In March of 2007 I joined the  ActiveRain Real Estate Network and started blogging for the first time in my life. It has become my most valuable tool for internet marketing as well as a place to get to know other professionals nationwide that I have ever come across.

Back in January of 2008 nine members of ActiveRain were invited to co-author a book on Technology, Social Media and Blogging.   In March I wrote:  Co-Authoring a Book: "Profit From Technology - A Guide for Today's Real Estate Agent" and now I am proudly announcing the release of this book along with the other co-authors of the book.

Following are the Chapters and the members who wrote them:

Chapter 1 - Technology: Nemesis or Redeemer?                                                        Carol Smith

Chapter 2 - Towards 100% Online Lead Generation                                                Brian Block

Chapter 3 - Using Internet Tools to serve the Seller                                          Natalie Langford

Chapter 4 - Speak the Language of Today's Internet- 
Enabled Client                                                                                                                  Kathi Frank

Chapter 5 - Through the Eyes of a Real Estate Industry
Social Media Blogger                                                                                      Celeste "Sally" Cheeseman

Chapter 6 - Virtual Assistants-The Future of Real
Estate Support                                                                                                                 Sarah Reiter

Chapter 7 - Time vs. Money (Organic Searches vs.
Pay per Click)                                                                                                                   Missy Caulk

Chapter 8 - Become the Master of Your Own Domain!
Build a Profitable Custom Website                                                                       Colleen Fischesser

Chapter 9 - The new challenges to time management -
how to avoid burn out or addiction                                                                        Joeann Fossland

I am honored and proud to be amongst some talented bloggers from ActiveRain to get this book together and most of all a big appreciation to  Kathi Frank who first introduced us to Would you like to co-author a book?  for without Kathi none of this would have transpired.

I kept reading my Chapter 5 over and over and there is one thing that showed through my writing. My love for ActiveRain and all it has given me to get to the point and time of ......NOW. The part of my life that is imperative to keep working at for my business as well as the rewards ActiveRain has given me for the past 2.5 years.

The connections with my peers and MANY clients and the friends I've made along the way.

............... Blogging and Social Media is without a doubt THE way for consumers, peers and the public to get information and possibly connect with individuals in our Real Estate Industry through our writing. We all have presently turned to the internet for information for anything and everything and it surely will continue with unsurpassed knowledge at the click of the mouse. ........Celeste "Sally" Cheeseman, page 91, Profit from Technology

It is with this networking on the ActiveRain Real Estate Network that gave this member an opportunity to connect through blogging on this platform, gain knowledge, connecting with the public and consumer ..... and is what made all of this possible.
