RainCamp Dallas - Day 2 was THE BEST!

 

 


RainCamp Dallas

I noticed when I arrived at RainCamp Dallas this morning that a LOT of people that were there yesterday were not present today.



Having just been to RainCamp Houston in December, I thought that I would show up today... see what was going on.... and then head south.



NOT!



If you missed RainCamp today.....

you missed out BIG TIME!



We  went over how to write to specific audiences.

Buyers

Seller

Other Agents

Sphere of Influence

 


How to create interest, promote your blog,  and what to do when you can’t think of anything to blog about!



Now you may be thinking, I can read a ton of posts about that without going to RainCamp.  ABSOLUTELY. You can also learn Spanish with a CD while driving around in your car. But spending time in a Spanish speaking environment is how you REALLY learn Spanish.



Today RainCamp taught me that  for the past  9 months that I have been on ActiveRain, I have really just been playing around. I’ve not been focused. Now it’s time to get serious.

 



It’s been fun....

...that won’t change.



But I can focus and have fun too!



I also found out that I’ve been doing a few things RIGHT. That’s always nice.



But best of all was the ability to hear all of these successful real estate agents share what works for them. 



I felt really blessed to have the opportunity to sit and chat with Karen Otto, Bob Stewart, and Steve Shatsky.



EVEN experienced bloggers HAD to have walked away with something worth their time and effort for having been there today.



Before I go, I just want to tell you a few things about some of the folks that I met at RainCamp that I subscribed to BEFORE RainCamp.



RAINCAMP Girls!

 

Paula Hamilton: Her eyes twinkle just like they do in her profile picture. She is transparent. WYSIWYG!


Marilyn Boudreau: is a true Southern Belle. She’s every bit as much of a lady as she appears to be in her beautiful photos!

 

Teral McDowell: If you’ve ever read one of her posts and wished that you could just reach over and give her a hug. She’s the same way in person. I took advantage of that and got several hugs from this dear friend.



Deb Brooks: Just like her blog, Debra is high energy, positive and just plain fun! And let’s not leave out VERY funny! I love to laugh!

 



I could go on and on about all the wonderful people that I met that I will soon be subscribed too. But I don’t want to push it over the 500 word thing that Bob talked about.



What’s that you ask?!



GO TO RAINCAMP! Ask Bob! He’ll tell ya!



Who knows what else you’ll get from him when you go!  0:O)

We got a GREAT laugh!

Joni, I'm SO JEALOUS!!!  I keep trying to bribe the powers that be at Active Rain to hold one here in Scottsdale, AZ.  I LOVE to cook and have promised them all a great home cooked meal.  Maybe I need to up my bribe, LOL. 

I'm so glad you learned even more, got to network and meet some people live and in person, AND have fun.  I'm looking forward to attending my first Raincamp - if they'll come to Scottsdale, LOL.

Joni - congratulations on this feature - and you are sooooo right - Dallas Rain Camp was a blast!  I live in the area and hurried home the first day because we knew the storms were coming.  I can not imagine why anyone would not come back the second day as the first day was good enough to assure me i did not want to miss anything.  I enjoyed the second day more also.  Great people and great material!

Peter and Linda: You are going to have a PHANNtastic time! No doubt! ♥

Frank and Karen: Oh how wonderful! I can't wait to see YOUR post and YOUR pics!!

Thank you Sally. Maybe they will have one in Hawaii next year. Bet it would SELL OUT if they told us to book TODAY!

Steve: I am about to subscribe. I will not be a stranger! Your presentation was AMAZING!

Sid: This was my 2nd one too! It was THAT good!

Peg: You will NOT be disappointed! I am excited FOR you!

Steve: He was so cute. I would react the same way if I were in HIS town and an earthquake hit!

Bob: I am glad that I went to Day 1 too! I wouldn't want to miss EITHER day.

LOL @ Gwynn

Gary: I am a Native Dallas Girl.... I'll be BACK! You can't get rid of me that easy! I grew up there and have friends and family all over the metroplex. Lots of reasons to visit! :O)

Glad to hear things are still going well for AR.  Looking forward to RainCamp in Orlando this summer.  Learning is a continous process, AR is the best community for "down in the trenches" experiences.

Glad you enjoyed it, I love the photos. Best part of Raincamp is meeting the people IRL.

Glad it was focused on how to improve your blogging, that is why most folks go to learn more indepth teaching on blogging.

I was lucky enough to attend Rain Camp in Atlantic City!  Thanks for sharing your Dallas Camp with us.  It was so great to meet folks I'd only met online and I learned so much!  I look forward to reading more from the folks you mentioned!

If you are on AR, you must attend the Raincamp. Great value and no pushing you to buy anything, good information from serious people who love to share their experiences and knowledge. Last time they were in my area I was there, next time they come... I will be there again! Yes, Joni, tell us what you learned while there... good blogging material I am sure.

Joni,

So glad you had such a great time and learned so much on top of it!  I went the 2nd one they ever had and was not really very engaged yet so didn't recognize or know anyone yet.  I can't wait to go again when it gets close to me!

Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing!

Joni, it is great highlight of the Dallas Rain Camp. I am jealous that you got to meet Karen Otto in person. I also remember having a brief conversation with Marilyn Boudreau at the Houston Rain Camp. I asked her if her name in Cindy, and she said "No, but it is nice to meet you" LOL

Joni - Make RainCamp sound like I better get on a plane and get to one!  Have been told they do not hold them in Hawaii so will have to travel the great blue!  You touched on some hot topics for me that would make it worth it.  Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
