Then itd be on to figuring out the seo and google adwords strategy.

We do this with:1) Google Search (AdWords)2) Direct Mail3) Outdoor (billboards to bandit signs)4) TV spotsSo, you'll need a marketing budget for 6 to 12 months to get started in this business.  

As this is a site for real estate investors, your post would probably best fit in snother forum such as Marketing or Tech.If you want to understand AdWords there is no better teacher than my friend Perry Marshall.

You could put a website together and start marketing that via Google Adwords or Facebook, but that will cost you.Trust the direct mail.

I did do some testing for about 2 months with google adwords and did land a deal thanks to an ad that lead the seller to one of my sites.  

Just wondering if anyone here is rolling with organic search results + adwords as the primary source of lead generation now a days.It seems like carpeting a zip code with specific mailing criteria is becoming less and less effective as more investors jump off the MLS to try and source their own deals.

@Ateba Doughty you can purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.If you have a large enough budget you can do TV and radio as well.You could letter up or wrap your vehicle.

I need software/Companies for the following:Skip-Tracing that will lead to successful cold callsTracking and maximizing efficiency while DFDDesign a Professional RE websiteSet up Google Adwords ads for specific locationsAnd anything to help with Direct Mail (IDK if that is out there)So far, I only know of lead propeller for Google Adwords I believe. 

Also DFD, skiptracing, and getting a website with google ADWords helps leads.
