Using google adwords to target them.

Here is what I suggest:1) Make a simple one-page app that is mobile scalable at  squarespace.com.2) For content, add your info, and make sure your phone, email, and intentions (ie I buy houses, I want to help with...) is clear and bold.3) Launch site, apply your domain name, buy some  Google Adwords and get to work.I would guess that if you spend any more time or effort than that on the actual site, you are likely wasting your time and keeping yourself from actually doing the legwork of this business.Sorry for all the opinion, but the website project is one that many new investors use to waste time and force more analysis paralysis.

., "email blasts," Google Adwords, print media or open houses?

You can buy leads from Zillow, etc, or you can create your own through Adwords, Facebook, and places like Bigger Pockets.  

The company is web based, and uses some proprietary method of SEO and google ad-words to find and identify motivated buyers.  

Yeah so I'm in this now, just started marketing aggressively via Adwords, 50 Bandits & 6 new CL Image ads today...  

I haven't gotten any real leads on my campaigns up until this point.I'm obviously going to increase my budget for marketing - I guess part of my question is should I continue to focus on my market or should I look elsewhere and also should I just concentrate on direct mail or consider PPC/ADWORDS

We mail to a combination of lists (absentee owner, inherited, probate, divorce, bankruptcy, eviction, and NOD) and fulfill the mailings totally in-house.Pay-per-click:  I started a couple of Google AdWords campaigns about a month ago. 

I am at a point where I can increase my marketing budget by about $1,000/mo.I can either begin another direct mail campaign to a new type of list (OOS Absentee, etc) or put the money towards a far more agressive Google AdWords campaign than my current one.Based on your experiences, where do you see bigger lifts?

These families may be doing their research online allowing you to target them very precisely with Facebook and google ad words marketing.
