Success in the Rain

Things are rocking at Headquarters today.  The warm weather has brought a little extra skip into everyone's step around here.  And by warm weather I mean it's currently 66°.

I am so in love with this Community....maybe I'm just being emotional today but the outpouring of love and support to one another on a wide variety of topics is leaving me wide-eyed.  Some of you spend hours on the phone with newbies and you feel honored that they called for help.  Absolutely admirable!

I hope everyone has a fantastic, rip-roaring, one of a kind weekend!  Let it Rain!!!!

David Artigliere (ARTI Home Inspections)
"After a month of becoming a Rain Maker and writing regular blogs and commenting on other ActiveRain blogs. One of the very first blogs I commented on was from a local Realtor. Just a few weeks later, I get a call for a big Home Inspection and find out the client was referred from this very Realtor! ActiveRain works!!!"

Shannon Coe (WR Properties)
"I have really enjoyed all of the posts on active rain, just getting the answers to many questions that I did not know how to ask. I love supporting fellow motivated agents around the country, it is great to hear about the different markets. Also I have received a referral directly from active rain. I love being a rain maker! I want to be #1 in My county, not just by luck but by hard work and reputations.

"Finding Active Rain has helped me tremendously in my business. I've learned so much in such a short time and continue to learn more from my colleagues each day as the industry evolves. From resources for agents and customers to humor and tips from industry affiliates, each day is a new learning experience. In this market, it's reassuring to know I'm not alone walking in the rain! Active Rain is a great resource for agents and affiliates, but most importantly, the customers we are trying to reach help."

Mark Taylor (Amerifirst Financial)
"Posted my first blog of any merit on Nov 20th. The goal was to show the power of AR in Google placement to my agent partners. My name Mark Taylor has to compete with Mark Taylor Residential Arizona - an apartment company with deep pockets and an aggressive internet department. Within 25 minutes my AR blog surpassed my website of 16 years and the apartment company that promotes hundreds of locations and spend thousands a month. I placed in the number one spot. 40 days later I am still there..."

"For me the thing I have benefited the most from since I joined Active Rain is the sense of community on here. I have learned more about establishing my online presence here than from any other source and I am grateful to the other members for sharing their knowledge and encouraging me to share mine."
