Whoever coined the term: nothing good comes free never lived in the Internet age. While the time spent is not free, the intellectual property that can be conferred is mind boggling.  I just PM'd an AR member yesterday about a video technique and wala, amazing what I learned.  Imagine that happening even 5 years ago.

Brad, I am going to do it, but I am just too busy now.

I have to have  the time to prepare and if you have noticed, I haven't even had time to post much less teach.

But, maybe in two weeks, my assistant will be back from vacation tonight and one BA will be back next Monday.

How long before the library is rolling so we can access the classes on our schedule?

Posted by Gene Riemenschneider East Contra Costa Home Sales 01492725 (Home Point Real Estate) 4 months ago

Hi Gene - great question.... each class is an hour long therefore making the video files huge.  We are trying to figure out the best location and most stable platform to host them.  Due to the file sizes and importance of setting up a stable Archive Library from the start, we don't have a date and can't tell you how long it will be before they are available.  We are working on it and would hope to have something available this month (March) but I can't guaranty it. 

Thanks for your patience while we work out these details. :-)

Posted by Brad Andersohn ~ Community Manager (ActiveRain) 4 months ago

Great info about upcoming classes that I will share with other agents who are new to active rain.  You are wonderful to take the time to teach this!
