Invite and encourage bloggers

Despite the successes I have experienced by blogging on Active Rain, and even though my real estate friends appreciate that and understand how good Active Rain has been for me, they insist that they wouldn’t be able to do it.  Either that or they simply say they don’t have time to blog.invite and encourage bloggers

Recently I contacted some of my invitees to remind them that they hadn’t been blogging in awhile.

One gal that I know would be a valuable asset to Active Rain is Laura Miller, who accepted my invitation some time ago, but she is the short sale queen (my words, not hers).  She has so many going at any given time that she hardly has time to eat or sleep, even though she has brought in a team member to work wiinvite and encourage bloggersth her on them.

I don’t expect that she will be adding to her blog unless and until the short sale market slows down.

Staci Stark is another realtor who accepted my invitation, and although she began building a profile page, she hasn’t posted anything on her blog yet.  I reminded her that she needs to start writing, and she says it is on her to-do list.  So far, though, she hasn’t updated her profile or written a post.

I do expect that she will get back to Active Rain, but she is very involved in church and activities with her children, so she will have to make blogging a invite and encourage bloggerspriority to fit into her day somewhere.

I have invited a number of people who have never responded, and I will continue to invite those who I think would be assets to our community and who could gain from it.  I know that it takes a lot of invitations to get an acceptance.  I just wish they knew what I know about all of the benefits I receive from this site:  valuable information, clients, good friends, and fun!

So I will continue to invite and encourage bloggers.

I think you are not alone in your experience. I wish I had answers. People make changes at their pace. And blogging is a big one. For many people, it is not a good fit. At least, that is often what other agents tell me when I talk to them about ActiveRain.

I have had similar experiences with invitations. I admit, I haven't done many, but I guess I need to do more.

Thanks Susan.

So many we have spoken to think blogging is a waste of time, or they can't find the time to start. Nice to encourage those you have invited and maybe they will become more motivated as time goes by.

Dear Susan -

Thanks for your wonderful contributions to the 2012 Challenge.
The comments above are so appropriate - it is almost a parallel universe to be active on activerain! Not easy to explain!

Have a happy day -
Lynn

I've invited a few folks, too. Some took it up for a while, then dropped off. But one in particular, Evelyn Kennedy, took to it like duck to water. I had invited her a long, long time ago...she only just begun, and has been blogging religiously.  I think that once people recognize the value, they willl do it.
