If you are starting a marketing strategy on a shoestring, it may feel like there is just no way at all to get started online while you try to attract investors to your network. This article is written to show you how to get started building a Commercial Property Investment Network on a shoestring, and how to really grow your list of accredited investors.
If you have a budget, you can learn quickly how to attract a list of approved accredited investors, you start advertising, and you are in business, hopefully making money in a short period of time.
You have a budget for advertising and market development or you do not. It does not matter.
You can begin to develop a Commercial Property Investor Network , and lose track of your marketing efforts, once you connect with investors willing to invest in your acquisition. I suggest you reinvest money into paid versions of the services you use to continue marketing to new potential investors. You can easily become disenfranchised with the time you have to spend online, and your growth will become an issue. One important thing about starting at the beginning is that you cannot take any money out of the marketing results at first. Anything that you might generate from your online efforts should be reinvested right back into your marketing.
The following series of steps involve free advertising, free products and tools, and free methods of traffic generation. Although they do not cost any money, they cost time, and you must be willing to spend a considerable amount of time marketing to drive traffic (and potential investors) to your commercial properties offerings.
Once you have a website and an auto responder service set up, you need to drive traffic to your site. This is where you will spend most of your time. My favorite form of free marketing is article writing and submission to my targeted niche.
The first thing you need to do is determine exactly what kind of an online investor network you want to develop. In commercial property acquisition, I suggest you target accredited and/or sophisticated investors.
Develop a website. There are several free web site hosting companies that include free site builder software. Just type in “free web hosting” into a search engine and you will have lots of choices. You will usually have limited space, and the site will have advertising on it to support the company. Keep in mind, you are just getting started, so you will not need a lot of space; once you develop the need for more space you can upgrade to a paid version. The advertising is the compromise you make for starting out on a shoestring.
The next thing you need is an auto responder, so you can keep in touch with your client list. There are several free versions of auto responder services available. Again, they will be limited and have advertising, but again, once you are making money, you can upgrade to a paid service with more functionality.
By far the most lucrative method I have used is WordPress. That is right, WordPress, did you know you can create a website using the WordPress blog platform and cannot tell the difference from an expensive website? Search for WordPress website development to get started. You can develop your own website and fire your webmaster. A particular advantage is that you can add ongoing content as you grow without being a slave to a timeframe dictated by an overworked webmaster.
