are you open to terms? You say "wholesale price"? What is your estimated ARV?

 Yep. Again, that is just one of my dozens of sites. And that one does not even have a blog or content for ranking so google has nothing to pick up. That is just for lead generation. Google needs content (mostly text) to index. And yet again, I'm not trying to rank that site for organic traffic. Hope that makes sense but tou should probably add me on skype or something if you want to talk about MY business as to not hijack his thread

 Sure. Let me clear up a few things no problem

1. Those were hypothetical examples. I just threw out $10 for numbers sake. Yes I am spending more than $10 a month on advertising. That really isn't much of an investment at all

2. I don't have a $97 consulting package. Must have just skimmed whatever video you saw.

3. I have been a full time investor and online marketer for nearly a decade now and over the years have created many many different online revenue streams. So different ads go to different sites in many different mediums. My main projects are in personal development, self-help and life improvement. But the sites I advertise (or help clients setup and make profitable) range from parenting blogs to e-commerce electronics.

But I wasn't going to go into all of those details here because the primary focus is real estate. Was just trying to say that over the years I have experience ALL of the google "slaps" of penguin and panda updates and have probably tried every single SEO ranking strategy known to man only to finally realize it is almost nearly wasted effort. Not scalable. Not trackable and you have zero control over your traffic. It is purely "try this. cross your fingers and hope" strategy. Once I gave up relying on google and SEO completely... EVERYTHING took off.

And by default, because of all the targeted traffic I was sending and natural social shares and low bounce rate, my sites started ranking by default anyway. Without any backlinking or keywork stuffing or any of that crap people teach.   Hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Bottom line about project wonderful is if you have a well written page/offer that is highly desirable (great copy), matched with a strategic bidding strategy, you should just about ALWAYS make more than you spend on a site like project wonderful... or any other similar site where you can get very "low cost" traffic on demand

So. Summary to the original OP and Your questions of viability I was simply saying: Try paid traffic or linkbuilding with the hopes of maybe it will rank in google

Can be google adwords. Can be facebook ads. Can be Bing Ads. Can be project wonderful. Adroll. Twitter ads. Infolinks. Buysellads, LInkedIn.... doesn't matter. What service you use wasn't my point. Only that it is more reliable and you are directly in control of who sees your site and how many people and when

 Depends on what you are sending them to. I have different ads for different businesses.  Of course it helps if you know your target audience. But when it is that cheap It is very low risk for high potential upside. 

Yeah I have so many ads I am always getting new leads. I don't pay attention to conversion rate or how many clicks it takes because when it is costing me about $10 a month for 100,000 views (roughly) it doesnt even matter.

I found it best when you make your ads in tune with the website more than pitching your offer.

For random example just off the top of my head... If  I was trying to sell a house....

Furniture site: that new piece would look much better in your new home

Comic book site: You could have an extra game room to geek out for less than you are paying now

Dating site: chicks dig guys with big....... investments

Gamer site: Your current POV - Walking through the front door of YOUR new house. Don't blow this one up

I try to get peoples attention and educate or entertain more than just constant pitch. Those are just off the top of my head and not that great... but you get the idea. Hope that helps

Do you HAVE to take this job?  Is there another, more enjoyable option? If this were working exactly as you wanted it toto, what would that look like? The perfect scenario?

yep. always

 HA!   you sound a lot like me!  Thank you for the inspiration indeed

 yes. that is what I meant by non disclosure.

Well I can't speak for every city or state. But I have done wholesale deals in Sacramento, CA; Las Vegas, NV, Indiana and different parts of Florida without ever a single incident or even anyone questioning it.  Hope that helps

Holy hell!!!!! I guess I needed that today!  Thank you. Saved this video.  Gave me chills

Any of them. Sure I know I will start another debate where people will spout it legal advice and misleading jargon when I say this but...

You don't need a license to wholesale a property.  If you have a signed contract on a property with the intent to buy, you can sell/assign your rights to the contract. 

And if anyone wants to argue that (which they shouldn't. there are enough threads on here over the topic sending people every which way already), then simply do a double close with transactional funding.

#solved

maybe just stay away from non-disclosure states when you first start out.
