I'm New! I'm Here! I'm Peg!

This is my VERY first blog!  My friend Charles McDonald invited me to join active rain.  Any help you can give me about blogging or how to set up my profile would be greatly appreciated! 

I've been on the sidelines for awhile and a bit nervous about beginning my blogging "career" but I'm in now!

P.S.  Oh, and I will be adding my photo soon!

Welcome Peg,  Charles is a great guy but watch out he may MeMe you! Just write what you feel would be intersting useful or just fun. Add some photos and play around with the site. I am still learning and am still looking for how to change the font colors.

Peg - All you have to do is jump in and get yourself involved. There are plenty of posts on how to blog so read away! Welcome!

Peg,

Welcome to ActiveRain! You will enjoy it here. I personally have learned more on AR in the past few months than I would have learned in five years without it. There are some amazing and talented people here willing to share the knowledge and tools that have made them successful. There are not many business fields where people are so willing to share success secrets. That is what makes real estate a great profession and what makes ActiveRain an amazing forum!!!

Good Luck!!

Welcome, Peg, There is a ton of information on here about all different parts of the industry.  I suggest checking out some of the groups, particularly the Newbies group - you will find lots of great information there about how to get started.

Welcome, Dear. Jump right in as I did yesterday. It is great to share, and get support from our like minded community.

Hello and welcome to AR, Peg!  Best way to start is read a lot, comment on the blogs, and return comments left on yours.  Soon you'll have a network of professionals that you can call your friends and won't mind doing business with.  Enjoy and if you have any questions, blog them in the Newbie Group and we'll try to help.  Glad to have you!

Peg welcome to AR.  Stay active.  Write what you want and read the blogs.  I have had business come my way from AR, but the best is the friendships and the learning that I have had in the last year.

Time

 I am also new to AR. I am just now trying to learn my way around and reading all the good posts. It is so time consuming there's not enough hours in the day to read everything.

Hi Peg:  Welcome to Active Rain.  Charles would be a great one to guide you through the beginnings of your time with Active Rain.  I have read many of the posts that Charles has written.  They are intelligently written, and just full of good stuff.  Tell him Karen Anne said Hi !   Welcome... and thanks for being brave enough to make your first blog post.

Also, a good thing you might do, whenever someone comments on one of your blog posts, is to comment back on their comment, and perhaps thank them for reading your post.  It's called "reciprocating..." and is a good way to get to know people.   Take care...      Karen Anne
