Amy,
It has taken this contest for me to see the entire picture of AR and localism. I've completed 6 posts and waiting for my phone to ring off the hook. I'm not worried though. My area is not one to create instant calls. But... they will come!
Congratulations! Enjoy your rest, then keep up the good work!
Congratulations on the surge of leads.... hyperlocal posts are pretty neat. Ready to get mine finished. Keep up the good work even after the contest is over.
That's fantastic! You are obviously doing something RIGHT!
I'm happy for you...it's about time things started on the "up tick side"
Happy Easter.....

Glad to hear your busy! It's great when hard work pays off. Have a blessed weekend.
Thanks for sharing. This post helped me understand 1 - what I missed last week as I began the contest, and 2 - that I know it works, too! There is one neighborhood in my area where the whole neighborhood considers me their local expert. Honestly I sell very few of the houses, and do still lose listings to agents twice my age (and twice my market share) regularly. But I almost always get the first phone call. Even FSBO's call me to let me know they are for sale by owner. I have farmed the area spottily, but before I knew what a hyper local blog was, I was writing them on that neighborhood - a hungry newer agent trying to sell a single listing there. Those blogs have paid dividends for several years, I'd bet. I think I need to dust them off and upgrade the pics to higher quality "I've sold a few houses now" pics. And work on my conversion rates in there...
It sounds like you have figured out the magic formula for hyperlocal. Congrats. I'll be checking out your posts.
I'm praying for you! And now I have to go read your neighborhood posts to see what the magic was. What fun!
San Francisco must just be different that a lot of other places. I have been blogging about a particular area but I have not had my phone ring enough for me to consider changing ring tones.
Amy,
That is wonderful! You go girl!

Those local neighborhood posts are truly effective and it has been a great encouragement from Bob to get us to write more of them.
Yogurt and pretzel...?
My breakfast consist of salads, eggs, melon etc.
Eat healthy you'll feel better.
Good post
Amy...I am switching over to pretzels & yogurt and sitting cross legged as I type this. Still waiting for the phone to ring. Love your post......
The Hyper Local Post can work. I enjoy the contest as it gets me back into good habits.
Amy: Good for you, I use hyper local posts regularly, have not had time yet to apply for extra points .

Sounds like your posts worked like magic..thats great news!
Thanks for all your comments! I had a whirlwind week and I'm just now catching my breath. The power of ActiveRain never ceases to amaze me!
Good for you Amy. I love to hear Active Rain success stories.
The hyper local contest was great because it got so many members thinking local instead of just blogging aimlessly or about things that nobody locally will ever search for. I try to keep most of my content on my lethbridge mls blog as local as possible, but really do need to improve my content to include thing that people other than me would be interested in. I find it hard to take of my 'real estate guy' hat and write about other interesting subjects.
