Being found on the internet. The Active Rain way.

 

I have been in the Active Rain Community since August 2011

It has been a rough time at times. Not having very much to come up with when it came to “new ideas” on what to post on Active Rain.

I started out with a head full of ideas that I was thinking would be just the greatest thing to do since the invention of sliced bread.

This is what start up companies do everyday.

I was not actually a start up company though. I had been inspecting homes for a very long time before I relocated back to Carlsbad New Mexico and started up Desert Sun Home Inspections.

In a recent post on Active Rain Link here http://actvra.in/PnM as of this morning there were 31 comments.

I Talked about how I was being found on the internet through the Active Rain posts.

 

Yesterday I received a total of three more calls talking and asking about home inspections here in Eddy County New Mexico.

All three of the calls said they had read the post about how Active Rain Blogging works.

One man even went as far as saying, “ I thought that Zillow and Trulia were the only Real Estate sites on the web”.

Not true I told him. You can go on the Active rain site and choose a state then a county and then a city. Then you can see what there is for sale within the area you are looking at.

I have now posted over 500 posts. I wanted to toot my horn a little as I just surpassed the 400,000 point mark.

I have been posting on average of about 10% of my posts get to be a Featured post.

I am very grateful to all the Active Rain Members who have subscribed to my blog all 60 of them, and for all of those who have ever commented on any of my posts.

After all This is what the Active Rain Network is all about.

Have a great day everyone.

Hello Mr. Bond.

Telling about inspections is just a small part of what I post about. Look deep into the post and there is a message for everyone to see.

Have a good day in Ohio.

Hello Cheryl,

I did'nt have much trouble getting my site set up. I did have reservations about all the different links and info and where to find it. There is no Mentor for this only a member who wants to help when you ask for help.

There should be a mentor.

Have a great day and rest of the week. Thank you for the comment.

Hi James,

I remember when i hit the 100 K mark. Boy was I happy. Now looking for the 500 K mark. I'll be glad when I do hit the mark. Look at all the members who benefit from the Rain. I hope there are a lot more of them.

Have a really good day in Rogers my friend.
