Just a short note to the skeptics...blogging WORKS! I don't know why I don't do it more often because I KNOW it works. I am closing my THIRD Active Rain deal in 9 months due to the fun practice of blogging.

My first one was when my husband signed me up on here to enhance my web presence, but I didn't use AR at all. One day I opened my e-mail and found an Active Rain contact from a former client who had moved to Iceland and then Germany and lost my info. She called me and had me do a quick transaction with money in pocket.

Then I started blogging. Before you know it...I got a phone call from someone wanting to flip houses. He bought one and we closed it. He fixed it and now it's under contract at full price and we are closing the end of this month.

That's number three... Did I mention that he wants ANOTHER house to replace that one right away? That will be transaction number 4...I have been busy with running the company, but I will be sure to blog more and get some lovely winter results. THANKS ACTIVE RAIN!

Lania,  Thanks for the report!  This is very encouraging.  I just started but I can see how it can work.  :)

Must be a Colorado thing to get all those referrals in a short period of time.  But really I am happy for you.  Keep up the good work.

Working my first deal because of blogging here.  Its amazing, the client actually learned what he needed to know before I we started out all because he read my blog and then called me!

Thanks everyone!

Rosemary: No, it's not a Colorado thing. The market is really slow here and as I said, one was a former client who found me here and the other is just ONE PERSON doing the three deals...

Fran: It DOES make the one giving the referral the referee in most cases, doesn't it? :-)

Lania - I really needed to see that in print.  I am new (just a few months) at blogging and was beginning to wonder if the time spent was going to be worth it.  Yesterday I did receive a lead from Florida that I hope will turn into a transaction.

By the way you live in a beautiful part of the country.  My wife and I visited the area about 9 years ago when our first grand daughter was born.  We loved Pikes Peak.  I wore out my T-shirt that said Guard Rails are for wimps or something like that.

Great Blog

Congratulations show off! I'm happy for you, but I've only had one deal close via A.R. but I am working on my second.

Thanks Dave...you gotta come back and you will NOT recognize the place. Talk about growth. I know this is wrong for a re professional to say, but I wish Colorado Springs had kept that small town feeling. Call me if you visit again!

:-) Dena...you'll get the second and the third and so on... I didn't mean to show off, I just wanted to encourage some of the people I had invited that I don't see blogging. It really does work!
