Real Estate Investing is a great niche if you want to make a little extra money on the side.
If your business and/or properties are not online then you could be leaving behind a pile of cash.
The first thing a homeowner does when they want to move is search the Internet for homes to buy.
They usually type in the city, state and type of property they are looking to buy.
An example is: Orlando Florida Beach House For Sale.
If you're an investor looking to sell your Florida Beach House and your houses don't even appear online as an option then you're not even in the running! Below are some of the real estate investing tips that will have you attracting online traffic fast.
1.
List Your Properties On Craigslist: Advertising can be expensive for investors and Craigslist is a free site.
Make sure that you promote your properties on Craigslist due to the high numbers of traffic that search on that site.
2.
Get An Opt In Page: The first thing you need to do in order to get your business online and gathering leads is to get an Opt In Page.
This is basically a website with a form that collects information from interested customers that would like to receive more information from you such as updates, services available, properties for sale or lease, etc.
An Opt-in box usually requires the customer to enter their email, name, phone number, city and state.
The purpose of an opt-in page is to start building a database of interested customers that you can communicate with on a daily basis.
This option will require you to get a hosting account, web site url, and an autoresponder.
A normal website is a branding site and does not collect information.
Branding sites are what most businesses use but this type of site allows customers to get away.
Most people will not contact you from a branding page so if you want to find out the needs of a potential customer than an opt-in page is absolutely necessary.
3.
Learn From Other Real Estate Investors That Market Online Most of the successful real estate investors today use internet marketing as the foundation of their business.
There are teleseminar series and/or webinar events that research and interview the top real estate investors of this day.
These events usually allow you to listen in at no charge.
You can listen in to a 1-2 hour interview weekly and get life changing investing tips.
