Writing content for your lead generating website is how you will attract more leads. The greatest part of inbound leads is that your website content works for you as you sleep. What I have learned is to be specific with what you are writing about. General content, written to be a catch all, just doesn’t work. Pick a niche, and then niche it down even further. This post is part of a 5 post series were I break down how I …
How to Get a Website on a Shoestring Budget
I created my first website in 1997 while I was in my sophomore year of college at Virginia Tech. As an aspiring geek, i thought it would be cool to learn how to make a webpage. A free hosting account at GEOCITIES.com later and a crash course in basic HTML got me started. Oh if I could see that website again…I’m sure embarrassed would be putting it lightly. Even back then my choice of black, red and florescent color was a mistake. To make matters worse …
Let me tell you about my first time…
This was going to be a great week for me regardless of what ever happened with my wholesaling business. The reason is that I took the week off from my 9 to 5 job. I haven’t taken more then a day off in what seems like 2 years. In addition to that my wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on the 25th. As if that wasn’t good enough, my son turned 2 years old! It was a good …
Internet Leads Are Picking Up
I see my future in lead generation in being able to get inbound leads. What I mean by inbound leads are leads finding me by my websites or referrals, not me going out and actively marketing directly to a batch of people. It just makes so much more sense to me. There is a passive nature to it that I just love the thought of. Over the past couple months I’ve been slowly working on building my online presence. I’ve …
A Small Tip For Getting That Desired Domain Name
I find it very frustrating trying to come up with a domain name for anything real estate investing related that isn’t already taken. I have spent days looking for a domain name only to discover that unless I wanted something resembling a sentence…. WeBuyUglyHousesInNorthernNewJerseyAreas.com …I was out of luck. I don’t like long domain names because they are just to hard to read. You get lost in all the words. Just imagine what it would look like if you …
Some SEO Information Regarding How To Get Real Estate Leads

My Probate Website….Google Rank #1?
A couple of years ago I create a website to try and attract people who are looking up probate related topics in New Jersey. The thinking was that people searching for New Jersey Probate on Google where people going through the probate process and could possibly have a property that they need to sell. I basically wrote about 20 articles related to probate, setup an opt-in box for a probate guide and left it as is. I never checked the site …
Internet Lead Generation: Website Customization
Website Progress For the past two weeks I’ve been slowly personalizing my new buyer, seller and company websites. I do a little here and a little there, as time permits. When I take this approach to big tasks, the job seems much more manageable and less intimidating. The service I signed up for to create these sites did a wonderful job of setting them up with all the content, squeeze pages and layouts. They are created from a template, and …

Internet Marketing: So Much To Do!
I’ve spent the last two weeks going through some of the modules in the internet lead generating course. It’s not that anyone thing is hard, it is all fairly easy things to do and most of it is free. However, it seems like I should be doing 100 things at once and I’m starting to feel scatter brained. I hate this feeling because I waste so much time thinking about what I should be doing next instead of just …
Time, Skills, Enjoyment and Leverage…Say What?
I don’t know what it is lately, but I’m finding it harder to find the time to get things done. I wish exercise didn’t take up so much time because it seems on the nights I run on the treadmill, about 3 nights a week, it’s about all I can do. I run for about 30 minutes, takes me 15 to 20 minutes for stretching and cooling down afterwards and then another 15 to 20 minutes to shower. By the …

It peaked my interest for two reasons, first I’ve been t hrowing around the idea of substantially increasing my web presence with regards to getting leads.

Create Extra Marketing Money With Your Real Estate Blog
For those people who have been reading my blog for a while know that I’m pretty limited with my marketing budget of $200 per month. This gets eaten up quickly when half of that goes to my probate list provider. That leaves me with only $100 for Stamps, paper, ink and envelopes. Sending out 80 to 100 mailers each month is all i am about able to do. This causes a problem because I want to send out a multiple …
