If you do what everyone else is doing, your best case scenario is getting the exact same results as them (probably worse than them, if we’re honest). But if you want to dominate your market, you have to do better.  Doing better means innovating. It means marketing where your competition doesn’t market so you close the leads they’re not even generating.  In this episode, you’ll hear about the biggest marketing channel almost no real estate investor is using right now. Listen now if you’re ready to beat your competition to an undiscovered pool of leads and generate cheaper leads so you can sign deals left and right while they’re paying 10x as much and generating 10x less.  Show highlights include: The “inventory problem” making Google and Facebook ads more and more expensive—and the only channel that has no inventory problem (prices there are 10% of what they might be on the big networks). (5:20) Why Google AdWords prices will only keep rising. (8:40) Why ad costs remained almost constant on this one advertising channel for 5 years straight, meaning you can bank on getting cheap clicks years into the future. (13:50) Dan’s challenge for all hungry real estate investors who want to make it big this and next year.

Have you ever been ripped off by a so-called marketing expert that promised you X, Y, and Z but gave you nothing?  Cunning self-proclaimed “experts” dupe many real estate investors into investing their hard-earned capital into their services. These tricksters promise innocent investors the world, but deliver nothing. Why does this happen?  More often than not, “experts” cloak their incompetence with certainty. It happens in all industries — especially complex ones like marketing.  Here’s the truth:  The top experts in any field are never certain. The more you dig into a certain subject, the less confident you become. Knowing this little counterintuitive truth can protect your wallet from greedy, new age robber barons.  In this episode, you’ll discover why the least certain experts are the most competent. And how knowing this protects your wealth and boosts your marketing performance.  Listen to the episode now before you get fooled again. Show highlights include: Why complete ignorance around a subject like crypto helps you make more informed (and profitable) decisions (3:49)  How blind allegiance to an expert in any industry can sabotage your investments (6:00)  The counterintuitive reason following the least confident experts in an industry makes your pockets fatter than trusting the most confident ones (6:52)  The insidious way marketing experts disguise their incompetence as certainty (and ransack your business) (9:56)  The “It Depends” selection filter which prevents self-proclaimed experts from robbing you blind (10:04)  Need help with your online marketing?
