What's the best marketing channel?  Every real estate investor wants to use the best marketing channels. They want to close as many deals as possible while spending the least amount on ads.  Many of the channels get a bunch of hype, but they might not be the best fit for you.  Here's the bad news:  There is no perfect marketing strategy. And each channel comes with trade-offs. For example, Facebook Ads generate a boatload of leads but not many sales. Whereas Google Ads generate a ton of deals, but not many leads.  That's why I put together the REI Lead Gen Strategy Matrix. It helps you identify which channels are the most profitable for your unique business so you don't blow your budget on ads that don't move you toward your goals.  Listen to the episode now before you spend another penny on marketing.  Show highlights include: The 2x2 Grid that reveals your most profitable lead gen strategies in an instant (2:12)  Why Facebook Ads drown you in leads but not new deals (5:25)  How SEO crushes Facebook Ads with the close percentage of your leads (9:02)  The “Google Ads” trick for closing 1 out of every 12 people who visit your site (10:01)  The counterintuitive way to close more deals by getting less leads (11:51)  Need help with your online marketing?

Have you ever been ripped off by a so-called marketing expert that promised you X, Y, and Z but gave you nothing?  Cunning self-proclaimed “experts” dupe many real estate investors into investing their hard-earned capital into their services. These tricksters promise innocent investors the world, but deliver nothing. Why does this happen?  More often than not, “experts” cloak their incompetence with certainty. It happens in all industries — especially complex ones like marketing.  Here's the truth:  The top experts in any field are never certain. The more you dig into a certain subject, the less confident you become. Knowing this little counterintuitive truth can protect your wallet from greedy, new age robber barons.  In this episode, you'll discover why the least certain experts are the most competent. And how knowing this protects your wealth and boosts your marketing performance.  Listen to the episode now before you get fooled again. Show highlights include: Why complete ignorance around a subject like crypto helps you make more informed (and profitable) decisions (3:49)  How blind allegiance to an expert in any industry can sabotage your investments (6:00)  The counterintuitive reason following the least confident experts in an industry makes your pockets fatter than trusting the most confident ones (6:52)  The insidious way marketing experts disguise their incompetence as certainty (and ransack your business) (9:56)  The “It Depends” selection filter which prevents self-proclaimed experts from robbing you blind (10:04)  Need help with your online marketing?
