My Reporting Post for Week #1, Post #2 

 2011 December Blogging Challenge

You will be seeing a lot of these all month as we have to report (brag!) about what we did each and every day during December to promote or grow our business.  We have to report in at least five posts per week what we have done.  We were told these posts do not have to be pretty as it is members only. 

So watch out...these will be quick and "not so pretty" but it will be my diary of what I did each day in December.  Contests are running wild here in ActiveRain and I am wondering just how I will get this all done. 

Hey, I am a sucker for a contest so I WILL get it done!  HOWEVER, should I come up missing in action, please check on me.   This is the second of my quick and "not so pretty" reporting posts detailing my December business generating activities.  

Week One - Blog Post #2

  • Dec. 3 - Posted another "SOLD" on a home I sold and offered searches for the - targeted toward buyers

  • Dec. 3 - Designed and sent 10,000+ eFlyers to Realtors in the Dallas area letting them know about a price reduction on one of my listings in Rowlett.  Original post on this listing.

  • Starting reading the reporting posts of others in the December Blogging Challenge.  This is a gold mine of information and I plan on reading this group each day to learn from others how to increase my business.  I added two new things to my list from my reading this morning.  TIP - READ THIS GROUP!   

Folks, this is three days down on the December challenge, not even breaking a sweat and still on schedule!  Not to worry yet, I have my "to do" list working!  I will be posting all my reports right here.

Hi Barbara - Your blogs are always pretty.  So is it 20 blogs in December?

Conrad - I am understanding that we have to post 5 each week which would be 20 for December.  If you have not posted yet you could quickly do catch up posts.  I am counting the week as starting on Dec. 1.  Here we go again...it is always the details!  :)  Mine are all "members only" as I don't really think this is the sort of thing I want out to clients but some may be posting "public".  

 

 Merry Christmas! 

    From Texas!
