Steve and Jill here.

Happy Friday.

Steven Jack Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today is Jill Friday. She's going to talk about our Land Academy and how it's a support group.

Jill DeWit:

It's funny.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before we get into it, do you want to give a little prelude on what you're going to talk about?

Jill DeWit:

Nah.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. And don't forget to subscribe on the Land Academy YouTube channel and comment on the shows you like.

Steven wrote, "Results of the first mailer. Now that the recension date has passed ... Now that I paid for all the mail, the education, the data, subscriptions, and a good chunk of change on top of that." So let me back up and just, I want to explain this real quick here. So Steven said, okay, I joined Land Academy. I paid for the education, data, however many months of subscription for the data, all the mail I just sent. I sent out all these offers. And then we have a date, usually it's like 90 days that, it's either 60 or 90 days, that we suggest to have on there as an expiration date that the offer is valid for. Is it ready?

Steven Jack Butala:

On the actual offer that we send out to each person, there's a date that says-

Jill DeWit:

Right, that's valid for.

Steven Jack Butala:

... it's valid for X date, and it all expires after that date.

Jill DeWit:

Right. So Steven is saying, the reason is he's saying it like this too, it's hard to track how well your mailer does because there's so many things that come in after that date. Even though we say it's expired, someone calls me up, I'm still going to talk to them. I still might buy it, even for years past that. It's just a call to action. So Steven said, all right, no matter what, in this first time period, 60, 90 days, whatever he used. Oh my gosh, it already paid for all the mail, all the education, all the data, everything, and I've got money leftover. So this is like, congratulations, it's perfect.

Jill DeWit:

He goes on to say, "I had someone call after the offer expired, and that is currently in escrow, as well as another property, which was offered by a seller after I closed on a different property of his. He has a third property for me after this one. This is already a life-changing experience. Thank you, Steven and Jill." Oh, congratulations, and thank you for sharing that.

Steven Jack Butala:

It's endless. It's endless, the number of ... We've sent millions of offers out and it's just endless what goes on.

Jill DeWit:

I'm so happy.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today is Jill Friday. She's going to talk about how Land Academy is a support group. This is the meat of the show.

Jill DeWit:

So, it's interesting how this all came to be. So we, way back when, starting Land Academy, it was just us in an education program, answering as many questions as we could pretty much via email or maybe in social media posts and things like that. We quickly realized it's better to help more than one at one time, and we created an online community. It was landinvestors.com, which is still there, and alive and well. Still online stuff. We're still in social media things. And then it morphed into our weekly calls, morphed into Discord. And it's just so much interaction. And where we are right now today, is everybody's helping each other, and I love it. It's so wonderful to me. The beauty of having a community is you don't feel like you're on an island. It's so nice.

Jill DeWit:

I wish we had started with a weekly member call from day one because it would have been like right there. It's just a calming thing. When you join Land Academy,
