Enough Real Estate Gurus For Every House In America!

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Every day, there’s more information on the net about real estate investing. The number of people who consider themselves to be “real estate gurus” is exploding, and each day sees the birthing of new websites and blogs related to real estate investing.

Not surprisingly, not everything you find on the internet is worthwhile – or even true. So with that in mind, we offer some thoughts about some available real estate investing resources. Note that we leave it to the reader to make their own judgments concerning the legitimacy of each resource:

* Terry Wygal may be a real estate investor, or a search engine optimization expert, or both, or neither. Wygal teaches common ideas – like submitting videos to YouTube – as ground-breaking advances in technology.

* Bryan Ellis is a marketing and real estate professional whose website is focused on the intersection of real estate investing with economic news. Ellis has a blog at http://realestate.BryanEllis.com that has become a mainstay among serious investors.

* Gerald Romine has an interesting software package for real estate investors that helps them calculate profit and loss and does a lot of paperwork for them automatically. The software is very pricey, but does have features helpful for serious investors.

To varying degrees, these three people are already well know to real estate investors. However, being well known doesn’t mean a whole lot these days. The reader is encouraged to take a closer look at these people and the resources they offer.

Everyone Needs a Game Plan

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

It’s that simply really, you need to know:

-Where you are now
-Where you want to go
-How you are proposing to get there
-What you think it will cost
-What tools or skills you will need to have or acquire to make it all come together
-and how much time you have to devote to the effort.

What you need to DO FIRST is simple. Grab a piece of paper and a trusty pen (or pencil, whichever you prefer) and start writing a basic outline of your goals and desires along with a rough sketch or how you might get there.

This preliminary game plan will be a bit more than just rough; it will be a big hairy knarled creature dripping with muck and mire. But, if kept on a tight leash, it will be a great starting point to enable your new financial freedom to blossom.

What happens next is the testing and learning phase. You will need to try many things to find what works for your campaigns. This is where we look at “fishing poles and holes” mentioned last time. Will you be exploring a Google PPC campaign, SEO (search engine optimization), CPM/CPA networks, Email broadcasting, purchased leads, self generated leads, or ad distribution and site submission software? To manage the business of your endevoure, you will also need to explore back office systems to execute your campaigns and manage your work.

All these methods and systems are valid and can lead to high profits if done right, but they all can be financially damaging if done wrong.

You will need to know where your contacts/customers/leads are coming from. And know what it cost you to acquire them. Know your metrics.

Stop and take a close look at an unfortunate experience of mine for a minute. The first $9 commission I ever received just appeared in my account with some ambiguous number attached to it. (Apparently I was supposed to know what that meant.) I didn’t know where it came from, what campaign generated it, or whom that actual person was that shelled out the money.

I had nothing. I was beating my head against the wall to figure out how I might duplicate that success. If I could have funneled that through a large CPM/CPA network it could have been multiplied a few hundred thousand times over. (what an idiot)

Now let’s say that $9 profit cost me $100 in advertising or whatever promotion I had used. That $9 looks like chump change I realize, but it could have turned into (if I was half smart enough to plan properly, if I tracked my responses) an absolute bonanza. Yet, I didn’t, I lost out. (yes, I was not that smart)

This brings us back to education, probably the most important part of the puzzle. You will be spending money to make it happen for you, don’t get me wrong. More often than not the old saying, “you get what you pay for” holds a lot of merit.

One important point to remember – one VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, HUMONGOUSLY IMPORTANT thing to remember is not to pay good money for anything you will not LEARN from.

Free trials are fantastic, 30 day, 45 day, 60 day money back guarantees are outstanding. Also Pay systems like {email me} and others will even back you up on products. These trials give you the ability to see if it (the product or service, whatever) works for your campaign. There is no need to be left holding something you paid good money for that doesn’t work for YOU.

I personally swear by back office systems and autoresponders through {email me} and lead capture pages produced through {email me}, along with Google AdWords training through {email me}, as well as promotional products trough {email me}.(???? with a fantastic support page and staff that even transferred my purchase of one product that didn’t seem to be working for me over to another that has had dramatic results.

I hope this is somewhere to start you venture. I will follow with instruction on many types of campaigns, systems, and rip off avoidance in the near future.
