commenting: NO CURE FOR FOOT IN MOUTH AGAIN FOUND - 03/09/13 10:17 PM
It makes its way into every business and personal transaction. It runs rampant and random too. This is something that we have inherited and apparently there is no cure. Its symptoms are very obvious only after the fact...never before. Consequently the ones infected become embarrassed and even humiliated swearing never to travel that way again...but to no avail
NO ESCAPE AND NO CURE..YET
For try as we may, it follows us around like a new born chick follows the mother hen. We are aware of it, but powerless to stop it. Some have it worse than others, but all show symptoms. … (8 comments)

commenting: CHECK YOUR ACTIVERAIN BRANDING AND HAVE SOME FUN TOO - 03/02/13 10:46 PM
I know I am not the only one that has been branded by others here in ActiveRain-land. I know people from reading their posts, comments, emails and even speaking with them. I consider them worthy representatives of their area and of their chosen profession too. Throughout my day and week, sometimes a pleasant thought or memory stops in from the world of ActiveRain
BRANDING & MARKETING
That is because the experience of ActiveRain has branded with me as well as thousands of others too. If I hear a name, place or profession, I think of the ActiveRain-er that I know of … (10 comments)

commenting: COMMENTING HOW IMPORTANT IS IT? - 03/01/13 10:58 PM
You have a web site, a newsletter, a blog or a post and you share personally and professionally your values, experiences and services. Others who come across  the sharing of your ideals may or may not comment. What does that mean to you? Were you content to share and fulfilled from that or did you want feedback and input personal or professional for your efforts?
MOVED TO RESPOND?
Then there is always the commenters point of view. Does your post compel a response? If so, then it is the commenters turn thus the comment.  In the world of posting, texting and … (16 comments)

You know I visit with posts and comments every day and some are just so enjoyable that it brings forth a response from me to comment. It my haste to comment and during my enjoying the experience, I forget or overlook a few things...First, to suggest the post. My goodness if it is worthy and interesting, a suggest should well be...SUGGESTED. Another thing is that if it is appealing to me, why not subscribe?

I just spent a few minutes typing out my Monday morning post. Its time to get the post ponies to the gate and start sharing and gathering the points. I had a real sweet post ready to go and my dear sweet wife distracted me at the last moment and I forgot to save it before I launched it and ..........
GONE IN A EYE BLINK

commenting: BLOGGING POSTING OR COMMENTING IS LIKE AN INTERVIEW - 01/31/13 11:41 PM
Its an exchange...Simply stated the person who is sharing the little bit about themselves, a subject, and how they think, do business and relate in regards to miscellaneous topics is being interviewed and not just viewed. Knowing a little bit about someone as part of feeling good about doing business with them and is coming back as a primary ingredient to do business by.
FIND THE COMMON GROUND
The sharing of self helps us bond and relate sort of like having something in common. Common ground is a great place to build on and from. So while you are doing your sharing, someone else is … (14 comments)

commenting: IS THERE SUCH A THING AS OVER BLOGGING? - 01/30/13 12:40 AM
Can too much of anything can back fire? Isn't moderation and a little bit of this or that the preferred way to go? In most cases and for most subject matters I would say so. However, we have all seen the importance and relevancy of the Internet and how it impacts our everyday lives. QUESTION: Is giving out as many business cards as you can harmful to your business operations?
SHOW and SHARE YOURSELF
Therein lies your answer to the title of this post. NO, there is no such thing as TOO MUCH BLOGGING, POSTING OR COMMENTING or giving out too many business cards for … (6 comments)

commenting: YOU GET POINTS FOR TALKING TO YOURSELF? - 01/23/13 02:28 AM
Rainmaker Don Sabinske started it....Do You Comment on Your Own Posts? Why Not? Well it has been pointed out that if you comment on your own post, you get points for it. Look for multiple personalities surfacing now especially when you add the lure of points to make you come out. It would start out as a comment or statement and then, because of point temptation, turn into an argument with ones self on ones post
LOSING IT?
Example: I like this post and it has potential. Well it could have been better. Well maybe your right. No, you are right etc etc. … (17 comments)

commenting: IT WAS A RAINMAKER WHO SET ME STRAIGHT - 01/21/13 11:40 PM
Years ago when I fist started out on ACTIVERAIN, well it was a very pleasant experience in many ways. Over time I experimented with different things always looking for my online presence and identity. Sometimes you have to have a little fun while commenting, posting and blogging and sometimes you have too much fun and lose focus
IT CREPT UP ON ME
I remember keeping a balance on the subject of personal versus business and one day rather subtly I started having more fun than purpose. Perhaps it was from exhaustion, temporary indifference or ignorance who knows. How I came back … (14 comments)

