My webmaster has been after me for a year to post on ActiveRain, but I thought I was too busy. I now understand the importance of this wonderful network. How interesting that some of the other networks I have been participating in do not bring the same value and potential for business as ActiveRain. Many of the top posters on ActiveRain used to participate on these other networks. Suddenly, strangely they disappeared! I honestly thought perhaps they had met with some unfortunate event---even death came to mind. I am now finding those smart people on ActiveRain.
I hope to become a very active member----and I hope to balance business with my participation. This could be addictive!!

Welcome and best of luck with the addiction problem.
I warn about it in my presentations but many people do not take heed.
... put down the mouse and back slowly away ...
Pat there is no question that Active Rain will bring you business if you work at it. It certainly is addictive especially when you see results!
Pat - I have to agree with the others, Active Rain can be addicting, esp. as you use it to boost your website.
Welcome to AR. I don't think of AR as an addiction no more than the MLS, which I check several times daily. AR is another business tool for me AND one that I enjoy working with. Good Luck.
Pat, Your Webmaster was right! I love Active RAin and just think if you had posted just one posted 1 post a week since you joined the benefit. Good luck and happy blogging.
