I'm hearing so much about direct mail, SEO, PPC and other Internet marketing techniques.

To get people calling you: Blogging, PPC, SEO, are by far the most effective for me.In general: Coldcalling, mailers, door knocking, and networking.

I have multiple opinions for JLL's best brokers and Colliers about wha to do but its all over the board about getting in now or waiting.I think the market for a small guy like me is to find ( some state) and look for class C or B properties under rented and use new technology to get it more operational and leased up + strong SEO marketing to drive traffic.  

(worth the $30 a month just for this - re: SEO)#2 benefit is posting to the marketplace forum#3 is being able to read the pro forum

Similar to SEO you have to come up with an online strategy towards it.

I only build Wordpress sites due to the level of customizability as well as the SEO benefit (and the plugins).

I'm considering bandit signs where it is legal to do so and then some SEO online bars marketing.

Hi Taylor,I may be a little bias in this regard since I started off as a freelancer and then to an in-house SEO position for a company (not an agency)- but, I don't care much for agencies and don't recommend any.

If you have a good website with solid SEO, and tie in some FB and GoogleAds, it can set you apart if everyone else is doing DM. 

You can use a template builder like LeadPropeller for a pretty affordable monthly fee (like $50), but it does you no good really unless you are also using a PPC and/or SEO campaign to drive traffic to it.
