REI Marketing Tips

It’s Saturday today but our team is hard at work: I’m heading to a marketing seminar today, Dreama is working on a new (secret) product, and Miguel (you met him in my last video we posted about piggy backing off of Chase Mortgage’s marketing) is headed up to Newport Beach, CA to attend a 1 day seminar with California’s #1 short sale attorney, Ron Ballard.

Are you doing any work today?

Although I’d much rather be sitting around watching the World Cup, but, the potential things I can learn, partnerships I can create, and joint venture partners I can find at the seminar here in San Diego today are far more important. Sometimes, to get to where you want to be, you have to put in a little bit of extra effort.

Speaking of learning and extra effort, I’m hosting a “2nd chance” webinar on Monday night, with my friend Jason Medley. Jason has a nationwide database of private lenders, AND he’s going to show you his latest and greatest: 30 Day Transactional Funding!

The webinar is going to be at 6pm PDT, 7pm MDT, 8pm CDT, 9pm EDT on Monday, June 28th. You can register for this free training right here.

I’d also like to remind you about the earlier blog post I wrote showing you how to get a flood of free traffic to your website. All you need to do is to leave a comment here on one of my blog posts. Pretty darn simple huh?

Anyway, no matter what you do today, enjoy your Saturday, and make sure to register for Monday’s “2nd chance” webinar showing you how to access a nationwide database of private lenders who are ALREADY lending their money for real estate deals, AND how to get 30 day transactional funding for your business.

Last month I wrote a blog post about how Chase Home Finance had opened 51 “Home Ownership” centers across the country. These centers were to provide free foreclosure and loan modification counseling for anyone who was behind on a Chase mortgage.

I mentioned this and asked people to find creative ways on how they could use this information to grow their business. I actually went out to one of the Chase Home Ownership centers here in San Diego, but discovered that they don’t refer any business out. Even if the homeowner is denied a loan modification!

But I knew that these were high traffic areas with highly targeted prospects: people behind on their mortgages. I recorded a quick video to show you how we ended up targeting these homeowners:

After you watch the video below, please leave a comment. I installed a new plug-in on my blog, and it automatically gives anyone who lives a comment on my blog high ranking, one-way back link to their site just for a leaving a comment.

Now why would you want to do that, you ask? Well, one of the best ways to get your sites to rank higher in the search engines is to get lots of ONE WAY links coming to your site. That’s because Google sees each link as a “vote” in terms of relevance and popularity for your site.

Normally this is very time consuming, but I found a new WordPress plugin called “Top Commentators”.

The Top Commentators plugin actually lists the top 10 commentators on EVERY PAGE of the bloggers blog WITH a one-way link back to the commentators website! Do you see how big this can be? If you are ranked as one of the top 10 commentators on a blog with 50 pages you’ll instantly get 50 one-way links pointing back to YOUR website! How cool is that? What if the blog had 100,000 webpages?

So here’s how this works…

You need to find blogs that are using the Top Commentator plugin (do a Google search) and you need to leave RELEVANT, USEFUL comments on those blogs.

So where do you start??? Here’s where you can help me, help you…

If you look on the right side bar you’ll see that I have the Top Commentators plugin installed. And because I have only a few comments at this time, YOU can easily become a Top Commentator listed on this blog with a one-way link back to your site! And yes, my blog will be is continually growing, which means more and more links and free traffic back to your website over time.

So there you have it…a free way to get quality traffic. All you need to do is post a USEFUL comment here on the blog. I figured that this post was the perfect start, because there’s a great video on here.

So happy investing, let me know how you enjoyed the video, and leave a comment and start getting MORE traffic back you to YOUR website!

Chase Bank will host multiday foreclosure prevention counseling events in eight markets across the country.  The events will occur over the next five months and the first one will be held in Chicago from May 13-17. Events for Atlanta and Washington, D.C., will follow in June. Dates for the remaining markets — New York, Northern California, Orlando, Phoenix, and Southern California — have not yet been announced.

Now as a real estate investor, how can this benefit you?

Well, do you think that a lot of your prospects (homeowners facing foreclosure) might be at these events?  Did you know that Chase opened 51 Chase Homeownership Centers nationwide to help homeowners facing foreclosure?

Check the list.  Their might even be one in your town.  There’s 2 of them here in San Diego.

My team and I are sitting down today to strategize about how we might be able to work with these centers.

I wouldn’t recommend just running in the door and screaming “We Buy Houses!”.

However, if you think about this strategically, there might be a way to let the people who work at these Chase centers know that you’re interested in buying short sales.

I’d love for you to post a comment and let me know how you might approach these centers and create a win-win-win for everyone involved (Chase, the homeowner, and you).
