This from David Robinson. If at first you don't succeed, try try again - aka - keep trying until you do! With persistence and perseverance it's inevitable that you will reap rewards from blogging on Active Rain! Are Hyper Local Posts worth the time and energy one puts into them? My broker blogs ...
