Benefits of Being Found on Page One of Google

By
Real Estate Agent with Brown Realty, 210-789-4216, TREC #0492321

I was totally surprised to get a call today from one of the casting specialist for the TV Show, "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?". Naturally, I asked her how did she find me, and why she decided to give me a call about an opportunity to be in the "Specialty Show" for Military members and their families.

Military Relocation ProfessionalStephanie was looking a someone who worked with military relocation for military members and their families, and she found me online. That's one of the benefits of being found on page one of Google. I have been blogging through Active Rain since 2011, and many of my blogs still show up on the first or second page of Google.

I also remember being interviewed by a representative from NAR® when they were looking to start the Military Relocation Professional Certification. Again, I asked her how did she find me, and the representative told me she found me online. Consistent blogging will get you there and keep you on page one of Google. There have been many other occasions where someone has called me about something that I wrote about and published online through Active Rain blogging. There are definitely benefits to being found on page one of Google.

Getting back to the call this afternoon from Stephanie with the Casting Department for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" I want to share her email with all military members or anyone who wants an opportunity to be on the show.

"Hey Jerry!

Pleasure talking with you today! Again, my name is Stephanie and I am with the Casting Department at Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. 

We are currently casting for a specialty Armed Forces week and specifically looking to reach Veterans, active military, and military family members. This is a wonderful opportunity for some of the brave men and women who have served our country as well as their family members to possibly win a lot of money.

Please refer back to the attached flyer and send me the requested info to start the application process. Feel free to forward it on to whomever you think might be interested and eligible in your network too! We want to reach as many people as possible. The flyer describes everything they need to know about getting the ball rolling on the application process.

Here is a link to the Armed Forces Week last season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGs2BMv7dy4&list=PLS802pZZhbFcdIAb_04y3T9VUzHSSlh_d&index=23

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 323-762-2617 or email me back here. 

Thank you so much and have an amazing rest of your day!"

Really, how cool is that? Great story and I hope one of your contacts gets the million.

I was on a kids TV show a long time ago and I got yelled at by the host for looking behind my seat all the time at our loot bag of prizes. Pretty funny. 

Jun 03, 2016 09:11 PM
Jerry Newman

Lol, Scott. I may have been looking at the bag of prizes too. No reason for the host of the show to get upset with you. Anyway, I am looking forward to my upcoming interview.

That's pretty cool, Jerry Newman! I once was contacted by a casting agent for "America's Got Talent" because they were looking for a group of hockey moms to perform, and she found my Youtube video "Clean Hockey Gear.AVI" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSA1BaJiAJ8

What neat video, Janelle. You got lots of views on that YouTube video. How did it go on the show with "America's Got Talent"?
