PS- Don’t forget about the ORIGINAL insane bonus package, which you can see by just scrolling down the page…

SIMS is being offered starting tomorrow, Tuesday July 13th at 12pm EST. If you order SIMS through my special link you get access to the following insane bonus package:

1. Waived set-up fee for your very own official SaveMeFromForeclosure.com territory. No longer have branding or credibility issues when you can tell a homeowner that your company has a perfect track record with the Better Business Bureau. Plus so much more like:

- Door knocker scripts AND objection replies

Plus, MUCH, MUCH more that you can check out in detail here (Value $2,497).

2. Press Releases are a HUGE part of our Internet strategy. Press Releases are a component of SIMS, although quite honestly, there’s not enough time spent on them in the course (I went through SIMS with great detail, and found that this was one area that wasn’t as good as it could have been). Fortunately for you, Dreama and I recorded 2 separate audios EXCLUSIVELY on using Press Releases in your real estate investing business. These 2 audios will be made available to you for download after you order SIMS through our special link (Value $97)

3. As many of you know, Dreama used to do PR for the White House. When you order SIMS through our special link, Dreama will PERSONALLY write 2 press releases for you for any aspect of your business. This could be for a Property Launch, announcement of a new website, sale of a property, you name it, we’ll write it for you! (value $497)

4. Submission of Press Releases to all of the major Internet press release sites. Look, just because you’ve written your Press Releases, you’re only halfway done. Now you need to distribute them. Don’t know where to start, or don’t want to spend the time manually inputting them? No problem, not only will my team put them on a webpage for you, but we’ll submit them to all of the major free press release sites. Plus, we’ll show you exactly where and how we submit our Press Releases for any future ones that you do (Value $97)

5. Two (2) hours of FREE web development services from my own personal web developer! If you need any web pages created, blog plugins set up, or anything else web related, you can use my personal web developer (based in North America) for you needs. Work with someone who ONLY speaks English, so there’s no language barriers or confusion (Value $50)

6. Ability to use my wed developer for ongoing projects (after you use your first 2 free hours) at the insanely low reduced rate of $25 per hour! Finally, get any web work you need done so you can focus on your real estate investing. My developer understands all of the needs to be successful online. Don’t waste your time interviewing someone or hiring overseas, when you can use my developer (Value: priceless)

7. A free audio recorded about how I sold a house in 5 days in a snowstorm. Take what I did, learn from it, and apply it to the Property Launch Formula (Value: $27)

That’s $3,265 in bonuses in addition to finally getting an English speaking web developer who “gets” our business immediately added to your team.

Lots of other people are offering bonuses with big boxes of more “STUFF” that many of you don’t need. What many of you need is to take action and to implement. My bonuses, including writing by Dreama, web development work, and coaching and consulting from me, are worth FAR MORE than getting another big box of “STUFF” that’s going to sit on your shelf. My bonuses help you in 2 ways:

FIRST they get COMPLEMENT exactly what you get when you order SIMS through my special link.
SECOND they include work done by me, my developer, and Dreama that are tangible assets to your business, not more “STUFF” sitting on your bookshelf.

Remember that you can claim your bonus package when SIMS goes LIVE on Tuesday, July 13th at 9am PST/12pm EST and you order through my special link.

TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS BONUS, YOU MUST ORDER THROUGH MY SPECIAL LINK.

After you order, simply forward me an email with your receipt and we’ll verify your order.

IF YOU ORDER THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE’S LINK, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MY BONUSES!

I just realized earlier today that I am basically rebuilding my preforeclosure investing business from scratch, because I’ve moved from Vancouver, BC to Encinitas, CA. (For those of you unfamiliar with Southern California geography, Encinitas is about 25 miles north of San Diego, up the I5).

I arrived here on Tuesday, January 5th, and we met our new landlord at our rental place at 4pm. Needless to say, that day was pretty much shot just moving in our stuff into our new place. We actually didn’t have that much stuff to move in, as we are renting a furnished home until we figure out where we want to live exactly.

The rest of the week was spent getting settled. Getting things like a phone line, internet, and directv set up, buying groceries, learning the neighborhood, finding a new crossfit gym, etc.

One interesting thing that happened was that I was contacted by local investor who had seen a bunch of my videos on YouTube. He wants to “learn the business” from me, so it’s an opportunity for me to find someone to help me increase my lead flow quickly. I’m willing to teach him all that I know about marketing and finding deals, in exchange for him doing the actual work. I have no problem paying him (well) for bringing me deals.

Two important lessons here:

1. Don’t underestimate the power of video marketing. Do you know that YouTube is the 2nd biggest search engine in the world (after Google)? That’s right, YouTube gets more searches on a daily basis than either Yahoo or MSN. Amazing, isn’t it? If you need what I feel to be the best primer on YouTube and video marketing, check out YouTubeSecretWeapon. It’s where I learned pretty much all of my video marketing strategies.

