LOLI need to monetize my participation somehow, LOL, I'm behind you.....now that's not right :)Bill - How do we know he wouldn't be doing better if it weren't for your contributions?  

I'm using Chris chicos absentee owner postcard and yellow letters and results are good..I'm not saying there are not motivated sellers, I was just wondering if anyone follows up with the crappy leads because I would hate to be leaving money on the table or wasting money on mailing..it would be nice to monetize every lead if possible.

Would you rule out listings entirely from your tool belt if you were able to monetize more leads that way? 

However, going through lean time in the past, I learned how to monetize leads that don't make sense for me by referring them to the folks that thrive on such things.I do not like Short Sales, Lease Options, Wraps or sub tos....anything with that much time and paperwork makes me cringe.

The response rate for Post Cards in my area is abysmal which of course translates into fewer deals.What I did to offset the cost of the letters was learn how to monetize more of the leads, either through referral or follow up.

BP could line up a speaker or have a main topic where Pro members could flesh out ideas and bounce ideas off of each other.As a group we could probably come up with some powerful ideas that BP could then leverage or monetize (ebook, podcast, white papers, how to books...)I would be more then willing to share online marketing ideas with the Pro members and I'm with Michael on the increase in cost for Pros.

By the end of month 5, I would expect to see a minimum of one deal done and 3 other leads monetized in some sort of way. 

Once you have a deal, just copy/paste their disposition system to monetize the deal and get paid.I made my initial investment back and now know how to buy houses with no money out of pocket.It works if you take consistent action, commit to constant improvement, and bring your situational questions to the daily coaching calls.

Learning at the front end equips you with a toolbox of skills and abilities to monetize more opportunities that may otherwise pass you by.
