    Everyone is so nice! I’m looking for someone I don’t like, but I can’t find them. Tim Oppelt

    This CarrotCast episode is actually pretty darn unconventional. We’ve never done one like this before. You may hate it, you may love it, I’m not sure.

    But the reason I’m saying this is we recorded a little bit of a side conversation, Friday this last week, during the week of CarrotCamp, with my team.

    There were a couple of our guys from out of town, out of state, one of them from Delaware, one of them from Philly, and a few local guys.

    We were just kind of chatting. One of our Carrot Camper attendees, Beau Hollis, crushing it, does well over a hundred deals a year, he brought an amazing, amazing bottle of whiskey you could only get in Kentucky where he lives. So we cracked the bottle open, we sipped a little bit of whiskey, and we chatted for a half an hour, kind of decompressing CarrotCamp week.

    We talk about business culture, company culture, the perspective from some of these employees of Carrot, from these team members, their perspective of culture, and why they joined Carrot, and how they joined, and how you can do the same thing in your own business.

    What we’ve done here at Carrot, while it is unique to our culture, like what we’ve built is uniquely Carrot culture, you can build your own culture as well, and take these cues, take these tips, take the conversations from our team members, and infuse them into how you build your culture, moving forward to.

    Now, with that said, the audio is a little bit weird. We weren’t planning on recording a podcast at that time but I pulled out my cell phone and I literally just pointed it towards people, so my voice is definitely a little bit louder.

    If this is your first episode of CarrotCast, this is not how all of them are. This is kind of a special fun one, but hopefully you get some great information, some great content as you’re listening to this episode of the CarrotCast, a special one, behind the scenes conversation in our office, end of the week of CarrotCamp, talking about culture, hiring people, joy in your work, the whole shebang. Enjoy!

    Stop sabotaging your success. Learn to face the fear of taking risks. Trevor Mauch

    On this episode of the CarrotCast, I want to talk something I was discussing with a really high-level house flipping business CEO recently. Having the energy to make people feel better and thinking “who do I need to show up for today?” It’s really easy to get lost in your metrics. It’s really easy to get lost in your KPI’s. It’s really easy to get lost in your goals.

    Everyone gets lost. It’s part of being motivated. It’s part of being an entrepreneur. We tend to stop thinking about what and who we need to show up for right now and bury ourselves in the achievements and sorrows of our work.

    If this is you, listen to this episode and start changing your mindset. Start showing up for the people you love. Start showing up to make people happy. I hope this helps and starts making a difference in your life.

    I think investors today especially need to be educating themselves on creative real estate because lease options, owner financing, subject to’s, contracts for deeds and things like that become a lot easier to do when the market starts going down. Joe McCall

    Hey everybody! I’ve got a special guest with me today on this episode of the CarrotCast. I’ve known Joe McCall for years. Funny thing is, I didn’t even realize it until after we recorded this, I’m going to see him four times in person in the next about 60 days at four different Masterminds. Kind of cool, and we have a chance to talk about a lot of cool stuff on here.

    So the main things that you’re going to be grabbing away from this Podcast. There are some really cool things we didn’t even intend on diving into on the impact of Masterminds and what we’ve done with them and how you can even start your own the way that we have. We dive into that, we dive into wholesaling lease options. Why in this market environment, you need to be doing creative real estate because if you’re not doing creative real estate in this market environment where we’re at or near the top of the market, you can’t keep on doing things the way you’ve been doing it the last one or two or three years.

    We’ve seen Carrot customers go out of business, because they haven’t shifted it off of their strategy. So are you molding your business around your solution and not changing your solution? Are you molding your business around solving the problem your clients find? One of the ways that you can do that is with wholesaling and lease options and we dive into that in pretty good detail.

    Joe also dives into his process on finding the best cash buyers out there.

    Without further ado, let me welcome in Joe McCall to the CarrotCast.

