Home Stager

 

   For quite a while my fellow home-stagers have heard me talking about Activerain.  Finally they asked me to do a presentation.  We startedwith the ABC's of AR, for example how to join,etc. I guided them through the entire process. I made them aware that this is mostly how I get my business. And have learned valuable lessons from others experiences. AR to me has been part of my business since day #1.

  I remember when I was invited to join ActiveRain , I had NO IDEA ! what a BLOG was??? so, I learned and I made it part of my presentation. My Collegue stagers were fascinated ! We covered whats a blog, how to sign up  and then how to blog , covered joining the different groups. I feel like Im paying it Forward to AR, because of all I have acquired from it!

The Meeting was a great success!!!

Thanks AR

If only everyone understood the power of the Rain, it really is incredible.

Good job spreading the word Fernando, the more the merrier!  I've learned so much on AR.

But what really inspired me to comment were those fantastic looking cupcakes!  Yum!

How lucky are they!  Remember how confusing it was when you first started...they have a headstart because of you! I wish I had someone on the inside showing me the ropes when I started.

I hope your fellow stagers realize how helpful you are being.  I had heard of blogging on AR, but it took about 6 months before I really "got it."  Congrats on your presentation!

Fernando, That's fabulous!  Did you think when you signed on you'd someday be teaching about it?  And oh, I could use a cup cake!!

Oh Fernando,

Great idea, I wish I had someone like you when I first started! I need a teacher almost every day for something on the computer!  Yummy looking cupcakes too.

P.S. I hope I get to your neck of the woods someday, I would love to meet you!

That's wonderful Fernando!  I can't wait to meet you in person and taste one of those famous cupcakes.  You are an artist!  I'm glad you shared your AR knowledge with your local chapter.  I look forward to seeing them here!
