Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steven and Jill here!

Jill DeWit:                            Hi!

Steven 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 sunny southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Today, Jill and I talk about land sales and social media tips.

Jill DeWit:                            Okay I wanna pause for just a moment.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            For years now, we've been telling you we're recording in sunny southern California and I'm sure you're like "yeah right."

Steven Butala:                   Yeah. That's...

Jill DeWit:                            And now we can actually show you and prove it.

Steven Butala:                   And we have been recording here, but we made some studio changes.

Jill DeWit:                            In dark cave. Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Welcome to our new studio.

Jill DeWit:                            Yup. This is gonna be fun.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into the topic, lets take a question posted by one of our members on the Landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                            Tanner asks, "Hey everyone! I have finally sent out my first mailer about a week ago. I'm looking for feedback on what I should be doing in this period before the calls start coming in. I've been working on getting my online presence up and visible, but I feel like I should be doing more. Should I be researching for my next mailer? Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks!"

Steven Butala:                   And before Jill answers there are many, many, many, comments on this question on the forum.

Jill DeWit:                            Already, yeah.

Steven Butala:                   And a lot of different... because this is a big topic.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   You know? I remember when I sent out my first mailer in the early 2000s and, you know, what you're waiting for, that two weeks it takes before you submit it to offers for owners and then you're just waiting and you start to doubt yourself. You know?

Jill DeWit:                            Painful. Like, did it do it right? Is it wrong? Did I hit the people? Oh my gosh! Are they all going to not hate me? Whatever.

Steven Butala:                   So what we say in the program is take those two weeks and really take a look at what you look like on the internet.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   And really make sure that whoever is answering your phone, hopefully its you in the beginning, that's all squared away and [crosstalk 00:01:50]

Jill DeWit:                            Tested. Make sure that's good. I would even start getting ready to collect posting property, that's a good thing too. Once you get your internet and your website and your presence ready to go, you can also be starting to create some postings of popping the property, because you already know you you've sent out for all the five acres and, you know, X Y Z county, and what you're going to be buying and selling. So you can kind of get that pre rolling.

Steven Butala:                   Exactly.

Jill DeWit:                            So, good stuff.

Steven Butala:                   Anyway, there's some fantastic advice on the internet.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Today's topic; land sales and social media tips. This is the media that's shown. Jill, I know you're an expert on this south side of this so tell us.

Jill DeWit:                            All right. Well I made some notes as I usually do. So here's the thing first I want to talk about our mistakes because that's,
