Do you have a goal for where you want to rank on Activerain?

Personally, everyone who blogs should have a goal. My first goal is to drive leads. That said, when you look at how you rank on Activerain do you think about where you want to be? Is it important to be #1 in your town, county, or state? Do you just want to be in the top 100 bloggers? Strive to get the most comments or followings. There has to be something...or many somethings...that drive you to want to stay here and succeed.

My goals on Activerain are:

Generate leads weekly via local posts
Network with other agents across the country and build relationships
Be #1 in my town and county
Be in the top 10 in California
Hit the Top 100 subscribed to bloggers

How Do I Plan To Achieve My Rankings?

I do a mix of blogs that includes 1-2 neighborhood specific, IDX based, "homes for sale" posts, then the rest are market stats, opinions, reviews, and other articles. The neighborhood posts get the most action and they're my focus. The rest of how I generate my points is:

Maximum comments daily
Now less than 10 articles per week
Write at least one article per week that is featured (if possible)

There's no magic to it but the RELENTLESS CONSISTENCY keeps me on track. The focus on the blogs is always about what generates business with enough content mixed in to connect with other agents around the country. Having a balance between my local content and general content means that in addition to reaching prospects and agents, I also get occassional inquires from the media. That's good exposure because I can link back to the article they publish - which is good for Google Juice.

My Advice

Set a reasonable, attainable goal with a timeline that makes sense. Then do what you have to in order hit that goal. Taking reasonable steps will get you where you want to be faster than you think.
