Road to 300K in the Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Lake and Lodge Realty LLC

With this post I will surpass 300K points here in the Rain. For this milestone, I am giving myself a gold star. I had planned on writing an awesome thoughtful post that would leave everyone in awe and then reality hit. Short and Sweet gets the job done.

When I first started in Active Rain I was in a race with myself to hit that 100,000 milestone. I hit my 10 posts a week, spent way too much time reading others thoughts and with an occasional Featured Acrticle was conent on climbing the ladder to be the Featured Agent for my area.

By 200K by I was posting less but more meaningful posts. I still read around 50 posts a day as I learn more from you guys than any con-ed class. I have my subscribers and I am subscribed to a great group of people I always feel better for having read their posts. I like the rythym I am in now in the Rain. I check in at 4am and read afew and then when I am done for the day I read the rest. I have went from thinking re-bloggers were lazy to appreciating them for sharing what I missed first time through.

Bottom line I have enjoyed everyday in the Rain and thanks everyone of our contributing members for sharing their thoughts, successes and woes. It has made the journey to 300K a memorable one and totally enjoyable. Thanks for reading and best of luck in all you do.

Congratulations on reaching a milestone.  I'm coming back to AR after a few month absence.  Hoping the Introducing the Newbies will give the incentive to be more consistent in blogging.

Congrats on hitting a huge milestone! It looks like you've definitely evolved from your early days of blogging.  I did the same thing (just passed 400K).  It's funny how we change over time doing this stuff.  As long as we stay with it, it all pays off.

Congratulations on the milestone!  300K is certainly lots of comments and blog posts!  Your phone should be ringing off the hook!
