1 Year Later, No Deals --- Help!

[Loretta A. Steele]

I am new to the investing world. I’m been working as a bird dog. My problem … I haven’t gotten any deals in the year that I been doing this. I need help in understanding what I’m doing wrong.

I have tried;
1) A series of letters, sent every 2 weeks to pre-foreclosure homeowners
2) Postcards and flyers placed on community bulletin boards
3) Drive by and note homes that look vacant and due research on owners, then tried calling
4) Let everyone know that I’m in business
5) Working on a website to market my bird dog service

What am I missing? After a year of doing this, I though I would have gotten something. I’m not ready to give up. I see others on the forum making deals, I believe I can also. I need some guidance, please advise. Thanks in advance.
