Part of it is luck and a large majority of it is you and the effort you put into your post. To get your post featured
- You can't have missspellings. Use the spell check
- You ain't going to get it featured if it ain't gramatically correct.
- Punctuate correctly
- Use Pictures or illustrations
- Be informative
- Don't promote (heavily) yourself in the post. Once may get by but if it is about CALL ME you won't get featured
- It helps to use different fonts and font colors
You have to remember there are thousands of posts being written. It is hard for AR management to read them all. It make take a year to get featured. I myself am not a great writer, but over 2 years I have 10 featured posts. Some people are featured a lot because they deserve it.
Some people complain that it is the same people quite a bit of time. But you have to remember that some of those people blog alot. They have been on Active rain a long time. Management is used to them. Like all things in life we go to what we are comfortable with. Long time bloggers are comfortable to the people that pick featured posts. But they write good posts too.
So that is the last key. Blog and blog. The more you blog and follow these suggestions the better your chance of being featured. It is a numbers game. The more you are seen and the longer you are here you have a better chance of getting a featured post
