The Power of Active Rain

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with RICOASTALLIVING.COM

A few weeks ago, during my Active Rain browsing, it occurred to me that a lot of people write about things that Active Rain has done for them and many times I hear read the phrase "the power of Active Rain"

I started a group called just that "the power of Active Rain". I think we could use a group like this where all the positive things that have happened to people can be compiled.

I think it would be a useful group to send someone new to get an idea of just what could happen if they started to blog here on Active Rain.

I was going to reblog Lenn Harleys' post and let that be the first post in the group, but I decided that I should actually introduce the group first.

Another post that relates to the AR power is our very own Brad Andersohns Raindance.

Older posts that you have written are also welcome!

If you have any posts that pertain to the Power of Active Rain, please feel free to join and place them in the group.

This is great! Thanks for inviting me. I expect to learn a lot, as I already have.

First question: what does Rainmaker status include? I am one, according to the line under my photo, but I'm sure I'm not paying anything for the privilege. What does this designation enable for me? Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for joining and contributing to the new group...as of this morning 198 new people and 20 posts!  Together we can keep everyone aware of what actually happens here in Active Rain.   Hopefully this group will give some inspiration to people who are uncertain.

This group is open to everyone who has a story to tell, even if you did not receive an invitation. Many of the invitations came back to me as some have changed their emails or companies!

Hope it doesnt grow as large as the newbies group:) Although that would be a good tribute to Active Rain.

Great idea for a group - I will definitely keep it in mind as most of what I know to do is from something I found on ActiveRain - however, I don't have time to blog as much as I would like - could use a buyer's agent but not quite busy enough to hire one just yet.
