What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-June 21 to June 27, 2015

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain!  With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment.  It could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Dick GreenbergJune 16: Dick Greenberg    4-7-8= A Better Night’s Sleep

I missed this one while my family was in town, but thought we all could use this.

 

 

barbara todaroJune 21:  Barbara Todaro    Do You Know What I Know? I’m Sure You Know More Than I Know…..

Well, I do know that if I wanted to learn how best to market my business and keep my pipeline flowing, I would go to the pro…. Barbara Todaro!

debbie gartner Debbie Gartner    Something new I learned about Facebook ads.

You can always count on Debbie to share something with us that will help us with our marketing efforts.  She did it again!

 

lottie kendall June 22:  Lottie Kendall  Do You Have a Favorite Word,One That Inspires You?

This is a fun post and I hope you’ll head to Lottie’s post and share your favorite word with Lottie.

patricia feagerJune 23:  Patricia Feager    My Personal AR Heroes

No, it’s not about who has the most points but Patricia speaks of true heroes we have here at ActiveRain.

 

paul hendersonPaul Henderson   Starting today….

 

Starting today, we should make this our daily mantra!

 

Mike TizzanoJune 24: Mike Tizanno   Businesses That Treated Us Well June Edition.

 

There’s so much about this post.  Mike is highlighting businesses in his area who were a support to his family during a personal time of need.  I encourage you to read his post, but I also hope you’ll go to his following post Another Bittersweet Day is Coming and lend your support.

 

joe petrowskyJoe Petrowsky   Have You Ever Had to Deal With Poison Ivy?

 

Larry gets it all of the time, so I had him watch the video.  Summer’s here, so you know what else we tend to get! Better watch the video!

 

kristin hamiltonJune 25: Kristin Hamilton   Flying Drone Causes Fire Fighting Planes Grounded in Big Bear Fire.

 

This highlights another reason why the drone-craze needs to be addressed for public safety and the safety of our first responders.

nicole doty June 26:  Nicole Doty    PicPlayPost App for iPhone and Android

I have this app but had forgotten about it. It’s a great way to highlight properties or just have some fun.

andrea swiedler June 27: Andrea Swiedler    A Wacking Good Contest Idea for ActiveRain.

Oh yes, let’s see what kind of entries Andrea will get!  Or, which one do you have?

michelle connorsMichele Connors Could Your Town Benefit From This Idea? AR Pay It Forward.

What a great idea this is. Agents can suggest this when their clients are relocating and in areas with a high volume of part-time or vacation rentals, this is one way to help pay it forward.

 

 

Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!

As for the boat today.....

Pouring rain.

The forcast was for the rain to start during the evening and rain all day today, so we left after eating dinner last night and came home.  No sense sitting there in the rain!
