If you haven’t lived under a rock for the last few months, you’ve probably heard of MySpace, Friendster, and other social networking websites. Maybe you’re a member, maybe you’re not. Well now there’s a social networking place just for real estate professionals. It’s called ActiveRain.
It’s a completely free service that works more like a real estate directory than a social networking site. The main differences are that you have the ability to earn points to move higher in the directory and link yourself to others. A few of the things that you can do to earn points are:
- Add content to your profile (add a photo, testimonials, etc.)
- Invite others
- Link to ActiveRain
Since the price was right, I signed up and am current listed under Idaho real estate coaches on ActiveRain.
So why signup?
I can tell you why I signed up. Just like real estate directories, you place yourself there for two reasons.
- Be found by people
- Be found by search engines
<tangent potential>And never get the two confused. Always do things for people first and you’ll be fine with search engines.</tangent potential>
The networking potential looks good. So let me know if you sign up and I’ll add you to my “associates” link!
