Ok, I'll be the first to admit the following points will seem a bit random, but the points are some takeaways from Monday afternoon's ActiveRain RainCamp that I find valuable. I've posted Monday morning's before the break and after the break takeaways also. Enjoy...
- Do something unusual that engages your FB & Twitter followers - ask them to do something fun to grow your business.
- Use Dragon Naturally Speaking to dictate blog entries.
- Put family first. Todd Clark does not miss the daily family dinner, kid's events, and does not work on Sundays.
- Use local event and place articles to generated leads. Place the leads in a drip system that focuses on the information the caller (from the article) called for.
- In addition to the obvious social sites, conisder about.me and socialbios.com
- Slideshare.net/bandersohn shared Tech Tool For Agents slide presentaion. A Must See!
- retaggr.com helps manage ALL your social profiles.
- primopdf.com converts your screen to a pdf.
- fillanypdf.com lets you sign a pdf.
- gimp.org is Adobe Photoship, sorta!
- zamzar.com file and video conversion.
- imagegenerator.org/ - self explanatory.
- xtranormal.com/ - type and the characters become animated characters.
- prezi.com - for presentations.
- rssmix.com - self explanatory. Plus, feedmingle.com
- wisestamp.com is a great sig creation tool.
- screenflow.com - Screencasting (paid version)
Great stuff. Keep feeding the hungry that didn't addend.
Good stuff. Can't wait for RainCamp to return to Houston. We really enjoyed last year.
You are certainly welcome Charlie and Jeanne. We'll post today's learnings as well. :-)
Thanks for the recap! I caught a bit of the flavor of the afternoon (bacon!) via the Twitter hashtag #raincamp.
Colleen - More great stuff. I really appreciate the tips since I wasn't there.
Good luck everyone (points finger at self, as well) with implementing some of the stuff posted. Might take a few years to incorporated everything learned in 2 days of RainCamp. :)
Colleen, fabulous stuff. I want to explore all these right now. And I can't. I have to be out the door in 40 minutes. Thank you for your generosity in posting these.
I didn't let Raincamp change those dinner reservations either! I was with my family at 6pm on Monday and Tuesday and enjoyed dinner with them both nights. (Monday was a little later though, the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed)
Too funny Todd. Yup, ya made "the list" when we took notes. Good on ya! :)
