Hi Brad-
Thanks for the update. Steve and I'll be checking out these classes!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
--Sara in San Antonio
That's a really great line up, I will definitely be registering for Steve Graham class and the Advanced SEO class. I like how you are incorporating all of social media to include facebook, twitter and linkedin. Nice job!

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.
Howdy and mornen to ya Brad
Thank ya kindly, I'll be sure to check out the ActiveRain University classes.
Mybe you could answer a question for me. yeaterday I finely had one of my blog posts Featured by AR.
I was just wonderen how long it takes for the little gold star to show up under your photo, showen that you have had a blog post Featured?
Brad, thanks for the classes. Cannot make tomorrow but signed up for Friday.
Brad:
Gonna have to get into one of these classes real soon. Thanks for letting us know.
This is such a great thing you guys are doing.
Your constant efforts to make us better at what we do is truly appreciated.
Thank you!
Brad - Thanks for the update. You know I have been hoping you would do something like the university for a long time. It was worth the wait.
See you Monday.
Thanks so very much.
Howdy and afternoon Brad
Stopped back by for two reasons. One is to let ya know, I signed up for tomorrow, and the little gold star is under my photo now.
Hi Brad,
Thanks for the post will be there !!
Thanks Brad. Can't make the Monday but did register for Lenn's webinar. Thanks for setting them up.
Wow ! Brad, you guys rock ! There will be a wealth of info presented at these classes ! What a great resource and opportunity for all the AR members ! Is an honor to be a part of this great community !
Brad,
Thanks for continuing to create quality content. As practioners practice what we preach I believe it has the potential to change the way the public views our industry.
Steve
This sounds like a good time for some of my more general questions.
Hope to make it!
Brad, I took your class last week on SEO. Very good. I'm looking forward to these.
Thanks Brad! I will try to make Thursday's class!
Brad, thanks, I didn't know about this great service! I'll check it out. Keep up the "responsive" great service!!

Brad - This is a wonderful new feature for Active Rain. I have not had a chance to attend one of the classes, but I am sure that i will take advantage of it soon.
Brad,
Thanks for providing this information; For those of us who are unable to make it to the AM classes, will they be available in in video after the fact?
Brad thanks for providing the info and classes we are looking for. I hope to talk to you tomorrow.
Hi Brad...you guys are awesome, by giving back to us so often.
I have got to get on the ball and start talking some classes. I know that I am missing a lot of the benegits of AR. Got to make the time!
Thanks Brad, will try and make it Thursday, sounds like an interesting topic. looking forward to it.
Bill
There is always wonderful information here.... I have been trying to get all the agents at my office to join.... Out of 54 I have gotten 4? I am still working on them!
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.
Hi Missy - I know you've been swamped, just let me know when it's convenient for you. I know many members on AR could and will benefit from you teaching and sharing some of your knowledge and expertise. I'll keep in contact with you, I'd love to get you in sometime in March if that'll be possible. Thanks. :-)
cool information.. we need this thanks so much for all your work folks..
Brad, sometimes I am just in awe of what a great service you guys give. I know of no other industry that has this level of free help in learning social media - kudos to you and everyone at active rain!
Sorry I missed the one I previously signed up for but when real estate beckons, you know. I just signed up for Thursday. I want to here Lenn's voice to match up with her post. That way when i read future post form here, it will seem like she is talking to me.
So, does anyone ever GRADUATE from ActiveRain University? Love the classes!
Rats, I was in a meeting this morning. This sounds like something to look out for and attend next time. =)
How long before the library is rolling so we can access the classes on our schedule?
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. :-)
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!
Wow, I did not know there are these training sessions... good to know there is training as to how to utilize AR to the full!
Brad, I will definitely take some of these. Thank you!!
Brad - Was lucky enough to be able to take one of these sofar. I definitely plan on taking some more. Thanks for the service and your time.
I have a feeling there is some really great nuggets of info in these classes.
I will be there soon!
This is terrific....I really need SEO help. I understand that my site is doing pretty well on it's own, but I need to figure out what things to do to make it better.
Brad, thank you for the post. I will be on the call and will look forward to learning some new tips. Thank you, Mark

Hi Brad,
Another day and more classes! I love it! Thanks so much for all your excellent help!
Sincerely, Deb
Brad,
Thanks. I didn't know this service was available. I'll try to take advantage of it.
This is so cool. Thanks for setting these up. I appreciate everything I learn on Active Rain.
Wow Another plus to be on active rain. I love it. Learning is a never ending process
Can't wait to take a class. Sorry I will miss this one today.
It's almost here!
I am signed up for today's class and will definitely sign up for the one on Thursday. Sometimes it is really hard to meet the schedule--clients don't know my schedule--but I always try to put AR first!!!
ActiveRain delivers so much it's incredible. Thanks for the classes and resources.
I've already attended three of these webinars and they have just been wonderful! I have learned so much from each one of them - I know to have a pad and pen ready to jot down all the amount of great information that is put out.
An hour very well spent - looking forward to today's class!
Brad, I need your help or if you can connect me with one of your tech guuys. I am preparing my outside blog and I goofed and attached a too large graphic file to my top header and I can't change. I don't know where to go to?? Please advise.
Thanks, How do I find information about upcoming classes. I would love to find out more about the active rain community and grow my business on the internet.
Brad,
I attended Jason's class today, and it was well worth the time. Picked up on a lot of good points, and look forward to more training thru AR.
Thanks for the information. I have never taken one of these classes.
Probably about time that I started.
Jerry
I missed today's class but look forward to catching the next one
Brad - I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the class today - hope we can get another one on the schedule soon!
Brad, These sessions, classes & camps you all are doing are great. I really enjoyed today.
Steve - thanks. It was great seeing you at RainCamp and really enjoyed our lunch with you and the others. BTW - I was told by someone that the drink is on the left and the bread is on the right, now I'm really confused! lol! :-) I'll be posting photos later.
Jason - I saw the surveys and reviews, they looked great! Looking forward to having you back soon, hopefully on a regular basis. Thanks again for teaching the class, we had the most registered members and attendees for your class in the history of ARU. That's Awesome!! :-) Thank you again.
Brad I'll pass this on to our newest agent Hank. I'm swamped this next week so I'll catch something in the future.
THANKYOU...THANKYOU...THANKYOU 1000 X'S I THANK YOU!!

Thank ya'll for putting together such a wonderful program. I can't imagine being able to obtain so much information from one easy place to obtain it. I greatly appreciate everyone's time and effort in putting this series of classes together.
Great information Brad ! The Active Rain staff is doing a great job !
Brad - I was just wondering about the reviews/surveys - glad to hear it! Let me know when you would like to schedule another session.
Thank you Brad- Future classes look very exciting...
Jason - We will contact you this week to calendar some additional topics you'd be willing to share at the AR University. Thank you again for sharing last week, the member responses to your session were fabulous. You did a stellar job and we appreciate you!
