ActiveRain and hitting the 500k mark! | Dancing in the Rain... by Lauren Selinsky

 

I LOVE ACTIVERAIN and love to Blog for many reasons. First, it keeps me busy when I can't sleep and out of the refrigerator. I did lose 4lbs., but it didn't make the top 5 things that happened. LOL ~

Typically,  I get a  nice cup of tea and or a Perrier. Depending if it is a cold night here in the OC and have started the year out at my desktop in a corner committing to a blog a night before midnight. (Yes! I am a nightowl, but keeping after midnight for a good movie).

 

But I would like to share with you

THE TOP 5 THINGS that happened while hitting the 500k mark.

 

1) I have become the "local expert" for all my localism, local expert and  area specialist  blogs of events, school and city activities as well here on AR.

2) I have learned so much from members that I follow with ins and outs of what works and what doesn't.

3) New friends forever here on AR and being a boutique firm it is nice to spend time with true friends in the business.

4) Found my title and escrow company at AR and have become close friends. (So, close I listed their 1.3M home)

5) My business has grown. The blogging has put me on the map with buyers and sellers and throughout Southern CA and across the globe.

 

Now, I don't have to pay the $19.99 monthly fee either,  which is a nice "perk".

 

Now, let's dance in the rain.....

I am reciprocating as well.  I am working with quite a few people from southern California.  I have been doing a few 1031's into 4plx units for about $400k. My new benchmark on the Boise Idaho economy is that in November 2016, Toll Brothers paid cash for the entire inventory of homes and land for one of the largest other builders in our area.  That is going to be my next blog. ;)

Hey Quentin Delvigne I use a lot of social media. Instagram has been my top producing leads. Easy to use and  I will be blogging about it as my fave along with AR. Local advertising has been a big generator of business and with that are FB pages.

Following you now and wish you all the success.

Hey Lauren, Thanks a lot for the tips. Local ads are definitely the best way to go in my experience, especially on Facebook with targeted ads. Do you also have a professional blog? 


 


I can't wait to read your blog article.

Julie Larson Realtor® Sarasota you can get to the 500k in 1.5 years. If you blog consistently. I was consistent and then got super busy and didn't balance my time and life of course. I think I actually took a break with personal stuff in my life. So, it took me about 2.5 years.
