The "Whale Tales" #11

By Ellen Caruso

Real Estate Agent with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty

I started this series out of a passion I have, to be creative, artistic, and entertaining to others. I've gotten so much support here in the Rain, and also with the contacts I have e-mailed them to, distributed them at Open Houses, or sent as printouts...now I just can't stop!

Actually, I have another series idea that I'll be running by you all soon as well, if only I can get my head out of these tales. And let me also add if ever you are looking for something creative and original, don't be afraid to ask me.

So, this next "Whale Tales" goes out to Anna Banana! When she discovered my series, she was crazy enough to spend a whole morning commenting on each and every one. Then we spoke on the phone and she gave me such sincere support I knew I'd have to dedicate one to her. When I asked her what her favorite Fairy Tale was, she replied "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" (What girl doesn't want 7 men waiting on them hand and foot?). Immediately I knew what Real Estate connection I could make. I hope you enjoy!

Here are my other's in case you missed them.

Why not create a slideshow of this marketing series? Or better yet, a video - showing you drawing, the process and mix it with stills of the campaign's actual artwork? Then you can enter it in the Vbloggers contest! Honestly, Ellen you have tons of talent and creativity. You should be rewarded for it.

Had to add, Snow White lives much like I do currently. Only it's my folks next door, not the 7 short guys. :)

Deb, Amy told me the same thing but my video isn't working now and I'll need my kids help...lets see what I can do.

I think a lot of people can relate to that 2 family house living! LOL for your taller relatives!

Donna, I'll try...I think I'm a bit camera shy!

Ellen - lots of great ideas on how to market and use these lovely creations of yours. I am so impressed. I know... know I've said that before but it's just so different!! And ......why not make these public posts?

Jul 22, 2011 01:32 PM

Mitchell, Great tip...I'm still trying to figure out how all this works! Next I need to learn how to link a video.

Anna, After I feature them here, I sometimes change the text and do go public...thanks for the reminder, I've got work to do!

Ellen, The activerain profiles usually have higher page ranks then the blogs for some reason. If it's a video from youtube that you want to link it's fairly easy. You click share on the youtube then you click embed then copy the HTML code then paste it in your blog but you have to click HTML insted of Wsyiwig when you're editing your blog.

Thanks Mitchell, I'll save this for the next time I try. Also is it the same if I make my own video?
