Active Rain Members- Flag That Post!


There are so many posts written about how to get featured on Active Rain. It is a consistant treasure hunt for some members to figure out what makes for a feature worthy post and then how to get it featured.

Of course; I, along with Broker Bryant and the AR gods know the secret to getting featured on Active Rain. You can read all about the secret by clicking here to discover the amazing secrets to a featured post.

But seriously, the road to the coveted gold star is paying it forward. Givers gain readers who then flag for features.


Instead of thinking about how you should have a featured post go around the Active Rain community and find the posts that other members have written that you feel should be featured. Leave a nice comment for the blogger. Then all you do; is click on the flag below their post. You are given several options there.

After you click on the flag option below a member's post, it looks like this:

Check the 'Feature' box. You can even explain why you think this certain post deserves to be featured.

A word of warning! AR  tracks the use of the flag so be careful how you use this feature option. If you check it off for yourself all the time they will know that!

Liz, great re-blog tutorial on the flag function. Something many new to Active Rain and perhaps others too who didn't know how to use it.
