@Paul Bowers  Great question!

Just like Carrot, our sites are setup with SEO and Conversions in mind.  The way the websites convert is very important.  As active investors ourselves, we've spent years personally working with motivated sellers.  We know how they think and what they're looking for.  We know how important it is to make contact as quickly as possible, especially on the internet.  You don't want your website visitor hitting the back button and going to the next website.   This is why we incorporated SMS notifications so that you know immediately when your website form has been submitted.

We have built in tools to make it super simple to get your site up and running. You can get your domain and emails through us during signup. The content is ready to go. All you have to do is choose a template and fill out a little information that get's populated throughout your website. We also have a simple website editor so you can make changes yourself. If you'd like custom work done, we offer that as well. 

We also have in-house services for additional SEO, Facebook marketing, and Google Ads.   

So, we both offer search engine optimized/high converting websites.  How we are different is that we are active investors that use our own product.  We also provide have the paid traffic services in house.  My brother-in-law actually runs that department.  He manages our accounts and those of some of the top investors in the country.

As far as weaknesses go, I'd say we haven't been as active in marketing everything we do at LeadPropeller.  More people have heard about what Carrot does. 

Glad to hear it, @Brian Orr!  Let us know if you need anything at all.  

Ok.  So we found out what had happened.  Apparently, there was an issue with being logged into the payment portal rather than the backend of your LeadPropeller account and therefore could not access the appropriate menus.  The support team is attempting to get in touch with you to see if there is anything else we can help with.  Sorry for the inconvenience that caused.   

Hey Doug!  

If you click on your BiggerPockets profile dropdown at the top left and select 'Member Perks', you'll find it on the second page (midway down).

Great to see you've decided to join LeadPropeller!

Hello, Brian.  I'm the founder of LeadPropeller.  I want to apologize for the experience you're having.  As soon as I saw this message, I let the support team know to reach out to you.  We'll get this resolved right away.  

Hello, @Chris Harvey.  I'm the founder and CEO of LeadPropeller.  You might be expecting me to say that you definitely should get it...but I'm not going to.  

Here's why:

Melissa and I had a limited budget for a long time during our start in this business.  We did what we could with our time because we had a little more of that than we had money.  We focused on guerrilla marketing tactics like:

• putting up bandit signs - signs that you nail to utility poles (please check with your city because you may have to get a permit for these or not be able to use them at all if illegal where you are)
• driving for dollars - driving neighborhoods looking for vacant houses, researching who the owner is on the county tax assessor's website, and mailing them a posting asking if they'd like to sell the house
• flyers - We'd even print out flyers that said "WE BUY HOUSE" really big with pull off tabs at the bottom with our name and phone number.  We'd post these at laundromats in the areas we wanted to buy in

Be willing to do what others are not.

These methods generated our deals as we built momentum and built a war chest of marketing money to expand into billboards, website, etc.  

Websites are great as a long term strategy as it takes time to rank your website (usually about 10 to 12 months in a typical city).  If you have the money to spend, you can generate leads quickly with Google Ads and Facebook Ads.  

Of course, we absolutely love what our website does for our business but we understand it takes time/money to get the most out of them.  If you're on a limited budget, it's not what I'd start with.

Makes plans to incorporate one as soon as you have steady lead/deal flow into your business. 

@Matthew Bailey We'll take the assist! :)  Never know who will find your website and where they'll be searching from.  We get random leads from all over the US even though we target our website to Texas only.

Thanks, Mindy!  This was an amazing episode.  Seeing @Melissa McRay Johnson get out of her comfort zone and do the podcast was fun.  She didn't really seem nervous at all.  :)

@John Reynolds Justin's course is the only one I recommend.  He's a good friend and truly wants to help people succeed at this business.  

The course goes way beyond the basics.  The course material is amazing but the Facebook group and community behind it are really what make it stand out.  Yes, the course does get into team building and systemization as well.   

As to the cost, that's really dependent on what you do with the material.  The content is super valuable, but that value isn't realized (for any training for that matter), until the student takes action and makes use of it.   

Full Disclosure: I'm an affiliate but I'm not including a link because I promote this course when I get paid for it or not.  :)

Hello, @Account Closed.

I'm the founder of Freedom Driven LLC, which created REImobile. Feel free to ask any questions about the system. We are currently preparing to launch our replacement system, called FlipPilot in the next couple of months. I'd recommend waiting for that system as it's going to be far superior.
