Help Announce a New Blog, and Get Free Stuff

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Christian Real Estate Network

Ok so I've never written a post like this before.  This is not about how I sold my Active Rain profile, or about how to break up with a search engine... actually it's not at all about my normal topics that typically include SEO, blogging, etc. This is one of those posts where I ask the Active Rain community to help me...  but don't worry, there is something in it for you.

The concept is pretty simple, write a really quick blog post about the re-launch of blog, and you get to choose from a bunch of free stuff we will be giving away.  Simple...  Easy... Fun...

 

"What do I have to do?"

 

Step 1:  Write a quick blog post on ActiveRain, or on your own personal blog

Step 2:  Email me to tell me where I can see the blog post to verify it

Step 3:  You pick from a bunch of free items we are giving away

Step 4: You pat yourself on the back for getting free stuff



Stuff We are Giving Away:

If you write a quick post on your own personal blog, you can choose from the following:

(can't been a Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, or ActiveRain Outside blog)

 

=============================


Book: Trust Agents   

(4 Remaining)

$25 value. 

 

This is one of the best books on social media marketing available.  Here is the official website, and here is a book review.  

 

 

 

=============================

 

Book: The New Community Rules: Marketing on the Social Web

(3 Remaining)

$25 value. 

 

This is another fantastic book on social media and community marketing.  This gives more hands on practical advice than Trust Agents does.  Here is a book review.  

 

 

 

=============================

$25 Facebook Advertising Credit

(2 Remaining)

If you've never created a Facebook Ad it is really cool.  You get to choose your demographic down to city, age, gender, interests, and even keywords people have used on a page.  it is a great way to get more fans on your page, or promote your business.  You don't pay unless people click on your Ad, so $25 can actually go a long way.  Learn more here.  If you choose this, we will simply credit your account with $25.

Hi Justin ~ Not to rain on the parade but have the new regulations about benefiting from what you're writing about online been put into place? I guess a disclaimer in the post would cover it if so.

Yikes, Liz... what are the new rules?  I saw another Rainer giving away something of value in a contest very recently.
