Active Rain Once agin Proves to be # 1- Individual Blog-Team Blog

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX AT BARNEGAT BAY-

  It's No surprise why Active Rain is The # 1 leading FREE lead generation company-

 I began my account with ActiveRain in 2007, with approx 70,000 members, I am not much of a blogging expert, In fact I read most of the Blogs posted and actually am intimidated, There is so much information to take in from the experts,

 I consider myself just one face in the crowd just one the 128,214 members. I use Active Rain to post my  listings, which I must say gave me FREE  exposure- I've captured over 10 listing leads , and over 8 Buyers- This was great!  This was FREE - My Team member Janis Olson just closed her first deal from Activerain- So it does work

 I also won the battled of The Localism-Rush where I Captured 5 areas. I have a Shirt to prove this which was sent to me by  one the Localism guru

 This morning I woke up to a new and improved Active Rain screen- BIG BOLD RED - My Points highlighted- the screen was different , There were added options to gain me even more exposure. To me this is even better than Realtor.com, I can get my listings posted, have them pinged in google,  

 So to me the $19.00 a month for additional exposure  is affordable &  indeed bring the attention once again. To my listings,

My point here is This new feature indeed is a great investment- So if you are just a beginner in the Blog world like me- of Active Rain and want the exposure invest the money- It's well worth it.

I have since January 1,2009 received 3 new listing leads-

which I will be posting on Monday

Laura,as you know I spend a great deal on marketing for my clients & personal branding, I have been able to cut down a bit om my expenses since using activerain. I love it and always get leads or just emails both buyers& sellers- It's a great investment- I will let you know what comes of it- You also need to show me how to make my blogs more attractive- : )

Pattie - I think that's great!  One benefit I'd like to add is that you get me with this.  I'm included in your upgrade and that means support when you need it.  Some want to hold off and that's ok, it's the pioneers who usually get the best of what's ahead, and they get it first.  Let me know if you ever need anything at all, I'm here if you need.  Looking forward to hearing more success stories from you in the future.  :-)

So have you received the three leads after you upgraded your blog, or are those just attested to AR itself?
