Jack Butala:                       Jack Butala with Jill DeWit!

Jill DeWit:                           Hi there!

Jack Butala:                       Welcome to our show today. This episode Jill and I talk about why investors don't need real estate agents. Another wonderful - Wonderfully written title by Jill. We'll find out why she's writing -[crosstalk 00:00:15]

Jill DeWit:                           I'm having fun this week.

Jack Butala:                       - Why she's writing these titles this week in a few seconds. Before we get into it though, let's take a question posted by one of the members on the LandAcadamy.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                           Okay, Mike wrote and asked, "Apparently, a lot of folks are having success selling land on Facebook. Can you share your procedure, and/or the groups you're posting to? Perhaps you can recommend a tip or resource? Thanks."

Oh, I have one.

Jack Butala:                       I have a lot to say about this, go ahead.

Jill DeWit:                           Okay, well my favorite tip is ... If you have it on the right selling site like, oh I don't know, LandPin. You push a button and it posts it on Facebook for you, and it posts it to your account where you're signed in, slash however, I'm sure. And then you can share it all over the planet from there.

Jack Butala:                       Yeah, here's a short answer. You can reach 1.6, well between Jill and I, its 1.2 to 1.6 million people by the push of a button right out of LandPin. And you can do it, not just with your property, but with everybody's or anybody's that's posted on there. So, if you want to promote yourself and you don't have any property to sell, we designed it this way, you just press a button on LandPin and it draws a huge amount of attention to yourself.

Jill DeWit:                           It's true.

Jack Butala:                       So, you can use other peoples property's to kind of piggyback on building your own following, let's say, for land. We've spent a lot of time on this and it's ... Please just go to LandPin, click on any property, and at the bottom you'll see all the share buttons. Facebook, Instagram, the rest of them. You can do it on all of them.

Jill DeWit:                           I was just gonna say, the whole point of this is, Mike, it's reach. That's the biggie - [crosstalk 00:02:05]

Jack Butala:                       That's why it works.

Jill DeWit:                           That's it, you're just trying to reach somebody, and that's just one more way, between Facebook, and Twitter, and all that stuff. Who knows where that one person is? It could be somebody sitting on Twitter looking at tiny houses and tiny cute curtains. Who knows?

I'm not kidding. On Pinterest looking at curtains for the tiny house to go on the piece of land they don't own. Seriously, I'm sure this happens, and here comes your land, and you reach them, and that's exactly what they want. You never know, so don't discount any of that.

Jack Butala:                       And the second part of your question is, "What are the names of the groups?" There's a million Facebook groups that are really special. Not a million, there's probably 30 or 40 that super, ultra specialize in rural vacant land. Or any type of vacant land, or investing, and just sign up for all of them. And when post it from LandPin you can select wich group it's going to go into, or you can just share it into a group through where it got posted. It's really - Just horse around with it for 15 or 20 minutes and you'll see how powerful it is.

And then my final point here is, if you want to get into Facebook ads, and we do this for very specific stuff like podcasting, but Facebook ads are incredibly inexpensive and effective.
