Teaching Social Media Networking at GBBR Tomorrow -- ActiveRain is a MUST DO in my Course!

I am excited to teach at the local Board of Realtors (GBBR) tomorrow. Last time I taught, it was a great success -- the class reviews were 98.5% out of 100% that they liked the class and found it effective!

I am a bit nervous because the flyer distributed by the board had incorrect information -- calling the course "How to Sell Your Listings Using Technology." Though I *could* teach that course, I haven't written it, nor is it the topic. I am just hoping not to disappoint. Focus

The actual course is "How to Use Social Media Networking to Boost Your Real Estate Business", and the top thing I teach is that the agents MUST MUST MUST be on Active Rain. Even if they don't do ANYTHING ELSE, they NEED to be on here.

Why? To LEARN. Share. FOCUS.

So, I'll update after the class tomorrow...

For now, goodnight, AR!

Marney - With a topic like Active Rain, how can any of your students be disappointed? This is a nugget that, if they don't already know about, they should. I have learned more here than anywhere else, made friends, and made a little money along the way. I am sure you will do fine.

I'm sure that you are doing, or have done a great job today with your class. Yes, I think that AR would be a mist in my class as well.

Hi Debra! Thanks!

Steve, you are so sweet, thank you!

Troy -- it is such an amazing site!

JR -- I could not emphasize enough the importance of being on here. Already had 2 people from the class email me to thank me -- and have created their profiles on here. Now I just have to keep on them!! :-)

Hi Marney ~ I recently joined C21 Nm and am trying to emphasize the value in all aspects of AR. I would love to attend, but happily working. I am very busy and I will attribute this to AR.

Marney I wish you well . Obviously, MD and VA are well represented on AR, but the more the merrier Karen

Monique, congratulations on your move! Hope your business keeps expanding!

Karen, It's true, we are well represented, but the more we can learn, the better, I say! :-) Thanks!

Hi Marney...I don't imagine those attending were the least bit disappointed to learn what you were going to cover. You are doing them a big favor by encouraging them to blog and to blog on Active Rain.

Hi Kate, it was SO neat to see the lightbulbs go on -- I even had one agent email me within hours asking me some questions about AR and what he should do! YAY!

I'm glad your class was a success! We had someone come to our office last week and do a presentatio on Facebook for business. I am trying to get her to join ActiveRain, she would be a great blogger.

Ann, it was fantastic. This site is just amazing, yet so many people don't take advantage of it. Thank you!
