It is free to sign up. However you do have to pay to upgrade to be a "Rainmaker". When you hot that 500k points then a rain maker is free. For me I place A LINK in emails to invite people to join Active Rain.

to the best of my knowledge, it's only free when you hit 500k points....but it's worth the free education on SEO and other topics, while you're accumulating those points....

Peter, based on all the Top New Members Today that one can see in the link at the bottom of the page, there appears to be no FEE to discourage membership therefore an increasing popularity of the Blue Man Group.
The real question is what are you hoping they achive by being on AR and what is the solution AR is presenting to these newbies that is not encumbered with frustration and disappointment?
Without a vision, the people perish.

Just to be able to garner data, ask questions, access Google juices and keep current in Real Estate and other matters makes AR a worthy source.

No more free accounts ... they pay until they reach 500,000 points. The fee decreases at 10,000 point milestones. I won't quote fees for AR. You need to go to the source to determine the current fees.

There is a free membership, but it won't offer public exposure for any posts. To be a Rainmaker you need to pay or gather up some points.

I believe it is still FREE to join but as a Rainer but the posts will be "members only" until reaching 500,000 points or "paying" just like I had to do when I first joined in 2010.

Free of charge and non-public until they reach 500K points. Great thing to do with your agents, Pete. I've tried this many, many times before and 1 took to it but, has since left!

They can join as a member for free but their posts will not be viewed publicly or ranked unless they are a full member (this requires paying until they reach 500,000 points).

I'm not certain the SEO benefit is worth the cost. The benefit of AR is community and brainstorming. New recruits can find answers to thousands of questions and scenarios. They should see it as advanced training, inspiration and support

Peter Testa - ActiveRain is FREE - it is only when one wants the posts to be in public domain, one needs to pay!
And after 500,000 points, it is FREE for life!

Yes, free, but not public. Sometimes it is still very good, they will learn a lot. Not every member should go public with their posts right away.

It is still free to sign up, but for a public account, they need to pay a monthly fee until they reach 500,000 points.
