I apologize for the lack of any real updates on how my probate investing has been going. I’ve continued to send out my mailers and have been getting calls, but non have been motivated or really willing to sell at this time. Instead of writing the same old thing every week about sending out mailers and talking about non motivated callers I’ve been trying to break down every single aspect of what I’ve been going through (talking with callers, keeping …
30DC – Day 15 – Check This Tool Out!
Half way home! Day 15 was very exciting and it’s definitely going to make life easier for updating twitter, facebook and your blogs. I’ve tested out a few tools that would combine all of those social networking sites but I always went back to using the individual pages to do my posting and reading. Even though I still haven’t found a tool I like to read all the posts, tweets and facebook comments (i currently just use my iPhone) , …
30DC – Day 14 – Weebly and Facebook Pages
Did you know there is another blogging site out there? I didn’t! It’s called Weebly and it’s another blogging platform that 30DC recommends setting up a keyword optimized blog on. They go through how to setup an account and then some of the features on the site, it’s very basic. Again you’ll need a unique article that is optimized with your main keyword and then you’ll just post it to the blog. There are no special tips, just add …
30DC – Day 11 – Squidoo and Hubpages
Day 11 focused more on article publishing but in a bit of a different way using Squidoo and Hubpages. On day 10 we uploaded articles to ezinearticles and scribd, which were straight up article hosting sites. The sites today were about creating fan type pages much like you would in Facebook. I also categorize them as glorified one page website. In Squidoo you create what is called Squidoo Lenses. They define a lens as “…one person’s look at something online. …
More Marketing
I’m not quite getting the results I was hoping for with the craigslist and backpage marketing. On average I’ve been getting about 2 hits per day from craigslist and 0 from backpage. In fact I’ve yet to get 1 single View on backpage so go figure.

Finding it hard to find time
I first want to thank Jerry Dalglish for writing a great guest article about Staying Focused. It really pinpoints what the key is to being successful in this business. Here is a preview… When you are focused you are productive. When you are productive you tend to get things done. That may sound kind of trite, but I mean it seriously. For what seemed like an eternity I struggled with a lack of specific focus other than the idea …
Where did the week go?
Last week was crazy as I tried working around my new schedule. With the real estate license class on Tuesday and Thursday I was scrambling around. Shockingly to me I’m actually finding the class quite interesting. If I took this class about 10 years ago I probably would have been passed out on the desk, but I guess with my increased age and interest in real estate investing this class gets me thinking. There was a discussion on one of …
