Making A Squeeze Page -- Experience/Success Rate?

[John A.]

Hello Investors,

After listening to a real estate podcast on iTunes, I plan on making a squeeze page to start getting into online marketing. I'm using the squeeze page to build my cash buyers list so I can increase the number of deals I'm doing monthly. I know there are investors on BP using this method and are completely taking over their market. Where do I go to make a squeeze page, what key info should I put on it, and what is your success rate/ experience? Any advice with this method would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

My experience is that I could have over 1000 cash buyers on my list, and it would not translate into more deals done. When I first got started, I did the whole list thing, and had 1000+ "Buyers" on it. I'd get a deal, do an email "blast".....*sound of crickets chirping*

What worked way better was building relationships with a small hand full of true cash buyers. I'd take them to lunch, pick their brains, find out exactly what they were looking for. Net result is that now when I have a deal, it's usually sold before the ink on the contract is dry. I have 3 guys that buy 98% of what I get and if I come across something they don't want, I use the MLS to track down the cash buyers in the neighborhood. A neat little trick I learned from Ryan Webber.

That said, Squeeze pages do have their place, especially if you're doing deals virtually out of your area. Setting up a squeeze page on WordPress is very easy, and there are plenty of free site builders like weebly that can do the same.

The whole point to my post is that more buyers does not translate into more deals: more motivated sellers turn into more deals. After all, your buyer's list is useless if you have nothing to sell.
