I have achieved quite a bit here on Active Rain since I first joined last year.  At that time I remember sayng "What would I have to write about?"  Since then I realize that I actually enjoy blogging.

I have gotten to number 1 in my area, passed my friend John in points and he's the guy who suggested I start doing it in the first place.  I have seen my blogs get to the first page of google and I have finally begun to get leads from my blogs.  I have closed one transaction so far this year that is a result of an AR lead and I have 2 more clients now who came to me via the hyper local blogs we did in July & August.  I've even been featured a few times in some of my favorite groups like Whacked and Club Chaos.

The one thing I can't seem to achieve is the featured post.  I know I shouldn't care, but I do.  I've written a few things that I thought might be feature worthy, but nothing.  I think we need to start a group where those of us who have never been featured can put our posts. 

I know that if I keep getting leads then i'll get over it but for now my feelings are a bit hurt :-)

Hi Stacey.  Elusive is right!

I guess with 157,000 "authors" and counting, those little gold stars have to be spread pretty thin...

Congrats on your closing.  Better than a little gold star.

Keep at it,

Ken

Hi Stacey-Ann, I know what you mean, I'm not sure how they are selected. It seems like many of the same people are featured over and over again. I guess to write a " featured blog " would be nice, but like Ken mentioned, your successes are even more rewarding.

Stacey-Ann,  I'll take the closed transaction over the feature any day!  I hear ya, though.

Greg, here is how you do it --Right under the post is a little red flag (next to "Bookmark" and the e-mail icon). You need to copy the URL from the top of the page first and then click on the flag, click on the Feature box, add in the URL and explain why you think it should be featured.  Then the powers that be at AR decide if they agree with you.  If they do, you're in.  If not, you'll never know but keep blogging!

I have only 3 featured out of over 700.  I don't write all quaility posts, not my forte.  But I will take the business over the feature any day!

Charlie - thanks for reading some of my older posts

Ken - I know, but i'm competitive :-)

Greg - It does seem to me that the same people get featured all the time

Ken & William - I'll take closed transactions any day myself.  I'll keep working for the elusive feature.
