30 Days Later Promo Webinar Results

Transcript: 

Jack Butala:                         Jack and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi.

Jack Butala:                         Welcome to the Jack and Jill show, entertaining real estate investment talk. I'm Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California.

Jack Butala:                         Today, Jill and I talk about the promotion that we ran, 30 days' later, and what the results were. I have to tell you, they were truly amazing.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep.

Jack Butala:                         Here's why. I think everybody ... Jill ran a massive promo to get a pretty substantial discount for some of the products that we offer.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala:                         In exchange for the discount, she set up two closed webinars.

Jill DeWit:                            It was part of ... This was a promo, not in exchange for, it was part of the promo. It was, "Hey, everybody." Sorry, to interrupt you.

Jack Butala:                         Go ahead.

Jill DeWit:                            What it really was, is this was the promo. "Hey, everybody, as part of the bonus, you're going to get two, one-hour special closed sessions with Jack and I and nobody else."

Jack Butala:                         There was 45 days, 30 days apart from each other.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative). One month apart. We did the first one in December and we did the second one just the other night. It was fun because I timed it where the promo ended. Like a week had passed, and then they got to have a closed webinar with us. It wasn't a large group, obviously.

Jack Butala:                         Seven people.

Jill DeWit:                            By design. Then, who showed up? More people checked on, but that was on the webinar. Then, the 30 days' later, same group, here we all are, kind of thing. Super. That was again, a closed thing. We could all talk.

Jack Butala:                         Everybody's buying real estate. Buying and selling real estate within 30 days.

Jill DeWit:                            It was cool.

Jack Butala:                         Which I thought ...

Jill DeWit:                            Let's save some for the show.

Jack Butala:                         I'm sorry.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Jack Butala:                         Before we get into that, under Jill's direction, like my mom used to do ...

Jill DeWit:                            Oops, here we go.

Jack Butala:                         The second question posted by one of the members on the jackjill.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                            Gerd says, "Howdy, y'all. My name is Gerd. I have done a bit of lurking as of late and I really, really like the feel of the community here. Everyone has done a great job to make this a working forum and most everyone seems really nice.

Sometimes, that is tough to find these days. Anyhow, I'm an energy industry professional, been in the business for about 15 years now, started at the bottom, working on the lowest spot on the rigs and ended up working myself all over half the globe.

Met my wife when I was working in Newfoundland, Canada. We are now expecting kid number two. I learned about land investing listening to podcasts last year on my commute. I'm now a cube dweller and have been incredibly intrigued.

I lost my you-know-what investing in real estate several years ago, but I know too many people that have retired way young from it to give up and am about ready to get back into it. Planning on becoming a full-fledged member shortly and using my income tax refund to fund my acquisition fund."

Jack Butala:                         That's a good plan.
