From Zero to $100K/Month in 12 Months: How Mike Closes 3-4 Carrot Deals Every Month

From Zero to $100K/Month in 12 Months: How Mike Closes 3-4 Carrot Deals Every Month Investor/Agent Mike Wall turned his real estate investing side hustle into a steady business, closing 3-4 deals monthly with an average profit of $25,000 per deal by focusing on high-quality lead sources that saved him time & energy. Here’s how he did it. Closing 3-4 Deals Per Month at ~100k/mo Profit $25k Profit Per Deal On average, at 3-4 deals per month $4,000 Per month Marketing spend (PPC + Carrot) Take our free interactive demo to get a full walkthrough of what Carrot can do for you. The Challenge: Chasing Unmotivated Leads & Overspending on Marketing Mike was a real estate agent with a brokerage of 20 agents, doing 300 deals per year, who dabbled as an investor but decided to get serious about it. It only took a few months into investing to get tired of chasing down un-motivated leads and competing against other investors for the same lead lists — cold calling, direct mail, text blasting, etc. He was spending time chasing dead leads and blowing his marketing budget without closing deals. Before Carrot, Mike paid $7k for two custom websites and spent $5k/month on offline marketing but was hardly getting any visits to his website and had ZERO leads. He’d wasted money and wasn’t standing out. I never got anything from my old custom websites… You go where people are getting results. I saw people in competitive markets using Carrot, so I knew it was the platform I needed. He realized it was time to rebuild his investing business on proven, consistent marketing sources. That’s when he found Carrot: The Solution: Mike’s “AHA!” Moment – Finding Carrot & Dominating Google When Mike realized the most motivated leads were searching on Google, he started researching which website builder to go with. The AHA moment was when Mike was Googling “we buy houses” in competitive markets and found Carrot sites were the ones ranking. He noticed Carrot laid out a path for creating an inbound flow of leads like he was searching for – and that a Carrot site was the “hub” to send all your marketing to so it converts better. Step 1 was getting a Carrot site launched and doing the initial work to optimize it for SEO. Mike knew that SEO results take diligence and time, so to get leads immediately, he began sending Google Ads/PPC traffic to his new site. Step 2 was logging into his Carrot site and using tools like the one-click Location pages, and Automated Credibility Posts, along with the AI rewrite tool to pump out content that would rank well in Google. He made sure to save time by following Carrots training and guidance every step of the way. × × Demo Carrot: How many deals are you losing to your competitor’s website?

Want to make your website stand out? You’ll love block patterns!

There’s a fine balance between ensuring your website performs well and stands out. We’ve spent the past 10 years refining website templates for real estate investors, making them excel at ranking well in search engines, building your credibility, performing lightning-fast, and turning visitors into highly motivated leads. × × Join Carrot: How many deals are you losing to an underperforming website? Join Now But that doesn’t mean we don’t care about how your website looks. Your website is your online business card and should reflect your personality. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Carrot members now have even more website customization options! Did you know that Carrot has a team of in-house website designers dedicated to improving your site and Carrot experience? Well, they recently added 50 new block pattern designs so you can easily customize your website and make it look as unique as you are. What’s a “block pattern?” Think of each webpage as several sections stacked on top of each other. You have the “hero” section at the top of the page (usually with an image and the page title), then maybe a section of text or an image gallery, probably a “call to action” section that lets visitors easily contact you, a section that shows off your customer reviews, and so on. We pre-built many of these key sections as “block patterns.” It simply means a section pre-designed to serve a specific purpose.  We know it’s important to you that your site “doesn’t look like every other website.” Using block patterns is a great way to do that! Carrot offers a variety of block pattern styles for the most important sections of a site. All you have to do is pick your favorite style and add your information. You can use any block pattern on any page. The beauty of pre-built patterns is that you can customize the look of your website without being a web designer. With just a few clicks, you can quickly transform key pages from the out-of-the-box template into something that stands out and fits your style. Block Pattern Categories Finding a design to meet your needs can be difficult if you’re searching through a seemingly endless library of options. What if you use one and then find something you like better? Pattern Categories solve that problem. You can easily browse pre-built sections that meet your needs by deciding what you’re trying to accomplish with that webpage section. Block pattern categories included: The patterns you see are pre-loaded with your brand colors, so they’ll seamlessly blend into your website’s look and feel. Feeling creative? You can edit these patterns and add content, then save them to “My Patterns” for easy use on other pages. Find your design Using different block patterns is a great way to break up a page and make it easier for visitors to process information. For example, you can replace a block of text with icons and short blurbs that draw attention and make a big impact. Select from over 500 pre-loaded icons across a dozen categories and customize your icon color so your site truly reflects your business. Whether you like sharing maximum information or prefer a sleek design, the block patterns give you options. Some patterns are text-heavy, others are very streamlined, and others stylishly mix images and text. The “Content: How it Works” and “Content: FAQ” patterns, in particular, offer a wide array of styles. If you have those sections on your website, now is a great time to revisit them and refresh your site design. Not sure exactly which block pattern you like … Continued