  • Content Marketing for Real Estate Agents | How to Pick Your Niche Locations [Agent Whiteboard Series]

    Content Marketing for Real Estate Agents | How to Pick Your Niche Locations [Agent Whiteboard Series]

    Content Marketing for Real Estate Agents | Picking Niche Locations

    Video Transcription

    Hey, Trevor here with Carrot again, coming at you with video number three in this series, to walk you through how to go through our content marketing pyramid so you can finally crack through that clutter and really gain a competitive advantage in your market.

    We’re going to be talking about locations now. So by this time you’ve already discovered what your core values are. Why are you in business? You’ve written those down. You’ve done a simple video about why you’re in business and why you love to work with buyers and sellers. That’s going to help people resonate.

    Next.

    You’ve also picked between one and three niches. Things that you can really drill down on where you can tailor your message and your videos and your content, the way that you speak to people.

    First, you can tailor your audience to that message, because now you’re going to resonate with those people that are in those niches. It’s going to help you target your marketing down the same way we’ve grown here at Carrot.

    That’s because we have a solution that’s universal. We could sell our solution to plumbers, and to real estate agents, and real estate investors and financial planners. The solution solves all of it. But when we can niche our product and niche marketing down, we can better serve you and better make sure our content resonates with you so you notice it.

    Real Estate Niche Location

    The next step is locations. A lot of people think locations are just cities, towns, things like that. But what I would like to challenge you on is that locations are any particular spot or type of property that you can really focus a certain message on.

    Here are some examples. It could be towns. It could be a here in Roseburg, Oregon. Roseburg could be a location. You create a page for that, that has the Roseburg properties for sale on there from your IDX listings from Carrot.

    Then Sutherland, and then Winston and Reedsport and all those are different towns around Roseburg. We would definitely want all of those towns that have a page on the website with a title that’s something like a Homes for Sale In (insert city). Then probably a video.

    I’m really going out there with something that my competition can’t, they can’t put a video of me on their website. So put a video of yourself on your website explaining that location. Then put your IDX property listings after maybe a few paragraphs of content.

    Now other types of locations can be neighborhoods. So if you’re in a bigger city or even small town like Roseburg, there are certain neighborhoods that people really, really want to buy and sell houses in. Hucrest is one, even in the town of 30,000 people. If you go to Google and start to type up homes for sale in Roseburg, you’re also going to see other suggested searches after that for neighborhoods in there, which is kinda cool.

    Hucrest is a neighborhood, Melrose is a neighborhood that is pretty sought after in here. If people are searching for them, I want to create a locations page that ranks well in Google for those. I also want to create that video and get it up into YouTube and get on Facebook too. So I could turn those into ads if I want it to.

    There are other types of things that are property types. So if you’re a specialist, if one of your niches is river homes in a particular river or a country club or whatever it is, and that’s one of your niches, then you should create a locations page for that niche.

    Here’s an example, G Team, they’re a Century 21 brokerage here in Roseburg. They’ve done amazingly well, and they focus in on a few niches. On North Umpqua River homes, on lifestyle properties with great views, and income properties. They all happen to be about the same type of Avatar. The same type of person who probably has some income, looking to get an amazing house and also looking to grow their income with rental properties. So you can also create a page for property types like river homes.

    So here on Carrot we launched a page. It’s homes for sale on the North Umpqua, Roseburg, Oregon.

    location niche real estate agent website page

    Image Source: G Team Real Estate

    Then we create a video talking about homes for sale in North Umpqua River, and how they can help you. How they actually own a home in the river, and her parents own a home on the river, and they’ve sold tons of homes on the river. All in a short little video. You can do the same thing.

    Then below the video, we’ve actually put up a custom search through the IDX that only shows river homes for sale in that area. We’ve drawn a little boundary around there and it’s river homes for sale, so now they can drive people to a page that’s specifically for North Umpqua River homes for sale in the Roseburg area. They can drive traffic from Facebook, or from YouTube or when they’re talking with someone locally, they can say, “Hey, go to Xyz.com, forward slash river, and you can see all the updated properties.”

