But from the web site explaining what you'll get in his book, all of the points there were not rocket science.

Most every morning I spend hours online, three to five different web sites, in search of property and/or ways to make a decent cashflow in the real estate business.

I, of course, read Rich Dad, Poor Dad as well as a few other real estate and personal finance related books and soon after I found Bigger Pockets while browsing the web for RE information!

Cold calling/call centers/ paid leads was something we did a lot of and it worked well enough as one lead source among many, but we found in order to scale efficiently past a certain level it was important to focus more on generating inbound leads as much as possible which we did through consistently asking for referrals, brand building, web presence/ SEO/ content, email marketing, advertising both online and off, media coverage, social media, events/shows/speaking engagements, traditional/ offline networking, direct mail, etc.

Many wholesalers now are just doing robo calling and trying to get folks on the phone I get one to two of those a day.. most I don't talk to some times I will .. many of these are using off shore call centers so semi broken English reading form a script.. but they produce leads.. its just like buying a car.. the sales guy ( telemarketer) then hands you off to the closer.. then you have the I buyers backed by wads of VC money big advertising budgets and super sophisticated web sites that spit out automated offers.. the business is changing no doubt.. and there is no doubt like Will Bernard stated its probably the toughest thing in real estate to master ergo 9 out of 10 never get past first base.. 

I have held the same job (web design) for a company that hosts "advisor" accounts (I have nothing to do with what they do, I simply create pages for them for a fee) which I have worked at since 2005! 

She did however pull my property from the "big circus" auction at the convention center For reference, the "starting price" was nowhere close to what I bid - my bid was a LOT higher, and my bids started low and were rejected a couple of times in the mini "web" pre-auctions.

In addition to investing, I am also a software/web developer, and I have some experience in direct mail and internet marketing.Im looking forward to contributing to this forum, and learning new things from other members.
