How to Create Screen Capture Videos for Your REI Biz (Part 3)

17 Comments »

Alrighty, the series on using video in your real estate investing business continues …

If you’re new to it, here are the links to the first two posts:

Part 1 – Are You Using This Killer REI Marketing Tool?

Part 2 - Flip Video Tips for Real Estate Investors

Today, you’re about to learn how to use screen capture videos to get leads flowing into your biz and how you can get them done without spending a dime.

Don’t have a video camera? Can’t afford one right now?

No problemo.

You can be up and running, recording your own screen capture videos in less than 15 minutes (videos exactly like the one below).

Check ‘er out …

(if reading in email subscription, click here to watch the video)

Action Summary

1) Download Firefox

Firefox is a web browser like Internet Explorer. The reason that you need to download Firefox is because the free screen capture video tool is an add-on to Firefox.

If, for whatever reason, you don’t want to download Firefox, a great program that tons of people use is Camtasia. It costs some moolah but is a great program. They have a free 30 day trial you can download. So, you can use it free for a month if nothing else.

2) Download the Capture Fox Add-On

This tool is super easy to use (one of the main reasons I love it!). But, there’s not much functionality.

I’m ok with that though.

3) Shoot Your First REI Screen Capture Video

Once you’re done, post it online. And use the tips from Part 2 to maximize the reach and effectiveness of your videos.

This concludes our series on video marketing in your REI biz.

May your REI videos bring you many leads.

Hope you enjoyed :-)

Are You Using Bandit Signs to Generate Motivated Seller Leads?

1 Comment »

Bandit signs could be a great way to get your phone ringing off the hook with motivated sellers. It was for me when I got started investing in real estate.

My mentor taught me early on that one of the most important parts of being a real estate investor was to get sellers contacting you to sell you their property.

So, I knew the next step was to put together a marketing plan.

Here’s what it looked like:

1) Get business cards made

2) Join local real estate investment association

3) Place “We Buy Houses” ad in local newspaper

4) Buy “We Buy Houses” bandit signs

5) Knock on doors of people facing foreclosure

We thought bandit signs were a good choice because they were relatively inexpensive and there didn’t seem to be too many other investors using them.

With my students, I typically recommend at least testing bandit signs when getting started. The barrier to entry is pretty low, like I just mentioned, and with any form of marketing, it’s all about testing. Even if there are tons of investors using them in your area, you may still want to test them.

I thought I would share some examples of bandit signs and tell you my thoughts on them . . .
