Last year when the market in Salt Lake slowed down, so did the leads. In fact, I didn't get a single good lead from August through December of 2007. Traditional marketing methods weren't generating the interest or return I needed to stay afloat until the part-time agents left the business.

That's when I heard about blogging.

After looking at the different options available for blogging, I settled on the ActiveRain Real Estate Network for a number of reasons. Among them:

• Active Rain blog entries rank at the top of google searches for key words written into the blog.
• There are over 100,000 real estate professionals from around the nation who are members of Active Rain. In addition to hosting their own blogs on ActiveRain, these professionals also interact with you to give you marketing ideas and help you with your business related questions.
• ActiveRain allows you to easily post your blog entries to your own website (you just set it up and click a box each time you post a blog entry).
• The interface is VERY easy to learn and VERY easy to add content to on a regular basis.
• The creators of the network are very proactive about making sure your blog entries get seen.
  
• Being a member of the ActiveRain Real Estate Network is FREE.

I would like to invite you to join the ActiveRain real estate network. I am willing to help guide you as you get started and answer any questions you have.
