For those of you that are wondering exactly "What Can ActiveRain Do For You"....
Let me tell you MY story of "What ActiveRain Has Done For Me".
I was fortunate that I started blogging on ActiveRain back in March of 2007 because this network allowed me to grow while learning the who, what, when, why, how and where about basic blogging practices. I started with ‘no clue' about blogging but jumped in wholeheartedly to find out. Yup, that's me. The need to know.
I've written so many posts here regarding my feelings about ActiveRain and most recently What is ActiveRain? ..... THIS is ActiveRain! I measured some of it by the meeting of peers and mostly because of the staff's involvement with the community is why I have remained a loyal member on ActiveRain. "It made a difference to have them interact with us on a daily basis. It made a difference that they cared and took into consideration when I had a concern. It made a difference that I just wasn't a number here".
The following posts were kind of like milestones over the years on ActiveRain:
- Looking Back on 2007: Giving Back to the Community is where I gave credit and appreciation to new and old members for contributing to this community. I also stated, "If it is one thing I have respected are the people who did not change in spirit and in soul along their pathway to blogging freedom and remained themselves. The ones who have written from the heart and let their whole persona shine through."
- Hawaii Relocation Clients DO Read MY ActiveRain Blog A recap of 2008 and how my blogging on
ActiveRain and the information that I've learned here helped me to turn my business around and allowed me to turn leads into closed transactions. - The POWER of ActiveRain...The PEOPLE Behind the WORDS is my best description for 2009 and how networking with your peers here on ActiveRain can lead to referrals from your ActiveRain made friendships. That's not to say you just read and make a couple of comments. We get to know each other ‘intimately' and ‘professionally' and determine that the client we are referring will be in ‘good hands'.
- ActiveRain Community Building: My "Testimonial in the Rain" is my story of accomplishments on ActiveRain and this is a paragraph from that post: ActiveRain introduced me to a REAL Estate Network to Blog for Business, to blog for conversation with my peers and to read informational and localized posts for all others areas and neighborhoods. ActiveRain is an all- in -one place to work, relax, read and socialize with members in the Real Estate Industry. No matter how I word it, ActiveRain has been the learning experience of a lifetime for me and there IS still more to come.
- "The Long and Winding Road" of Blogging Write with conviction and passion because everyone will read you if you do. Write with wit, humor and emotion because everyone will read you if you do. Write with the intent of giving back to the community because everyone will read you and give back to you and the community too. Write with integrity, honesty and respect because everyone deserves it and so do you. Write a comment or two relating to the post you just read (it shows sincerity) and everyone will continue to come back and read you too. What's the sense of writing a post if there is no one to give feedback, comment, give support etc.
Write from your own thoughts and creativity because no one will read you if you don't.
What does ActiveRain do for you?
Allows you much success because......
YOU WORKED FOR IT.
