Well, our first Active Rain Blogging Class was a success today! We discussed several topics starting with Why Would I want to blog to Getting Started With Active Rain to What Do Points Mean for Me plus how to add pictures to your blogs, how to join groups and why you would want to and much more. I have gained so much knowledge regarding blogging, the internet, marketing and business from reading other agents blogs on Active Rain and commenting on them. I am hoping to spread this enthusiam for Active Rain throughout my Market Center! Active Rain is an incredible community to be part of!
As a followup to this class, we are holding hands on classes in July for newbie bloggers in our Market Center. The classes will be short, about 1/2 hour each and will be held once a week. The first class will focus on the agents first blog on Active Rain, so bring your ideas or your partially written blog to the first class in July! And remember, as always, our classes at Keller Williams Elk Grove, are open to the entire Real Estate community, so invite a friend!
