Laughing at the Haight (Hate) (CFFL 461)
Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.
Jill DeWit: Good day, sir. Ow, I just laughed.
Jack Butala: Boy, somebody's feeling better from their surgery, I think.
Jill DeWit: Thank you, although that one accent made me laugh and that hurt so I gotta be careful.
Jack Butala: Welcome to our show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about laughing at the Haight.
Jill DeWit: All right. Don't make me hurt too much. Yes.
Jack Butala: Before we get into it, though. Let's take a question. As always, posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill DeWit: Cool. All right. Hey, by the way, I gotta, since we laugh at this often, I gotta bring this up, Jack. When will LandInvestors not be SuccessPlant? Do we know?
Jack Butala: Yeah, soon. Within 30 days.
Jill DeWit: Okay, cool.
Jack Butala: Actually, way less than that.
Jill DeWit: So here's a tip. If you're looking for it, it's on SuccessPlant, but that's gonna change so full disclosure.
Jack Butala: You can get there through LandInvestors very easily. Just click through it.
Jill DeWit: Exactly. Cool. All right. So Ken asked, "Hi, there. I'm a bit confused on how I should proceed with creating my websites or site or sites. Should I start with one website to sell my properties and go from there or should I have both a buying website and a selling website?"
Jack Butala: Ken, I'm so glad you asked this. I mean it. We get this question a lot and I'm glad that it got included in the show. The whole reason for you to have a website at all is to provide a place where you draw traffic, land-buying traffic back to, so that they can click on it and put their credit card information in and buy the property from you. That's it. That's the reason you have a sell side website.
It doesn't mean you just post it on the site and it's over. You have to draw up traffic back there and how do you do that? You do it by listing property on Land Pen, Land and Farm, Land Watch, Trulia, Zillow, ebay, Bid 4 Assets, all the places that you can think of, Craigslist. And then, so when they bite on the, when the fish bites on the lure, you pull up the line to really sink that hook into its mouth on your website. That's the reason.
So that's how you do it. You, I would highly recommend getting a developer as inexpensively as possible in the beginning to develop a woo commerce, a woo eCommerce website. And in the, we are just about done with connecting ShellPay, which is a real estate-based, it's a credit card provider just like PayPal of real estate people in the industry. So you can connect that to WooCommerce and you'll be all set.
Jill DeWit: We're gonna-
Jack Butala: You get the right-
Jill DeWit: Are we gonna offer that? We're gonna put that altogether I hope for people, too, because I would love to be able to say to Ken, "You want someone that can do a website? We have a negotiated thing. It's a great price."
Jack Butala: Yes.
Jill DeWit: Here's what you can do. And do you want the credit card part of it, too? Okay, great.
Jack Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: They can do that, too.
Jack Butala: That'll be released with ShellPay. So what'll end up happening is you'll go to a website, you'll say, "Oh, I like the way this template website looks and I like the way this [inaudible 00:03:14] looks,
