Looking for the best combination of marketing for my first wholesaling campaign

[Matthew Skinner]

Hi everyone,

As you can see I am pretty new.

I am learning about wholesaling, networking, building a website, etc. here in Lynchburg VA. I have been listening to all of the podcasts and I have learned the following things greatly increase your chances of finding deals and seeing them to the end.

• 1. Have a plan and make goals.

• 2. Read everything you can on Bigger Pockets.

• 3. Have good marketing.

• 4. Hire people that are good at… good marketing.

• 5. If its worth doing, its worth doing right.

• 6. Have good marketing.

Basically I have a few grand to get started right and I want to make sure I use those funds as efficiently as possible.

I would like to do direct mail, craigslist ads, adwords, etc.

I am going to set up google voice to receive calls and have prospective sellers leave a message, as my intent will be to have a feel for the property before we have our first conversation.

I have learned to scale your marketing to what you can actually handle. So I am not planning on blasting out and getting way more calls than I can handle and lose potential deals.

I am going to hire someone to help me with the marketing I mentioned who knows what they are doing.

My question is, what do you guys suggest as a good first marketing campaign? Should I just start by using one method? Or should I do some of each?

I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew and waste money.

Any advice on this matter will be much appreciated!
