And I owe it all to Maureen Henry. When I first signed up with Active Rain, I did exactly as they had suggested. I read blog after blog and digested so many wonderful things. I next started to contribute by posting responses and did my best at trying to give back a little. I next got the courage to actually create a blog.
One of the blogs, how to post to Craigslist using VFlyer, authored by Maureen, was a blog that stood out. So, feeling confident, I sat out to create a VFlyer for my own staging company located in Atlanta. I've used it to post to Craigslist and the response has been tremendous.
I never expected to be "featured" on VFlyers home page but... am absolutely thrilled! Here's the link to VFlyer's Home Page (my Vflyer is one of two). FYI - this is my first time putting links into a blog. I do hope it works!
Maureen - Thank you!!!

Yeah, Kathy! How exciting for you! Doesn't it feel great to be recognized like that?
I would love to see it - and I will. Can you check your link? It doesn't seem to work. I will go to there either way.
Way to go!
I LOVE the energy here! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Oh ya... PLEASE fix the link. We is dying to see it.

Kathy-
It looks great! You did an excellent job - that is why you were featured! So awesome!
I want to see it too. Congratulations.
What may be happening to you is when you copy and paste your link into the window that pops up, you need to first delete the http:// and then paste the link.
I just fixed the links!!!
Sheron - you're right, I needed to first delete the http://. THANKS!
Okay, off to see two new prospects. Wish me luck.
Kathy
Thanks everyone.
Here's the actual VFlyer itself. I copied the link from Craigslist so that you can see what it looks like: Kathy's VFlyer on Craigslist As you can see, I used one of their templates.

Great information! You said you have great response from this---how many leads do you think so far courtesy of VFlyer?
Kathy you have done well. I took Maureen's advice when she first blogged on this and have found VFlyer simple, effective and most definitely professional. Being able to track the results is a bonus too.
I especially like where you have stated "Our efforts focus on results. Having helped several homeowners, Realtors and investors - We're here to Help You!" Do you mind if I use that in my marketing?
Jackson - I don't mind at all if you use that in your marketing.
Andi - Three of the last 4 prospects have come from the VFlyer posting. I believe what's happening is that they see the Vflyer and then they link to the web site.
Marci - I'm going to have to pass on the trip to SC. I have two detailed consultations I need to prepare by Monday. I was so looking forward to meeting you.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
this is a great idea! i have been using vflyer to advertise for my staged listings but haven't thought about doing this for my own business. brilliant!
cheers,
