Featured - Paying the Real Price for Being Featured on Activerain

By
Real Estate Agent with Lattimer Realty

Featured Post by Gina ChiricoI am proud to announce that I have 3 Featured Posts on Activerain.  I know its not even close to many other members who have had numerous posts Featured on Activerain but its an accomplishment for me and I am proud of it.  The main reason why it makes me happy when I am Featured on Activerain is because it doesn't have a price tag attached.  Paying the real price for being Featured on Activerain is priceless

 

Sure, I can be a Fairfield New Jersey Featured Agent in the spotlight on Trulia.  That price tag is $50 a month for 100% market share.

I can also be a Fairfield New Jersey Featured Agent on Zillow by creating a showcase ad on Zillow for $116.  The featured showcase will run for 30 days.

suggest feature post on ActiverainDo you see where I am going with this?  I have three Featured posts and the reason why I have three Featured posts on Activerain is because my peers, colleagues, friends, and entire Activerain Community suggested my posts to be featured.  I did NOT have to pay 100's of dollars to be featured.  I paid the real price to be Featured on Activerain.  The real price can't be paid by credit card, direct debit or a snail mail check.  My time, dedication, devotion, quality content and many other factors made the Activerain Community suggest my posts to be Featured. 

Once again, I can pay the above fees to Trulia and/or Zillow to be the #1 real estate agent in Fairfield, New Jerseybut once again, as you can see in the photo below, I rank in Fairfield as the #1 Featured Agent in Fairfield, New Jersey.  The price I paid to become #1 out of 13 agents in Fairfield, was the same as above, time, dedication, devotion, quality content, etc.  I did NOT pay hefty fees to rank #1, I paid the real price to be the #1 Featured Real Estate in Fairfield, New Jersey on Activerain.

thank youTHANK YOU again for supporting me, for reading my posts, commenting on them and suggesting me to be Featured.  What better way to be Featured than to have been selected and recommended by your peers and not by your checkbook............and that my Activerain friends is PRICELESS.

Gina - You make some terrific points here (pun intended slightly).  I often teach others about blogging, and one of the things I tell students is that blogging may not cost money, but it does cost time and effort.  Nicely done.
