REI Marketing Tips

Last night I held the first ever “Short Sale Approval System” training teleseminar. Hundreds of people joined us as we reviewed how you can get tons of short sales approved, in writing, in 30 days, guaranteed!

I am posting the replay to the audio below, but before I do that, i want to make some important clarifications about last night’s call:

1. I kept telling everyone that the correct email address to send your deals to for evaluation was leads AT ShortSaleApprovalSystem.com. That was INCORRECT! The CORRECT email address is deals AT ShortSaleApprovalSystem.com. As you can see, I was suffering from a mild form of dyslexia last night…LOL.

I have corrected the email address so that moving forward, BOTH email addresses work. However, if you sent in a deal last night within the first two hours, please RESEND the email.

2. Many people on the call were asking about “what about if there’s 2+ mortgages on the property. In that instance, as long as it’s a “mix and match” of the lenders (listed below) we can handle them. In the case where only the 1st (but not junior) lien is with one of the lenders listed below, we can still work it, but you’ll have to work on the 2nd mortgage yourself. IMHO, the best thing to do is to stick with files that only have 1 lender, or if 2 lenders, it’s a combination of those below.

3. In the training I reference “the snake”. We’re taking part in a pilot program for this lender on Monday (we’re picking up 2 new deals tomorrow). I’ll let you know as soon as this is ready for public consumption, hopefully very soon.

Okay, here is the audio so you can listen (again). Also, below the audio, I’m going to a “matrix” showing you each lender, and their requirements. You need to listen to the call in detail to understand the matrix below. Please don’t send in any deals without first listening to the call below.

I know that I’ve been promising you all week that I’d have a new video sharing the biggest “Takeaways” from my marketing seminar this past weekend.

Well not only did I attend a marketing seminar, by my business colleague Miguel attending Ron Ballard’s short sale investing seminar this past weekend as well. For those of you who don’t know Ron, he’s California’s #1 short sale attorney.

We decided to divide and conquer, so I did the 3 day marketing seminar in San Diego, and Miguel drove up to Ron’s all day event this past Saturday in Newport Beach.

We recorded a very brief video where we each share our 2 biggest “Takeaways” from the weekend, and correlate them directly to real estate investing:

Also, I have sent you a couple of emails about posting properties to Sellpoint, the easiest way to distribute your property listings to boatloads of sites across the internet, all with a push of a button. You simply MUST sign up a for a free account here. Also, tell 3 friends and well….you’ll just have to visit the page to find out what cool FREE goodies you get.

Oh yes, and one other thing: add me as a friend on Facebook if you’re on it!

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!

Last month I said that I would be writing updates as to how exactly I was rebuilding my preforeclosure business for scratch in a brand new market, San Diego, CA.

Well I have been more on the “taking action” side of things rather than writing blog posts with updates (sorry).

But this Thursday night, I’m going to reveal exactly what I’ve been working on since I arrived here 1 month ago, and show you exactly how you can put the very same things into your business.

I’m hosting  a very special webinar training (with NO outside guests) revealing exactly what I’ve been doing in my business over the past 30 days, and how it’s already generating leads for me.  This special training will take place this Thursday evening, February 11th, at 5pm PST/8pm EST, and you’ll need to register for it right here.

Here are just a FEW of things that I’ll be covering on this very special training:

- The new Free Report that we just wrote that pre-sells your prospects for you (you actually overcome all of their objections by getting this free report in their hands)
- The “advertorial” style ad we use to get homeowners to download this free report in droves
- The simple 1 page website that we use to get the homeowners to download the free report (you can rip mine off, please!)
- How we use the telephone to screen out the tire kickers and lookie-lous (to get only the most qualified leads calling)
- The secret “door knocker” leave behind I’m using to get more eyeballs on this ad
- The press release template that we use in our local market to get more eyeballs on this ad and simple 1 page website

- The new sales letter I wrote for homeowners who are facing foreclosure (and why it’s my “best yet”)
- The two golden bonuses I am using to help me close the deal
- The secret way that I am delivering this letter (without paying for postage)

- The fax cover page I am using to blast realtors and get them to send me their short sale deals
- The “Guarantee” I put in this fax to skyrocket the response rates (and weed out the “you can’t do that” realtors)

Register right now for this training at 5pm PST/8pm EST this Thursday night, February 11th:

On this special training on Thursday night at 5pm PST/8pm EST I’ll also reveal:

- The new integrated web submission form and telemarketing script I created for my telemarketer (all online)
- The phone number retrieval AND “Do Not Call” tool I’m using to get phone numbers for prospects in a matter of minutes
- The place where I found an EXPERIENCED telemarketer for only $3/hr

- The door knocking script I’ve given my door knocker (chock full of the most common objections and how to overcome them)
- The best place to find your door knockers (so you don’t have to do it yourself)
- The one thing that your door knockers simply MUST do each time they go out for you (to maximize efficiency)

All of these tools have ALREADY helped drop short sale deals into my pipeline, and I’ve only been living in San Diego for 4 weeks now

Join me as I reveal all of the juicy information LIVE this Thursday night at 5pm PST/8pm EST on a very special training
call.  I invite you to join me and rip off, copy and steal all of my best stuff on this special training!

I sincerely hope that everyone who reads my blog and my emails has a wonderful holiday season.

No matter what holiday you celebrate, whether it’s Christmas, Kwanza, Hannukah or anything else, I truly hope that you and your friends and family have a wonderful holiday.

What has become annual holiday tradition is a present from me to you. This year, it’s a training video and a PDF that I recently did titled “5 Ways To Get A Deal Without Spending A Penny”.

Many times I’m asked how someone can get started investing if they have no marketing budget. Well this PDF and video should get you on your way.

This training is exactly the type of stuff that comes to you in print and on a DVD in my Foreclosure Master’s Coaching club. It’s only $49.95 a month, but you can get a free trial in it by visiting this page, or clicking on the banner at the top of this page.

That’s all for now. Dreama, Stella, Sebastian and I are making the move, and we’ll be leaving Vancouver on December 31st and arriving in San Diego January 5th. To keep us with us, our move, and life and business in general, you can follow me on Twitter, friend me on Facebook, and you can also follow Dreama on Twitter and friend her on Facebook.

Here’s the links to the PDF and video again.

Happy Holidays!

Watch the important video postcard I have for you:


"46 minutes of pure gold."

Hold on, it gets better.

Than Merrill, the guy from A&E's "Flip This House," created a cool training video a few days ago, that was...well...gold.

But his next video is even better, so stop what you are doing and watch this video. You can thank me later.

In it, he shows you how to show up on the first few pages of Google, so that motivated sellers see you (and your website) when they search to sell their house.

You HAVE to watch this video, its killer!
http://www.wholesalingu.com/go?w=bwu&p=vcrindc

The best part is this is something you can implement in the next 15 minutes and it won't cost you a thing. Seriously!

Watch this training video and then create your own business listing. It's super easy and might even get your phone to ring before the day is over!

He is even giving away prizes for people who put this simple and easy strategy into motion.

Don't forget to grab the new Profit Map that Than created that goes along with his video.

P.S. Be sure to watch Than's first training video on How to Find Probate Deals. If you missed it you can still get it, but you better go there now.

Go check it out!
