Your Profile May Be Your Best Tool

By
Real Estate Agent with Windermere Peninsula Properties

Don't take your ActiveRain profile for granted, this could be your best tool. Most areas are starting to see a small real estate spike in activity, maybe its a great chance for you to go through your profile and dial in all of your content. Content is KEY when targeting a specific market, and we all know that. Consumers on the Internet are like traffic on the freeway, you want them to take YOUR exit to YOUR website, profile, anything you can provide that lets them know who you are and what you do.

Though Google and such search engines pull from your blog, they also pull from your profile, your profile is your ultimate opportunity to dial in your key words, and not make yourself sound ridiculous for repeating them.

I understand most of you have your profiles completely set, and you are at the top of your local search results all the time. But there are a lot of people with some pretty bare profiles. Spend some time, spruce it up.

Target your market, tell them what you do!

Hey Josh thanks for the tip. I am new to this process. Am wondering what you think about upgrading at this time or if i should keep experimenting a little and learning before i go public and if upgrading is the best way to go public... what the benefits are versus the cost... thanks

Debra- I am honestly not sure, I got in before it cost money to play in the rain. But I would recommend "public" if thats what happens when you upgrade. The exposure you get from being active online is unparalleled.

You are so right about this, Josh.  When you click through to the profile of activerainers who rave about the business generated here, they usually have a killer profile.  On the flip side, when I read a post that's whining about points or features or lack of business, it usually turns out the author's profile is pretty barren.

Josh,

As far as I can tell, I think that my AR profile and my web page get a similar amount of traffic.
