Anyone can end up featured. For example....your post about Social media posts and the REALTOR® Code of Ethics that is currently featured :-)

You have your answer on the Feature, Cody, but I would encourage you to contact Bob Stewart (the Kingpin) and ask him for a voucher for a Rainmaker account. They are offering a great deal to upgrade, and then your posts would be public and not just to AR members. bob@activerain.com

Good luck to you!

Any person posting on ActiveRain has a chance of getting Featured.  

 Go for it!

Well Bob jumped in with the answer. Welcome to AR. 

Good posts get featured adn that includes everyone with or without a paid account.

Decent question...May the ropes as you put it teach you well C.C.

Well you already have your answer but I thought I would reiterate that getting Featured is not only for Paying Members but the benefits of being a Rainer are worth the investment.  See you in the Rain. 

Features are an open opportunity for all. We see plenty of wonderful posts featured from new members, Rainmakers or not.

No - rainer posts get featured too - Recently a first post was featured so good things do happen with great content

It depends on your blog content. I have seen a few newbies, brand new members with featured posts on their very first blog. We are acquiring a high caliber of new members.

You got an answer from Bob Stewart so I need not add anything!

Cody,

I was about to answer when I saw that Bob Stewart said it best.  Wishing you continued success.  A

As far as I know, all Feature worthy posts are featured ... it does not matter if the author has a Rainer account.  That said, no one sees the post except the AR community.  

You do not have to be an ambassador, nor a rainmaker to be featured.  Many new members have been featured over the years.

Bob has your answer! 

Had more posts featured befroe I was a Rainmaker. It is the blog not the points amassed that counts!

Congratulations on your feature, Cody and welcome to ActiveRain!

Anyone at any time - the AR gods will look into their magic 8 ball and decide who is worthy for the day

You have received a good answer.

Rainers do get featured, Cody Carmen 

Cody Carmen - not true.

There are some guildelines about featured post - and am sure Bob has a perfect answer for you.

Lots of rainers get features, and I am continually suggesting good first time posts for a feature.

There you go Cody, welcome to Active Rain.

In my observation, and i know many will argue with me, but featured posts are almost always the same two dozen allstars or else given to brand newbies to encourage them to blog.

keep blogging

Cody Carmen Congratulations on your two featured posts.

It could be from anyone who merits a Feature.

Of course, I have read many featured posts written by Rainers.  Of course, a Rainer account will not be read by the general public.   

Not sure how features work in all these years I only have 25

I believe anyone can get featured, but if you don't have a paid account, your posts are not public, whether featured or not.

Anyone can be featured!

Anybody can be featured. 

Congratulations on your featured post.

Cody, the longer you are on this platform and the more you write the higher the percentage of getting featured, needless to say not many can say that 10% of their posts get featured... you should be thrilled if 5% does get featured...now with that said check out your statistics:)Endre

That's a great question.  I see from your answers anyone with a post worth featuring can benefit.

That is a great question

Cody, if you write it, the Gold Star Fairy will come.  It took me months to get her attention.
