- What makes his online marketing strategy so effective for him in his market

This case study is a full-length deep dive into Jack’s story and how he’s built a very successful wholesaling and investing company over the past 2-5 years and his exact strategies on how he cuts through the clutter online in a sea of other competitors trying to find active cash buyers in his market too.

  “I found you guys, and I’ll be honest w/ you. All I did was this Trevor. I just did what you guys said to do. Because everything is pretty much done. You just pull it out of the box. A few things you have to do on the backend. I just did what you told me to do. And the rest was history. I’ll be honest w/ you… I haven’t done direct mail on over a year.

How Daniel Used Carrot To Grow A Powerful Cash Buyers List Of 1,700+ Online
How important are cash buyers to a house wholesaling or flipping business? If you ask Daniel DiGiacomo of Baltimore Wholesale Property… he’ll say pretty darn important (to the tune of over $180,000 of extra business in 12 months).

Are those results typical? Not really… because Daniel was hustling on a daily basis and showing up to our coaching calls weekly… and worked his butt off hitting the streets building great relationships in Baltimore. Those results are his results and they rock!

Daniel is the CEO of one of the most active real estate investment firms in Baltimore and an InvestorCarrot customer for the past 2 years.

We had a chance to sit down with Daniel recently and have a conversation with him about…
- How he got started in real estate investing (from a background as a financial analyst)
- Why he didn’t start off wholesaling like everyone else… but how he now does 6 figures per year just with the wholesaling side of their business (this doesn’t count their rental portfolio or other investments)
- The opportunity that “note investing” poses for investors and why it’s almost exclusively his primary way to acquire discounted properties
- What Daniel did to build a powerful cash buyers list of over 1,700 names using Carrot and why after months of research and testing he found that Carrot helps yield him the highest ROI on his money and best results at the end of the day vs. building a custom website
5 Signs You’re Likely To Fail As An Entrepreneur And Real Estate Investor

Hear Daniel’s Story + Learn How He Has Built Such A Powerful Cash Buyers List Online

This case study is a full-length deep dive into Daniel’s story and how he’s built a very successful wholesaling and investing company over the past 2-5 years and his exact strategies on how he cuts through the clutter online in a sea of other competitors trying to find active cash buyers in his market too.

Things Daniel Covers…
- Start – 7 mins talks about how he got started in real estate (apartments to wholesaling to tax lien investing)
- 8:30 talks about his tax lien investing
- HUGE tip on listing his properties w/ Carrot on how he gets more traffic and leads through Google w/ his property listings
- 18:00 Discusses why he chose InvestorCarrot vs. a $10k custom built website…
  
  “It took less than 90 days for me to be super impressed” (18m). After a couple of failed attempts with other website alternatives, I finally landed on Carrot. My alternative was to pay someone to build a custom website and platform… I had seriously considered paying somebody tens of thousands of dollars to build a pretty robust platform.
  
  I walked into this thing saying alrighty I’ll work on it as much as I want to work on it long-term and if I get the results I want to get with the work I want to put into it within 90 days I’ll stick with it. And I got those results, I got much more than expected in that 90 day time frame with the amount of work I wanted to do. After that 90 days, I decided to really explode it and ramp up my focus and work on my Carrot site”
- 19:50 tip on building your cash buyers list through targeting online conversations on google
- 22:10 what he’s doing w/ Facebook to grow his cash buyers list and business
- 24:00 what he’s done to customize his sites and time commitment
- 25:28 talks about power of Content Pro.. “It’s great having the content pro articles so I have a framework to go from, then we’ll tweak them up a bit and it’s been very helpful. You don’t have to edit every post but it can be a powerful booster, and saves time and money from writing your own”
- 29:35 on why he’s launching into other markets such as Florida in 2016
- 35:17 – why he loves carrot (yay!) :-)
  
  “The short answer is that Carrot makes all of the decisions for me. The framework exists… and all I have to do is sort of tweak some things and I don’t have to put a whole lot of energy into building that framework. I’m not just talking about the code and pages… I’m talking about the strategy, ideas, and content based on performance… and the follow-up… is incredible support.”

