Hello,

I have just joined Active Rain and not familiar with blogging. I am trying to increase my exposure and reach out to potential clients. I have had my license for 6 months now. Does anyone have some advice for me and can you make any recommendations about blogs? Thanks.

Linda, check out the Newbie Group - there are great posts there to help you get started with your blog. There is also a group for Real Estate Rookies that you might like. As far as blogging....read, read, read, comment on others posts and keep your consumer in mind. I wish you much success here in the Rain!

Linda,

As a new blogger myself, I was a bit nervous about ActiveRain and how it could help me. This place is awesome! I have learned more in the past 3 days than I had in the previous 3 months! It is a perfect forum for new Agents, because it is laid back and nobody will judge your lack of knowledge. There are no stupid questions here. Good luck!

Hi Linda...

The best advice I can offer you is..

1. This link (CLICK HERE) it will take you to the AR Community Support Page. It's a work in progress so you may want to bookmark it. If you have a question odds are good someone has Blogged it already :)

2. My next bit of advice is...Don't get involved with the AR politics. Blog and let Blog :)

Good Luck and Enjoy the Rain Ride. It's a whole lot of FUN and quite rewarding when you keep it in perspective :)

TLW...ROAR!
