Authentic Real Estate Marketing: #4 in Calabasas!

Dustin,

Good luck with your venture.  Try to write longer and more meaningful blog posts, so that people will want to comment on them.  Every day something happens in our market that makes me go, Hmmm....  Those are the things that I post on.  Methods of lead generating, inaccessability of listings, what information the seller needs to know, closing gifts.... the list goes on and on!!! 

IMHO getting to #1 isn't the whole battle, it's getting to be #1 with other agents that might send you business, and getting to be #1 with clients because of your market knowledge.  With Localism.com that will be very much top of mind.

Again, good luck!!!

Welcome Dusin, I mean Dustin.... keep up the good work. 

Welcome Dustin!  The points will add up trust me!

We look forward to your blogs Dustin!  Welcome!

Thank you Maureen, Marci, and Renee! 

Thanks to all the hard work of Ardell (she's my first invite), I'm already at #3 and I should quickly make my way to #2 in Calabasis with this comment!  LOL! 

then it's on to conquer Los Angeles County... which I think you are already on page 4 of 14...in the county.... of course Eddy Martinez has close to 100,000 points so it may take awhile to catch him.

 

OK, Dustin, I was aware of the your blog, but not your name.  I'm blushing!!!  I guess I won't try to give you tips on blogging any more.... :)

No sweat Chris... My posts on ActiveRain so far are laced with irony. (I really should have joined sooner!)  Thanks for the complements! 

Maureen,  I'm starting small... but considering it only takes 2000 points to get on the front page of LA County, I'm pretty sure it won't be long!  (Especially if Matt will let me post more than 5 articles a day! That's a really dumb restriction!)

I get it.  I need to go back and change the town to Kirkland

Awesome!  One way to get to the top is to simply change the rules! 

I get it now :)  Unfortunately we do get quite a few newbies that post that way. 

I guess we can be pretty sure your points will add up fast!!!

Oh, Geez, am I going to have to lecture you AGAIN???  :) 

I definitely need the lecture! (although to my defense, both Matt and Jon had ample warning that I was onto their point game.)

Bad, bad boy!!!  For shame!!!  You are going to get coal in your stocking next year for sure!!!

Not again!   I received a box of coal this year! 

 

(and it tasted really bad!) 

Looks more like reindeer droppings to me!  I don't know that I would have been brave enough to taste it!

Maybe it's because no one actually LIVES in Calabasas?

Great point Rich!

It helps to have very little competition!  That's the primary reason I was able to make a dent with RCG two years ago! LOL!   

But you've given me an idea... I may already be the top in Calabasas and #20 in Los Angeles County, but if I jump ship and change my location to to Ventura County (where I work as oppose to live!), I'll already be #4 on the list and two blog posts away from "featured" status!   

Dustin, better yet, pack up the car and move to Inyo County! You could have top spot just by loggin on!
