Hellllooo May!  Where is this year going?!?! A new month brings along a new challenge.  I know you're up for it because, well let's face it, you're a Rainer after all!

We're mixing in some oldies along with new challenges that will hopefully keep you connected, help your business, bring in the clicks, expand your brand....I could keep going here....

May's Cloudburst of You

15 Blog Posts
You know the drill, within the month of May you must publish 15 blog posts.
100 Comments
The cherry on top of any blog post, your comments go a LONG way with Rainers. Try and find some newer members to spread the love around a bit.
5 Market Reports or FAQ's
Informative posts on specific markets go a long way.  Do your business a favor and pump out 5 this month. Here's a template if you'd like to take a look at an example.  If you're not an agent, write up 5 FAQ posts.  Use these when clients email questions.  "Great questions Mrs. Smith, I have a blog written about that very subject"....  
3 Hyperlocal Posts - Memorial Day, Mother's Day & Millennials
Hyperlocal is your best chance at getting indexed by Google so get narrow in your geographical location when blogging.  With Memorial Day & Mother's Day coming up this month, those should already be on yoru blogging calendar. Millennials continues to be a buzz word so write a post incorporating that keyword into it.
5 Handwritten Notes
You may be thinking "What is this, 1985?!" alas ladies and gents it is not.  But that doesn't mean a handwritten note to a past client, loved one or Rainer doesn't get treasured.

 

Good luck!  Once you've completed the above tasks, be sure to fill out the form below.  In early June, 3,000 points will be awarded to you.

Good morning Michael. Would love to participate, but the market reports would be a challenge for me, but everything else will be pretty easy.

Make it a great weekend!

Hi Michael.  How will you do market reports as a home inspector?

I guess you can write about FAQs instead of market reports.

The hyperlocal and market reports are just not in me.  So it looks like I'm out on this one...

I LOVE the handwritten note part!!  I have a client who sends me handwritten notes along with her payment and I always smile when I receive it in the mail.  It's just such a special touch.

Handwritten notes are a big hit - and we can combine with mothers' day wishes. Great idea - thanks for doing this