    Attracting New Prospects Via Niched Down Content

    When you’re going through and doing this, leverage our tutorials here at Carrot to walk you through how to do those page, or we do have services that can do it for you. If you’re not a Carrot customer, no big deal. It’s just going to be a little bit harder for you to set them up yourself to get them ranked well and Google on a different platform. But you can still launch locations pages for all these locations you do business in and don’t forget creating neighborhood ones or niche down property types if those are within your niche.

    Those are going to help you get better rankings in Google, attract new prospects, get people on your retargeting list for Facebook and it’s going to give you more content you can continually drive people back to in your content. Here’s one idea for you.

    Let’s say you’ve got your niches down and you’ve got your locations down and you’re taking out your cell phone and doing a piece of content on a river home today. Take it out and give your three to five-minute talk about a tip or something like that about river homes and then you can give a call to action to drive to this page for them or landing page.

    You could say, “Hey, just go to Xyz.com forward slash river to get an updated list of all of the North Umpqua River property homes for sale in this area, and you’re gonna be the first one to get notified of them. Go check it out. Xyz Dot com, forward slash river.”

    You can say that inside of your videos. It’s going to continually drive leads, build you up as the expert for that type of property, and you’re going to cut through that clutter and really, really grow your business. You’re not going to be stuck with whatever Zillow is going to be giving you. You’re not even going to care if there are a million other agents in the market because you’re the only one claiming the space for that niche.

    Stop sabotaging your success. Learn to face the fear of taking risks. Trevor Mauch

    What a crazy week! One of the worst but best. A fever, some poison oak, and a root canal forced me to take another look at my process and how I can serve the Carrot team better.

    Recently I’ve found myself wrapped up in agendas and failing to draw the line to what I can “throw away”, “hand off”, and “what need to be involved in.”

    I’ve also been creating strategy systems so our team can understand what I’d like see happen without being so involved. Things that not only drain my energy, but also the team.

    Most of all, I talk about flipping your risk profile and what that means to me. It can be difficult to take a risky leap from a job that is putting food on the table.

    But, if you don’t take a chance you’re 100% guaranteed to you won’t enjoy the benefits of being an entrepreneur.

    We very often compare ourselves as entrepreneurs with these business people that are selling billion-dollar companies or have $100,000,000 companies which I’m not close to on that area. The reality is that I’m playing on a different field. I set up a different game for myself and if you don’t actually have the ambitions and haven’t created the goal to get there and created a plan to get to that goal… it’s absurd to compare yourself. Brad Weimert

    On this episode of the CarrotCast we welcome on entrepreneur, adventurer, and founder of Easy Pay Direct, Brad Weimert.

    Brad has a similar sense of core values as we do here at Carrot. We seek out and build real relationships with people that are passionate about what they do and who they help.

    He does it with a slightly different approach than most.

    Learn what climbing the size of Mt. Everest TWICE taught him about high-performance in areas of his life that otherwise (without adventure) may never have been learned. Therefore, his entrepreneurial spirit also might not be burning as hot.

    Enjoy and get ready to be inspired to take on a new level of passion, commitment, and spirit.

    Place the power in others hands to find true freedom. Trevor Mauch

    Dan Sullivan, one of the top coaches for many entrepreneurs, defined the “Ceiling of Complexity” as, long story short, an overwhelming feeling of the company running you, rather than you running the company. It is a common challenge for quickly growing companies. Life and business just got a lot more complicated than it used to be.

    You might find yourself stuck with a feeling of immense pressure. The challenges and demands of running a business tend to drain you of your personal bandwidth. So what do you do?

    On this episode of the CarrotCast, we’re going to discuss how to learn to manage and maintain growth. The best ways to manage the complexity of growing a business and how to replace that with simplicity.

    Embrace the energy so that you are running your business or life instead of it running you.
