Our Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Participate On Active Rain Daily

 

When it comes to marketing any business it's always a good idea to get as many eyeballs as you can over to view just what it is you have to offer.

This lesson we will touch on why we think setting up a free account on ActiveRain.com and then participating on it daily should be the very first thing you do in implementing your internet marketing campaign for your real estate business.

First of all ActiveRain is a "free online community for real estate professionals designed to help them promote and grow their business." 

The founders of AR put it together because they believed it was in the best interests of real estate professionals to build a community that was focused on educating one another.  So they built AR with this thought in mind and let me tell you they did an absolutely marvelous job doing so too.

So having said all that here's the ... 

Ten Reasons Why You Should Join Active Rain Today (And Participate Regularly On It!) :

Reason #1 -- Gaining tons of free training on how to grow and operate your business

You'll gain free access to an almost infinite supply of knowledge on how to operate and grow your real estate business.   So instead of paying a real estate coach for his/her knowledge you'll be tapping into the collective knowledge of nearly 60,000 real estate professionals.

Reason #2 -- Learning how to become a better blogger

You'll learn to blog rather quickly if you don't already know how to because you'll be reading the posts of several other accomplished bloggers and after just a couple of hours reading their material you'll have several ideas of your own pop into your head and you'll easily be able to jot the ideas down on your own blog.

Reason #3 -- Reaching local residents in your area seeking real estate information

Your posts will also be seen by local residents in your area because AR also gives you the opportunity to easily post onto http://localism.com/ which is a spot where consumers in your area often go to in order to find all the real estate related information they seek.  Would you rather have them get this information from you or from one of your competitors?

Reason #4 -- Meeting tons of new networking partners

One of the coolest things about belonging to AR is the fact you're going to meet tons of real estate professionals you can begin networking with.  AR has built in communication tools that make it very simple to not only find potential networking partners but also to contact them once you do find them.  If you're looking for a great networking tool AR is certainly the next place you should be setting up shop to do so.

Reason #5 -- Getting almost instant responses every time you make a post on your blog

Nothing is worse to a blogger than not getting any feedback after they post something new on their blog.  When it happens to you can almost seem like you're the only person on the internet or worse yet that what you have to say is not of worth anyone reading or responding too.  But on AR you get almost instant feedback the second you make a post due to how active the other members are on it.  Never underestimate the importance of having an audience to share your expertise or opinions with.

Reason #6 -- Gaining a vehicle in which to advertise your listings on for free

Once you join the AR community you'll get the opportunity to advertise your listings to other real estate agents in your area as well as local residents in your area for free.  When it comes to advertising the more free exposures you get the better is what I always say!

Reason #7 -- Getting indexed by the search engines very quickly

Once you make a post on your free AR blog you will be utterly amazed just how quick that post gets indexed by the search engines.  Because AR gets as much traffic as they do the major search engines usually indexes your posts into the search engines very rapidly.

Reason #8 -- Having tons of fun

One of the coolest aspects of belonging to the AR community is the fact that  every time you reply to another member's blog post or post one your yourself you receive points for it.  The more you post the more points you get and these points are tallied for every member and you can keep track of how well you're doing compared to the other members in your area.  If you have a competitive streak in you you'll love AR.

Reason #9 -- You won't need to set up a website

Of course having your own website is a very good idea but it certainly isn't a necessity once you have your AR blog set up.  Why so?  Well for starters you'll have your contact info registered on your profile and once a local resident from your area comes across one of your posts and likes what they read they'll be able to easily send you an email or even give you a call.  Plus given the fact that your AR posts make the search engines you can do very well with your real estate business by just having a blog.

Reason #10 -- It's Free

How much would you spend on a tool that provides you with as much as AR provides it's members?  $100 a month?  $200?  I know we would given how robust their system is and by how much it is helping us grow my own businesses.  But like we mentioned joining the AR community is absolutely free! 

There you have it. 

If you're absolutely serious about growing your real estate business you can see why we highly recommend you get on over there now and come join a community that is absolutely dedicated to helping you get to where you want to go.
