AR gets me published!

By
Real Estate Agent with Associated Brokers Of Pagosa

Do you have the AR bug? I was driving home tonight thinking " I want to write a good post on Active Rain, but a little writers block has set in"

My phone rings at 8:00. It was Bill Hudsen the editor of PagosaDailyPost.com. He wants to know if I can write and he can post some of my Real Estate articles on his site. The site is 1 of the 3 major news sources for our area, and gets pretty good play locally and elswhere. Bill tells me it is read 60% locally and 40% abroad.So here I am like a giddy schoolboy just because I got a slight little bit of attention for my not-so-great writing.(and I have a topic to write about tonight).

 

This may not seem like a big deal to a lot of you but the point I am trying to make here is that participating on the Rain pays off!

Do you have a similar story? Have you had any specific recognition latley because your a Rainer?

Chris - congrats - always great to get those calls isn't it! I've been in the local newspaper on a couple of occasions because of my blogging. Had a new client call me yesterday and talked for 1-1/2 hours about everything. She called me because I had my dog in my picture ;-)

Hi Chris,
Good for you, getting our names and faces out there certainly is what we're working for here.  Yes, it is work and that is what it takes.  Right?
