I've Always Said I Learn Something New at ActiveRain Every Day and It's Time I Showed You. March 15-March 17, 2012

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment.
It may have been about something techie... about blogging and SEO.... anything having to do with Staging or Real Estate... about the world or even about the Blogger.

March 11 - Roy Kelley - Pros and Cons of Putting A Property in a LLC-Investor Alert. Roy gives us a heads up if you’re an investor and decide to form an LLC to purchase an investment property. Even if you aren’t but are a Realtor and might represent investors this is good information to know.

March 12 - Carra Riley- Danger Will Robinson! Think Before You Pin! Yes, we’re talking Pinterest again. Carra is active in Social Media and gives us more information on what you need to know should you use Pinterest. I love Pinterest but I want to be clear on copyright infringement.

March 13 -Janis Bourgueta - In Case You Missed It, You Were Featured!
Janis shows us how she takes her localism posts and maximizes their impact with a letter to the featured business owner. What a great idea!

March 14- Alan May- Mystery Solved. Alan’s mystery of that one pesky non-growing circle of grass was solved. Head to his post to find out what it was. I never would have guessed it.

March 15-Bill Lauler- Color Your Second Amendment Gone HR 347
I was not aware of this amendment but we all should be. This seems to be the very antithesis of what our country was founded on.

March 16 - -Korrie Scales- 7 Steps to Creating a Successful Landing Page-
We heard about landing pages... some have different ones for different purposes. Whatever the case make sure they touch the 7 steps.

March 17- Mimi Foster- Free Photo Sites
I know we should all get in the habit of carrying our camera with us wherever we go but sometimes you need that one special photo for your blog. Mimi lists some free ones but also reminds us that some may say free but you’ll have to search for them because some require a payment.

Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
