January Blog Booster 2019 -

Success Ahead When You Challenge Yourself

 

 

 

January Blog Booster 2019 - pushing your Blogging Limits.

 

Start with learning about your ActiveRain Community by becoming familiar with the Founders' goals as stated in the Weltanschuung and the Community Guidelines. Two of many posts on these topics come from Fred Griffin presently on Leave of Absence and from Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 .

Then engage in the Community by reblogging another person's post. Next please profile a "newbie" member. Complete the first section of five by writing about a person you admire. Yes, you may use the same post in Margaret Rome's Kudos Challenge and get the points in both places!

(Open the E-Z  Endre Barath Spreadsheet to keep track as you progess. Thanks, Endre Barath, Jr. )

 

In each post, add a visual element - remembering about Copyright issues. Pay Attention to Lenn Harley (VA), RESPECT COPYRIGHT AT ALL TIMES!  Did you know that Lenn received five-figure settlements by challenging people who used her materials and did not stop when they were asked to do so? Be sure you don't infringe on Getty Images - which can cost $5000. for a six-month license to use - Getty sues at the drop of the proverbial hat! 

 

The second part is a bit more demanding -- at least one Chart, Graph, Infographic, video or slideshow, not plain images for these topics -- links take you to topic examples. These five are Section Two:

• Permanent Local Attraction, 
• Occasional Local Event,
• Read/Comment - 3 different Kathy Streib "What I Learned" Posts, 
• Read/Comment - 3 Friday Facebook Posts by Anita Clark   and 
• Read/Comment - 3 Bill/Liz Spear Tuesday Ambassador Posts.

 

Objective here is to push yourself so both content and appearance reflect what a great professional you are for your Clients needs. 

 

THEN --- the Bonus Section at the end. 

Just in case points interest you - LOL -

finish all three sections for 5000 points total!

 

• Your Choice - info on your specialty- real estate, lawyer, stager, etc.
• Your Choice - teach your Readers about your job and its benefits to Clients

Suggestions ONLY – Tailor the BONUS to YOUR own preference.
