I’ve used craigslist with some varying degrees of success in the past but I never took the time to really study it and learn what the best practices are. I’m sure this could be an article but I wanted to create a blog post outlining my road to internet marketing expert 🙂 haha maybe seasoned vet. I’m going to create a blog that deals with my local area real estate and start advertising using craigslist. I will post my progress …
Review: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
I’ve never heard of T Harv Eker before so when Kelly sent me the audio’s for this book I was very surprised at how powerful his messages are. It’s all about the way you think, if you think you are a 9 to 5 cubical worker that is all you will be. T Harv doesn’t blame you for having the money habits you have (at first). It is ingrained into your subconscious by all the childhood messages you get about …

Accountability Mondays and more
Accountability Monday For those that follow TampaSteph’s blog (flipthiswholesaler.blogspot.com) you will remember she started an Accountability Monday that seemed to be popular. It gradually evolved into something else so I wanted to bring it back. I’m also going to see if I can take it a step further and offer an added bonus to someone who succeeds and continues to participate in Accountability Monday. Here are the simple rules… On Monday you must post a comment with your 1 …

Her article Get up off of that thing – and network! gives great advice as well as …

Postcards – Lis Penden
Some one last week asked if I would share the postcards I use for my mailers to Lis Pendens. I’m always changing them but here are two examples that I use. They haven’t been working to well but that could be for many other reasons then not being good. Feel free to steal them or use parts of them. [ad#Banner1]
Get up off of that thing – and network!
Get up off of that thing – and network! By Shae Bynes As a newbie investor it is easy to be overwhelmed as you’re getting started. You’re trying to determine what type of investing you’re going to focus on, trying to get some cash saved up to use as earnest money deposits or for marketing, and trying not to be distracted by weekly real estate investing webinars selling you a new dream, another course, another service, another mentoring program. I …
Review: 4 Hour Work Week
I have always been a proponent of working smarter not harder. I am a computer programmer by trade which really helps me think in terms of automation. Every day in my J.O.B. I analyze situations and try to create a process that can be run with as little human intervention as possible. Nothing annoys me more then having to run an 8 step process, manually, every day or even once a week. So I work hard up front in order …

These items will be done every week along with additional goals I will be setting. Monday Exercise (golf or gym) Post ads on craigslist looking for buyers and …

Things I spend money are marketing with postcards driving around looking at houses educational material website tools (hosting, domain names and templates) Those are my main …
