Joining Active Rain

Active Rain is a social network for real estate. Think of it as an on line Realtor Association. Active Rain, or AR for short, is a great place to read and learn to blog if you are feeling a bit shy about jumping in.

Here are the simple joining instructions:

1. Click this link Join Active Rain.
2. Click on the Join Us Button.
3. Fill out the Sign up boxes and click on the Join Active Rain Button
4. Fill out your profile page – upload your photo – I just copied my ewm.com profile with a copy and paste – it worked perfectly.
5. Join the EWM AR Group by clicking the Groups button at the top right hand part of your page. You can browse the Groups for other areas of interest.
6. Read.

Some general etiquette about AR

1. You will get 25 points each for commenting on up to 10 posts a day. Try to make the comments something other than “great job” or “nice post”. Use the other EWM people to test yourself out – we will certainly help you along.
2. Once you feel comfortable – write your own post. Make sure you include it in the EWM Group so we all know you put something new up. The best thing is to use the spell check BEFORE you post – it will save editing.
3. Use a great title in your post- it helps to get people to read your stuff.
4. Once you post – you will get comments – AR will send you an email every time you get a comment – It is important to go back to your post and “return” the comment. This is also a great way to meet new people. Click on their link at the bottom of their comment to find out more about them. This gives you a good idea of people to go read and comment on their blog. Within no time you will have new friends from all over the place.

I am going to post some more ideas as the contest comes closer. But this should keep you busy for a while.
