Hi,

You may have missed the news like me...but, the web just passed a mammoth milestone. “There are now 100 million Web sites with domain names and content on them.” According to Rich Miller of Netcraft, an internet monitoring company.

1) 100 Million And Counting...Is Your Mortgage Web Site

       Among Them?

***************************************************

Netcraft uses the domain name system to identify Web sites, check how many of them are in a particular location, which operating system and Web server software they're running, and then publishes its information in a monthly report. There were just 18,000 Web sites when Netcraft, began keeping track in August of 1995. It took until May of 2004 to reach the 50 million milestone; then only 30 more months to hit 100 million, late in the month of October 2006.

2) Mining Mortgage Gold Using For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

      Marketing

***************************************************

I love For Sale by Owners (FSBOs). Why? Because, it's like having multiple gold mining claims popping up unexpectedly all over my little piece of land (territory). Without a doubt, when you know how to work with FSBOs, they are one of the easiest avenues to mortgage success that is available.

Unfortunately, most mortgage professionals really choke whenever they have the opportunity to work with a FSBO. Somehow they always find reasons not to. I must admit that FSBOs are rarely easy or fun if you’re new to the mortgage business. Most newcomers get one good rejection, three at the outside, and they're done with FSBOs and off to try the next origination idea.

3) Did You Send Your Thanksgiving Day Cards ?

**************************************************

If you didn’t, there’s still plenty of time. You’re probably asking...as a Mortgage Professional, why in the world would I send Thanksgiving Day cards?

The answer is...because you want to be different! You want people to remember you! You want to stand-out from the rest of the crowd! You want to present your message at a time and place when people can and will take notice. To do that, you need to think differently than most other people in business. You need to send Thanksgiving Day cards.

Here’s an article worth reading. Click Here to Read.
