What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-January 11 to January 17, 2015

 

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 could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

tammy lankfordJanuary 11:  Tammy Lankford     Community Guidelines: Don’t take points for posts you copy and paste.

Tammy makes an interesting point about copy and paste and what is or isn’t original material.  Hope you’ll give her post a read. What do you think?

 

 

marte cliffJanuary 12: Marte Cliff    Need to write marketing materials and can’t get started? Try this.

If you have some problems gathering and organizing your thoughts when you’re ready to

write a post, I strongly suggest you read/memorize Marte’s post.

 

 

susan haughtonSusan Haughton  “The Agent Priced It Too Low.”

Susan’s excellent post shows us that sometimes it isn’t always about the almighty dollar when a seller prices their home.

 

 

 

 

connie harveyJanuary 13:  Connie Harvey    Recycle your 2014 Christmas Cards!

I’ve received Christmas cards that are so beautiful, I hate tossing them in the recycle bin.  Connie tells us how we can recycle them an even better way.

 

 

 

erin batesJanuary 14:   Erin Bates   Manifest Intentions for You AND Your Clients

If you’re looking for a way to add a layer of positive energy to your listing presentations or any time you’re working with a client, child or anyone else, consider manifest intentions.

 

 

 

toni weidmanJanuary 15:  Toni Weidman    What Kind of Networker Are You?

Well, I spotted myself quickly in Toni’s post.  What about you?

 

 

 

 

richie naggarJanuary 16:  Richie Alan Naggar     Worst Vacation Story Part 1

Want a fun read?  Don’t stop with Part 1, though.  You have to read all 4 parts, and you will chuckle and wince and relate.

 

 

 

larry and sheila agranoffJanuary 17: Lawrence (Larry) & Sheila Agranoff  I Don’t Use Business Cards

I just can’t imagine this, can you?  But it what Larry and Sheila ran into.

I love all of Nick’s suggestions but # 6 is the most creative one I’ve seen yet.  This is perfect for those of us who have sentimental attachments to things.

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

Kathy, this is the 2nd day in a row that I see your weekly roundup.

Surely, I do feel like time is flying by.

A few more that surely I didn't catch as I was mia this week.

Nice.

Totally agree with the recycling of Christmas cards.  You don't always go through them all and if you are smart you get timeless ones that can be used no matter the year.
