughnessy, Broker/Attorney - Your Lafayette Square Real Estate Partner (PREA Signature Realty - www.preasignaturerealty.com):

WarrantyElephant is a great website designed for storing and organizing warranty information. For new home construction or custom homes, you often have a ton of warranty booklets and product information scattered about your new home. After moving in, you often have additional work done which may have a warranty associated with the work. Warranty Elephant allows you to organize and store warranty information in a single location.

With Warranty Elephant, you enter the warranty information such as purchase information, serial numbers, date of purchase, warranty contact information, expiration dates, etc. into their database and can upload up to two files - photographs, warranty registration cards, proof of purchase, invoices, etc. so you never have to worry about searching for warranty information.

Warranty Elephant then sends you regular e-mail alerts at periodic intervals prior to the warranty expiration date such as 6 months, 1 month and 1 week before your warranty expires. Warranty Elephant insures that you never miss a warranty deadline or warranty expiration date.

If you are in new home sales or custom home building, Warranty Elephant allows you another way to add value to a transaction and to assist your customer by making future warranty claims easy to handle.

Interested in new construction or custom built homes in Lafayette Square? Contact Ryan Shaughnessy at PREA Signature Realty at 314-971-4381 or send an e-mail to Ryan@PREASignatureRealty.com.
