Active Rain is an awesome tool. However...
Because of the way it is structured, it is difficult or even impossible to do things like video, virtual tours, or capture leads with a lead capture form.
But - there IS another way.
This is How You Can Set up Your OWN Customizable Blog For Free....
In fact, You can Have Your Blog Up & Running In As Little As 30 Minutes. Regardless of Your Computer Skills, Even if You Don't Know any HTML or the Word "BLOG" Sounds Like Some Foreign Language!
To begin with, Blogger only takes 3 clicks to get started. So really - you can set your own blog up in about 4 minutes. Once it is set up, the interface is super simple to use and you can can photos, videos, virtual tours, mortgage calculatoirs - and yes - even a lead capture form.
The best part about using Blogger is that is it free. And it doesn't have a steep learning curve. There's no way I could put step by step instructions on setting it up and using it so I have now included my BluePrint Guide to Blogger as a part of my 21st Century Agent's Toolkit. (it's all free)
I have set up over 20 of my own free blogs that are keyword optimized for different parts of town. (hint, hint)
