How can you get points without blogging?

By
Real Estate Agent

I was looking at the agent who is ranked above me in my area, he has over 23,000 points and he has no, zero, nada blogs. I was curious and went to his profile and he has a lot of "other points" 

I am new to active rain, only been doing it for about a month, and I don't know how to get those other points. I starting to like to blog and reply to good blogs, but I am also want to be on the top 5 in my area and my state, and I would like to get me some "other points"

Can someone please explain that to me?

By the way if you want to check my ranking the guy I was talking about now is behind me after this post. ;)

your profile gives you points, comments give you points, linking your site to other sites gives you points etc

Also inviting people gives you points

Hi Jose!  There's a very useful post about the ActiveRain points system located here:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/1312203/the-activerain-point-system.  Check that out - since it was written by someone on ActiveRain's side of the fence, it's solid info.  The points system actually seems very well thought out and works well to divy up points to people who actually participate in the community, not just those who do the bare minimum that they can to get points.  It's a great system, in my experience so far.  Good luck!

Juan, but that is my question, that guy is not actively blogging, I am sure he is active with other things. And I want to be more active.

When you invite peole to join Active Rain, each time they blog, you get some points from their blogs.

Complete a success story about benefits you reaped from being part of Active Rain. You get points from that, too.

10 blogs a week

10 re-blogs a week

10 comments a day

Try doing these consistently, and your points will increase.

Good luck!

Hi Juan,

I just wrote a similar post and, while trying to get answers, came upon this one. I'm thinking they must be earning these points from people they referred to AR. Personally, I think there should be a limit to how many points one can earn between posts or comments. While looking at the ranking in my state, one guy has blogged over 400 posts and the person ranked above him -- zero.
