www.homerome.comHi folks. My good friend and fellow ActiveRainer, Margaret Rome, is getting close to launching her first book "Real Estate the Right Rome Way". I'm sure most of you know Margaret but if not....stop over and check out her profile.

Margaret and I joined AR at just about the same time, July of 2006. In fact, as far as I can, tell we actually joined on the same day. Her first post and my first post were both on July 8, 2006.

Margaret and I have always had a connection. We are very much alike and handle our businesses the same. I still believe we were separated at birth. Here are a few similarities.

  1. We are both "solo" agents
  2. We both specialize in listings
  3. I have a TLW she has a TLH.
  4. We both have tempurpedic craftmatic adjustable beds!!!
  5. We are both soooooooo good looking.  

Anyway....Margaret is really wanting to get Seth Godin to review her book and maybe writReal Estate the Rome Waye a blurb on the jacket. So she decided to have a little contest to see who could come up with a good idea to get Seth's attention. My idea was to get as many Rainers as possible to place this phrase in their next post:  

Hey Seth Godin!!!! Come over and review Margaret Rome's new book"

I figure Seth has his Google alerts activated and if enough of us do this he will not be able to ignore us and will have to come over to see what's going on. If you are not familiar with Seth he is a master marketeer and a best selling author. Getting him to review Margaret's book would be HUGE!! 

So.....if you would, next post you write, just take a minute and copy/paste this phrase....

Hey Seth Godin!!!! Come over and review Margaret Rome's new book"

.....and place it at the bottom of your post. Or the top. Or the middle. Let's show Seth the power of the Rain. How simple is that?

Can I post my phrase somewhere aside from the Crap-A-Rama?

To answer the question: "Will it work in comments?"

Yes...It will. However, it works better in the post itself.

Just slid the phrase in somewhere. You could even put in parenthesis and watch it become a conversation starter in the comment section of your blog post :)

How about if Margaret creates a great Squidoo Lens about her book and give a part of the proceeds to charity in Squidoo. Seth Owns Squidoo and is huge on Charity.

Then after that she can join Triibes that Seth owns and create a profile and blog there about her book, then ask him to be her friend on his Triibes, and then perhaps he will take notice of her.

    2. I joined in 2006.  A couple of months after you though.  i was waiting for you to test it out first.
    3. I am married to a lovely wife.  I tell her that every day.
    4. I also have a Craftmatic adjustable bed with a Temperpedic mattress. (getting spooky)
    5. I am extremely good looking. (We must be related)

    Seth Godin has a private community at Ning called Triiibes.  All you have to do is get someone there to ask him.  He reads all of that email, posts, etc.  There are a significant number of Rainers on Triiibes. Anyone who knows Margaret could do it for you.

    BB- I see we aren't related at all :(

    1. We are both "solo" agents- I work as a team with my dad.
    2. We both specialize in listings- I like the buyers too
    3. I have a TLW she has a TLH.-Got this one in common, but that is it.
    4. We both have tempurpedic craftmatic adjustable beds!!! Sorry, no craftmatic in my house.
    5. We are both soooooooo good looking.  Sorry only good looking thing in my house is my wife & daughter.

    But, I did think of a few things we have in common....

    • I like to cook brownies and you like to eat them.
    • You used to live in MB and I live here now.
    • You work from your home office and I work in an office.
    • Both our states end with the letter A
    • Both our names contain the letters R & Y.

    So on second thought, maybe we are related..what do you think?
