Amplify Your Offline Marketing – Novice

If the following describes you …

  • You’re just starting out with Carrot
  • You’ve never done a deal
  • You don’t have a marketing budget
  • You need a deal in the next 90 days

If that’s you… your carrot site will initially be used as a powerful credibility piece for the offline marketing you are going to be doing.

At this stage, you won’t yet be receiving any SEO leads and without a budget you won’t be able to drive traffic to the site through advertising …SO…. you’ll need to find leads by pounding the pavement and picking up the phone.

A lot of people in this stage should also probably have a mentor or guide to help them navigate the process of wholesaling or investing.

We’ve collected a list of potential programs or resources you could reach out to at the bottom of this article.

There are few strategies you’ll want to use when you’re in this position. A few we would recommend are below….

  1. Driving for dollars
  2. Cold Calling

In both of these strategies you’ll be reaching out to potential motivated sellers directly.
