Since I mentioned Active Rain to one of our agents, I figured I’d better take a look at what the signup process looks like these days.
So I signed up my dog, Carlton. (Real Estate – Other)
OK. There’s what I was looking for. I wanted to suggest to the agent that he stick with free initially, until he decides whether or not this is his thing.
So, that’s where the “no thanks” start-with-free button is when someone signs up. In case you are talking to anyone about signing up that might be helpful to know.

Note: This is the second screen you see in the sign-up process. The text says “No thanks-I’m just interested in professional networking right now” .
