In my previous post: E-Pro is a waste of a designation, I talked about why E-Pro (in my opinion) is a waste of a designation. Overwhelmingly, there were many people who believed that the designation was a waste of money.

While I was not intending to completely Bash the designation, I was intending to obtain feedback as to whether people agreed with me or not.

A few hours of clicking and a few hundred dollars later you can have a “E-Pro” designation. Good for you!

What about AR-Pro? Are you serious about conquering the internet? I would like to discuss ActiveRain vs E-Pro and the benefits of each. Finally, why ActiveRain should or should not be as qualified as E-Pro to have a designation. 

ActiveRain:

Pros
Free
120,000+ members
Quickly Search Blogs
Multiple Channels to Distribute Information

Cons
No Designation

E-Pro

Pros
CE Credit in many States
Great for Beginners

Cons
Outdated
Cost is located on http://www.epronar.com 

I will take Pros and Cons and add them to each list. I would personally like to see a push for either an updated E-Pro class or a class designed to highlight Web 2.0 and/or ActiveRain!
