What a great story Teri!  Just goes to show you that there are real people out there reading these posts. 

Teri - So true!  You really do never know!  I always laugh, because I check mybloglog, and every once and a while someone searches for "Cory Frantzick" and ends up on my blog.  LOL!  However, I notice hits on things that I would never dream of, and from all kinds of places.  You never know who is reading!

Teri.... We can never really gauge how many lurkers might be following our blogs...  Here in the Northeast Labor Day marks the end of summer and the beginning of the Fair Season... Most weekends in September will have a fair going on somewhere close by. 

Teri, I think that's wonderful and I hope you share it when it comes out!  I got a brief mention in the NY Times from a comment left on a blog :)  I'm sure you had a wonderful weekend and congratulations to you.

Congratualtions Teri. Now lets wait and see If that quote leads to something else. A little domino effect would be nice.

Great one!  I'll write one a little later...got caught up with a lead from Active Rain! I spoke to the Mrs. and set them up with listings and going back and forth with emails....they won't be here for a little while but she really sounded nice and knew what they wanted! Me? :)

Teri, Good for you, congratulations. You are right everyone is reading our blogs.

Teri - Congrats to you and you're so right - great info - thanks for sharing and reminding us that lots of eyes are always upon us. :-) 

Teri, I got a call from a newspaper reporter in town Friday about one of my older blogs as well.  Interesting!!!

Keep on blogging...sounds like it's working great for you Teri!

Wow! A very inspirational read. I am so amazed at the reports from active rain bloggers who are getting noticed! Plus the fun and education you experience along the way! Great blog, thanks for sharing   :)3

Hi Teri,

Great story, thank you for sharing it with us. And you are so right, you never know where AR may lead to at times. As for now, it's brought me lots of wonderful friends.

Congrats, Teri!  The blogging is making our world even smaller.  Congrats to Sally as well.  This shows that we really should be blogging about our localities.  I've been focusing on that lately but not enough.  Thanks for sharing!

Teri,

Great story - congratulations on being in print.  Too bad they didn't need you to come out for an in-person interview.  I guess someone is reading all those comments after all!

A good point and one that people should understand when commenting. Don't say anything that might come back later to bite you in the butt! :)

Teri - Thanks for sharing - people do read, I think more than we realize. With the press always including our industry news in the headlines, homeowners are out there searching for relevant information about the city and town they live in. Congrats on your notoriety!

too cool- congrats... I must have missed that post - I had buyers in town all weekend

Lisa--What is interesting is they read the comments too!

Joslyn--Cory must love that!! Do you pass on the leads if they call?

Dan--MN is the land of fairs and carnivals...Every community has something from May through Oct. There is even a Winter Carnival in the dead of winter! North St. Paul has Fall Round Up Days and a parade that we still try to attend. The MN State Fair is the granddaddy of them all!!

Carole--I forgot to add the link until later...It was out on Labor Day so is posted now!

Michael--It will hopefully give Sally a lead or two...Doubt too many Hawaiian's want to move and enjoy Minnesota winters but you never know...:)

Sally--The leads just keep coming and coming! :)

Mana--It is amazing isn't it?

Cyndee--Every post and comment should be considered prior to putting it out for the world to see.

Chris--Did you get to see the article yet? Keep us updateded! :) Reporters research topics online as well....We are making it easy for them to locate an expert on local real estate!

Leah--It really does work! I have several good leads and clients since starting. And LOTS of wonderful netwroking contacts!

Diane--You are welcome! Blogging does bring business and make you a local expert. First time I was noticed for a comment though.

Lynda--I am certain it will bring you business as well! The friends and contacts are a great perk too!

Yolanda--I started doing mostly localism posts. Sally has written many great posts on Hawaii. It makes you a community expert and that is what many real estate buyers and sellers are looking for.

Rita--Now there's an idea for a great story--Fly me out. I'm can be packed in 15 minutes! :)

Jennifer--Keep it positive and honest in your posts and comments! The only way to write a business blog!

Paula--It is Sally's more than mine as I was just a little ole' commenter. But reminded me that the comments are being read as well as the posts!

Thesa--Thanks!! Glad to hear you are busy too! :)

Teri,  That is awesome!  Congrats and so very true.  You just never know who and what they will be reading.

Teri - This was great.  You are right, you just never know who is reading.  I will have to check out Sally's blog, I don't think I have read it much but I keep hearing it mentioned in other blogs lately. 

Hey Teri, good for you and for Sally. I am totally on the same page, and know that others do read our posts. Now, when I get back in the game (in about four weeks or so) 'cause I'm busy relaxing in the mountains, I'll be back. I'll catch up..........

Stephanie--Thanks!! Many opportunites out here!

Steve--Sally is an awesome blogger. Really worth reading!

Teri--I was wondering where your icon has been :) Enjoy your vacation...Time off is very important to good business too!

Teri,

One more example of how small the world is getting, especially with networks like this......one world, a "Small World after all."

Kathy--It is more than a song on a ride at Disney! :)

You are so right. I have received leads from all over the country. Also it helps people find you eaiser if they are searching the net for you.

The world gets smaller every day, doesn't it!  Where else do you go but the internet to do any kind of research...everything is literally at your fingertips.

Thanks for the post. You really don't know where your blog will lead to.

Teri - How cool is THAT?!?!  I love that he found you from a comment on one of Sally's posts!  AR really does take you full circle!  You left the continental U.S. - will you be back for dinner?  I LOVE IT!!

Teri,

This is also a good reminder for eple to think before they write, everything you write here will be used againt, or for, you in the real world.  Great post!
