First thing you want to do is set up your Referral alerts.

That way it will email you when someone is looking to refer a client to your area.

To set it up, you go to the sidebar of your home page and click on "referral network", then again in the side bar look for referral alerts.

Click on "Create New Alert". and fill in the city where you are.

While it's use varies depending on the area, the alerts are a great "set it, and forget it" feature that ActiveRain provides to it's members and it should be one of the first things you setup after your profile.

Second thing you want to set up is your Listing Router.

Got to your profile, click hit router on the side bar and then in the "my markets" enter your city, and then the URL for your listings page.

Then when people are on your profile and they click on your listing tab, it'll take them to your listings page on your website.

Hope that helps, let me know if it results in a lead for you.

Hi Riel- 

I think that you have just hit upon the most under-used feature on Active Rain!

Hi Riel, Also with the new and overwhelmed crowd.  I have a question:  When I entered a city under Hit Router, it says: .49 - $ 50 min.  Does that mean what I think it means, that I have to put aside $ 50 per month per city for the leads?  Appreciate all the help!  Thanks!

Riel, I set up my Referral Alert and Listing Router just as you said.  Your directions were clear which gave me confidence to jump in and check it out.  It's easy! I recommend others who have not tried it to go and test the waters.  Thank you, again.  You were ever so helpful.  Happy Holidays to you and yours. Fondly, Kim

Hi Riel,

I set up my Referral alerts but had trouble on the Listings Router.  I entered my city in "My markets" but there was just a URL badge that wouldn't click and no place to enter the URL.  Also, doesn't appear it saved anything when I tried to repeat the process.  Any help would be appreciated, I'm slogging along but this is not my area of expertise to say the least!!
