Featured AR Group: Never Answer the Same Question Twice

Featured AR Group: Never Answer the Same Questions TwiceNATSQT Group

OK, so maybe I'm playing favorites.  After all, I founded the Never Answer the Same Question Twice group!  I started it in February 2011, inspired by an awesome Active Rain challenge from Bob Stewart.  (The original challenge post had 481 comments.  I'd say there was active participation!) 

What's the group about?  What are the rules?  The idea of the group is for the bloggers to answer commonly asked questions.  Here are a few examples:

~What are closing costs?

~What is Earnest Money?

~How accurate is a Zillow Zestimate?

All good questions that the public wants the answer to.  Why answer the questions one at a time as they are asked?  Write a blog post about it and you have a reference link for the rest of your real estate career.  You will be recognized as the real estate expert in your market.  What could be better than that?

We currently have 38 members and only 143 posts.  I must admit, I've been slacking.  I have not been visiting the group and reading the posts, as frequently as I would like.  That's about to change!  My goal is increase our "membership" and our post count.  You can help!  How?  It's easy! 

Step one: Visit our group.

Step two: Join the group.

Step three: Write something and post to the group!

I look forward to welcoming you to our esteemed membership!  LOL!  You can rub shoulders (virtually speaking, of course) with Jerry Newman and many other amazing writers!  What are you waiting for?  Join today!

Awesome reminder Donna! We needed the reminder too. It was a good idea when it was a contest and it is a great idea still.

Hello Larry & Jacque~ I'm glad I came across your comment today.  I know it's been a while, but I've been very sick.  This is now a good reminder to me to post to this group.  Maybe I need to send out another reminder too!

Anna Hatridge ~Looks like I creating this group 3+ years ago! I wonder if there would be much interest if I gave it a "fresh coat of paint"?

Hi Donna, Your good friend Anna Hatridge sent me over (by way of her re-blog). You mention that you haven;t worked on your group in a while. I know how that is. I have several groups that I have neglected as well. The problem is that ActiveRain doesn't reward group leaders for all the hard work. They give points for so many other things, why not group leaders?
