5 Hints - Your Profile This is written for Real Living ETeam - 5 Hints about YOUR ActiveRain Profile
It applies to all ActveRain Members profiles
If you are NOT an ActiveRain 
you can still get a lot out of ActiveRain but you have to fill out your ActiveRain profile! Your profile is public.
A member of Real Living's ETeam is on the ActiveRain Dashboard featured on only his second post! Above is not his profile. Above is just an example of an incomplete profile!
Go team Go! ETeam that is... Real Living (brokerage I am affiliated with) that is.
... and his post inspired a post by one of the top members of ActiveRain, Lenn Harley of HomeSeekers in MD and VA.
This applies to anyone who is NOT a RainMaker... really. No matter what brokerage, brand. Any one in the real estate industry who is an ActiveRain member but not a RainMaker use your profile!
The Real Living agents post is Members Only because he is NOT an ActiveRain RainMaker... he is talking to others in the industry only. Nothing wrong with that. Just make the most of what you've got though. You have a public profile. Fill it out. Use that space.
If you join ActiveRain but do NOT become a RainMaker here are hints about the ActiveRain Profile...
Real Living ETeam - 5 Hints about YOUR ActiveRain Profile
- Your profile is all important. The public and search engines can see your profile. Work on your profile. Add links to your profile. Add the link(s) to your ETeam page on your profile... Links within blog posts or even in the sidebar of the blog are invisible to the general public and search engines unless you are a RainMaker.
- Comments on other members public posts could be important. Maybe... The search engine (GOOGLE) link is theirs. Follow ActiveRain Guidelines and do not use another members posts comments to promote yourself or you could get kicked to the curb. Perhaps commenting on posts of other LOCAL members who are Rainmakers could give the public a glimpse of your intelligence, enthusiasm, personality, you can not add links but your having left a comment creates a link to your profile. Focus on commenting on non competitors... local home inspectors, loan officers, local home stagers... if they are blogging good content for consumers that the search engines are picking up, a good comment on their post with the link to your profile that is created is not such a bad place to be.
- The link to your profile (in each comment you post on another members public post) is important. Make it work.
- Understand that unless you are a RainMaker anything you post on your ActiveRain blog is Members Only. Your post is invisible to the general public and the search engines.
- Have I mentioned your profile is all important when you are NOT a RainMaker?
If you are blogging yourself or have hired an assistant or service to post to ActiveRain for you... be sure you focus on your profile.
If YOUR Profile says: "Use this section to write about yourself" You need to do some work on your profile.... This is visible to the search engines (GOOGLE.)
