The long and short of it.... Y.E.O. works!

Real Estate Agent with john greene Realtor 475.137677

 I am Jeff Turner's apprentice in Active Rain's Project Blogger, and I have to tell you... I am amazed by the results of my efforts in this project!

Today I finally got the phone call I have been waiting for.

I was handed 2 listings, by my office manager Jay Gardiner, to handle for our clients Advantage Financial Group.

2 listings!  Can you believe that?!  He actually said that he may have more for me by the end of the week!

Because of Active Rain... and Jeff's coaching, I have gained the confidence I was searching for in this  industry. This forum was the platform that lent me the cumulative knowledge and experiences of a over 25,000 real estate professionals and associates!

By the way... I also received a contact from a buyer searching for a home who found me as a result of my content on Localism! 

That is huge!  I have the ability to attract BUYERS in this difficult market as a result of marketing myself on both my local page Living in Plainfield, Active Rain and Localism?!  You better believe it. 

Jeff wrote a post not too long ago about a phrase he coined called YEO.  You Engaging Others. 

It's as simple as that. 

Rather than focusing on SEO; if you focus on how YOU can ENGAGE OTHERS... you become a magnet!

To everyone questioning the effort they are putting forth, I have only this to say.

"If you build it, they will come" ~ taken from A Field of Dreams 1989

Thanks Jeff.  Thanks Active Rain.  I owe you one!

Julie, congrats on the new business! I'm continually amazed by the quality of your posts and you scored big points with me by quoting one of my favorite movies of all time! Great job on the blogging, etc. You're leap years ahead of many agents who've been around for years, maybe even decades! Great job!
