I am always talking about the importance of social networking and blogging, and some cool news was announced last week from Active Rain: Active Rain Launches Outside Blogs.

The awesome people over at ActiveRain had made blogging for real estate professionals that much easier by offering Outside Blogging.  Some of the coolest features about their outside blogging includes:

• The ability to host outside blog on it’s own domain (that you must own)
• You can totally customize the blog to fit your branding and marketing materials
• Can be setup in minutes
• No need for AR users to learn a new blogging platform – it is all within ActiveRain
• Great SEO benefits from ActiveRain
• With the click of a button, agents can syndicate those same posts to AR, Localism and the outside blog all at once!

ActiveRain couldn’t have made it any easier for agents new to blogging, and agents in ActiveRain that want more exposure.

So calling all agents- if you are still trying to figure out how to start blogging and haven’t yet jumped into the rain, get started today!
