The ActiveRain Newsletter: "Your Daily Virtual Rain Shower!"

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty West Sound WA State 52404

In case you didn't know, one of my responsibilities here at ActiveRain is to publish the ActiveRain Newsletter. Each day I select a half dozen or so articles, feature one of our valued members, highlight one of over 4000 community groups, and scour the Internet for a 'featured' video.

Right now, I am in Las Vegas, attending the BlogWorld Convention & Expo. I was one of the speakers on Friday in the Real Estate track, and have been attending many of the sessions today. I will be sharing several posts next week to share some of my thoughts, observations, and lessons learned.

But I digress.....

Back to the newsletter....I have several reasons behind writing this article:

1. Subscriptions:  Are you currently receiving the newsletter? If not, I need to know. Send me an email (rich@activerain.com) through the account you want to use for your subscription, along with your Company name, Your ActiveRain member category, i.e., real estate agent, loan officer, stager, etc., First & Last Name, City, State, and phone number.

2. Featured Videos:  An inordinate amount of my time is spent trying to find good, meaningful videos to feature in our newsletter. If you have produced one, or come across one that you feel would be of benefit to our community, send a link my way!

3.  Suggestions:  Last night, I had the privilege of eating dinner with Jeff Dowler, Irina Netchaev, and Ricardo Bueno. Ricardo shared some rather 'pointed' opinions about our newsletter. Okay, so he totally trashed the entire concept (Last time that guy ever gets a Gold Star!). But he did bring up some valid points. As a result, I thought I would simply ask for your input:

What are your thoughts about our newsletter? What do you like about it? Do actually READ it? Are there other elements you'd like to see incorporated?

One member shared with me that she is 'forwarding' the newsletter to other agents and real estate professionals in her area, along with an INVITE link - http://activerain.com/action/referrals/your user name

As always, thanks for your time and thoughtful input!

Hi Rich,

I've only gotten the newsletter via others who've sent it to me because one of my blogs were featured (thank you very much!!!) I would love to get it personally as well and I'll send you my email.

Rich ~ I look forward to the newsletter arriving in my email inbox every day, and always scan it for some "good stuff" to read.  Once I even saw one of my own posts there so that was exciting!  I hope you're able to continue the newsletter feature because it's a great recap of what's going on at A/R.  Thanks for taking the time to do it, and to ask for feedback!

Rich, I don't usually have time to read the entire newsletter but I do scan it every day looking for my favorite authors or my staging buddies.

Hi Rich !

I actually think the email newsletter I get is a terrific snapshot of some of the recent AR blogs.

I love getting it, and usually go and read ll the blogs on there if I havent already ready them. Also, I love the featured member and group, and thee's no way I would find half those videos that you post on there, so for me - thumbs up !

... I know it must take a while to put it together, but I'll bet the majority who receive it really appreciate it !
