Jack Butala:
Jack Butala here for LandAcademy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land Show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about how we managed to build a better life together, and how you can, too. Jill, great show today. I love these philosophical big picture shows.
Jill DeWit:
Me too.
Jack Butala:
Before we start, let's take a question from a caller, directly out of SuccessPlant.com, our free online community.
Jill DeWit:
Awesome. Billy from Oceanside, California asks "I'm just starting out and I've been seriously grinding every day and long hours. I've not been using the direct mail campaign you guys talked about."
Jack Butala:
What?
Jill DeWit:
I know. "Is direct mail worth the money?"
Jack Butala:
Oh, my gosh.
Jill DeWit:
I ... Billy is, I love that he's in SuccessPlant, clearly, and looking around and thinking about doing this. I see where he's coming from. He sees the success and he's asking some questions. Go for it, Steven.
Jack Butala:
Yeah. Here's the typical path that people take down the LandAcademy path. They get the free eBook. Right ... The first thing in the free eBook, what it says is go through this exercise on Craigslist. Post a posting that says "Hey, we're real interested ..." Choose any market. Any Craigslist market you'd like. "We're real interested in buying your land super cheap. Please let me know if you have some for sale. Please know, before you respond, we're not going to pay market price or anything close. It's going to be cheap." The typical LandAcademy member does that, and has some type of response or success. In fact, a lot of cases, they end up doing a deal. Right from there. Then, they purchase our Cash Flow From Land program. Then after that, they get involved in Data To Doorstep, which is our product where you send out a mailer.
Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Jack Butala:
Then from there, the success is celebrated. If you question any of this, and you're skeptical, and you should, listener, go to SuccessPlant.com and there's people in there that are actual members talking about this all the time and experiencing a ton of success. My answer is Billy, if it's time for you to do that, if you've taken those other two steps, seriously, the Craigslist step and the Cash Flow From Land step, please take that logical next step and get Data To Doorstep. Direct mail is totally worth it. There's no better way to buy inexpensive property.
Jill DeWit:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Jack Butala:
In the universe of ways to buy inexpensive property, there's purchases of tax liens, super complicated. We do it, but it's very complicated. If you're new at this, I would suggest that you put that on your list of things to learn a couple years from now. The first way and the best way, and it's what Jill and I do every single day is send out direct mail offers, and you're going to buy property for half.
Jill DeWit:
Can I share something?
Jack Butala:
Yeah.
Jill DeWit:
Okay. Because I noted this. One of our top, top members. You know who I'm talking about. Luke.
Jack Butala:
Everybody loves Luke.
Jill DeWit:
Yes.
Jack Butala:
He's probably too big and too good for even listening to this podcast anymore.
Jill DeWit:
I'm only sharing some stuff because he shares it in SuccessPlant, so I know it's okay to say. He's now averaging a deal a day. Buying and selling.
Jack Butala:
He started with Craigslist.
Jill DeWit:
Right. Well, I don't know if you noticed. What I saw the other day as far as how he's flipped the switch, man, talk about ... It's great. He started it.
