As a Social Marketing Trainer for Active Rain it is my job to contact our non - RainMakers and explain how they can market their listings and services on ActiveRain. "I'm just checking it out right now.........Maybe next month." I hear this all the time.
So you took the first step because somebody somewhere said something about ActiveRain. Maybe it was a colleague, maybe you went to one of our Raincamps, or maybe your boss told you to and all you're going to do on it is "what he tells you to". Yeah, I've heard that one too. People, we have the most powerful real estate blogging platform in the world and you need to take advantage of that.
Here's the problem. Depending on the promotion for any particular month, it's a nominal charge to get started. Anywhere from free to $5 for the first month! So go ahead and wait til' next month, you've only wasted 30 days. That's 1/12th of your entire fiscal marketing campaign! What's the reason for "intro" month? We want you to feel comfortable for that first month while you are taking the blog training classes and write your first few blogs.
Just in case you didn't know, ActiveRain offers unlimited free blog training to it's members.
If you correctly (yes, there is a correct way to write a public blog) wrote one blog a week, you will get an average of 500 potential clients per blog! So go ahead and "check it out" for another month.
There are approximately 1.6 million people in the real estate industry and a startling 30% turnover rate per year. The RainMaker product is the most cost effective social marketing product available and can help keep you from becoming a statistic.
A few points underneath a blank photo does not mean you are "checking it out".
Contact your Social Marketing Trainer today for more information on becoming a RainMaker. I promise, you won't be sorry you did.
