New to AR & Seeking Help

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with William Raveis Realty

Hi All,

My name is Mandy Beckett and I'm a new member of AR.  I've been having trouble figuring out what my first blog should be about.  I thought that I would introduce myself to you all and ask for some help and direction.  I thank you in advance for your comments.

Thanks!

Mandy

Welcome Mandy.  Active Rain is great place to get referrals and google juice.  Subscribe to "wellington homes" blogs and you will see what I mean.

Hello Mandy

We were all new to AR at one time and it's a good thing.  My advice to you is just read other Blogs and you will get some great ideas.  I think a GREAT Blog to read is Tomato Blogging Coach by Justin Smith.

Hi Mandy - I would recommend just writing a little something about yourself and your business in order to prime the pump a bit.

Hi Mandy, The first one is the hardest, we all know that.  Just jump off the cliff and do it.  Tell us about you and what you think is interesting or important about you.  AR is a great place, everyone is here to help, you will make great friendships and learn more than you will be able to retain.  Welcome!

Great first Blog ')

I tend to do stream of conscious stuff, whetehr it's a business subject that I am involved with, what I am cooking or doing that day or anything else.  To me, it's just important to do it on a daily basis.

Hi Mandy,

You picked the same topic that most of us pick for our first post. Write about things you know and are passionate about.  Other than localism topics, I write about saving money on various websites using promo codes  and I share the codes. I also write about the local animal shelter and other places I volunteer.

Mandy, I'm in your shoes.  Waiting for that inspiration to hit me.  In my past life living on the road I communited with family members via email.  Always about something funny or interesting about the trip or the folks I meet.  So that's probably where I'll start - humor.  Until I strike it rich selling real estate, of course.  Then I'll probably just talk about my self and how good I am (NOT).

Hey, Mandy. I think you should write about what your passion is and your niche in your market place. Let everyone know why they should pick you. All my best, Jim
