EP 233: What I Wish I Would’ve Done Differently in 15 Years of Wholesaling and Flipping – The Good, Bad, and the Ugly of Investing w/ Edward Beck

What I like so much about Edward Beck is that he is the kind of guy who tells it like it is. There are so many gurus out there telling people how to get rich quick while they pose in front of cars that aren’t even theirs. Edward despises this side of the industry, and just like we’re doing at Carrot, Edward is determined to change the way real estate investors are perceived. By leading with his heart and having a true intent to help people, success will inevitably follow.

How to Generate Real Estate Buyer Leads for $2 By Advertising Your Listing On Facebook

Video Transcript Hey, this is JT with Silver Street Marketing, and, we will be going over how to generate real estate buyer leads and seller leads from advertising your listing on Facebook. We’re going to be going through how to do that, the conversion-based strategy, and to just give you an overview. For today’s example, we’re going to use Carrot to set up the landing page, as well as setting up a Facebook campaign and creating the actual ad. Always remember there is nothing wrong with exploring your options, but the most important thing is to be consistent. The reason why I say this is because there are so many ways to advertise your listing online. You’re going to hear all these different strategies, and this one, in particular, is one that I’ve used to manage for my clients and I’ve seen amazing results out of. Just only a few days of marketing a listing at $5 a day for one of my clients and we came in with 24 leads at $2 apiece. All for one listing that they had obtained. This is what I’m going to be teaching you guys today because I think there is a lot of value in getting actual emails, phone numbers, and names of people who are looking at buying a new home. Now, a lot of those will have an existing home, especially depending on the price range of home that you’re advertising that they need to sell. Being focused on providing value is going to help us as we try to convert these leads. There’s going to be other ways to do this, obviously, but this is the way that I’ve seen success, and it’s a lead-based strategy so we can actually get some phone numbers, and emails, and names that we could be contacting and setting up follow-up processes for so that we can have people coming through our pipeline. Create a Strategy to Generate Real Estate Buyer Leads and Seller Leads The first thing that we need to talk about is creating our strategy. First off, to lay down the kind of base layer so we know in what way that we’re moving, is first, we always need to be focused on bringing value. In this case, the value that we’re bringing is information on this property. We’re thinking about all the things that somebody who’s looking at buying a new home or interested in selling their house and getting another one in the market because the rates are low, or for whatever reason that they’re going through at that moment. We need to be able to bring value to that situation, and that doesn’t only apply to our ad. This applies to every little piece of follow-up, any engagement with this person, whether it’s through our digital marketing, through our physical talking, or any other piece of follow-up that we send them, we need to bring value. By doing that, you’re going to be able to really become the agent that works with this person. Number two, there must be a clear path to conversion. We need to make sure we have a website or a lead form in place that’s very simple and easy, is a very straightforward way to collect and disperse information so that we have everything set up correctly and we make sure that we are providing that value that we’ve been talking about that we’re going to be using in our ad. Then lastly, success is always in the follow-up. Do not give up on these leads because they don’t respond to your … Continued
