By
Real Estate Agent with Buyers Choice Realty

I just recently became a member of Active Rain.  I am very excited to be here and find out how it works.  My girlfriend raves about it and she has learnt a lot from it from other professionals.

Please give me some tips on how to maximize my Active Rain experience!   Thank you very much! 

 Me and my daughter, Brittany, boating on the Intercoastal Waterway.  Care to join us?

Karen,

Good topic.  I have an office in Ocean City NJ that is on the inter-coastal.  If anyone needs tips or advice about the inter-coastal from Cape May, NJ to Atlantic City, NJ I would be happy to help.  We have been seeing some very good fishing so far this season.

 

Good Luck,

Clint

Karen, do you realize that you are now in the top 100 Bloggers in SC, and all you have is this one post? 

The fact that you are so easy on the eye, no doubt, has something to do with it...

What are you waiting for?  Get blogging girlfriend!

Hi Karen,

Welcome to the Rain.  The more Blogs you read from other people, all over the system, the more you will learn and the more ideas you will obtain.  Soon it will become easier to write your post and devope your own style with ease.  Good luck.

Karen, first, welcome.  Second, take some time and navigate through the Active Rain Network.  Find some groups that interest you and post about what you have to offer - your community - your life, etc.

Karen - Good start -- my advice would be don't get caught up in the point system -- if you are looking to generate business from AR and blogging -- it is about quality not quantity -- you will go through a lot of blogs and people have post that have nothing to do with real estate -- that is great for AR's point system (200 pts for every blog post) but the most important thing is substance -- your post on AR get indexed in the search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc) this is what is important -- remember 80% of all people the buy real estate start their search on the web -- good quality post with substance get indexed higher with these search engines  -- Good luck and GREAT start -- JE
