Newb Years Resolution
Hey Guys,
I figure I have been lurking for long enough and might want to chime in and ask for some help.
I want to get started in wholesaling very strongly and have had a number of false starts. I have a website up and running but have been failing at the marketing big time.
I have been an avid reader/researcher but now its time to put up and or shut up so my new years resolution is to start chasing the dream 1/1/2013.
Resolution number 1, no more courses or books!
Resolution number 2 - Take some action!
This leads to the question, in the spirit of Pareto's principle, what 20% of your activities are leading to 80% your results in your markets?
Direct Mail? Yellow letter or form letter?
Web marketing?
Driving for dollars?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Mike

Can't really help you with any other ideas. I'm not a fan of most people's concept of "wholesaling". Any wholesale deals I do involve my own cash to purchase and then I flip to someone else for a profit. I think the idea of going after deals without any money and making a ton of cash is just another late night guru sales gimmick that isn't very practical.
