West Coast Girl 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2008 Hi Guys, I came across this and thought I would pass it along to my friends here at the one and only Naked-Investor. I hope you find it useful, but most importantly, helps you to find those elusive Buyers / Tenant Buyers! Enjoy! WCG The top 2 questions used to be: 1. How do you find motivated sellers?2. How do you get started with no money or credit? Pay Per Click: Google Adwords NOW … my single biggest question - hands down - is “How do I find buyers?” Whether you’re looking for wholesale buyers for your quick flips or you’re looking for retail buyers (or renters) for your existing properties. My partner, Brandon, is working on a comprehensive book with all the tactics and strategies we use to find buyers (we were actually out today with 2: one for a million dollar property and another for a $300,000 property) And they were “end” buyers. So, how do you go about finding these people? We do all sorts of things like: Craigslist (see November’s Real Estate Rant for specifics on Craigslist), Bandit signs, MLS, open houses, etc. However, there is one tactic that very few people know about, let alone talk about. And that is individual property websites.Sure, there are lots of places you can get a “property” website put up for you, but the sole purpose of this website is to sell a particular property. You are not a Realtor trying to appease a seller. You are an investor that wants to move a piece of property. So, it is essential that you have a very clear way - and reason - for people to contact you. So, let’s talk about how to do that… Well, last night, we were kicking around some ideas on new websites for our own properties. Here’s the template we came up with:http://www.performanceteamkw.com/propertie...lewood_driv.htm (You can check it out right now). So, today, I went ahead and put this one up and one for another one of our properties. They’re very simple, just a couple pages each and a web form so the person can contact us. Now, we didn’t tie it to any autoresponder, but you could if you wanted to. This was just a quick and dirty project that we wanted to test. Okay, so we got the websites up, but that’s not going to do us a lot of good. Sure, we could advertise from Craigslist or eBay to get traffic, but that kind of defeats the purpose. So, how do we get traffic? We’re going to use GOOGLE ADWORDS. I wanted to use this as a case study to show you how to do it and watch the process. I’m going to go through it step-by-step from A to Z so that you can duplicate it. This way, you won’t have to spend thousands of dollars on an Adwords course :-). However, there is a catch! We’re going to move through this stuff pretty quickly, so you’ll want to carve out about 15-30 minutes a day so you can stay on top of it and follow along because we’ll be doing it in real time! So, first things first… 1. If you currently HAVE a property you need to market, get a basic website put up. You can search for one online or you can email us and we’ll have our webmaster duplicate our template for you for $150 for an 8 photo site. (If you use an online template service, MAKE SURE that it is designed to CAPTURE INFORMATION) 2. Visit Google Adwords Learning Center 3. Go through the Adwords Basics 4. If you really want to learn the details, also go through the Adwords Policies. It’s valuable information and will help keep you on the right side of Google’s “laws” moving forward. That’s it for now! This will give you the basics of Google Adwords. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
