commenting: WHEN YOU VISIT MY POST YOU GET ALL THE COURTESIES OF THE HOUSE
- 01/01/12 06:36 AM
I don't care if we agree or disagree, I do insist that we communicate and share. By using dialog, we can take any issue and bring it to the surface for examination in the light of reality. There, the truth will join us and either set us free or allow us to proceed. Being transparent, open and practicing courtesy supports the premise
TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF AND SIT A SPELL
On my blog or posts, you get to speak up and share. I want to know what you are thinking, feeling and what your point of view is. You see I … (7 comments)

commenting: DOES YOUR CLIENT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS
- 12/26/11 06:54 AM
I ask this with one thing in mind. If you are blogging about a current or most recent transaction, then perhaps you shouldn't unless of course it doesn't matter. Only your would know whether it does or does not. Most of the time, we all share some stories that enhance the Real Estate experience. However, some get pretty specific
IS THAT ME YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?
Wouldn't it be odd if your current or recent past client saw themselves in a post that was ....well lets just say not glowing with information? It is not hard for them to be put … (11 comments)

commenting: TAKE TWO POSTS AND CALL ME IN THE MORNING
- 12/26/11 02:09 AM
I blog, post and comment daily, weekly monthly and all year on all sorts of topics and subjects. If anyone ever wanted to know something about me, I casually refer them to the Internet where they can assess to their hearts content whatever they are looking for
I AM READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO HELP
The results have been predictable and above average. When I meet up with someone to transact, they already know about me and this helps move us into a trust mode. From there, anything can be done.
YOU MUST HAVE INTERNET PRESENCE
If one is not on … (7 comments)

Alan, I have thoroughly enjoyed your posting, blogging and commenting over this past year. Your giving of the gift of your self has never failed to have a meaning and good gesture. I want to say that your comments often get me to smile, gut laugh and participate more here in the Rain

commenting: TRYING TO GET INTO THE TOP ACTIVERAIN 50 IN MY AREA IS COMPETITIVE
- 11/21/11 04:54 AM
I happened to approach the top 50 mark in my blogging sphere and noticed that for weeks, I was able to see it, but not taste it. It remained illusive but within reach. I found it interesting and figured ordinary blogging will bring about me moving ahead. However, that was not the case. A couple of times now, I entered into the coveted 50 sphere only

commenting: VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE POSTS BLOGGING & COMMENTING
- 11/08/11 03:23 AM
One of the reasons I like visiting ActiveRain is for the variety of posts and comments. When you take a moment to consider that people all over the United States and Canada are commenting and that it is within a certain realm of mutual interest, well you have nothing less than a sweet online treat.
HOSTS AND POSTS
I like reading the different posts and have grown to like many of their authors too. I never know what mood or focus I may have until I log-in and begin the viewing and reviewing process. I then gravitate toward my interests. I … (10 comments)

commenting: IS THIS YOUR SIGNATURE IS REPLACED WITH IS THIS YOUR POST?
- 10/30/11 04:42 AM
Amazing this Internet idea and how far we have taken it. It is an incredible thing to be able to promote ones self, ideas, and business even shopping for a wife/husband, car, pet, or home just by sitting down in front of a modern day type writer and pushing a few buttons. No longer do we need the "Press" to help us make something public
THERE IS POWER IN THOSE KEY STROKES
Now, anyone can go public on any subject or situation and present it in any light they choose to. If someone got a good deal on something, they spread … (8 comments)

That is precisely what we are doing with all this blogging, networking, pavement pounding, flyer sending, as well as emailing, texting and answering our phones. The day of submitting a resume that goes back ten years may be joining the dinosaurs soon. The Internet is history, record keeping at its best and whatever it says...well that's you

commenting: BLOGGING IS A PUBLIC ARENA THINK THROUGH EMOTIONAL RESPONSES
- 10/14/11 05:43 AM
I just finished reading a comment where a service provider (someone who provides services to others) made a comment that not only mocks, but disrespects the very public we are talking to. I have to remain deliberately vague, but the point of this post should be obvious
BEWARE THE KISS OF DEATH...IT KISSES THEE
Think through what you are going to say and then become aware that is now becomes public record on how you stand or feel on the subject matter. If you are able to express your self publicly putting quality public relations efforts to work, go at it. … (49 comments)

