When I first heard about blogging I did not really see any benefit to my business. I also figured what could I possible write about that would be of interest to others. But soon I was writing my first blog.
My initial thought was, Well, that's the end of my creative juices. I have nothing else to write about. Then after the positive feedback I received from my first blog, idea after idea flowed into my mind. You know it is an addiction when you are in the middle of an important meeting and you are thinking, What should I blog about next?
What I find makes ActiveRain different from the other popular sites, such as Blogger, MySpace, or Face Book, are three main things:
- You get points for activity. Blogging, commenting, and random points, such as checking your point summary or sending feedback. Now these points do not mean much in the real world but on ActiveRain they inrease your ranking. The higher your points the greater the likelihood of being featured.
- You are apart of a social network with real estate professionals from every part of the business. The best
part is you are involved with like-minded people who are willing to share information and are open to learning. - Your ActiveRain activity leads to a higher web ranking. This higher ranking means potential customers are more likely to find you in a web search. After I posted my profile my Google ranking almost immediately went up!
If you are apprehensive about blogging, view it as an opportunity to share your knowledge with a community that is eager to learn. They are here to promote their businesses, as well as help you promote yours.
Join us, and most importantly have fun! Welcome to the age of blogging for business.
