Since Julie Ferenzi is a couple thousand miles away, we use a variety of methods to communicate.
Of course there's the old school telephone conversation. There's email and instant messaging as well. But my favorite is Video Chat. I'm on a Mac, so I'm using iChat and Julie is logging on via AIM on the PC. Today I recorded one of our sessions. I thought I'd record one of our sessions for a couple of reasons.
First, I wanted you to get to know Julie a little bit better. She's a Mother of four, so dealing with the pressures of starting out in real estate and finding time to deal with me and this Project Blogger event is a bit of a challenge at times.
Second, I wanted you to see how ideas are shared and how they progress through this Project Blogger event. A few days ago I presented a great website for creating online forms, WuFoo.com. Sunday night, Martin Rodriguez sent me a loan pre-qualification form to test. I obliged, of course, and in the process, an idea hit me.
Everyone's time is stretched, but with four kids, Julie's time is really stretched. She knows she needs to populate her Living In Plainfield real estate blog. And I know she doesn't have a lot of extra time. So my ideas are always going to lean toward reducing her involvement or creating blogging opportunities based on activities she already participates in. All this while making sure she actually gets to meet people in the process.
The Idea: A WuFoo "Broadcast Your Community Event" Form
The idea is community event posts that write themselves using the Wordpress blog's ability to create posts via email. This also gives Julie an excuse to go get face-to-face with local community leaders. That face-to-face is critical. Remember, this is about YEO! She provides a way to help them promote their events and everyone wins.
So, watch the video below, get to know us both a little better, and then go check out her new EVENTS form.
We'll let you know how this strategy works.
