No! They need to come up with their own inspiration, develop and express in their own voice. And they should start with what they know: their community, their market, their lifestyle, their life.
That's for writing.
For reading they need to meander about the site, and see what calls out to them. God knows what you'll find!

I can't remember the name of the contest, but there was one that invited agents to share what they wish they'd known when they first started in the business.

Anyone else remember what that was? I only remember that I thought the contest entries would be helpful to every new agent.

Between the contest post for new agents and the ask an ambassador group I'd only add the " ActiveRain Newbies " group and the "getting started on AR section which has it's own link" and is filled with great information.

I'm at a loss, Fred... as I tend not to read these because it's been so long since I was a new agent. Didn't we have a contest on this topic a few months ago? Doesn't AR provide good templates for neighborhood posts and for market posts?

I would add that reading some posts written by home stagers would be very helpful. Most new agents don't have a clue about the importance of presentation and preparation.
