Let’s find out…<\/p>\n

The Pros of ClickFunnels for Real Estate Investors<\/h2>\n

When it comes to online marketing, it’s no secret you need to set up good sales funnels. Most online funnel strategies involve you creating a killer landing page – we talked about this in our AdWords vs Bing Ads article<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

1. Easy to Make Squeeze Pages<\/h3>\n

One of the definite benefits to using ClickFunnels for real estate investors is that their squeeze page editor is really simple to use. You can customize you squeeze page how ever you want, or work off of a template they provide. Take note that there are only a few free templates. Recently, ClickFunnels has made some of their higher converting templates available at an additional cost<\/strong>. Because of how customizable their squeeze pages are, you can make it look like whatever you want – paying for it isn’t really necessary.<\/p>\n

When you use a squeeze page, you’re collecting information from motivated sellers.\u00a0There are two reasons to get motivated sellers’ information from a squeeze page:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To get in contact<\/strong> with them and land a deal<\/li>\n
  2. To retarget them<\/strong> in future marketing if they don’t convert on the first try<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Retargeting and PPC<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>are\u00a0extremely effective online marketing strategies.\u00a0The great thing about ClickFunnels for real estate investors is that it makes online marketing really easy for businesses.<\/p>\n

    2. Automated Email Responses<\/h3>\n

    Another great feature to take advantage of is ClickFunnels’ ability to send emails to motivated sellers after they submit their information to your real estate investing business. As a real estate investor, you already know that the person who’s first to respond to a motivated seller is most likely the person to get the lead. Which is why ClickFunnels’ automated email response<\/a><\/span><\/span> is great for getting you in contact with motivated sellers after they submit their information on your squeeze page.<\/p>\n

    In fact, according to Statista<\/a><\/span><\/span>, the average open-rate of real estate emails is 15.3%<\/strong>. Not bad, actually.\u00a0The more you can get your real estate investing business in front of motivated sellers, the better. Instead of sending out emails left and right, with ClickFunnels’ email automation you’ll be sending emails to motivated sellers who already know about your business because they visited your squeeze page.<\/p>\n

    3. Automated Text Responses<\/h3>\n

    In addition to sending emails to motivated sellers after they leave their information with you, ClickFunnels will also send them a text message if you enable that feature. This is another really great way to market your real estate investing business online and get higher conversion rates. In fact, because text messages have such a high open rate, Digital Marketing Magazine<\/a><\/span><\/span> found that “75% of people would like to have offers sent to them via SMS<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

    Just like email responses, texting your motivated sellers will greatly increase your chances of converting that lead into a deal. Text messages are opened more than emails. In a case study, Connect Mogul<\/a><\/span><\/span> reported that “90% of all text messages are read in under 3 minutes<\/strong>” of being received.<\/p>\n

    The Cons of ClickFunnels for Real Estate Investors<\/h2>\n

    Although using ClickFunnels for real estate investors is great for online lead generation, is it the best fit for\u00a0 your business? There’s a learning curve with it, just like any new tool, but is it worth it for real estate investors? Let’s talk about that…<\/p>\n

    1. It’s Going to Cost You<\/h3>\n
    \"clickfunnels<\/a>

    If you are going to want to keep track of the leads coming in and creating email lists you’re going to need Actionetics which is only available with the unlimited plan. That plan costs $297\/mo<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

    The problem is that you’re going to likely have to pay for, and integrate, third-party systems to send your emails. Systems such as: SendGrid<\/a><\/span><\/span>, MailChimp<\/a><\/span><\/span>, etc. No matter which one you go with, you’re going to be paying an additional cost<\/strong>. Likewise, you have to pay for and integrate third-party systems to send text messages as well. And, yes, that will be at an additional cost.<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0Wholesalers: Cash Buyer Email List Building Will Cost You More<\/h3>\n

    As a real estate investing wholesaler, you’re going to want to build an email buyers list. Unfortunately, ClickFunnels’ $97\/mo option doesn’t allow you to build or manage your email lists. That option is only available for the $297\/mo plan<\/strong>. Keep in mind, this is on top of the rest of your third-party email senders.<\/p>\n

    There are a lot of important options that real estate investors would benefit from that aren’t available in ClickFunnels’ $97\/mo plan. If you want these features (that you’ll need as a real estate investor), you’re going to have to pay for the $297\/mo plan<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
