Subject2.com Review, Worth Your Money? Prt 1

Hi All.

That's right, a review on the unreleased book of subject 2's, by our very own Nick Johnson here on BP. I was able to get my hands on a "leaked" copy of the book. (Had to pay a pretty $penny$ for it though.)

Many of you might know him and/or have used his useful and helpful tips, posts and blogs, which he so graciously provides here on BP, to your advantage. Most of you know that he is very knowledgable and very creative in what he does. But what we all want to know is can he write a friggin book that's worth a darn?!

Well, hopefully I will be able to shed some light on that matter.

At this point and time I am going to attempt to write this review in 3 parts. It may change in the future but the goal is 3.

Let's Begin...

I'm only up to page 60 so I will be reviewing up to there today, hence the 3 part saga.

Let me begin by saying that the format of this book is great! You get approximately 430 words per page (in word) which means that he didn't blow his font up to reach 166 pages in his book. Which means his book isn't full of air.

First off his book begins with an interesting story about Nick and where he comes from. I took this as inspirational material that no matter who you are or where you come from this can work for you too. When you read where Nick came from and the hurdles he had to jump in his journey you will see that anyone that truly has the desire to better themselves, their family and there future can and will.

Ok, so basically chapter 1 talks about what subject 2 is and what it is not. No surprise there. If you have no idea what subject 2 is then it is great informationm if you've subject to'd before then you will not need this section. It does give a really good rebuttal to homeowners, when they ask you if this is even legal, though.

Chapter 2 talks about having a business plan. He personally recommends software, to you, that he has used to create his own business plan. Actually I think that all the affiliates he recommends to you throughout the book he personally uses in his own success day in and day out. The 3 most important parts of the business plan are, business summary, economic model and your marketing plan, don't know what those are? That's ok Nick show you.

Now... Chapter 3 and 4 are where I really started to get excited. Why? Because this is where you get to see Nick's "Marketing Genius" come out! Ch.3 is all about finding buyers!!! Yesssssssssss... those are the people that give us our checks to CASH! He addresses finding them in some fantastic ways. Ways that, unless you've talked with him personally, you've probably never even thought of! I know that I hadn't. Get this... he talks about having lists! Not just a buyer's list but lists! That's Plural! I didn't even think about what I was reading until he put the ideas in my head. I can't even keep the light bulbs lit up in my head because there are so many going off at once! It's amazing! So not only does he give you ideas but he stimulates you to discover your own ideas. At least for me I felt like I was a kid in a candy store.

Ok Ch.4 here we go again! This chapter is on marketing to your buyer's. And some of the ideas that he gave me in his book are pure genius again, in my opinion. But maybe that's cause I'm not a marketing "guru" oops I used the G word. I would share some of them with you but I said I wouldn't disclose any detail. Ok, I'll tell you one... DON'T TELL NICK!!!! Youtube.com!!! It's awesome!!! Ya, youtube.com! I can see you thinking, "youtube.com? What the hey are we going to do with youtube.com?" It's cool trust me. You will have to get the book to read what you will do with it but it will definately set you apart from everyone else.

Ch. 5 is about marketing your business. He talks about various inexpensive, yet very effective, ways to market your business.

So this is as far as I have gotten and without touching on actually doing any subject to deals or talking to sellers I would say that if you're a newb like, no doubt you've figured out by now, I am then the first 5 chapters alone are worth the price of the book. If you are a vet but just aren't having the success with marketing either your properties or finding enough solid buyer's then this book is for you and if you are a savvy investor who knows his stuff... well... we all know that you can't ever "know it all" and this book would make a great addition to your knowledge and you might even increase your sales as well.

Man... I just re-read this blog and I sound like a cheerleader. That's ok though I'm just letting my excitement out. I'm so excited that I'm going to put my two weeks in at my J O B and take the plunge into REI. (Don't worry I have one of those really cool wife's who has a good enough job to do something this crazy! She's Totally Awesome!! Just to quote Rhino from the movie BOLT for all you out there who have kids.) Subscribe to my blog so you can follow my progress over the next year to see how things go. Oh ye and to get the other two parts to this review!

If your as excited as I am about Nick's book make sure you PM him and harass him about getting his website up so that you can get your very own copy!!

Oh... I almost forgot! BOOTLEG COPIES ARE FOR SALE THE NEXT 48 HRS!! GET YOURS AT THE LOW LOW RATE OF $5000 DOLLARS A PIECE!!
