Bon Voyage 2011!

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty

2011 was an awesome year for me, so I'm kind of sad to see it go. I met all of my goals and in the process proved to myself that my belief in the power of content marketing (I hate the word blog)  and social media were not misguided.

My goal for personal sales was modest-18 homes. My goal for my internet based business was also rather modest-6 referrals paid. Luckily I hit the first goal right on the head. The second goal I doubled. Woo Hoo! 12 sales farmed out to others. 

How did I create enough leads to be able share them with others? By blogging. Dang, there's that beautifully ugly word again. 436 posts in a variety of places. 

Many of the posts I did were not published here on ActiveRain, they were published elsewhere. Geez, I wish I had points for all of them! Here's a few of my favorites:

Hi Rich!  Well, you had a stellar year!  Funny but, I hated that 4-letter word too but, I've grown to love it since the business that it brings me is so wonderful!  I too, did alot of referring out--in fact, I made nearly as much in referrals as I did in outright sales this year!  My goal is to double that next year so that I can 'semi' retire!  LOL  that'll be the day--I love this business so much, I'll die happy if I'm in the office or someone's home doing a listing presentation!

Happy New Year!  Here's to doubling your 2011 stats!!

Rich - Congrats on an amazing 2011!  One of my goals last year was to produce enough leads that I would have to start referring them out, which did happen.  Content marketing is a wonderful thing!

May 2012 bring you happiness and prosperity.
