Introducing New Members in The Rain
Many of you may remember that I started a New Group last year called, “Introducing Newbies in Active Rain”, and we even had a Contest last November, 2011 to encourage newbies to get started blogging, and for seasoned bloggers to help promote new members to their audiences too. We shared a lot of great tips and advice for all our new members, and had some great participation from many seasoned members too.
Last month, Dick Greenberg took it a step further and introduced a New Contest for Mentoring called, “Sensei/Grasshopper Group”. He had over 50 entries for this challenge and I was thrilled to see that his Group will remain open for anyone, who needs future mentoring. What a great learning resource for all our AR members.
Today, I would like to introduce three New members, who are taking Active Rain to heart with their blogging efforts. They are Richard and Beth Witt, Heather Milbourn, and Debbie Reynolds.
Richard and Beth Witt are a team from Re/Max Wittney Estates. Richard has been the broker/owner since 1984, when he first open that office in Massapegua, NY, Selling Long Island Homes. Richard started in Active Rain in December 2011, but got serious with his blogging the very next month in January 2012 by putting out 23 posts, and he has been on a roll ever since. He presently has nearly 69,000 points, and that’s great for only six months of blogging. Here is one of his recent posts, “Self Esteem is different than conceit”. Stop by and give Richard and Beth a Big Warm Active Rain Welcome!
Debbie Reynolds has been licensed since 1980, and is presently with Prudential Professionals Realty. She has earned several designations, and is known in the Clarksville, TN area as “The Real Debbie Reynolds”. I discovered Debbie from her recent featured Post, “Where Will I Be at the End of the Year in Active Rain?” She joined Active Rain in October 2011, but didn’t get serious with her blogging until April 2012, when she wrote 23 posts. I am sure Debbie will be able to reach her goal of being at that No. 2 spot in Clarksville, TN by the end of the year. Let’s Give Debbie a Big Warm Active Rain Welcome!
Heather Milbourn is living her Dream as a real estate professional in South Beaches Real Estate. As a prior Health and Fitness professional, she is right at home with her clients, selling real estate in the Gulf Beaches. She has been in Active Rain since March 2012, and has already gained nearly 15,000 points. She caught my attention with her recent post, “Bikini Season in Seminole Florida”. Although the title caught my eye, it was her tips on health and diet that zeroed in on my thoughts, since I am presently on a diet to take off some pounds. Let’s give Heather a Big Warm Active Rain Welcome!
Hi Beth, You are very Welcome, and I am sure Richard enjoys all that Google Juice you are generating from your blogging efforts. This time next year you will be in a much stronger position in your Market Area. Best Wishes to you and Richard in your journey in the Rain.
Hi Anita. Thanks. I had already checked out Debbie's Facebook Page. She has done an excellent job with it too.
Hi Evelyn, Yes, I am checking out many of our Newbies, and I have to work late nights to get most of this done. There is not enough time during the day.
Thanks, Teral. I remember what it was like being a Newbie myself last year. They can use all the support they can get.
Hi Melissa. Thanks for stopping by and visiting our New Members. I know that would love to hear from another Ambassador like yourself.
Thanks, Dorie. These are some Future Stars in Active Rain. I know you will be seeing more of them soon.
Yes, Tammy. Dick had a great idea, and I am sure there will be requests for more mentoring throughout the year.
Hi Debbie, I had been meaning to get back into the Action of finding new members who need our support. Glad I was able to get this post out today. Have a Nice Evening!
Hi Brenda. I can't wait to see your Facebook Fridays post tomorrow. I may be late on getting a post out tomorrow, since I am trying to finish up some more BPOs.
Jerry, You are amazing! So nice of you to introduce these new members in the Rain. You wear your Ambassador badge very well.
Wow Jerry! I blinked and when I looked up, you're wearing an Ambassador Badge under your photo. When did this happen and how long was I asleep to miss such a great occasion? Congratulations, although somewhat belated, are in order.
Good Morning Jerry Thanks for the intro us newbies need all the help we can get, San Antonio is such a beautiful place i have visited with my husband who is also from Texas and ex military, great to hear from you
Sounds like a great cast of characters to keep up with Jerry, thanks for bringing them to our attention
Good morning Jerry, great post you put together to highlight some of the members. You sure is a great ambassdor for Active Rain. Have a Productive Friday!
Jerry, Thanks again for the introduction. I have had met some new people because of it.
Three great choices for introductions, Jerry! They are all great bloggers!!!
Jerry- this is such a kind thing for you to do. I've "met" Richard, Beth and Debbie but haven't had the opportunity to meet Heather. Thank you for doing this.
This is a great post. Other members should follow your fine example. This could be a series for any member.
Have an outstanding week, with your camera in hand.
Thanks, Kathleen, Doug, Heather, Charles, Eileen, Debbie, Barbara Jo, Kathy, Marco, and Roy all your encouragement and support for these New Members. Yes, We plan to do more of these introductions, and there have been a few other members who have done the same thing. Got a lot interest going last year with our Contest to Introduce Newbies in the Rain.
Perhaps, we will be putting together something very similar this year. Have a Great Week Everyone!
