Find Out If They Read Your E-mail!
Anyone ever tell you they didn't get your e-mail? Ever have a time when it was really important for you to know that your email got through and was read? If so then here's a great trick for you.
Now you can secretively find out when your e-mail was read and where they were when they read it by simply typing a few letters after the recipient's e-address when you send your message. Moments after the addressee opens your message you will receive a confirmation showing the exact
|
date and time that the message was opened with other confirmation information plus a map showing where the recipient was when opening your message. And the recipient will never know!
Scary stuff -- but if you are so inclined you can track up to 10 messages a month on the house. Premium services are available for a modest monthly fee.

E-mail your Huge Files With Ease!
It happens to the best of us. We need to get a file to a friend or associate in a hurry but it's too big to e-mail because our internet service provider blocks big files. Where to turn?
There are a lot of options and this one may be the easiest to use. Just type in your message and upload any file up to 100MB. Your recipient will receive an e-mail just about instantly with a link to the file -- ready to download.
No registration required - and you can use their free service to send files up to 100MB in size without any cost. This will usually satisfy the casual user but these nice folks have other services for power users that will accommodate files of up to 2 GB with all sorts of bells and whistles - all for a modest monthly fee.

Get the Walk Score For Your Neighborhood
Some like to walk - some like to sit - and some like to ride. For those who like to walk, this great place will rate your neighborhood for "walkability".
They calculate the walkability for your address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. and presenting them on a map around your house. Then they score the walkability of your house's location on a scale of 0-100 with 90-100 being a "Walkers' Paradise" where errands and entertainment can be accomplished on foot and you could get by without owning a car. 0-25 is a "Driving Only" location where virtually no neighborhood destinations are within walking range.
Perhaps if you really like to walk very loooong distances you could go for a "0" - or you could get your exercise walking to your car!

Hi Debra, this is a great post. We are going to take some time and check out these places. Thanks for the tips.
Interesting Blog - Thanks for sharing.
Hi Debra... Great tips! I am definitely going to check these out! Thanks for sharing.
I like the large size email advice... most people don't realize the size of files... what's fast on some connections turns into a glacial nightmare for those who don't have the high speed access.
Debra, Great post. Thanks for sharing all this information. I bookmarked this to come back and further research. Have a great day.
Patty, Scott, Bob, Steve and Stewart...thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I am happy you are finding interesting information that may be usefull to you.
Chuck...thanks, I absolutely know what you are saying!
Have a great weekend, All:-)
Thanks for those tips. I especially like the e-mail tracking; I was not aware of that one. Also, I would liketo compliment you on your blog layout...very nice indeed! Want to share how you do that so well?
Oh- and on the walk-score... I tend to show this to clients who are want an urban environment. For those who like country-walks they'll be disheartened- the higher scores go to those who live very close to commerce.
Chuck, that is a smart use of the "walk score". And a very good point....why does an urban walk get a higher score than a country walk (which we have more of in my area of Northern Illinois). It seems a bit subjective, doesn't it? I live in Cary IL and it is a great place to walk...beautiful scenery and even hilly near my house...Fox River views...not too much traffic...quiet...nature....it is very nice. Not too many places to walk TO from a more country location, but is is excellent walking!
Kevin....thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments. I have been working on my blog, but also see many more creative ones here and so much to learn and improve upon. I'm happy to share...feel free to give me a call or email me.
Hi Debra. Thanks for sharing the awesome tips! Keep them coming.
My Pleasure, Vincent...thanks so much for stopping by:-)
Now you got me wondering how you break up the three columns of information and make it look like a print newsletter! That looks nice! Do your e-mails that you send to your clients look the same?
Debra-Thanks for providing such useful information. On #1, I sometimes send a read receipt with
e-mails. Not everyone acknowledges, however. I think I have a tendancy to over e-mail. I'm now trying for a more personal touch by making more telephone calls.
I like the political donation thing. It is interesting to know where people are politically. As Realtors, we walk a fine line between expressing our opinions and alienating people who don't believe in the same things that we do.
I also find the walkability index interesting. I lived in the City of Chicago for 15 years and could walk to any number of stores or restaurants (even into "the Loop"). The most difficult thing for me to get used to when I moved to the suburbs was that there was nothing within walking distance.
Great information, I'm looking forward to more Cybertips.
I used these tips for awhile last year. Good luck with it:) It is convenient if you have the time to email it to everyone. It so happens, the same tips and script, go all over the country to other agents.
It's a Good Life!
