I recently visited Kathleen Daniel’s New Group, Member Outreach Group, and I read a post entry for Kathleen’s contest by someone whom I presumed was a Newbie. You see the contest challenged AR bloggers to seek out a New Member, and help them get started with their first post, or help them complete their AR Profile Page, since many of them didn’t have one yet. I was expecting to see some Active Bloggers with many boy scout badges under their names with posts about someone they had helped, but to my surprise I saw this one entry that was written by Ms. Lisa Friedman, who was Introducing Mr. Harley Harrington.
Lisa only had one boy scout badge, so I decided to go over to check out her AR Profile, and see if she had written more posts. Not only did I see that she had joined AR in May, but she already had 25 posts. WOW! I remember only writing 10 my first month in the Rain, and here she was writing all those posts, and participating in a contest her very first month. She was presently over 18,000 points, and it appears that she will be breaking a few milestones with points in record time.
I contacted Lisa and personally sent her a message to Welcome her to our Active Rain community. She responded and thanked me for my military service, but she revealed that she was really not a Newbie when it came to blogging. You see, she had been “ghost blogging” in the Rain for an ex-business partner. Lisa also has been in real estate for 25 years, and was the owner and broker of her own real estate company. Now, that she has her own RainMaker account, her goals are to climb up that leader board in her State in record time. She has gone from #276 to #14 in just one month. I have not doubt that if she stays focused with daily blogging and entering all the contests, that her goal for being on top in her state is very attainable. Let’s give Ms. Lisa Friedman our support, and a Big Welcome to our community!