Getting More Motivated House Seller Leads Online – David Brown Case Study
One of the coolest parts of my job that I get to do here at InvestorCarrot is chatting with our awesome customers and diving into what makes them tick and what makes them successful.

We record some of those conversations with customers and turn them into Carrot Case Study Calls so you can get some amazing insights from our successful customers on how you can grow your business, sharpen your mindset, and leverage online marketing more effectively.

David Brown with Sell Now Home Buyers, a Carrot member for about 18 months as of the time I hopped on the call with him has been doing really cool things online with his real estate investing / wholesaling business. I was able to have him walk through an update of his story as an investor, where his leads come from, and what his online marketing strategy is that has led to 5-8 motivated seller leads per week and consistently profitable deals,

David also has a really interesting perspective that most investors and Carrot members don’t have… his past career was building custom websites for real estate investors… and in this case study he also walks through his decision to give up building websites and start leveraging InvestorCarrot’s highly specialized and effect inbound online marketing platform for his own business.

Click the video ” Getting More Motivated House Seller Leads Online With David Brown” below to dive in!

On This Case Study You’ll Learn…
- How David got started in real estate
- His primary online marketing strategy to pull in motivated seller leads
- Why patience is key when focusing on SEO to generate leads… BUT why it’s now his highest return on investment marketing strategy
- How David is able to get closed and profitable deals from his online marketing at a total lead cost of about $150 per deal (and net $10k-$15k on each deal)
- Why he gave up building custom real estate investor websites for clients and even though he knows WordPress inside and out… exclusively uses InvestorCarrot for his own real estate investing websites and his client (this is really interesting here)
… and more!

How A 23 Year Old New Investor From California Closed 18 Deals His First Year + How To Get Motivated Seller Leads Online through SEO
Over the past year, we’ve added well over 250 testimonials from our customers to our “Thread of Awesomeness” here at Carrot. The “TOA” as we call it is a section in our internal company communication tool where our team shares awesome stuff our Carrot Inbound Online real estate investing website customers send us on a near-daily basis.

And one of those that we kept seeing pop up consistently, are two young investors out of Southern California named Josh and Adam Justiniano. (NOTE: All content and design on InvestorCarrot websites and our clients are copyright protected to protect our clients. Please do not copy our customers website content or design. It’s just not the cool thing to do. :-)

Here’s one of the first email convos I had with them about their first deal they closed from the online inbound marketing and SEO campaign (their InvestorCarrot website is a motivated seller lead gen site)…

UPDATE: Since then Josh has been closing lots of deals. Here’s an email he sent us this week. He had a property in Sacramento, CA under contract but no buyer so he reached out to us to see if we could connect him with other Carrot members in that area. We did, and he turned that into a deal in less than 2 weeks! The power of our Inbound Marketing system and the Carrot Community in action :-)

That’s the kinda stuff we LOVE to see!

As you’ll see in the case study video with Josh of QuickHomeOffers below… that was just their FIRST deal from their online inbound marketing efforts for their real estate investing business.

Check out the video case study I did with Josh recently below…

How To Get Motivated Seller Leads Online through SEO – 18 Wholesale Deals In California From Pure Hustle (and smart outsourcing) In Their First Year (12.5 months actually :-) Of Business

In their first full year as real estate investors Josh and his brother Adam closed 18 deals… and when I shot this case study with them in January 2015 they closed another 2 deals that month alone. 4 of those deals came from their SEO (search engine optimization) efforts through InvestorCarrot… totaling over $32,000 in gross profits!

How’s that for an ROI?

Their story is really inspiring, very real (Josh tells you what it takes to get consistent leads online), and will hopefully help push you over the edge to take action big time in 2015! And if InvestorCarrot is a part of your journey too this year… awesome! If not, we still love ya and will keep bringing you great content every week just like this.

