Do You Have An Idea For A Contest Or Challenge? Yes, I Do!!!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Brooks and Dunphy Real Estate DRE 00527512

My “Idea” is one I used before (because is was a good one): What was your BEST post that wasn’t FEATURED but should have been???

 

This is a CHALLENGE, not a contest. And multiple entries are encouraged if you had multiple posts passed over.

 

The SUBJECT MATTER is wide open, as long as it is somehow related to the Real Estate Industry and/or of INTEREST to us. Like I said, WIDE OPEN.

 

Everything is a learning opportunity, even FUN. Therefore, the participant is the final arbiter of what and how the material is presented.

 

And the sooner this CHALLENGE is presented, the better.

 

I would be HAPPY to host this CHALLENGE, but, of course I would also want to participate. It seems that my best posts are almost always over-looked. Not complaining, just saying…..

 

The submitted entries DO NOT  need to be EXACT duplicates of the original posts. You may spruce it up a little as long as it is still recognizable as your post.

 

The AR Contest Team can determine the prizes, but I think that the winner should be FEATURED.

 

 This is an entry in the May contest from Debe Maxwell, CRS

Bill- sounds like a good idea and it would be interesting seeing what posts members would pick of their own to be featured.

Oh George Souto Your post wasn't that crappy. Just touch it up a little. 

Nice to see you. When I read Jeff Dowler, CRS 's post about "knowing" you for 10 years and FINALLY picking up the phone, I felt ashamed that I hadn't called either.

Hi Kathy Streib Since you are on the favored list, I know this doesn't happen to you very often, but  I bet you could dredge up one or two for us.

Hi Bill

This is something everyone could easily do, and no doubt we all have posts we think are great but didn't get the recognition we thought they should. Thanks for the entry!

Hello Bill, did they ever make a contest from your idea?

Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day 2018 and ...

 

My latest post about reaching out to ActiveRain members that are following me at the AR network, your name showed up #193 on my list ;o)

 

Please not: The number order has nothing to do with who's my favorite, I am going from the first page of followers and I am on page 56 and there approx 12 members per page.

Hi Robert Vegas Bob Swetz No, not yet, but hope springs eternal.

I have no idea what number you are, or even if you follow me, but who cares?

Nice to "see" you.

Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised when one of my posts gets featured. And sometimes the posts linger in my draft folder, then as soon as I "publish", BAM, a gold star! Just saying it's no telling what goes on behind the AR scene.

Well Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty I have an idea about that: some people are on their radar AND they just happen to post at the right time.
