Brenda's Handy Dandy Feature Guide - The Top Two Ways on How To Get Feature Posts in Active RainOk, here it is! This is your handy dandy feature guide and the Two Top ways to get a feature in Active Rain! Write aboutFeatured Posts and how to get em, How unfair the system is, how to change the rules or who's not getting them.Points-How to get em, how unfair they are, how to change emI am just kidding around here, (no really, because my post on Points got noticed, but no little star. I personally thought it was genius too. But, apparently my personal opinion didn't matter this time. In fact, there are lots of posts that I personally thought were feature worthy that went off into no feature land. Sigh...oh well.I love getting a Feature. Everyone does. It can be a lot of fun and you get to know tons more people, and they you. However, should it be your number one goal on Active Rain? I guess it depends on your reason for joining up. In my opinion, the the truth of the matter is this, write good content that is interesting and do it consistently and someone is bound to notice you. A good way to do this is to subscribe to other members and socialize, (comment on posts and be ACTIVE in Active Rain). People will not get to know you here without you reaching out to get to know them.With over 200,000 members it is very difficult for the AR Gods to see, EVERY feature worthy post that is written. They tried to make it a community thing by adding the suggest button which helped A LOT. If you think getting a feature is hard today, you should have seen it a couple of years ago. I think they used to cost money, lol :)! Honestly, there are tons of members (and non members) with a little Gold star under their name and that is way more than it used to be.So, here's the true guide, (although I do believe the above two may get you featured).Write tutorials that help others how to navigate Active Rain.Write tutorials that help others do video, photos, add color.Write really cool localism posts. Check out Liz and Bill Spear's (AKA BLiz) stuff! They are the AR experts in this areaWrite really inspirational stuff and how to keep business going. Check out Barbara Todaro...She is awesome at that.Write informational posts about Copyright or Real Estate. Check out Lenn Harley's stuff...The undisputed Queen of Copyright by the way.Learn how to photoshop like Craig Rutman (The King of the stuff) and entertain the heck out of the masses.There you go. A few tips to get you warmed up. Even if you don't get a featured post from my handy, dandy guide, you will have been introduced to some terrific people and awesome bloggers, (such as myself...eech hemmm, feel free to subscribe lol ). I will say it again, the absolute truth as said above...just write terrific content on a regular basis and really communicate here in Active Rain and someone is bound to notice you.Would you like more information about San Antonio Texas Real Estate Market or do you need to buy a home or sell your home in Bexar or Guadalupe County?
