Welcome back. For me AR is not about consumer leads. I get enough of those from my blog. I have found that it is a great way to meet other agents. I also learn from them and test ideas that I have with them. I would say that it has been a great experience. I have met some people who have really had an impact. A blog post on AR will get comments and it is often my only opportunity to be critiqued by my peers.
I have favorite blogs but read as many as I can. I look for new blog writers and leave comments.
