Midland Mortg

The Internet has revolutionized the way people approach how they buy and sell real estate. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors, over 80 percent of all buyers use the Internet as their first resource in searching for a home. And, over 30 percent of all houses purchased were first seen on the Internet.

Among the many reasons for this trend include the fact that there is so much great information available on the web, there are a gazillions websites listing houses for sale and also the aging of the Generation X'ers, to the point where they are becoming home buyers (the Gen X'ers are very Internet savvy and prefer to do their research online).

I really became interested in buying and selling houses online in the summer of 2005 when I had a few investment properties to sell. The traditional means of hiring a real estate agent to list, then sell the homes really didn't appeal to me for a couple of reasons. One, I didn't want to pay a realtor commission as it would cut into my profit margins. Two, I'm kind of a do it yourself person that always has to try something first. So I looked for ways to sell houses using the Internet.

My search for ways to sell houses on the Internet soon took me to eBay Real Estate. After all, You can sell almost anything on eBay! eBay is the world's leading marketplace for online goods and services so I was really curious as to how their real estate business was doing, especially considering what theyhad been able to accomplish in other areas.

A person only has to look at one example of what eBay has done to revolutionize buying and selling. In the past few years have you ever looked at eBay to buy a car? If you had, you would have seen that in the year 2000 eBay had a small auto marketplace. Now fast forward to today and eBay Motors dominates the used car marketplace and is the country's biggest car dealer! Hmmm- now take the above fact and do you think perhaps eBay Real Estate is similar today to where eBay Motors was in 2000? Was eBay poised to accomplish that same feat in Real Estate?

It seemed at the time that selling houses on eBay was really catching on and that it was where the action was in real estate. In mid 2006, eBay seemed like it was going to be a real winner for providing home sellers, investors and real estate agents an inexpensive and effective venue for buying and selling home, commercial properties, timeshares, land, and even mobile homes. The mid 2006 eBay real estate listings were as follows:

- Approximatley 4650 Properties were Selling on eBay every month

- Average Listings on any Given Day included:

- 1300 Residential Properties
- 350 Commercial
- 100 Manufactured Homes
- 1100 Timeshares
- 1500 Land Parcels

Given the above numbers it seemed like there was a good base of homes being sold on eBay as well as timeshares and land.

So I plowed ahead and tried selling houses on eBay - two in Las Vegas, two in Washington and a couple of preconstructions in Destin, Florida. I met with mixed success, but more on these deals in a later article.

Now it is early 2009 and I wanted to check back in to see if the real estate business on eBay had picked up any in the two plus years since I had last

checked their stats. Here is what I found:

- 520 Residential Properties
- 140 Commercial
- 65 Manufactured Homes
- 1277 Timeshares
- 1006 Land Parcels
- 68 Other

The fact that the number of real estate listings, auctions and classified ads on eBay had declined really surprised. The number of timeshares for sale on eBay had certainly increased, but everything else went down. Why? Initially, I can only think of two reasons why eBay's real estate business is down.

1. the housing market is so bad right now that no one is trying to sell because of the belief there are no buyers.
2. eBay real estate really has not caught on as a place to buy and sell real estate. There can be many reasons contributing to issue number two such as competition for Craigslist (which is free), sellers have had poor success in the past trying to use eBay real estate and maybe all the bad press about online real estate scams have people scared off.

I am curious as to why eBay's real estate venture is down in numbers and I am curious as to what eBay will have to do to gain momentum in this market niche.

Do you think Real Estate on eBay will grow and prosper?

Do you think eBay Real Estate has a chance against all the other Internet competition?

What will eBay have to do to get their online Real Estate business to succeed like their eBay Motors did?

Should I Build or Buy my Real Estate Website?
Picking the right approach and finding the right web site or blog can be the most important decision you make. Whether to get a blog or a web site is not always an easy choice. What is certain though is you must have one or both in this high tech era. My vote is that you should have both.
A web presence is a must for you to build credibility for you as a real estate or investor professional. They can also be great sales and marketing tools when used properly.

For a web site you will usually have two major choices: 1) custom designed site or 2) template-based site. Which option you pick will be determined by your budget, level of commitment, long term plans and your online marketing campaign.
Template Sites
Template sites cost considerably less than custom designed sites which generally run in the $300-$1200 range. However, I have seen them priced all the way up to $5000 or more, plus monthly support and hosting fees. You will be able to choose from several different templates and you will have control your personal content. This can include your photo, contact information, and any listings you may add. Some template sites also provide some useful tools and content - just make sure you get one you can make changes to on your own.

The biggest advantage of using a template site includes a lower price tag and the less time and effort needed to get it up and running. The down side is they offer less flexibility.

Custom Sites
Custom web sites are designed specifically to your needs and cost significantly more than template sites. While you may see some low prices advertised for a "Basic" site, a custom site with all the features you want will usually cost anywhere from $1000 to $1000. Having a custom built site allows you more freedom with the features, design, and organization of your site. However, running a custom site successfully usually requires a much larger time commitment and you may need more technical skills, unless you are going to pay someone else to do all the work.

Quite often, realtors will start off with a template site and later convert to a custom site as they grow larger and more sophisticated
Things to Look For:

If you plan to maintain your own website, there are some common features that every good site should have.

1. Administrative Console or Control Panel - you will want to make changes to your web site through an easy web form. You do not want to rely on a "propeller head" to add and update the content on your site.

2. Level of Customization and Scalability - you need to be able to control the content and look of your site, add new pages and features all affordably..

3. Frameless pages - Many vendors offer template sites that use frames to display content that they host on a central server. These usually have poor aesthetic appeal and problems with search engines and usability.

4. Aesthetics and Usability - quite often people will tell you that you do not need a pretty site with fancy graphics. They will tell you that visitors to your site are only concerned with content. While they are correct in that visitors are mostly interested in content, the reality is that image and usability do matter to build credibility.

5. Support Staff with Online Marketing Expertise - the best web site in the world will not generate any new leads for you unless you promote it properly. Make sure your web designers are familiar with search engine optimization and can help coach you in marketing your web site. This topic alone could fill my hard drive, it is too lengthy to go into detail here.

6. Designers Familiar with Real Estate Industry and Websites - you should purchase your web site from a company that specializes in real estate sites and has a track record. They should also be familiar with what prospective clients are looking for on your site and how to best generate new leads for you.

Web sites are a must have Real Estate Marketing Tool and to be part of the digital revolution you must have one. And then there are Blogs - less expensive, easier to manage, less functional, more fun, but that's a story for another day.

In a world of information overload and misinformation,You will find that that this
report will by Gauher Chaudhry give you a clear understanding of how CPA marketing and the CPA industry works.

The biggest challenge that you will have going against you in the CPA marketing
game is traffic and time.

Contrary to what you have heard or read, playing the CPA marketing game is not
as easy as it appears. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and persistence to
make a lot of money with CPA offers.

The CPA market is nothing new and has been around since the mid 1990's and
brokering traffic from traffic sources like pay per click search engines to CPA
offers has been a business for many affiliates for the last ten years.

I have been involved in CPA marketing for the last twelve years and I have seen
the industry grow from a handful of CPA networks to the hundreds of networks
today. The industry is still growing and presents the opportunity for average
people to make thousands, hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars in
the comfort of their own home.

There are multiple ways to generate traffic to CPA offers (free and paid) and I will
cover a vast majority of them in this special report to help you get started in this
amazing business.

Wishing you success on your CPA journey.
