My Travels Through Pinterest

It is no secret that I am social media junkie. I love social media, it has done wondrous things for me and I am an eternal explorer in that space.

My new social media sweetheart is Pinterest, and I am not alone.
According to recent studies, Pinterest is now driving more referral traffic on the web than Google+, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn — combined. This is powerful stuff from a “traffic” perspective, but anyone who has tried Pinterest knows the real power is in its clean, visual and addictive nature.

I have quite a few boards: recipes, fashion inspirations, travel destinations, vision board ideas, home staging tips, Western Massachusetts…all sorts of wonderful things are pinned there. Well, it would simple to pin and run, but I am a woman of action and as such, I have been working my way through my boards and trying things out.

Travels through Pinterest

To date I have made t-shirt scarves and ribbon flowers with my daughters, terrariums, framed “white board”, numerous recipes and have shopped for new apparel with pins in mind.

So, follow me and my journey through Pinterest. What are you pinning these days and have you tried any of the crafts, recipes, designs, etc.? I would love to see pictures, if so. Put the link in the comments below!

fine print: only log into Pinterest if you have done all the productive things you need to do in that day. It is a giant wormhole and can be a timesuck. My friend Jeff wrote a great post about that recently.

Podcamp is Coming! Pod Camp Western MA 4

Podcamp Western Mass 2011
I am so excited to be attending my fourth Pod Camp in Western Massachusetts. PodCamp Western MA 1 was my first “unconference” ever and in attending that camp, I started my exciting journey deep into the geeky recesses of the interwebs and social media. PodCamp Western MA 4 will be at Holyoke Community College on Saturday, February 25, 2012.

I have now attended over ten camp style “unconferences” all over the country, but my favorite by far is Podcamp Western MA. Here in Western MA we have this really great crowd of talented and giving social media and internet rockstars who graciously share their knowledge in this fabulous format.

In case you aren’t sure what happens at a PodCamp, I will share my previous wrap-up posts from that last three PodCamp Western MA events:

Let me know if you have questions about PodCamp and I hope to see you there!

Wondering About Pinterest? Here is my Home board to the rescue!

I have to admit, when I first logged onto Pinterest, I didn’t get it at all. It took me awhile, but I am now a big fan (read addict) and love to use the site to organize all sorts of things.

One of my pinboards is all about what else?…HOMES, of course!

If you are looking for inspiration, ideas, decor or design tips Pinterest is a great place to start and my homes board might be just the thing!

Take a peek and let me know what you think. Are you on Pinterest, too? Follow me and let’s share great ideas together.

Resolutions are for Sissies

Resolutions are for Sissies….Action is where it’s at!

This New Year’s Eve, throw out the Resolution and get on board with ACTION!
Every year we question each other, “Have any resolutions?”. Well…I say resolutions are for sissies and the real stuff gets done when we get off our duffs and leap into action.

I wouldn’t tell you that action is where it is at unless I had an action plan myself. So, I will go first…feel free to share yours with me, also!

• I have already started to get my “files” in order and onto the cloud so that I can be more efficient in more places.
• I love all things online, but I have begun to send good ole fashioned snail mail style notes. If you didn’t get one from me and want one, let me know!
• Real Estate is stressful. I bet your career is, too. About three months ago I began a regular work out regime that is helping me to feel better, look better and reduce my stress!
• I have a new mantra. I want to share it with you: “Any day that I have more than I need, in any way, is a day of abundance.” As a single mom, sometimes I worry about making ends meet, but I do it. I will continue to say this mantra (over and over and over) and want you to remind me if you see me worrying.

Of course, I am also poised to put into action a fabulous marketing plan to get your home sold or light up my negotiating skills to help you buy a home. Maybe it is holiday nostalgia, but I am on an action plan to make 2012 the most outstanding year, yet. Anyone care to join me? After all, ACTION is where it is at and resolutions are for sissies!

Happy New Year from your favorite Western Massachusetts REALTOR,
Lesley
