How Do You Like To Consume Your Real Estate Education & Training?
Posted by justin_lee | Posted in training | Posted on 12-04-2009
I just recently posted a replay to the training that I did last week for the entire REIMarketingTips community. If you missed that training or that post, you can click here or just scroll down the page and catch the replay.
Anyway, after I posted the training, a bunch of people asked me what happened to Than Merrill’s training on getting on the first page of Google.
That training was put together during Than’s launch for Wholesaling U earlier this year (BTW Than told me that he personally believed that they WAY underpriced the training @ $97/month, so those of you who took advantage of it got a heck of a steal).
Anyway, after I sent out the email about the replay for the training, a whole bunch of people asked me “Why can’t I see the training from Than about getting listed on the first page of Google”?
Well I’m personally working on a bunch of new “Local Search” stuff, which includes getting your business listed on the first page of Google.
This is where you come in.
If I were to do this training, how would you prefer to consume the information:
1. PDF with written explanations and screen shots of the various websites (”Local Search” goes WAY beyond Google…you’ll soon see).
OR:
2. Video screen capture of me inputting into the various “Local Search” sites.
If I’m going to do this, I may as well deliver the training to you in the format that you prefer.
I personally prefer PDFs, because I can print them out, take notes on them, and I can read faster than I can watch a video.
However, I know for some people especially those that struggle with technology, being able to watch a screen capture video of me doing something is far more valuable.
So here’s what I need to you to.
First, would you even be interested in this “Local Search” training?
And if you are, please post a comment below letting me know whether you would prefer the training to be in a PDF document or via video.
Thanks for posting your reply!

I prefer pdf format.
Justin - I’d prefer a pdf. Too much of a pain having to stop & start video to do what the training says. And, like you, I can read faster than I can watch a video… even with the speedy video software.
I prefer PDF format. In general, I find webinars and videos frustrating because I cannot go at my own pace (usually faster) and cannot take notes or easily backup.
I would prefer the pdf format so I can copy it. Thank you
I prefer a Combo…a pdf package handout as sort of like “Homework” and then a Video going
over the whole thing quickly. It allows for preparation, a content Blast, and then a review
with questions answered via phone or email.
PDF - you can re-review it whenever, and the static diagrams are just as useful as seeing something animated. Most of the time, the animation is not worth the problems with video taking the download time, driver problems (skips, audio dropouts, etc). Some videos are great, but I think overall, its not ready for prime time.
The only consideration is your time - what’s easier for you? The easier it is for you to post, the more material we’re likely to see!
PDF- That is easier to review when needed.
I think that Jay has it correct both formats have their value so why not do both
I like the combo…pdf and video.If not video pdf is fine..
I also would be interested in both options if your time permits. I think I would get alot out of that.
I’m a pdf type of guy.
I would prefer pdf so I can read and copy.
