“Build A Strong Agent Referral Network With ActiveRain”
ActiveRain is strong real estate specific network. With well over 100,000 real estate agents this network has established itself as a group of real estate professionals that are technology minded and interested in improving their businesses.
Different than many social networks, one of the unique aspects about ActiveRain is that it is largely based on individuals blogging and sharing those blog posts within specific groups. Each and every post you make allows you to earn points and join the conversation!
As real estate professionals are the primary user base, this network lends itself as a great way to build a nation wide network of referral agents.
Join The Conversation Through Comments
With so many posts to go through, ActiveRain can seem overwhelming to the newbie. One of the best ways to start making connections is through commenting on other agents blog posts.
Take time to make comments that are valuable and demonstrate that you actually did read the post. Too often agents new to ActiveRain are in search of points and leave such short comments as "Nice post, thanks for sharing". This is looked down upon by the community and will slow down your efforts of making great connections.
To get the most from your commenting efforts focus on the following:
-
Start with agents in cities that commonly relocate to your city
-
Comment on the newest posts
Find Groups That You are Interested In
ActiveRain is powered by groups and channels. Groups are composed of real estate professionals contributing blog posts for others to read and comment on. With 1000's of groups look around to see which topics you find interesting.
Besides making comments on posts you find in the groups, one feature that will surely get you noticed by other real estate agents is "Reblogging" their posts. This means that you share their post on your blog! What better compliment can you pay someone than sharing the post they wrote with your subscribers!