2. Pay referrals well. I actually learned this from watching a video from my friend Preston Ely. In this video, he outlines his entire business model. One thing that he said that really resonated with me when I watched it (yes, I watch the videos that I email you about, before I tell you to watch them), is, (and I’m paraphrasing here), “don’t be a chump and offer weak referrals like $500 or $1,000, man up and pay 25% of the profit of each deal”. Now I haven’t met this new person yet (we have a meeting tomorrow for the first time, we’ve only spoken on the phone) but whenever I enter into a partnership, I have a standard speech that I pretty much give everyone: “Both sides need to be EXCITED and MOTIVATED about the partnership. If you ever get to the point where 1 side feels like they’re being screwed (like doing all of the work, or not getting enough of the profits), then the partnership will NEVER work.”

So that was the end of the week.  Nothing crazy, I was mostly focused on enjoying my new home, learning the neighborhood, and spending time with Dreama (my wife) and our children Stella (30 months old) and Sebastian (8 months old) by going for walks, taking them to the beach and the playground.  And of course, being the football junkie that I am, it was wildcard weekend.  Thanks to my DVR I can watch an NFL game much faster and don’t have to dedicate myself to setting aside 3.5 hours to watch a game.  (Side note, if you like to watch TV, and sports, like me, and you don’t have a DVR or a TIVO, you are literally wasting hours of your life each and every week.  Get one now.  Of course, if you don’t watch TV, you can ingnore this advice).

To start out this week I had a a meeting with my realtor.  This was a meeting that got me REALLY excited.  I “met” Brian online (via Craigslist) when I was shopping around for REOs and Short Sales in San Diego back in August, right after Dreama and I got a contract to sell our home.  Brian showed us a bunch of places back in September, including one short sale that we really like, but were outbid on it (someone submitted a higher offer than ours, literally the day before we wrote our offer).

Nonetheless, we kept in touch with Brian, and had our first meeting yesterday.  I was absolutely thrilled when Brian told me that right after we met, he started working with another investor doing “back to back” closings with short sales.  Brian was a realtor who completely “got it”.  I didn’t have to educate him on anything, but rather go an understanding of exactly how his process worked, vs what I had been used to doing in WA (for example, when was he listing the property?  Right away, or after the BPO was completed- if I have just confused you, don’t worry, more on that later).

Brian told me that his biggest challenge is finding more homeowners facing foreclosure, can you believe it!  My specialty.  We’re still working on the fine points of our arrangement, but suffice it to say that I’m working on lead generation and Brian is going to be going out, meeting with the homeowners, getting paperworked signed, listing the properties, meeting with BPO agents, and doing all of the rest of the work!

Yesterday afternoon I added a SaveMeFromForeclosure.com listing in Google local.  If you haven’ seen my free training yet on Google local, head over there right now.  It’s a fast, free and an easy way to quickly get listed on page 1 of Google!  My listing won’t appear yet, because I’ll have to verify it by mail rather than phone, but that task is now done.

Last night, I had a coaching call for our “Foreclosure Masters” coaching club.  (If you want to attend the next one for free, you can sign up here).  Anyway, the topic of “how did you find an investor friendly realtor” come up.  I must admit, it was pretty good luck that Brian really “gets” what we’re doing with back-to-back closings.  So the person asked me where to start looking.  If you’re looking for an investor friendly realtor, I would suggest starting out at your local REIA meeting.  Any agents who are there are going to either be investors themselves, or at least “investor friendly”.

So that’s what I’ve been up to since I have arrived.  I’ve got a lot more stuff planned for this week, and I’ll be sharing and blogging that information as the week progresses, so please check back here often.  As usual, if you have quesitons or comments, please leave them below!

The Internet is without question one of the most powerful weapons in my business today. We drive tons of leads (both buyers and seller) through our multitude of sites.

However, as I look back and think about what it took us to get there, it sure is scary. All of the time, money, effort, energy, we spent:

-On Search Engine Optimization (SEO)- both doing it ourselves, and companies who were supposed to do it for us (but we often discovered that we knew more than them)
-On buying home study courses about online marketing
-On attending workshops and bootcamps online marketing
-Hiring Virtual Assistants to implement what we learned
-Training those Virtual Assistants

Plus a whole lot more…

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret any of it (well, most of it). But if I could wind back the clock, I certainly didn’t build my online empire (I use that word loosely) the fastest, smartest, or easiest way.

My good buddy Colin Andrews Egbert (yes, even though he is a Buckeye he’s still my friend) has a brain dead simple way to take your business online: let him do all of the work for you!. Don’t believe that Colin and I are actually good friends? Here’s a picture of us with our families after a great dinner in San Diego last month:

Anyway, I want you to check out the recent webinar that I just did with Colin, and discover how you can have his team of online geniuses do all of the work for you:

The cool part about this is that it works for ANY business, not just real estate. Watch this webinar now. Colin can only take on 125 new clients. Want to be one of them? What are you waiting for? Get started right now!
