RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL <strong>REIA</strong> MEETING<br />
In my marketing with <strong>REIA</strong>s, I usually provide anywhere from one<br />
<strong>to</strong> three videos promoting the weekday <strong>REIA</strong> meeting, detailing<br />
why people should attend. Then I'll do one more video that can be<br />
emailed out in-between the weekday meeting and the Saturday<br />
workshop (if we do a Saturday workshop also, obviously). This<br />
video quickly explains the benefits of doing whatever they have <strong>to</strong><br />
do <strong>to</strong> be at the Saturday workshop. Sort of like a little teaser on<br />
what's <strong>to</strong> come.<br />
This gives the audience a chance <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> know the speaker in<br />
advance. It also provides really good content. We usually provide at<br />
least one video <strong>to</strong> drive people <strong>to</strong> the monthly meeting and one<br />
additional video driving people <strong>to</strong> the Saturday workshop.<br />
• Mini-Courses<br />
Home study courses are one of the most common products you'll<br />
find in this industry. Many people have created their own courses<br />
about real estate investing in general as well as specifics, such as<br />
finding the money and beginner investing strategies. Most of these<br />
courses will be broken up in<strong>to</strong> a number of lessons. Since many of<br />
these courses can be sold for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars,<br />
offering the potential opt-in subscriber the first few lessons in<br />
exchange for an email can help build your opt-in list quickly.<br />
If you don't have a home study course of your own, find someone<br />
that has some training materials that you can give away for free. If<br />
you need something like this, contact us and we'll be happy <strong>to</strong> send<br />
you some free valuable content you can use. We have free books,<br />
CD’s, DVD’s and more that we will be glad <strong>to</strong> bring. Why wouldn't<br />
we? It's exposure that we may not have gotten otherwise. Win-win!<br />
We apologize for the shameless plug... but you can see how easy it<br />
is <strong>to</strong> get really good content for the purposes of creating a<br />
compelling opt in-list! I am sure any good speaker would be willing<br />
<strong>to</strong> provide the same.<br />
