Maybe you have heard about ActiveRain. Maybe you got an invitation from a business friend. So you joined. You thought, Hey there are 160,000 plus real estate professional here. I am going to write a couple of posts, browse the referral section, and really catapult my business. Now you never log in. If you are paying you are thinking about canceling. You are wondering, What's all the hype is about?
If you joined ActiveRain and attended the webinars, read blogs, contacted an ambassador, spent time blogging, posted to localism, and took advantage of many of the features here, then you are glad you joined aActiveRain. You can learn about SEO, how to generate business , and make new friends and business partners all over the country. Bottom line is if you put in the work you will be rewarded. This network has no magic bullets. But it does have a bag full of tips advise and ways to improve your Real Estate business.
I can say 100 percent that ActiveRain has helped my business, added to my bottom line, and is a big reason I am still a smiling Realtor today. But if you are looking for one of those Internet earn tons of money deals that promise to let you in on "the secret to success" then don't join ActiveRain

Charlies, well said. I've told my manager in the past that there is a wealth of information on AR - not just about real estate but about SEO, keywords, tags, etc. that is very useful in building your business. Perhaps AR isn't for everyone but like you said there are no magic bullets here on AR or anywhere for that matter. You need to work at being successful. Nothing in life is for free! Good post.
