Daily Drop Suggestions

I love seeing the Active Rain Daily Drop in my inbox every day. Sometimes it showcases successes, or a milestone, or a new member, or even a great hyper-local post....but my favorites are when they seem to have a topic. Different takes on a similar topic. This allows us to really delve into many sides of an issue and do some concentrated discussions on that topic.

So I've thought of a list of possible subjects for the Daily Drop.....here to be helpful!! :)

Things that come up in my daily work as a Realtor® that warrant an industry wide discussion and also some which are just fun.

Feel free to add your own.

  1. Handling Short Sale negotiators/negotiations
  2. Countering in a multiple offer situation...both from seller and buyer perspective
  3. Postponing foreclosures
  4. Over priced listings and writing offers on them
  5. Financing closing costs
  6. Request for Repair issues
  7. Staging
  8. SEO tips
  9. AR Profile tips
  10. Great examples of hyper local posts
  11. Great examples of listings
  12. Pipeline building and marketing success
  13. Paying for leads of any kind
  14. Jokes of the day
  15. Success stories (just success stories)
  16. Our "worst" day of being in the real estate industry
  17. Our "best" day of being in the real estate industry
  18. Our "strangest" day of being in the real estate industry
  19. Referral success stories
  20. Failures and disappointments

Just some of my wishes.

Thats for the great list.  Another useful addition to my blog pool when I am tapped out of ideas.  That's what I love about AR; when I need ideas I just read few posts and get to pick up some great ideas!

Karen,  so many great ideas... I need to bookmark this for sure-- to come back and "borrow" some of your ideas!  I like "best" day in RE and "strangest" day!

Karen- I like the Daily Drop as well.... I often find a new(to me) poster or a post I may have missed.  I also like your idea of having 'themed" Daily Drops.  Good idea!

Hannah: Those are great additions

Kathy: I've had some strange days....wouldn't it be great to see that in the Daily Drop sometime? all our odd days?

Kathy: I see sometimes they do have themes...not as often as they used to. Or maybe I just read into it.

Karen - Love your list!  I can think of a few myself but as to be expected, they're pretty mortgaga related.  You should send your list to the AR staff.  You have some great ideas.

Hi Karen, I often wonder how posts get into the daily drop. Sometimes I read them here and think wow they should be in the daily drop. But you can only choose so many I guess. I like yor ideas and think I have seen some of them there. I would like to see something on handling a deal when you have the buyer and seller

This is a great idea, Karen!  I'd follow many of those topics - certainly anything about how to use AR more effectively and be more efficient in my overall use of social media...I can spend hours a day on the various sites...yikes!

I am super late to this party, and I am not sure how I landed on this point. The Daily Drop is a great source of information for those that cannot make it to AR daily.
