Leads??

I'm quite interested, but not if at some point you're going to begin to charge additional fees above and beyond the monthly amounts. If we pay for a county, we get all of the leads that ever come in for the monthly charge, correct?

I would expect Google adword advertising as part of the package, like the other sites do, and would be quick to cancel the monthly service if in a few months I had to pay additionally "per lead". Am I misunderstanding something?

This would be a purely elective program, you would never be obligated to pay more than your monthly and your monthly will never go up more than 5% a year.

If we pay for a county, we get all of the leads that ever come in for the monthly charge, correct?

Yes correct, again this is your exclusive county and we encourage you to take ownership of "CashHomeBuyers.com" think of it like a very low obligation franchise.

I would expect Google adword advertising as part of the package, like the other sites do, and would be quick to cancel the monthly service if in a few months I had to pay additionally "per lead". Am I misunderstanding something?

Yes, you are misunderstanding, but it is a common one and I have a difficult time explaining what we are trying to accomplish because everyone else is used to the same pitch that everyone else is selling.

It goes something like this, Pay me $3000 to get started and then $500 a month and i will get you so many leads you will need a spreadsheet to keep attract of all l of the houses you are going to buy. But what really happens is that the affiliates never last and the owner is just looking for the next seminar grad to pay him $3000 to start the process, meanwhile he will spend half or less than half of the $500 on the google adwords. So the experienced investors that stay will never promote this site and will eventually figure out they can use their marketing money wiser elsewhere or can do google adwords for themselves and save a bunch of money.

I wanted to do something different, because i want something for the long term and i want customer loyalty, because selling websites is not my favorite pastime. CashHomeBuyers.com charges a fraction of what everyone else charges so that you have complete control over your marketing budget, and if you want to spend money on adwords for you business, the you can, and i do for Charlotte.

Meanwhile i am investing large amounts of money on getting the site up in the rankings and so that in the long run, everyone will get a tremendous return on their monthly fees. We do extremely well on localized searches and are climbing the more general ranks every day, but it is a slow and steady process. I will get the site to the top, search the phrases that have to do with motivated sellers and you will find that CashHomeBuyers.com is in the top 10 for just about all of them, this is not by accident as I needed affiliates first.

As far as the additional cost for leads, this would be completely separate and is only if you want us to manage your pay-per-click campaign, in which case we would have to track those leads specifically , which is where most of the challenge stems from and why i don't offer it now.

Let me know if you need me to explain something better.

thanks
Scott

Your quote: Company names are different from a website name although it is more effective if they are the same. In order to get the most out of the program, you will need to market the name yourself as this is not a strictly a lead generating site, this is meant to be your home buying website to market to motivated sellers.

Question: If an affiliate is using your company name instead of their own LLC or S-Corp name, etc., other than for our leads and marketing, etc., then aren't you liable for anyone's wrong doing? I just feel like we would need our own co. and it be "affiliated" with Cash Home Buyers. Or am I seeing this wrong?

Also, do you have any affiliates that are licensed real estate investors that market this and use for leads?

Marketing it ourselves for our territories would give us the best responses, I do understand, but with your google adwords and other marketing, if our marketing is minimal, especially in the beginning, are there still leads that come from your marketing for affiliates?
thank you

A name is only a name and if I don't have any ownership or control over a company then I can't be held liable. Also you can use a different name on your corporation and call your "public" company something else, for example my "public " companies are Greenlight Properties LLC and Greenlight Development Inc. but I advertise CashHomeBuyers.com and I hold property and flip houses in different corporations. All you need to do is get a deal and if you want to call your self Amy Buys Houses or Cash Home Buyer Amy, then go ahead, you can then form a corporation with what ever name you want and that is the name that will hold title.

Also, do you have any affiliates that are licensed real estate investors that market this and use for leads?

I assume you mean licensed real estate agents, and I would assume that the odds would say yes, but I don't care/keep track of.

Marketing it ourselves for our territories would give us the best responses, I do understand, but with your google adwords and other marketing, if our marketing is minimal, especially in the beginning, are there still leads that come from your marketing for affiliates?

The only marketing that I do is Search Engine Marketing, which is getting the site in the top of the rankings. I do not do google adwords for affiliates generally speaking, however i do do some for those that have very large counties and are paying more than $150/month, but this will not continue indefinitely and may stop at any time as we rise the ranks, which we are doing every day.

You will receive leads without doing any marketing, and if you do the suggestions on the forum to improve your city rankings, then you will receive more. It is difficult to quantify the amount of leads you receive, as previously mentioned, but I can promise you that this way of doing things and with all of the free marketing on the forum, this is the best deal going in the real estate investing website market place. Where else are you going to get a marketing package and website initiation fee for $199? Where else are you going to get the use of a great name, website to market, and organic leads for on average $75 a month? There is no one doing this and if they are they are charging a lot more, and I would too if I joined the traveling circus and had to pay for airfare and fly across the country selling newbies a website elixir that will have deals overflowing in there mailbox every day, only to find out that the territory has been sold multiple times because no one lasts (wonder why) and for some reason after years of the website being up, most territories are still available.

thanks and keep the questions coming
