There are some folks that refer to the www in World Wide Web as the Wild Wild Web. This is their way of saying that you’ve got to be careful when you’re on the Internet and I totally agree.

Here’s a case in point...when you click on a link that looks something like this http://Google.com you really expect to land on the Google Web Site. That’s exactly what happens...most of the time. It is possible however, that’s not where you’ll be sent and what you get is totally unexpected...

Website marketing should be an important part of your mortgage business and an integral part of an Internet marketing strategy you develop.

So...You reserved your personal Domain Name, put up a website, and became apart of the on-line world...Good for you!

Do Your Mortgage Business A Favor...Switch To Permission Based Marketing

Here’s a question for you...May I have your permission to show you the future of mortgage marketing?

Powerful isn’t it? And because you’re a Mortgage Professional, the subject of mortgage marketing and loan origination is foremost in your mind. You just may give me that permission immediately, or the worst case is, you’ll give me that permission tomorrow or next week, after reviewing my credentials and/or reviewing information that I offer. Read this article and get the whole story...

Recently, during conversations with a number of Mortgage Professionals almost half of them stated that they had a personal mortgage website for a while now and were getting very little traffic and even fewer leads.

So I asked them what if anything they had done to promote their website and their answer was...

It doesn’t matter whether you’re using business cards, fliers, door hangers, reports, postcards, newspaper or yellow page advertising, direct mail, or a call-capture system...all of your marketing efforts should be designed with a single purpose and objective...identify and capture the information of new mortgage prospects.

You do have a mortgage website...you do have a page on your company’s website...or maybe you bought a subset template page on a master mortgage website...you do have an email address that does lend credibility to your mortgage business...and, all and all, you have made the big move with many other Mortgage Professionals to the Internet highway.

Yes...there are bugs that can affect your marketing and you don’t need a pest exterminator to resolve the problem. Now, if you’re a little lost at this point that’s OK...this article is definitely for you and may explain why you’re not generating any mortgage leads from your website.

Refinances are down, new home sales are off, lenders are closing their doors, loan programs are being eliminated, and credit requirements are being tightened...it’s no wonder we’re not quite as optimistic as we once were.

A few years ago I came to the realization that if you’re running a mortgage business that’s computer and Internet based, you need to supplement all of that high technology with something decidedly simple and very old fashioned. This article explains all...

It's here to stay and if anything, methodically advancing forward and providing us with so many opportunities we are sometimes overwhelmed to the point of confusion. Technology is what we are talking about.

Yet, most people don't even take advantage of the technology they currently have. Read this article to learn more...

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. 

The numbers are absolutely staggering. Every single day millions of pages are added to the Internet and new users are hopping online for the first time in unthinkable numbers. We're still along way from living in a world where everyone and every location is "wired," but the net's growth is nothing short of incredible.

So, what does that have to do with your Mortgage Business? Everything!

I don't blame you...I wouldn't either. Read the entire article.
