Gaining Investors through Website

[Mickayla Smith]

Does anybody have any experience with setting up a website and accepting investments through that website? Example: an individual visits the website, reads about our investment company and the real estate projects that are needing investors to be completed, that individual clicks on it, selects/enters amount wanting to invest and they enter their card number in. 

Is this a smart way to get investors involved in projects if say they aren't able to attend an in person informational meeting? I'm looking for multiple ways to get people involved and this popped into my head. 

All feedback is welcome!

I doubt if you would get any investors this way. It's like trying to ask someone to marry you on the first date. Most large investments or purchases require a phone call to get them to part with their money. People invest in people, not projects. What you need to do is build a funnel to attract people using some sort of lead magnet that would then allow you to invite someone to book a conversation with you. This is online marketing 101. Also, web sites don't typically convert. What you also need to do is set-up a landing page. 

I'm not sure about the crowdfunding angle but it would require something like a memorandum offering and approved by the securities commission and there are lots of rules around this.
