This Active Rain Stuff is Starting to Work Me Thinks


People are Starting to Find Me and Active Rain has got to be the Reason


In the past week, I have received two phone calls.  The first one was Cartwheeling Computerfor a newly arrived Soldier looking for a rental and another was from a Soldier looking to purchase a home in the distant future.  As is customary, I asked both how they found me.  

The first Soldier found me by typing in the area he wanted to live in and my website popped up which is very cool.  Now why do I think that Active Rain had something to do with that?  Well, all of my blog posts link to my website which I believe raises it up in the Google ranks.  Since I don't do a lot with my website other than link to it from my blogging, one has to wonder why in the world it would show up when a person Googled a specific area.  I do believe that with the SEO tips I have learned from a few people here in the Rain and my consistent blogging, (way more than in the past), that may have made my website a teensy bit more popular to Google...

The second Soldier called me yesterday and has a while to go before he can purchase, but no problem....always got to be working on that future income.  I have a post to write about that situation too...but more on that later.  Anyhoo...I asked and the Soldier told me he found me on Facebook!  Really?!  I have a Facebook page and a business page, but I don't do anything with them but post my Active Rain posts to them.  I haven't figured it all out yet, but at least my posts show up there.  The Soldier told me he was specifically looking for a Realtor® who was familiar with VA loans.  Well, a few months ago, I wrote a couple of blog posts about VA Loans and how they work...

So, Me thinks This Active Rain Stuff is Starting to Work....I am a teeny bit (A LOT) excited about it....

Happy Computer

That is just so great Brenda. I got 2inquiries myself last week from my website and it never gets old. Turns out one of them grew up on the same street as my daughter's softball coach. Good luck with both of your new leads!

GGreat job, Brenda. The more you blog, the more your hardwork will pay off. Just imagine after a collection of 4-5 years worth of local realestate info, how much more you would be from here?
