Lead Propeller Reviews
Hi,
I am a newbie investor looking into generating leads to buy single and multi family properties using Lead Propeller.
I'd love to hear from Lead Propeller site owners who have had their site up for a year or more.
I'm curious to hear:
Once the site was live, how long did it take for leads to come in?
How long until you got your first deal from the site?
How much time you spent to "tweak" the site on a weekly or monthly basis.
Thanks in advance!

Hey @Cesar Tamayo great work getting launched and taking action man!
First off, as far as "how long did it take for leads to come in" and "how long until you got your first deal from the site" I wouldn't be asking it specific to Lead Propeller customers but to real estate investors in general who are using the web to generate leads. That way you get a more broad and accurate picture of the medium as a whole... then you can dive in w/ LP customers to find out their conversion rate, cost per lead, cost per deal, what methods they're using for their lead gen etc.
In the end we've seen people get their first leads leveraging Craigslist and their Carrot site or PPC and their Carrot site within hours after launching... on the SEO side that takes longer. In your market we have Carrot members pulling in leads now but it took months in many cases of working on their SEO to get their site ranked high enough to pull in consistent leads.
So I wouldn't ask what others have done because their markets are likely much different than your market.
I'd dive into the data and work backwards...
- How many people are searching the phrases you want to get in front of that sellers are seaching in your market?
- What are the people who are doing PPC and ranking high in Google doing in their campaigns and how much work / expertise do you have to put in to replace them in Google or squeeze your way in on PPC?
- What is your ability to close a deal? If you're an experienced investor then you'll close more of your online leads into deals than a newer investor just because of the experience factor
- What types of deals are you going after? In some markets some people are fine with a $4k profit. While others won't take less than $15k. So identify your target profit per deal and talk to people who are pulling in deals like that and see what they're doing
In the end, you CAN crush it man with the right plan and a high converting website.
In Reading, PA... if you're following a solid SEO plan you can rank in the top 3 within 4-8 months for highly competitive phrases in that market. If you're doing PPC and have a high converting website (which we've found many LeadPropeller clients coming to Carrot after finding their websites underperformed as far as conversion rate goes) you can have seller leads coming in as soon as today.
Just really depends on your time and money budget and the performance on your website.
I hope I didn't throw too much at you Cesar! Go get 'em man!