How Keith Sant Transformed His Real Estate Business and Closed $500k/yr Using Carrot Keith Sant was once stuck in the grind of chasing cold leads, pouring countless hours into old-school marketing methods that weren’t delivering quality leads. Today, he closes 2-4 high-value real estate deals every month, generating six-figure revenue from quality Carrot leads.

The Challenge: Keith Was Reliant on Offline Marketing that Generated Low-Quality Leads, Wasting His Valuable Time He was at his wit’s end. As a real estate investor, he poured long days and late nights into traditional marketing—cold calling, text-blasting, anything to bring in potential leads. But it was exhausting, and the results were rarely worth the effort. “I was burnt out,” Keith says. “I was talking to people who weren’t ready to sell, and I felt like I was spinning my wheels.” He knew there had to be a better way to reach motivated sellers. Like many wholesalers, he was spending too much energy chasing leads who weren’t serious about selling. He wanted a way to attract people who were ready to make a decision and get off the marketing Hamsterwheel – for good. The Solution: Generating a Stream of Quality, Inbound Leads with Carrot One of Keith’s first leads through Carrot was a call he’ll never forget. It was a seller who had reached the end of their rope—desperate to sell quickly and willing to offer owner financing just to get the deal done. Keith stepped in and made it happen, closing the deal with ease. “That was a $100,000 deal,” he recalls, the excitement still fresh in his voice. “It was incredible. Here was someone who needed real help, and I had the solution they were looking for. This was what I’d been missing.” It was this win that solidified Carrot’s value for Keith. The $100,000 deal didn’t just mark a financial gain—it was the turning point where Keith realized he could genuinely help people in need while building a successful business. Keith’s Success Steps: How He Transformed His Business and His Life Keith’s journey wasn’t just about getting a website online; it was about creating an online presence that brought him motivated sellers who needed his help. Here’s how he made the shift, one step at a time: The Result: Keith is Closing High-Value Deals, Consistently Keith’s journey is a testament to the power of pivoting when you need change. “If I could go back, I’d tell myself to take this leap sooner,” he says. “Carrot didn’t just change my business; it changed my life. I’m not stuck grinding through endless cold calls anymore. Now, I’m building something real, with clients who are grateful for my help. It’s exactly the kind of business I wanted.” Our Follow Up Q&A How has Carrot changed your day-to-day life? Keith: “Carrot has changed everything about my day-to-day.

