1.Are the wannabe online marketer than buys self help and business building materials and keeps them safely hidden away on your hard drive?
2.Are you the type that uses the information and becomes financially independent?
All of the information and help are right in front of you to build a solid online business. Unfortunately many people start their business but never succeed. The only reason they don't succeed is because they don't follow through.
Make up your mind right now you will put in the time necessary and develop a monthly action plan. Once your plan is set up, work it. Here are ten things that should be in your action plan.
1.Start your keyword search for your market niche. You may have to go back and review this step; if so, get started. You need to have a minimum of ten keywords optimized on your site.
2.Start rewriting your website content for search engine optimization. This is a process that you will do often. This is not a task you will do only once and forget about it. Check every page.
3.One of the actions you should take every month is to check your competitors. Visit their websites and see what they are doing right. Also use compete and Google trends.
4.Take a serious look at your website design. Are you using the right colors? Can your buyers navigate easily? You are very familiar with finding information but is everyone? Have someone else review it and get their point of view on the website's design and ease of use.
5.If you're not using video yet, start to learn about it so you can. Take this month and do your research.
6.Review your email campaigns. Learn something new and put that in your email copy. Review the copy every month to see if you can't increase your open rate.
7.Should you offer more discounts or free information with your emails? Analyze each response and broadcast offer for credibility.
8.Is there anything that you can automate? Have you investigated ghost writers for your article writing? Sign up with an article submission service.
9.Set up a blog at one of the social sites like Squidoo, Twitter, Blogger, etc.
10.Find one new product to sell. The product list is endless.
These are only some of the things that you can do each month. The important thing is for you to write out an action plan at the beginning of every month. What do you want to accomplish? Write it down and then do it.
There is only one difference between the people that succeed in this business and the ones that don't. That difference is the winners take action and the wannabes don't. The money is right there in your keyboard and mouse. Are you going to dig it out? The choice is totally up to you.
Good luck and get to work.
As a bird-dog we are most concerned with the steps in your Real Estate Investor Strategic Action Plan, which at this point are relatively simple:
• Learn as much you can • Find your Real Estate Investors • Determine the number of leads you will pursue • Generate the leads from a variety of sources • Submit leads to your Investors weekly • Follow up with Investors and get results
An action plan requires that you take action. Real Estate Investors won't come to you for leads. Don't wait, put your plan together and act on it. Get started immediately, you can always make changes and adjustments as you carry it out and discover what works best for you.
As a bird-dog you need to establish How Many Leads You Can Generate in a Month. This is a good question. The answer of course is up to you. How much time and effort can you invest into your business?
For the first month as a bird-dog Real Estate Investor set a goal of generating 200 leads which is only an average of 50 per week. This is realistic and will get your feet wet, as you explore the various ways to find leads and learn the process.
As you fine-tune your lead sources the number of leads will drop, but your referral fees will increase. This is the result of concentrating on the sources and Real Estate Investors that are most productive. We will cover this later.
As a more experienced bird-dog you can goal to obtain between 300 and 500 leads per month. These are just some general guidelines, but you may be able to find even more!
Break your target number down to a weekly basis, 75-125 leads per week. This may seem like a high number, but it is perfectly achievable, if you are willing to work at it.
It is essential that you put your Bird-dog Real Estate Goals in writing. Furthermore, it is just as critical that you review them often. One of the best ways to make this a habit is to review your written goals each night before you go to bed and each morning before you start your day. This is a great way for all Real Estate Investors to remain focused!
