This is a perfect example of how a being a Rainmaker is Crucial to your success on ActiveRain!
I have been blogging since August 2008 after lurking around for quite awhile. I finally jumped in feet first & haven't stopped since. It is fair to say that I am addicted.
I LOVE networking with other Realtors around the world (and in my own town!), sharing ideas, successes and helpful hints.
As a result of my blogging I have:
- Made friends
- Received Referrals
- Developed better marketing strategies
- Gotten ideas on developing our website
- Found out about & started using twitter & facebook
- Been interviewed by the San Antonio Express News Newspaper AND
- Closed deals
An exciting first for me occurred last week. I had two buyers go under contract that were referred to me BECAUSE OF my blog on ActiveRain.
Not just one, TWO!

Every time I read a success story it seems someone always asks "Where did the referral come from?" So, I thought i'd save the mystery for ya'll! The first found me while doing a search for property management & the second was a referral from an agent (right here on AR) in NC.
Now they are both under contract and set to close in May.
I write this post to tell anyone who hasn't received a referral not to get discouraged. Keep on posting, developing relationships & learning new things. If you enjoy that & can make some money in the process, all the more reason to continue, right?
Many, many, many THANKS to you ACTIVERAIN! I sing your praises to everyone I can at every opportunity.
If I had to pay $634,231,965.00/month to continue my membership on ActiveRain, I would. Right after I find out how much that would convert to with my bailout?
Hi Joel - thanks for the reblog!! I just figured out how to see who re-blogged me!
