"My latest active rain success story is about a person who works for the University of Michigan. He found me on active rain a few months ago. I helped him find a house last month. He refered another friend who bought a house thru me. We only looked at 3 homes when he found one he loved. He found a tremendous bargain! Then he is referring his mother to me. 3 people out of one blog. Active Rain works over and over. What is nice that you could be sleeping, you can be showing houses, you could be doing paperwork and Active Rain is still out there promoting you."

A couple of e-mails back and forth and we discovered they have family that live very near to me in Oro Valley, Arizona and they are very familiar with my part of the country. It's a small world after all!"

"Back some time ago, I understood the power of the internet and how important your presence especially on the first page of Google was. Not having an established or changing website, I turned to the social media platform to engage in internet activity. Within 3 months of actively engaging in social media, and blogging especially here in Active Rain, this company's name went from obscurity to the front page.

This business has enjoyed the benefits of this activity as prospective customers can now easily find this business, read about what this we do, and forms an opinion as to whether to engage in the business transaction.

To date, 95% of the folks who visit and read my blogs have engaged in business with us. This has greatly added to our bottom line especially in this market where folks are leery and want to find out who can give them the best service. Blogging makes the difference."

Kathryn Gorham, Emerald Isle NC Crystal Coast (Green Key Realty): Real Estate Agent in Emerald Isle, NC Kathryn Gorham, Emerald Isle NC Crystal Coast (Green Key Realty) said about 11 years ago,
"I have been posting to ActiveRain for less than a year now. It was slow for me at first, the learning curve, what to say, the time, blah blah blah. Then I went to the Women's Council of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors Mid-Year Meetings in Washington DC in May of 2009. I learned so many things that I wanted to implement into my business and being more active on ActiveRain was one. After that time I became more consistent in my efforts at blogging and have had leads find me because of my blog posts.

So far no closings, but I know that is just a matter of time. One decided not to come to the area, one chose a beach area south of me and had a realtor there (I was working on a referral for her), one will be a while before buying and the last I am working with to find a home and list a condo she has owned in the area for many years after the first of the year when family obligations are over.

I have not had this kind of success in lead generation from my print ads and homes magazines ads. Nor have I had this kind of success on my expensive enhanced Realtor.com or syndication sites.

There's some magic dust in ActiveRain. Thank you!"