Important Lessons From This Video Case Study With InvestorCarrot Member And Investor Josh Justiniano
- Age is only a factor if you make it one (if couple early 20 something investors closed 18 deals their first year… you can too!)
- Online marketing and SEO, especially for motivated house sellers, isn’t quick and isn’t as simple as just putting a website online and sitting back. Josh dives into what they did to go from ZERO motivated seller leads to a consistent stream of leads in competitive markets with SEO.
- They tried setting up a website on wix and it failed miserably. Like he says, “I’m not an online marketing expert and have no clue how to write content that converts or what to put where. Carrot made it easy… because I could just follow the format that their content was… and just rewrite some of it in my own words. It converts great and I never could have done that on my own website”
- Tweaking their content was the first important step. They leveraged our framework to make it easier and quicker and tailored the content to be specific to their own business
- They bring in their deals with a mix of marketing. Online lead generation is just one part of it. So make sure you have a smart mix of online and offline marketing.
- They leveraged our “Loopnet” strategy for ranking well in specific cities (if you’re an InvestorCarrot member, check out our full Mastermind Call recording in the call archive to see how to do this strategy in detail. Half of their leads come from this strategy.)
And more.

If you’re an InvestorCarrot member, use this as inspiration to implement motivated seller lead generation through SEO leveraging the tool you have at your fingertips… our training… and support.

You’ve got the exact same resources as Josh has.

If you’re not an InvestorCarrot member yet and are curious to see if this can help you generate more leads online (motivated sellers, buyers, tenants, note sellers, etc.), take our demo and check out what InvestorCarrot has to offer.

Carrot members hold more page 1 and top 3 positions in Google for search phrases that attract motivated seller leads than any other website platform on the planet.

We’d love to help you grow your real estate business too :-)

Carrot Case Study: Why A Website Developer Decided To Use Carrot To Grow His Real Estate Business
When we first got started here at InvestorCarrot we were honestly focusing mainly on investors who wanted a quick, easy way to get the best performing real estate website online fast at a great price.

But over the last six months (when this story was filmed), we’ve realized that Carrot is attracting a type of customer we hadn’t expected quite as much…

… people who are advanced real estate investors can build their websites themselves but find it more cost-effective and effective to their bottom line to use our system rather than build their website.

If you’re in that boat… the “I’ll just create my own WordPress website and go it on my own” mindset… you’ll want to watch this video case study.

This first Carrot Client Case Study / Review is from David Brown of Sell Now Home Buyers in New York.

In this video case study, you’ll…
- Hear David’s “startup story”… how he got started, what struggles he went through, how he overcame them and how he’s grown his real estate business.
- Learn why David, even though he owns a company that builds custom real estate investor websites (they build GREAT sites too), chose to join InvestorCarrot instead of building himself a website (HINT: He explains why Carrot is in the long run actually lower cost, more effective, and less hassle… all giving him MORE TIME to spend doing what he enjoys)
- How David is driving traffic to his websites currently
- Why he loves video marketing in conjunction with InvestorCarrot to generate great SEO rankings and leads
- … and more!
It’s a great call that’ll inspire you and walk you through David’s real estate business journey… and if you can build your own websites (or if you have a “nephew who said he’ll build me one for $200″… this interview will show you why that decision is costing you MORE money vs. just joining Carrot).

Leave a comment below if you have questions for David, or just throw David some props!

*Note: David is focused and determined and worked her butt off at the beginning to get the results he’s earned. David did purchase the 3 Lead Per Day Training program upgrade (only $99) and applied the training diligently for several months to get him high rankings in Google and the leads that have come with those rankings. Your results will vary. Our most successful clients are the ones who have a positive mindset and have a plan for generating traffic to their website and implement that plan (the 3 Lead Per Day Training lays out a plan, so if you don’t have plan, upgrading to that training may be a good option for you after you sign up). Those who just set up websites and don’t do the work will get results equal to the effort and focus put in.
