Being one of only a handful of agents in my market who've embraced social media in my business, I get a lot of questions about the how and why of blogs, facebook, twitter, etc, so I've recently decided to help others by sharing what I know in a 'classroom environment.' Monday morning will be the frist such class and I'd like to demonstrate to my fellow agents, by example, the power of Active Rain.

With that in mind, I'm asking for my fellow Rainers to chime in with the why and how of Active Rain. What's it done for your business? Feel free to share real-life stories, links to any AR blog posts that you feel address this well, and advice on how to get started. My hope is that these agents will get to see, firsthand, the power of interaction on AR, so go ahead and tell us your story!

I believe the following video may open a few eyes as well:

Ryan, if I was going to rate my most important internet marketing it would first involve Google which is reached through blogging, Facebook which is where the world is, and Twitter which is the most Wiki media going. Active Rain is a big part of this. I believe that Active Rain with it's over 161,000 real estate professionals and growing will overtake realtor.com in five years or less as the most important real estate portal. Where sites like realtor.com and others pay for position, Active Rain earns it through organic participation. Let me give an example: Active Rain had a series challenge this year. I wrote a 7 part series on a specific aspect of real estate activity. Two days after I finished I went to Google and did a 4 word search using Oklahoma City in the phrase. I had 4 of the articles on Page One. Instant success. I would add, if you are looking for referrals, wouldn't you want be a part of the largest network of active real estate professionals?

Ryan, as I mentioned to Joe, I am also new to AR. My goal is to provide informative blogs on our end of the real estate industry as well as local events and activities. From my very brief experience with the members-only side, you are in for a wonderful adventure. My daughter, Kimberly, and I are launching our home staging business "2 Swans A-Staging" in the OKC/Edmond Metro and will be happy to help you "spread the word." With that said, please feel free to contact me.
