Today's study is back again to the world of real estate - and just how much advertising, marketing and copywriting skills are critical for your success.

Most people want to be "in real estate investing", yet very few actually would say they want to be "in business".

The fact is, real estate investing IS a business, and just like any other, you have to put in the time and effort to do research, negotiate a price for your wares and advertise/market to others that will pay you more for it than you paid initially.

Yup, it really is just like any other business - even though it pays a LOT better than most other businesses for the same amount of time/energy and effort!!!

I see that on a daily basis, however, I wonder sometimes if the message gets lost somewhere - and just how often you need to be reminded of it...

I'm always writing emails or other things (web pages, articles, etc.) and constantly am looking for that 'gotcha' phrase or message that will get the most attention and, ultimately, relate to the most sales and/or profit (either way you look at it, the most $$$!;)

Know that many of the messages I write never get seen by anyone other than myself - yes, it's true - a good copywriter will write their message ten, twenty, even THIRTY TIMES or more before it gets released!

My copywriting mentor, Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero of 'Red Hot Copy' says thirty times is a good start....

In her Boot Camps and sessions, I learned a lot about copywriting, telling stories and capturing people's attention.  To be really successful in the L.A.Z.Y. method of real estate investing, writing copy is key!

In fact, it is one of the most essential tools in my personal toolbelt!

Being able to write a good ad that will get people's attention is what makes the properties sell, not what color carpet it has, how 'cute' it is or anything else - you have to write about the things that matter the most to the reader, clear, concise info on how this property will save them money, make them look better, lose weight or get more sex!

That's what copywriting is about and once you master that skill, your real estate business (and any/every business you want to have) really fly!

Check out Lorrie's stuff - it has worked great for me and I highly recommend it for anyone serious about making your business soar!

Learn, Apply, Zero taxes, Your wealth will grow!
