How Subscribing To ActiveRain Blogs Changed My Life

By
Real Estate Technology with Realogy Holdings Co

Really...
OK.  Maybe it didn't change my life per se, but it did change the way I participate on ActiveRain; and since active rain is something I dedicate a sizable chuck of my time towards lately, my title is technically correct.

Subscribing to blogs has enhanced my Active Rain experience in so many ways, but i thought I would list the top three for your convenience.

1.     I get pertinant information daily from localities that I would not get information from normally.  When I put the pieces of information together, it paints a broader picture that I don't get reading the national news.

2.     I get to read extremely well written articles that make me laugh, frown and everything in between.  I still read artcles from the diferent groups to which I belong, but subscribing to the writers I enjoy provides me with a constant stream of well-thought-out and entertaining information.

3.     I build relationships and network.  After commenting on the same person's blog over time, she gets to know me and we interact.  This doesn't happen by simply readingfeatured or group blogs posts.

Hey Ray, I couldn't agree more. I have learned so much since joining Active Rain and I especially enjoy reading blogs from other agents in my market. Always insightful!

ActiveRain is the first and foremost training, informational, relationship building...you name it site on the planet.  I was so lost for those past few weeks when the site was experiencing problems.

Wondering what the life changing event was . . . but you meant it as a metaphor :-)  Yup, when I found out about groups it changed my life too!

Thanks for the article.  I'm looking to participate in AR at that "next level" as well.
