The folks at ActiveRain<\/a> are putting together a contest. It’s Pygmalion<\/i> for webloggers, wherein experienced real estate webloggers take eager young blogging caterpillars into their tutelage, and, Henry Higgins-like, bring forth beautiful blogging butterflies in a few months’ time. The winning pair of bloggers will split $5,000 amongst their favorite charities.<\/p>\n

(I predict my favorite charity will turn out to have something to do with stray animals.)<\/p>\n

In any case, I’m looking for a patsy<\/s>, er pigeon<\/s>, er victim<\/s>, er volunteer — I’m looking for a volunteer to learn the art and science of real estate weblogging with me as your tutor<\/s>, er mentor<\/s>, er insufferable bastard.<\/p>\n

To disclaim is to disclose: I am not the gentlest teacher in the world. But I know a lot<\/i> about weblogging, and I can teach you as much as can be taught about this art, this praxis, this obsession.<\/p>\n

If you are at or very near the stage of being a total wannablogger with a will to make the leap to something that can blow kisses at true greatness, you’re my ideal candidate. I love you best in Phoenix, but if you’re not here, you’re just not here.<\/p>\n

If you want to learn to do real estate weblogging wisely and well, with style, with grace, with humor and panache — I’m your<\/i> volunteer.<\/p>\n

But: I really, really like to win<\/a>. So: Write to me<\/a> and tell me why I should pick you as my<\/i> co-competitor…
