Calling Seth Godin!!!

Hi 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.

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

Anyway....Margaret is really wanting to get Seth Godin to review her book and maybe writ Real Estate the Rome Way e 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?

BB, I love it when a plan comes together (LOL). I am getting some very interesting e-mail (ROTFL). I must say, this is turning out to be a stellar marketing game! My fave yet. :-)

Holy crap!!!! 25 reblogs!!!

I believe this just might work for Margaret. I'll have to do some google searchs tomorrow to see how we rank.

C, I think you have created a monster. I haven't received ANY emails...good or bad.

And Jeremy you forgot to mention you ARE soooo good looking too.

I really appreciate everyone that has participated in this "marketing thingie" and I appreciate, as always, everyone who has taken the time to comment on my post. Thanks!!!!!

OK.....I'l be back.

BB- What a great idea! I wonder if Seth will hear about it? Or could someone just pick up the phone and call him directly?

Best,

Make that 26! But is there a limit on reblogs? The option seems to have disappeared.

OK. I guess I have to re-blog. But I think number 4 is venturing into the realm of "TMI" =P

I wonder if 31 reblogs(thus far) is a reblog record for AR?

Probably! :) if only we could get people to advertise for Active Rain itself on Stumble Upon now... With the crew missing at reblog world it's kind of bad timing to do these things i guess..

Hi BB I only found 27 re-blogs but I did leave the computer early...about 2am. I will keep looking so I can thank each one of you personally. What a group of amazing caring people!

It is time to leave Seth alone!
