Help! I need advice I have a teach a class to my peers about Active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Realty Achieve

 

I have been asked by my broker to hold a class on Active Rain, for the other agents in my office. My office is fairly new and many of the agents are older and less computer savvy. However, they are all great hard working people, whom I love working with. I am sure that they will be interested in learning about the site and my experience with it. I am obviously going to discuss the basics of what they site is, how to log on and sign-up. However, I would appreciate some input on what you thing I should highlight. I have about 45 to 60 minutes and the use of a conference room with large screens hooked up to a computer.

I have only utilized Active Rain for a few months myself so I could really use your input. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi Daniel.  I have recently helped a couple of Realtors get acclimated to AR myself, even though I'm no expert.  I think it's important for them to know what AR can do for their business in terms of driving web surfers to their website, how to navigate AR, how to actually post a blog, how to find groups to post to, and what the points system is all about.  Those are the main things I've covered.  I hope that's helpful.

I'd quick read that book Soci@l for some help.  Then I'd read all the newbie group posts, and then add your own experience and what you've accomplished in X amount of time, and use it to inspire people to take the jump to creating an online presence.  I started blogging on AR on June 7 or so, and I'm loving the advice, intelligence, networking, and propensity for success.  Good luck with your class.
