Hi Everyone,
Just a few important notes about the Greater Grand Rapids Group....
First of all a big Welcome & Congratulations to all who have joined and contributed articles within the past several months.
We're over now 50 members strong and have together written over 700 articles that focus largely on events, listings and real estate information about West Michigan!
That's some good SEO & great google juice!
These are valuable contributions and are going a long way towards making real estate professionals of a variety of persuasions relevant in the online discussion about real estate issues.
I'm seeing your posts online more & more...
Just a sampling; last week a quick search turned up Tammy Stone, Robert Brown, Ethan Dozeman, Sue Prins, Don Phelan, Gary White, Mary Bigelow, Kevin Fase, Steve Volkers, Terry Westbrook and Dan Iller on the FIRST few pages of a number of search engine results for some pretty 'expensive keyword searches.' And you're doing it for FREE by posting Relevant local content! Way to go!
I'd also like to encourage you to attend the Blogging Continuing Education Seminars which are taking place in Grand Rapids, Mi on the 21st & the 28th of this Month, (MAY) at the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors...660 Kenmoor SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.
These courses are open to Everyone in the State of Michigan! We are getting calls about the classes from other business owners OUTSIDE of real estate who want to know how to do this! This is a great way to promote your business & help your clients to succeed. Invite them...let them know about this.
Although they won't get Continuing Education Credit (the State only grants education credit for real estate license holders)...you will have given them the gift of knowledge. Something which is priceless!
These 2 courses, Blogging Basics for Real Estate Professionals (K1061) & Blogging Ethics (K1062) for Real Estate Professionals have placed us on the cutting edge of the new methods which are re-defining our profession & business in general.
It will also be a great time to network with fellow bloggers in our local area. Remember...the power of WEB 2.0 is the power of Attraction, Sharing & Influence! There is a change within the business paradigm that has never been experienced before. Enlightened understanding and participation is key!
You may find it interesting to read this article about a Nintendo employee who didn't understand what she needed to write about in her blog...
This is your opportunity to not only learn (you will get 4 hours of Credit if you are a broker or agent) but also to discuss and explore emerging areas of concern with regards to ethics and legal guidelines with other professionals. New bloggers are hungry to hear what you have to say!
Doors open at 7:30 a.m. with class at 8:00 a.m. Registration is not required but is advised. To download a registration form, click on this link or read this post...
We're looking forward to this gathering of Members of the present & future real estate blogging community! We hope you can join us!

Not a member of the group, but that won't stop me from thanking you, as usual, for the kind words you said about us. This time it was William's blog. Have been dreadfully swamped but want to let you know how much we appreciate it.
