HOW TO POST MY OPEN HOUSE ON THE COMMUNITY CALENDAR?

Rule #1:  You may only post to the BubbleLife Community where the property is located.  Remember, this is a free service for real estate agents to get their news out. It is not a "free for all" and the purpose is to report to the local community that a home is for sale or open in the community.  

Rule #2:  The editors moderate, approve, or deny, and make the final decision as to which community your post will be submitted.  

1. Go to www.bubblelife.com and log in at the top right
2. Once logged in, click on your email address on the upper-right corner of the page.
3. Under "Sites," click on your site. (This will take you to your Public Online Directory Page.)
4. Under "Tasks", click on "Tools."  (This will take you to "your back office" for submitting news)

Don't be overwhelmed!  It’s a full local marketing system! 

1. In the "Views" box, click on "Post an event." 
2. Fill out the boxes as needed
3. Click "Publish” - NOTE: This places your event on your public directory news page on the right-hand side.  

YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET – FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET YOUR NEWS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

1. If you clicked “Publish” as instructed above, you are on the “Distribute Your Post" page.  This step gets your news out to the community.
2. Select the BubbleLife Community where your property lives.  It stays in the community where it is located.  Unless you have a compelling story that it is a vacation home.  
3. Click "Share with Community."
4. Click the "Complete Tab" and then click Continue

We recommend that you post 7 days prior to the open house so that you get a long span of coverage in the email newsletter and on the community news website.
