Advertising; is it worth the money?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Homelink Real Estate - Red Bluff
Hello all and I was looking for input.  I believe that the best and most business we see is from referrals from our happy clients.  I have spent quite a bit on advertising in the last few months and found the return to be dubious.  Feel free to give your input.

Hi Shawn - WELCOME to Active Rain!!  I think you'll find some great resources here on AR, and I hope you get some good input to help you out.

I spend more of my money, time, and efforts on online marketing than I do on print media (newspapers, homes magazines, etc.).  I have found that to be far more productive over the years.

Welcome again!

Hi Shawn,

Welcome to the ActiveRain Blog network. 
Shortly after I started blogging on Active Rain, I wondered how some features worked or how to do some of the things others were using in their posts. 

I searched the site and could not find the "Operating Manual".

I asked some questions to other bloggers and soon realized the the power was in the network since most questions had already been answered by other users.

If you find yourself in this situation and have some questions, visit the post below and you will find tips, info and many features of ActiveRain that have been documented by other members.

Nice having you on board,

Shawn, Welcome. 

I think that advertising that drives people to a good converting website is the way to go. 

Doing special things during the process that make you customers say WOW is also a great way to create a referral moment.
