Starting out in wholesaling

[Jerod Ellis]

What’s the most successful way to obtain leads outside of driving for dollars, and cold calling ? I need more successful ways to scale my business so I can leave my 9-5!!

Cold calling and knocking on doors are two methods which are not really scalable/ viable for a long term bussiness. If you really want to wholesale then either create a strong web presence using investor carrot/lead propellor. You are going to have to either pay for professional SEO, or if you understand SEO you can just do it yourself. PPC is also a great way to go. Direct mail marketing campaigns are also by and large seen as the number one way to generate leads. Although I can't imagine that proper use of SEO/PPC is too far behind in terms of lead generation.  

Mr Mahmoud nailed it.... except for that last comment that SEO is behind on DMM...

The ignorant business owner will do what is popular to generate leads. The smart business owner will research what the best lead generation method is and then go after that! SEO is by FAR the best lead gen tactic.

When ever I write something or claim something I always provide proof/numbers/graphs/equations, so there is no room for argument or dispute.

If you are asking for BETTER ways to get leads, it is a website that ranks #1 with an insane credibility score. 

I pay $0 for these leads, and a lot of these leads are almost desperate.

There TRULY is no better way to get leads.

As mister M denoted, you have to be really good at SEO, though. SEO is the key.

The problem is that many (most? all? ) so called "professionals", really suck! I have yet to encounter a "professional" that really knows how to do SEO, and this included the big companies.

And it is not surprising really. No SEO company will discriminate who they will help. If there are 2 clients in Houston for example, how can that possibly work? Only one person can rank #1 and thus one of the two is then throwing money away.

I have a crazy amazing SEO guide I developed myself that keeps me ranking #1 always strongly. I can send it to you if you ask really nicely and tell everyone how handsome I am!

This is what happens when you do SEO right. 

And that my friend is the BEST way to get amazing leads.. for free...(if you do SEO yourself like I do)

BE the Ape!
