What No One Tells You About Designing a High Converting Real Estate Investing Landing Page

By

Ok, so you’re knee-deep in real estate investing and now you want to start to generate a cash buyers list. Do you drive them to your main real estate investor website and hope they punch in their information to join your cash buyers list… or do you learn how to set up a real estate investing landing page (some people call them squeeze pages or lead pages)??? The answer is both… but if you really want to generate a lot of cash buyer leads for your real estate investing business you’ll want to set up what we call “Lead Pages.”  In this post we’ll show you why landing pages work, we’ll show you real estate landing page examples, and show you how to get your own landing pages up and online quickly. Why Real Estate Investing Lead Pages Work Landing pages have been used online for a decade or so… evolving each year it seems to add in some fancy flashy new gizmo to help increase conversions.  You’ll see videos on many landing pages, pictures, audio, some are fancy looking… others really plain and simple.  In the end, it doesn’t matter what a landing page looks like… as long as it converts visitors to leads for your business. Without cash buyer leads you can’t sell your houses.  Without selling (or wholesaling) your houses… you can’t cash checks. Without cashing checks… well… you can’t eat.  Not fun. Lead Pages (or as people call them, real estate investing landing pages or squeeze pages) have one goal and one goal only:  To provide (solutions) value in exchange for a website visitor’s contact information so you can follow up with them.  A good squeeze page doesn’t have a bunch of links, not a lot of options, etc. The Anatomy of A Landing Page I’m not going to spend a ton of time on laying out the anatomy of a real estate investing landing page because they’re really pretty simple.  But first, a few questions you probably are thinking right now: Is there a specific design that always works the best? How can we tell if a landing page is really working well? What do I use to build my own real estate lead pages? First, NOPE, there isn’t a specific design that always works the best.  What works really well for your real estate investing business and your market may not work as well as another design (or message) on another real estate investor’s website.  But, there are elements that usually work well. A clear and concise headline at the top of the page A short description of what they’re about to get in exchange for their email address A few bullet points listing out benefits of what they’ll get when they “opt-in” An opt-in (a box where people can put their information in and submit it to you) Really, those are the only elements that are extremely important and pretty much are needed on any landing page.  Yes, you can use pictures and videos… but definitely test the video versus just the text with no video… because you’d be surprised that often the one with just the text (no video, unless the video is killer) usually works better. Which is good news for you. Here are some real estate investing landing page examples below that have worked pretty darn well. (NOTE: All content on the example lead pages below is copywrited and cannot be used without permission. They’re for reference only so you can see the structure and look/feel of solid landing pages for the real estate market) Example 1: Very simple page, lots of whitespace … Continued

REItheme – Here we are!

By

It’s been 2 years in the making… over 350 beta tester real estate investors later… and we’re officially releasing REItheme real estate investor websites to the whole world (at least… the whole real estate investor world ;-).   The Story The story of how we came to be over the last 2 years is really pretty simple.  We ourselves are real estate investors and own rental properties still today.  In addition, we’ve worked with thousands of real estate investors around the country through our free tools and content at our sister site thereibrain.com.  Through working with our subscribers and students there was one common need that they all voiced… “I need a simple but effective website to use. Do you have a recommendation?” We got that question over and over… so in 2010 we decided to create the first version of the REItheme sites just for those initial members.  That group was our “beta” group which is over 350 members strong now. Giving us feedback, testing the sites, using them for their own real estate investing businesses… the whole shibang. Then, finally… after enough procrastinating and delaying (because we’ve been so darn busy growing our other companies)… we decided to finish out REItheme so the entire real estate investor community can have access to the website system we’ve developed over the last 2 years. Why We’re Different The real estate investor website market has been a pretty stale market over the past 5 years. No real innovations, no one really deciding to take the leadership role in the market, and no one really focusing on what is best for the customer for running their real estate investor websites. Above all… here are the main reasons why we’re excited about REItheme (and so are our customers): Customization:  No two real estate investing businesses are the same, so why should you use the exact same website as 1,000+ other investors?  That’s not the recipe for success in any business. You have to differentiate your company from the rest.  With REItheme we’ve worked hard to make it so you can easily customize virtually every aspect of your website.  From the branding, colors, and look/feel of your website… to the content… lead capture forms… properties… and more.  You can put your own personal touch on your real estate investor website so it’s not like thousands of others… and you take control over every aspect of your website and no longer have to rely on a web guy or someone else to update your content for you. Stellar Member Experiences:  Over the past several years our team has built multiple successful companies, combined reaching into the 7 figures… and a huge thing we’ve learned is that the better we’re able to create great customer experiences… the more our customers love us… and the more people flock to our services.  So, we’re not just about amassing as many customers as we can… we’re about making using REItheme the best possible experience for you… from the signup to using your website day in and day out. Leveraging Social Media and the Search Engines:  A HUGE drawback of most other real estate investor website templates on the market is that they look like they were built in 1987 and haven’t been built with the new technologies in mind.  We’ve been able to generate over 30,000 real estate related leads directly from the search engines by ranking our pages and sites high for competitive search terms.  Most website systems today in the real estate investor world never crack the top few pages of search results mainly because they weren’t … Continued
