Reaching the Number 10 Spot in San Antonio, TX

Active Rain Leader Board
Just a few weeks ago, I surpassed the 100,000 point mark in Active Rain, and celebrated just for that moment, because I had a higher goal in mind. I wanted to reach that Number 10 Spot in San Antonio, and this morning I was able to accomplish that milestone. It looked like an impossible task when I first started back in January 2011, I knew if I blogged consistently that I could reach my that goal which I had set for myself when I reached the Top 50 in our city a couple of months back.

Now my eyes are on being in the Top 5 percent for the city, and to reach that goal I will need more than 200,000 points. I believe I will be able to accomplish this new goal before Christmas time. How is that possible? I plan to enter as many contests as I can, and consistently blog on a regular basis for all of my supporters and my reading audience too.

Blogging has become fun and exciting, and I look forward to sharing things that I have learned on a daily basis. Two of the toughest things I still need to accomplish on my “To Do List” are to make more videos, and make those market statistics reports for our local market area. Look for more Localism posts in the near future too.

Jerry,

                I think you are doing an amazing job. I look forward to more localism blogs from you. I was just in your fair city yesterday and it was such a short trip but how I miss San Antonio. I will probably write a couple of blogs about my trip this week!

Thanks. Wandanna. I am glad you look forward to my daily blogs. It's becoming more of a challenge since I want to blog on other platforms now too. I blogged on Trulia and I need to start my Word Press soon.

Your San Antonio TX Real Estate Agent!!

That's pretty cool Jerry.  I changed from San Antonio to Schertz so I am actually number 1 there...it's smaller and easier to do since no one wants to claim those areas :)!  But...that's where  I concentrate my business so it made sense to place my blog there :)!  Congrats...keep on blogging and see if you can beat Shirley and Kristin...they're tough :)!!!

Thanks, Brenda. I appreciate your encouragement, and I have noticed that you choose to blog in Schertz instead of San Antonio. I know you will stay on top since you blog frequently. I have only the opportunity to actually speak with Shirley, but I do comment on Kristin and Shirley's posts.

It might take more than a year to serious challenge their top positions, but I know that Wayne is the only one above me, who blogs frequently enough to stay on top.

Now, that will take some doing, since it's a challenge sometimes just to get out one a day. I see some re-blogging 4 and 5 per day. I don't re-blog often unless I think is a quality topic.

Thanks again for your faith in me.
