Taking the big leap!

Hi All, 

This morning I went Pro, and it feels good. What to do now? I'll tell you.

But first I'd like to disclose my reasons for going Pro: 

1. Give something back (I'm new to the forum and haven't used many of the resources available here, however I've been feasting greedily of off the podcasts. Boy are they excellent). Keep up the awesome work, Brandon, Josh and all the other people making BP the best resource to anyone in real estate. 

2. I'm aiming to be an active member and meet new people to do business with, share experiences with and maybe even establish friendships with. 

3. I will occasionally be posting sweet investment opportunities that my brokerage are marketing for sale. Normally we would only engage our in-house network and sell our properties that way, however it's time to embrace the future and social media to reach a bigger audience. ( I also have a few years of experience consulting Fortune 500 companies on new-media strategies, meaning I do have a bias towards social media as I've seen it transform the way marketeers reach their audience and have direct effect on the bottom line). 

Also, I did  some research on the success of the Marketplace and I read mixed reviews, but I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy so I hope to prove the negatrons (glass-half-empty people) wrong. Please share do's and don'ts from your own experience with me!

I'm excited!

Lars
