    Marketing With Fake Emotion Kills Sales
    I recently had the experience of sitting for Jury Duty. Rather than bemoan my fate, I decided to see what the trial attorneys (AKA "Professional Persuaders") could teach me about persuasion.In a nutshell, it was a civil case – a traffic accident allegedly resulting in an injury.The Plaintiff's attorneys tried to tug at our heartstrings. The "victim's" parents were in the court every day, and they were constantly portrayed as a close, loving family. When the Mother took the stand, we were told of how her daughter had suffered as a result of her injury. She couldn't pick up her children. Her first Thanksgiving in her own home, she couldn't put the turkey in the oven. She couldn't wrap Christmas presents.And, in what clinched the case, the mother tearfully recounted how her daughter had to tell her young children to stay away from Momm
    Wholesaling real estate is one of the best ways to begin making money in real estate without the need for capital or credit. In part 1 of this series, I will start laying out some of the best ways that I have found to locate buyers for your potential wholesale deals. These strategies will also work for real estate bird dogging.

    1. We Buy Houses Signs I call every single one of these signs that I see, I actually keep a note book full of numbers and info that I find out about these companies when I call.

    I usually ask them whether they are still buying, what they are looking for, what percentage up FMV (fair market value) they are typically paying, and what areas of town they want to buy in.

    While I have them on the phone I also ask them if they wholesale out any of their homes, if they do then I ask them to call me when they have something good. I tell them that if the deal is right I can close in less than 2 weeks with cash.(I can do this because I have other buyers already in place to buy their deals, sometimes these buyers could be other cash for your house buyers)

    Here is a sample of a deal that I put together using this.
    1. I called a we buy houses sign
    2. Found out where they were looking
    3. Put a home under contract for $52k in that area
    4. Called them and let them know.
    5. I signed a 6 month lease option with them for $64k
    6. I closed the home.
    7. The lease option started
    8. He sold the home
    9. We close this week, I make about $12,000 (I also made commission when I bought the house, because I am a realtor)
    10. He makes around $12k.
    11. Were all happy.

    2. Call realtor's I call realtor's and find out if they have any cash buyers that are looking to buy some wholesale deals. It varies on what I offer to pay them but typically I offer 10%-20% of my profit, or a flat 2-3% fee,

    Paid Online Surveys - Separating the Reality From the Hype
    You see it all over the Net these days. Someone promising that you can make $150 an hour taking paid online surveys, or make thousands of dollars a month taking surveys. When you see claims like that, just keep going. Someone is just using hype to oversell what is realistically possible, and is dangling sucker bait in front of you.Like most exorbitant claims, there is some germ of reason, some reality to start with. One could say, "Play baseball and get paid millions of dollars a year! Lots of others are doing it!" Yeah, right. It is possible, but that does not prove that you are likely to be another one that does that.The hype-artist dream-merchants are using the same psychological motivators used by those who sell lottery tickets. They point out the winners, who get a great deal of publicity, and say, "Just imagine! You<

    Machiavelli: The Prince - Lessons in Organizational Structure
    Machiavelli emphasized on building a strong organization structure where responsibilities and accountabilities are clearly defined and offender should be dealt with no mercy. As per him an organization or kingdom can be built on the support of either the people or the nobles.“A principality is created either by the people or by the nobles, accordingly as one or other of them has the opportunity; for the nobles, seeing they cannot withstand the people, begin to cry up the reputation of one of themselves, and they make him a prince, so that under his shadow they can give vent to their ambitions. The people, finding they cannot resist the nobles, also cry up the reputation of one of themselves, and make him a prince so as to be defended by his authority. He who obtains sovereignty by the assistance of the nobles maintains himself with more difficult

    How Much Are You Worth: Consulting Fees
    How much is your time and expertise worth? Its the age old challenge for consultants: how much do I bill my clients? Sadly, there is no set in stone answer, however, here are some tips that will help you establish your rates.First, lets look at your client's needs. Why are they hiring an outside consultant, when they have employees? There are several reasons why your client is interested in hiring you as a consultant:a) third party opinion - employees know where their bread is buttered, so they are less inclined to go against the current direction of the company. As an outsider, there is no concern with offering a different opinion. Your independent opinion can provide a much needed, focused perspective your client's company needs.b) you are cheaper - this is what is normally the hardest for new consultants to understand. How can yo

    Flipping Homes In Utah
    Home flipping is reaching epidemic proportions in the U.S. and why not? It has consistently showed itself to be one of the safest and most profitable forms of investment available. Utah is currently undergoing a period of huge prosperity and with that has come an increased need for quality homes and condos. The art of flipping homes is something that is attainable by the average investor as opposed to other veins of money making that require huge sums of money up front. The idea is fairly simple: buy a home at a price that is lower than it's worth. Perhaps a home that needs some TLC but is still in a good area. Do the old "fixer-upper," and then sell it for a higher price and pocket the difference.One thing to keep in mind when planning a home flip is to factor all of the costs associated with the renovations and upkeep of the home into your budg

    10. He makes around $12k.
    11. Were all happy.

    2. Call realtor's I call realtor's and find out if they have any cash buyers that are looking to buy some wholesale deals. It varies on what I offer to pay them but typically I offer 10%-20% of my profit, or a flat 2-3% fee, each time the buyer they have given me buys a home. It creates a win- win, I get a buyer and they get paid whenever their buyer buys a home.

    I offer the continuous pay because a realtor's worst fear is that they give you a buyer and he buys from you, then when they have a good property to show their buyers they cannot buy because they have already purchased from you.

    If the realtor's do not have cash buyers, I tell them that if they bump into any great deals, they should call me and if the deals good enough we can buy with cash and close in less than 2 weeks.( Often times you can use other realtor's buyers to buy another realtor's house and you can make money setting the two up)

    An example of one of my clients deals that he ran this way.
    1. I called my client about a great HUD deal
    2. He liked the deal and put the home under contract for $115k (I made a $4800 commission on the home when it closed so I was happy)
    3. We had 60 days to close the HUD home so he started calling realtors
    4. He found a realtor with a cash buyer that was willing to pay $122,000
    5. We assigned the contract (this is a secret)
    6. We went to closing and his buyer brought $122,000 cashiers check.
    7. My buyer left with a check for $7,000 ( he used none of his own money, and I found him the house so he was happy)
    8. I left with my $4800 commission
    9. The realtor who brought the buyer took no commission but got a commitment from his buyer that he would list the home with him when he sold it.
