WHO, ME??? You want to know what I have to say????
The word will be on the street! The cat will be out of the bag. I WILL be talking to other Realtors® about Activerain. I have resisted up to now. It's too late to get in out of the rain.
This week in Frankfort, KY (Our state capitol) during the Legislative & Business Meeting, I get to represent Activerain.
Hunt Cooper of KAR (Kentucky Association of Realtors®) invited me to serve on a board and the topic is "Demographics, the Internet and How to Market Yourself and Your Listings". I will be one of 4 on a board that get to explain to the group about the technology I use in my business, social Internet networking, blogs, RSS feeds, podcasts, widgets, Facebook, Youtube and others.
I know there are many things I can talk about in my 10 minutes on the soap box, but it will gear around my experience on Activerain. I want to share how I found out, how I started and how I have grown here and most of all why I LOVE ACTIVERAIN!
I'll let you know how it turns out! I'm excited to be invited!

Congratulations on being invited to speak. Speakig about Avtive Rain should be pretty easy. The public expects so much more now, it's good to see someone that embraces technology.
p.s. love your graphic
Have fun with your BIG reveal! : )
It will be interesting to see how many will actually follow through and join up and then the real test...keep at blogging over time. I like Larry's idea of the video!
Kim - It will be interesting to see what actually happens. It is the first time there has ever been a meeting like this for KAR.(so I'm told)
Gary - Activerain website is better than any class I have been to or any book I have read on real estate.
Jimmy - I tell everyone too. Not everyone moves forward to join I see.
The Bartley Group - Thanks for the support. I love my logo too!
Larry - I'm not quite sure I am ready for that one. Although it may be taped by others.
Deborah - Isn't it wild that so many join and never blog at all?
It will be interesting to see how many actually join... even more interesting to see how many stick with it!!!

Lizette, you may want to check out the blog posting I did this morning Is Having an Online Marketing Blog, a Real Estate Paradigm Shift? to get a prospective on Michael Parker's article and views: What Every Agent Needs to Know about Blogging, Social Networking, RSS Feeds and SEO http://www.brokeragentnews.com/news/residential/2008_2/2_19_2008_nv_1203436125.html
Maybe you will have some additional ammunition for possible objections. Not that I think there should be any! Good Luck!
Good luck tomorrow!!! I am sure you will do a Great job sharing the "good news" with everyone!
Love the t-shirt too!! =}
Wow! What a response! Thanks EVERYONE for all the support and comments!
I spent my afternoon at the meeting. Everything went great! I will write a new post on the outcome in a little bit. It was fun to tell what I know about my great experience here.
There could not be a better representative in my opinion! You will do us proud, and yourself.
Go Chanel's Mommy! Love you guys.
Ten minutes would be enough. You can only say about so much good things abou this site. Besides,you want to make it very concise. Too much information and you might bore them. But as long as you showed enthusiasm while you were talking about Active Rain,I promise you even a total stranger might end up signing up. Please let us know how it went.
Lizette, Make sure you give them all an invitation to join!
They are going to love you. Let us know how it goes. Have fun!
Stay tuned for the whole story tomorrow! Thanks for the feature AR! I appreciate all your comments!
Lizette,
What a nice honor! Good luck with your presentation---I'm sure you'll do a fabulous job.
Have fun and keep us posted on how it goes!

Lizette...
I could not get past the hilarious graphics to make a real comment.
But hey...I get points for laughing at the pictures too :)
TLW...ROAR!
What a great opportunity for you to be helpful and informative. Wish you the very best with it.
cheers
Lizette, Congratulations. People are slowly (and unwillingly) starting to realize the importance of establishing an online identity. Sounds like you have this whole blogging thing down.
Also, very cool graphic of yourself. Did you draw that?
If so, can you draw me?? Just kidding (kind of)