Just the other day I met two separate people professionally at a gathering and both upon hearing my name knew who I was and was pleased to meet me. I was taken back at first. They were acting like they knew me. The fact is they did know me. Blogging is out there working 24/7 long after we turned everything off is what hit me

You may have a habit or something in your blindside that you are not aware of. If it is pleasant or of no consequence, so be it. But what if it is something that doesn't compliment you or become you, then wouldn't you want to know about it? Some may and some may not, but leave that door open and make your choice at the time it comes up

commenting: BLOGGING IS TALKING WITH YOUR FINGERS
- 08/04/11 03:21 AM
I remember doing my first post but not before I read hundreds of others to see what they were doing. Through trial and error and watching others, you learn to blog which in and of itself is not hard. If you can talk, you can blog. The part that needs learning is where you don't rant, do run-on sentences, and have no point.
BUSINESS LETTER BUT FUN
It is similar to a business letter really with minor tweaks. Getting ones attention is the title's job. It can be informative or catchy and that's up to you. Then perhaps you may want … (2 comments)

- 07/26/11 03:31 AM
I just read a post that had to do with ongoing Real Estate training. I cannot stress enough how this is something that should be done daily if not weekly all the days of your license. It is good for you, your clients, other agents and the industry at large. Who better to help us with this than ACTIVERAIN? You all know what I am talking about...THE RAIN

I thought the photograph of this would invoke viewer thoughts no problem. I included two pictures below to help stimulate your brain to comment. If nothing comes to mind, just enjoy my little silliness. Imagine if this thing had legs and made its way into your room at night...what then?

- 06/10/11 05:42 AM
I enjoy getting up in the morning and including ACTIVERAIN in my day opening ceremonies and routines. It is now on level with reading the morning newspapers. It gets better than papers because you can comment instantly on something and get a response too. No newspaper can compete with that...
MY INNARDS ARE STIRRING
In addition, if some subject moves you in your personal or professional part of your brain, you are able to express that via your post privileges that are easily and generously dished out in the RAIN. You have a say so...

commenting: ACTIVERAIN SUGGESTION: FIRST ONE TO COMMENT SHOULD GET EXTRA POINTS
- 05/31/11 03:36 AM
I know I am not alone in this thought. Just a passing thought I wanted to share. There is something about a virgin post..one that has not gathered comments that is attractive. It promotes a response lets say more so that one who has already received comments. There is a little dynamic going on there
BE THE FIRST
It might be interesting to offer lets say an extra 25 points to be the first to comment made on a featured or Daily Drop posts. I haven't thought this thing through, just wanted to get it out there for examination.

- 05/10/11 11:08 AM
Over the weekend, some of us experienced some minor problems and ActiveRain was on them even before we could report them. But that is not the compelling part. The part that makes this company stand out is the genuine concern they have for the inconvenience caused to you
ACTIVERAIN SHARES THE SECRET OF THEIR SUCCESS
You see ActiveRain knows that deep within their power structure, amidst their successes and brilliant ideas, lie the very core concept of their being. That being is the people who believe in them. Humility is at play and all this does is bring out the best … (4 comments)

You are the master of your blogging ship. Your post sails the seven seas if that is the course you steer. You can hit the heights or the the dregs depending on where you want to go. The post, the blog and the host, which in this case is ACTIVERAIN...are only conduits for your message

I got a call the other day on a listing from an out of the area buyer. The first thing they said was..you are a prolific blogger and do quite a lot..I said yes, I do. Then they said I see where you wrote a book called Pearls for the Soul a book of positive sayings and I said yes, that's me. Good...we are interested buying a home in your area and we need your help
