RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL <strong>REIA</strong> MEETING<br />

desire is <strong>to</strong> build your email list and that everyone that comes <strong>to</strong><br />

your site is going <strong>to</strong> get a free copy of the book by opting in. The<br />

benefit <strong>to</strong> the author is that he will au<strong>to</strong>matically get raving fans<br />

from countless people who have been introduced <strong>to</strong> his book (and<br />

otherwise likely would never have been exposed <strong>to</strong> it).<br />

You can also get valuable books <strong>to</strong> give away absolutely free as<br />

well. We recently did a promotion where we gave away a digital<br />

copy of the famous book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.<br />

How did we do this, you ask? Did we call up Napoleon and pay <strong>to</strong><br />

give away copies of his book? Um... no, he died back in 1970. What<br />

most people don't know is that copyright law protects content<br />

written for a period of 50 years. After that, it's open game <strong>to</strong> share.<br />

Although this book is one of the most popular wealth building books<br />

of all time, it's also a classic that was written more than fifty years<br />

can, in fact, be the perfect option for a group which focuses on<br />

people new <strong>to</strong> real estate investing. The video can cover some basic<br />

information and will entice the visi<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> seek out more information<br />

by joining the group or attending an event.<br />

This is a huge oversight that most <strong>REIA</strong> owners don't take<br />

advantage of, and it's a whole lot simpler than you might think.<br />

Video marketing is incredibly effective. In fact, it's my opinion that<br />

video marketing is one of the most effective <strong>to</strong>ols in our marketing<br />

world <strong>to</strong>day. Of course, the content of the video has <strong>to</strong> be worth<br />

watching. It has <strong>to</strong> be short enough <strong>to</strong> grab their attention and keep<br />

it. It has <strong>to</strong> be detailed enough and provide enough value <strong>to</strong> get the<br />
