The ActiveRain RainMaker - It's More Than Just A Membership!

 

The Real Estate Industry has had a pretty rough ride these past few years and many Industry Professionals that remain are desperately trying to find new and creative ways to survive.  Many are turning to ActiveRain because they have heard and seen that this is where they can learn how to use the Internet and Blogging to their advantage, and turn around their business.

ActiveRain is more than just a Real Estate Industry Social Networking community.  In the past 2 or so years, the network has grown from 20,000 members to well over 150,000 to date.  On average, 200 new Industry Professionals join each day.  ActiveRain get more than 2,000,000 visitors each month, with about 80% being consumers.  The community accounts for nearly 12,000 new blog posts each month, and currently hosts over 1.5 million Blog articles provided by members.  The average rainmaker post gets over 500 views per month.

 

What do ActiveRain members get as Rainmakers?

 

What are the "Benefits" of a RainMaker Membership?

Many in our community have posted articles about their success and ROI (return on investment) from their RainMaker Blogs.  We have seen countless testimonials from ActiveRain members who have experienced first hand the results and business that gets generated solely from their ActiveRain Blogs.  Members share their "Real Life" stories of how effective Blogging on AR can grow your referral business, consumer business, and relationships within the network and within your local community and neighborhoods.

Here's what some have to say:

"When I first started on AR, I got many friendly e-mails and comments.  I think this gives AR a personal touch.  AR does work. I signed up for Rainmaker last month and will be writing a contract for a buyer who contacted me through one of my posts."  Vanna Siackhasone

"I have gotten several clients and some agent referrals directly from AR and continue to learn from the posts of others, hoping that I can share whatever I can too."  Susan Neal

"I have learned so very much from these wonderful people on AR! Best real estate site on the Internet, and I am happy to be a part of AR!" Ginger Moore

"In May 2007, I started walking in the Active Rain (ok, maybe crawling) and by the end of the year we had made tens of thousands of Washingtons directly from blogging leads."  Erion Shehaj

"AR has helped my business tremendously to the tune of 11 closings to date."  David Serle

"ActiveRain has put me on the map.  I receive at least THREE calls each week, just because my name comes up on the first page of a Google Search.  These buyers already know about me before they call.  Those that want to make their business happen, will become rainmakers, and they will find the way to be successful."   Don Bradbury

Hi Brad,

Thanks for confirming all of this. I've made tons of great pals at The Rain, including you :-)

Tomorrow the new college semester begins, and as I've done for the past two semesters, I will have a session where I pull Active Rain up right in the classroom, showing these brand new agents the power of the rain as they venture out to make their millions!


Hugs,

Tamara

Brad, you have concisely outlined the benefits of ActiveRain.  I have been using AR for over 8 months now and it has changed my approach to learning, networking and real estate marketing.

I just noticed the update post. Is there any way for previously grandfathered in rainmakers to get that status back? I've been out of real estate & off of AR for several months, due to having a baby and then travelling to be with my dad as he took chemo, and just got back on and noticed that I am now limited to members only posts now.

Raine - contact Steven Graham at ActiveRain and see if they can work something out for you.  You'll find his contact info at http://activerain.com/about.  Tell him I sent you and explain the situation, I'm sure something can be worked out. Good luck. :-)
