My ActiveRain eBook

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed
Using wix.com, I was able to create this ebook. It was initially created to try and help visitors and readers find posts on my Blog that might be helpful to them. In an effort to try and sort them out, and make them easier to find, I was able to use wix to better organize my tutorials, how-to's, and tips etc. Hopefully, it will make things easier for folks to find articles of interest, or anything else I have Blogged about that they might be looking for. This seems like an easy way to keep different Blog posts alive after a long period of time.

The eBook tutorial can also be found and is available on my ActiveRain profile, just in case this post disappears off my Blogroll, (which it will) as they ALL tend to do after time. You can find out more about Wix at Wix.com. It's easy, it's fairly user friendly, it's useful, and the best part of all, it's FREE!

Sorry about the big white space above, it's not a boo-boo, it was intentional and here's why...

The blank space above was needed for when you hover your mouse over the wix graphic on the right hand side of the eBook, you'll see that my "Magic Banner" will appear there.

I know this post of Wix is small, and it may be difficult for some of you to read who have eyes like mine, but I had to re size it so it would fit into this post and not blow out my entire Blog. The larger version over on my AR profile is much easier on the eyes, and is the proper size. Enjoy!

I have been thinking of an ebook for a while...  Might be a cool solution.

I am just learning to upload pictures and videos so I am waaaay behind on e-books. I do so appreciate visiting your blog. I get so much relevant information from you. Please continue to mentor to those who are struggling to find our way.

Lisa - as you can probably tell by the content in my ebook, i write a lot of tutorials and techy posts.  I love Real Estate technology, and I really enjoy my career in Blogging here at AR.  Helping members is what I love and do best.  Coming from the title and escrow industry, I never had the opportunity to help my clients this way, as I was so governed by my company, respa, HUD, dept. of Insurance etc. 

Now I get to share my knowledge and experience with those same clients, and I don't have to worry about looking over my shoulder.  In fact, now it's my job. So please feel free to contact me anytime if you need any help with this stuff. I am a full time social media and marketing technician and only want to see our members succeed on every level. :-)

I just can't believe how much information is here.  Placing it all in a book is such a neat thing.  I am still very much a newbie and I must admit I keep reading and reading trying to make sure I understand how A/R works.  The book is going to be so helpful.  Was it very time consuming to make your book? What about the cover?  I will have to check it out....Thanks so much Brad. ~ Kim

Kim - yes it was very time consuming.  Each page in the eBook is just a post out of my Blog here on AR. So it has taken me since March of 2007 to get it this far.  The nice thing about this eBook is that I can continue adding chapters and posts as my Blog here continues to grow.  I guess that means this book will never be done....

Dawn - this isn't that kind of book. It's not one you'll find at Amazon.com but there is a wix address for it.  Here's the link:

http://www.wix.com/bandersohn/ActiveBrad  but it is also here as well: http://activerain.com/activebrad  that's the beauty, I can place the entire thing in any location I want.  Then it can be reviewed on-line anytime, and no copies need to be printed.

This is just a wix template that I am using to host all my posts in one place.  It comes in handy as a tutorial resource, hopefully making it easier for subscribers to find specific posts I've written.  It sure helps me in that sense. :-)

Thanks.  Is there anything that you do not know?

Tim - you bet!  But I learn at least 10 new things a day being here in the "rain."  :-)

Pacita - how do I find these things?  I use web tools like google alerts and RSS feed readers, twitter, social networks, and search engines to find all this stuff.  In fact, with all the tools available today, I don't have to look or work to find it, it automatically comes to me...

OK, call me stupid... I have had the link to Wix on FF for days now.  I keep looking but I don't see where I can do the book...  What am I missing (aside from the frontal lobe)?
