I completely agree that ActiveRain is definitely a social media platform as well. And that you cannot be in all places all the time - especially without assistance. However, congratulations on the apparent success of your blogging efforts! Hopefully, it will be a source of motivations for others to either give it a try or keep at it!

Ed You are right on the $$$$$ I cannot agree more and thank you for the call a few months back alerting me to RE/Max I receieved a listing from a pass client who could not find me on Re/Max .com but thanks to your alert found me and called me to sell his home .I receive many leads from Active Rain
Hello Ed, suggested this post, it would inspire so many who may not see the benefit of blogging. Thanks for the encouragement, here's to more leads!
Ed, it has taken time to build, but because of relationships and trust established with ActiveRain members this has been a great platform to extend the reach of my business. ActiveRain is a unique place to be a part of.
Ed your post clearly showed how putting the effort into blogging will result in more clients and closed sales.
Congrats on your success.
I gave two Realtor referral already to AR folks, one in the South Shore Ma and one for a West Palm Beach agent. You can't beat social media.
Ed, glad the conversation sparked a blog. This is what it is about, you have put in a lot of time providing valuable information for the Buyers in your area, and are now reaping the rewards of all your blogging and work.
John, it takes a while but the results are worth the effort. Thanks for stopping.
Renae, thanks, the proof is in the results and I have the activity in an area that is not that busy as yet.
Hannah, I needed to reach you and I knew other avenues. A prospect would have just gone to the next one.
Thank you Beth, I received another referral this afternoon on a short sale as a result of a blog post.
Nick it certainly is and it's getting bigger. Thanks for stopping.
Jennifer, it does take time to build a portfolio of blogs and if done right, which is something ActiveRain teaches us to do, it will be successful.
Joe, this has been very good to me in a couple of ways
Ed ~ I always makes me feel that the time on Active Rain is worth it when I read about all the success agents as yourself are having as a result of providing great content in your posts on Active Rain! :)
Ed- You are a prolific writer and deserve all the rewards that come your way! I always enjoy referring business in your direction, because I know it will close quickly and well!
Ed - I too suggested your motivational post! When it comes to professionalism, knowledge, and picking up quickly how to make your business thrive, you are successful and you continue to expand your business by doing all the right things!
Congratulations on your recent success and thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration to me!
Quality followers aren't measure by algorithms and SEO... it all about interaction for me. :)
Ed, I'd been away from Active Rain for several months. It's posts like this that remind me of the importance of getting back into the habit of regular blogging. Thank you!
Good morning Ed -
Thanks for sharing your take on Social Media Fixes and Mistakes, Making the Effort Productive. I'm very busy too and indeed many are finding me online.