commenting: ACTIVERAIN TOOL BEING OPTIMIZED IN CALIFORNIA - 01/15/13 06:00 AM
You see it is a post about the rankings of the ACTIVERAIN players for California. these are some very impressive bloggers, commenters and posters who are to be respected and enjoyed. I entered into the top 20 ranks with enormous effort, grace and luck but the journey upward and to the higher plains will be no cake walk..WHY?
These are where the action bloggers, the mover and shakers hang out and they not only like what they do, but they do it well and consistently. It reminds me of the Olympics in a way where the best from all over come … (4 comments)

commenting: WHY DOES SOMEONE UNSUBSCRIBE HELP ME UNDERSTAND - 01/04/13 10:44 PM
I always have a pleasant thought or feeling when someone subscribes to my post. It is just the simple fact that they find something of interest and I was able to help with that interest. The giver and the receiver meet up and that is a good thing. However, when someone pulls out which is a deliberate act, I am wondering why they do so?
HERE'S WHAT I DO
I log-in and go about my ActiveRain business and I at some point just happen to notice the numbers change. Now this is an interesting thing because I notice when they go up … (25 comments)

commenting: POSTS ARE ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF YOU - 12/29/12 11:29 PM
Have you ever answered the door in your pajamas? You had to respond to the knock or doorbell and time caused you to take a short cut. However, the door was answered, but it wasn't your best self. Something similar takes place when placing a post in position to launch. If it isn't all there, if it doesn't have your best on point, well at least you posted...right? WRONG
THAT POST IS AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF YOU
If you go back about fifty years, everyone wore a suit and a tie with a hat. It was unheard of to go around … (6 comments)

commenting: WHY I DONT LIKE ACTIVERAIN EXPLAINED - 12/19/12 12:10 AM
The results are in. They are conclusive and have stood up to rigorous testing by tens of thousands of people over a period of extended time and double checked by hundreds of thousands randomly across the United States and Canada. This tests are self-evident and speak for themselves. No further testing is required and this matter is closed
NO REASON CAN BE FOUND
 I mean trying to find a flaw, a problem, a downside, a negativity or complaint with this well run and most effective Real Estate centered site is challenging and daunting to say the least so say hundreds of thousands of test … (57 comments)

I go down to the area below the post where it says like and Facebook and there is thousands of people who love the post and then a parade of their pictures follows. All the old and new ACTIVERAIN favorites appear like a living photo album.

Well we did it. The four us managed to meet up and make some RAIN (literally too) in Riverside Ca. Below, you will find our business cards, pictures and thoughts. Rainmakers like each other and can share instantly too. In addition to being happy to see each other, we were all in agreement about being happy with the points and the sharing of this meeting with our ACTIVERAIN online friends

Ahhhhggghhh is the Universal language shared between all who have gone to the trouble to do a post, a blog or even a comment and for whatever reason and at some point and without warning, you dump it all. It goes back to wherever it all came from. It is a moment that is no respecter of persons and you have to get over it or it can take you out

commenting: FIGHT TO THE DEATH MAN VERSUS MAN-EATING VINE - 12/04/12 11:25 PM
It remained quiet and still. I went outside to work on the yard and came near it not suspecting that it too had an agenda. It watched me.... waiting for the perfect time but I was too fast, armed, and determined. The fight was on and the noise was a steady bzzzzzz. It secreted a sweet syrup and attracted vicious bees who attacked. I held my ground
VERY HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH A DEATH STRUGGLE WHILE YOU ARE IN IT
But hey.....Nothing but the best for you guys is what I am always thinking. It is a good thing I had gloves … (4 comments)

commenting: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ACTIVERAIN SEARCH FEATURE - 11/11/12 10:02 PM
 I received an email from a person who is interested in entering the food industry and particularly in the roasting of nuts. I have included the emails at the bottom of this post. the point I am making is that posting here on ACTIVERAIN will pay-off providing you stay the course and make it your daily habit to do so. Your business will profit from this as well as new opportunities too
I WENT NUTS 3 TIMES IN THE RAIN
Below is a series of posts I did on roasting nuts. Well someone looked them all up and contacted me to … (8 comments)

commenting: WALK OF FAME ON ACTIVERAIN being featured - 10/30/12 10:18 AM
Getting featured remains very enjoyable. Finally, something you said or did and posted about rose through the ranks and by forces not understood on this side of the Internet, buttons were pushed and points were dispersed and a tiny little word appears after your title...featured. So now you begin the walk starting from the top of your computer and AR's roll call or scroll and while descending or walking slowly greeting and meeting different folks as they congratulate you

commenting: I JUST WANTED TO PLAY WITH BLOCKS SOMEONE ELSE ADDED THE LETTERS - 10/24/12 07:27 AM
I know about ACTIVERAIN's little secret. They took maximizing your exposure, building your business and branding while allowing you to promote your self and cleverly hid it inside a fun and entertaining environment. It reminds me of the alphabet blocks we had growing up. I just wanted to play blocks and someone added ALPHABET letters to them. Lo and behold the Alphabet was creeping into my poor little ignorant, innocent, impressionable brain.
