I've been a member of ActiveRain© for more than a year now.

I HAVE to give credit to some of the members who have inspired
me, and have been an example of a CLASS act in this real estate network.

Lenn Harley, Broker, Homefinders.com in Maryland and Virginia

Lenn not only knows how to present listings very well... but she is a CONSISTENTLY professional
blogger....A CLASS ACT if I have ever seen one!

 

 

 

 

 

 Margaret Rome- Baltimore, Md.-HomeRome.com

Margret is just like Lenn...CONSISTENT and a professional...... humor is NOT far from her if she sees
something that makes her smile....and just take a LOOK at ANY of her listings!!!    AWESOME!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Elizabeth Nieves - Bilingual Raleigh - Durham North Carolina Real Estate Team

Elizabeth and I just met several months ago, BUT what an impact she has made on me!!! Shge is
one of the Moderators in,"Christianity and Real Estate" . With all the positive emotional energy she
has, she will make a GREAT impact in this world for the real estate industry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jonathan Washburn

Jonathan impacted me when the group,"Christianity and Real Estate" was almost the subject
of a lawsuit over a year ago. We talked on the phone about Fair Housing issues and what we
could do to make the group in compliance with the rules.... He kept watch over us as this was
happening and assured me he wanted only the BEST for us as a group. And that meant follow-
ing the laws of the land...whatever they might be.......       In my book, Jonathan is AWESOME!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jeff Belonger -- The FHA Expert.com -- New Jersey mortgage -- FHA mortgages

I met Jeff on the phone while were BOTH going through some trying times in ActiveRain©. His maturity and
stick to it attitude were an inspiration to me. Jeff is a professional I am GLAD to be associated with him!

 

These are ONLY 5 of the MANY people who have inspired me these past months and over the past year.
Here is a PARTIAL list of SOME of the other ActiveRain© members who have touched me in a POSITIVE way:

• Diane Rice's South Suburban Illinois & Indiana Real Estate
• Bob Sloop, Consultant, Indianapolis, IN - Indianapolis, IN
• Jason Price - Altoona, FL
• Sara Washburn - Bellevue, WA
• George Souto - Middletown, CT
• Bob Stewart - ActiveRain - Bellevue, WA
• Judi Barrett - Idabel, OK
• Lisa Hill (Daytona Beach REALTOR®) - Daytona Beach, FL
• Brian Brady- America's #1 Mortgage Broker - San Diego, CA
• Hugh Krone Sussex County NJ Century 21 Realtor - Hamburg, NJ
• Diane Velikis Luzerne County Real Estate - Luzerne, PA

 

This list is in NO WAY according to ANY kind of importance...... I just cut and pasted
the names and links to each members profile or blog address. THESE are people who
care about life and the real estate profession. They show it by making posts that have
both CLASS and professionalism....

My HAT is off to ALL of them, and to others I have NOT mentioned...... You know who you are...
hehehehehe.....

 

 

Here are the top 10 posts of my submitted
articles that have been read the most so far:

1. Comments, CLICKS, Featured Posts and MORE POINTS!! 816 Click throughs
2. Giving to Those in Need....... a way to feel good! 670 Click throughs
3. Top Posts of the Month - August 2007 657 Click throughs

8. Active Rain BLOGS are kickin BUTT in GOOGLE searches..... 499 Click throughs
9. Home Buying Seminars.....what do you think of them? 443 Click throughs
10. Are the times getting you down........? 428 Click throughs

 

(A "Click through" is when a person finds the post in a search
or in your TAGS and 'CLICKS' it to read the whole post. )

Some of these posts were featured, most weren't.... this just goes
to show you....the ActiveRain© Moderators cannot find ALL the good
posts in the network. We are ALL human after all, right?

So, if you divide this all out..... 349 posts divided by 84035 Blogging
points, not including this one, that works out to almost 241 points per post.......

I read another members post where they had done the math on the posts
they did.... and the points worked out to about 230 points per post for
that individual..... I guess I am doing well in comparison......

So, if you think all you are going to get is just 200 points per post...if your
posts are written WELL and engage the readers you target.... you WILL GET
MORE POINTS per post in the LONG run... and you will RISE in your city,
county and state rankings...

Just KEEP at it and learn how to do things better and better as you go...
you DO NOT have to start out being a WONDERFUL, well read blogger
right off the starting line.... be consistent and LEARN as YOU GO......

 

 

You are not successful when you reach your goals in life... you are
successful by taking action to reach those goals...
