Do you know "How To" find information on Active Rain? It's easy.

Active Rain logoActive Rain may be new to some folks others that have been here from the beginning are like "old shoes" comfortable and willing to help.

Me, I am not one of the "old shoes" but willing to help just the same.

What I have found over the last couple years is a wealth of information.  Some of the members probably should be writing articles for magazines and information services, how-to guides, teaching classes, creating instruction manuals that they can sell.  The talent on Active Rain runs deep...you don't have to wait for a rainy day....it rains wisdom everyday.  Pick a category and find some of the most informed talented professionals related to the housing industry, offering up to date cutting edge commentary.

searchThis combines the workings of a social network, a professional blog site blended with the consumer who can comment, read and take advantage of specific information at their finger tips.

Where else can you have a blend of cultures, education and backgrounds pour informative posts categorized at the click of a button?  Most blogs have a narrow and specific approach with strict limitations to subject matter.  That in turn narrows the readership, the membership and the exposure to a very select group of bloggers.

Active Rain has taken a broader brush stroke to allow for a wide range of topics and thus the membership has exploded and continues to grow.

The public is finding many of the professionals who participate on Active Rain as a professional to turn to for their personal real estate related needs.  The reason is because they can get to know the person without ever meeting them....much the same way as we develop member friends that we have never met.

The referrals, the friendships and clients created by membership to Actice Rain impact our business and our lives.

I usually don't write this type of post...but I thought it was time...I have received more than I have given since joining Active Rain.  So I thought I would share a little of why I am still here after over 700 posts.

So use your seach option on the top of the tool bar.  Plug in a topic of interest and see what pops up you may be pleasantly surprised!