From $20k in Debt to Six Figure Profits: A Deep Dive into Tyler Ford’s Journey

From $20k in Debt to Six Figure Profits: A Deep Dive into Tyler Ford’s Journey Tyler Ford generates nearly six figures monthly by closing just 2-4 real estate deals and credits mastering SEO and targeted lead generation as the key tools that helped him scale his business while working smarter, not harder.This is how he does it Closing 2-4 Deals Per Month $20-$30k Profit Per Deal Targeted Lead Gen Through SEO Mastery Take our free interactive demo to get a full walkthrough of what Carrot can do for you. The Challenge: $20,000 in Debt and Struggling to Generate Qualified Leads Tyler Ford started his real estate career using traditional marketing strategies but quickly realized they weren’t yielding the results he needed. I was spending a lot of time on tactics that weren’t bringing in the right leads. I needed a smarter way to grow. Despite his efforts, Tyler’s website and high Google rankings weren’t converting into profitable deals. He recognized that most real estate agents were overlooking off-market opportunities and needed a more targeted approach. I could drive traffic to my site, but without the right leads, it wasn’t translating into sales. I had to rethink my entire strategy. What was missing? Tyler realized that focusing on traditional methods wasn’t enough—he needed to attract motivated sellers specifically looking for off-market deals. Tyler pivoted his strategy toward mastering SEO and targeted lead generation, which allowed him to scale his business and close more profitable deals. To grow his real estate business early on, Tyler Ford relied on traditional marketing methods but struggled to see meaningful results. When you’re using outdated strategies, it feels like you’re working hard but not getting anywhere—one month you close a deal, but the next, the leads dry up. And while you might have some visibility online, it’s not converting into profitable deals. It felt like I was doing all this work, but I wasn’t seeing consistent returns, and there was little I could do to change that with my current approach. The Solution: Master SEO and Targeted Lead Generation Then Tyler came across a Carrot webinar where Carrot CEO Trevor Mauch discussed the power of SEO and online lead generation. I immediately thought, “This is what I’ve been missing.” I wanted to attract qualified leads directly to my business, not rely on outdated methods. I saw how focusing on SEO could completely transform my approach, and once I understood the impact, it was an easy decision to dive in. Tyler got to work mastering his SEO Approach and saw immediate results in generating quality traffic that turned into a consistent pipeline of highly motivated leads. The Strategies: Tyler’s 8 Steps for Success 1. Complete Online Presence Overhaul Tyler realized that having a website alone wasn’t enough. Even with good Google rankings, his old website wasn’t converting qualified leads. It’s like having a storefront on a busy street with locked doors and the lights off, making it impossible for potential customers to see what you have to offer. 2. Focus on One Thing: Master SEO Tyler knew he needed to master one aspect of marketing instead of spreading himself too thin. He chose search engine optimization (SEO) because it would have the biggest impact on his online visibility. Rather than trying to learn multiple marketing tactics at once, he became a master of laser-targeted SEO. 3. Laser-Targeted SEO SEO wasn’t just about attracting any traffic but about specifically targeting motivated house sellers actively searching for his services. Through meticulous keyword research, Tyler uncovered the “digital fingerprints” left by his target audience, optimizing his website to appear at … Continued

$40k Profit per Deal | The Power of Inbound Marketing w/ Beau Hollis

$40k Profit per Deal | The Power of Inbound Marketing w/ Beau Hollis How SimplySold has achieved a $40,000 per deal business using Carrot. The company is a local, Louisville-based business that uses Carrot’s inbound marketing guidance and resources to gain new clients online. Snapshot: Beau Hollis is the founder of SimplySold in Louisville, Kentucky. He’s been investing in houses for the past 7 years. Currently, the majority of his business involves acquisitions that he does himself. He also has an acquisitions person and a full-time videographer. It’s a low-key, small operation, but it has a high intention, and they go aggressively after deals. “You know, I spend my time and effort and energy to do this business to provide for my family, not only money but years of my life, getting this up and going to have it, work is worth, the journey is not in vain.” From Beau’s Carrot leads, his average profit per deal is nearly $40,000. He’s done $400,000 in assignments in his Carrot site alone in the last six months. Before using Carrot, he had no online presence and no experience in building websites. “I had no world tech experience, and I just didn’t have an online presence. I didn’t want to have to build a website. So Carrot made that really easy for me. Obviously, people cannot find you, people have no clue who you are, they can’t find your business, they don’t know if you’re in business at all, and so if they can’t find you, they can’t do business with you. So you have no lead flow inbound from a website.” At first, his vision was to dominate the outbound marketing space, whether it was cold calling, texting, or other things. However, the lifespan of somebody doing outbound marketing all the time is limited. “I have come from a background of sales, and I understand that you’re gonna do this one thing all the time, whether it’s cold calling or texting or putting out bandit signs, and there’s a lifespan to that.” Outbound versus inbound leads are two things that are drastically different. Outbound leads are when you’re seeking out someone. A lot of work, effort, and energy is going into it before you even think about reaching out to the person. Inbound marketing, or evergreen marketing, is a completely different mindset. You optimize your website with content: videos, blog posts, and testimonials. Inbound offers a whole other world. People are seeking you out. The challenge: Creating the path to the world of inbound marketing This is a business to close deals. Serious real estate agents and investors want to make Evergreen inbound marketing a real avenue, not just a little street but a highway. Evergreen inbound marketing takes a plan and plenty of patience. It takes a lot of video work on YouTube and on-page SEO with keywords and good content for high rankings. “My expectation was that I’m just going to turn it on, get it up and live and then it would just bring in the people just saying, please take my house, that’s why I thought it was at the beginning when I first got, I just got it up and I just had, I just had it out there, I didn’t do any kind of optimization. I did zero, absolutely zero customization to the website.” His website had been just sitting there for a long time. Years. Then Beau had a conversation with Trevor to get the ball rolling. He started implementing on his website and using the tools Carrot provides our members. Keyword tracking, campaign tracking, video postings… and over time and hard … Continued
