The Importance of Sharing Your Message #FunFriday

Foreign.

This is the no Closer show where you get the latest developments in distressed note investing and learn the secrets of how you can control millions of dollars worth of property for panties on the dollar. Get educated and entertained by someone who has closed thousands of deals and lives to support you in achieving the same. Now, here's your host, CEO of We Close Nodes, Scott Carson.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody. Welcome to this episode of the Note Closer Show. As always, Scott Carson. Excited to be here today. It is Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday. Hopefully you've had a productive week. Hopefully you took some action on Monday. If you didn't take it on Monday, you took it Tuesday or Wednesday. And hopefully you're not showing up Friday here and depressed that you didn't get anything done. But I want to ask you a question because this is something that I've had folks reach out to me. And as I'm working with students, I mean, I get questions all the time from people. And one of the things when people schedule a call with me and you can always do that by going to talkwithscottcarson.com as I try to find them on LinkedIn. If people are opting my website, I try to go connect with people on LinkedIn or Facebook or any of the social media just to see who they are and kind of get people. I mean, if you have a LinkedIn profile, that's the first thing bankers are doing when you reach out to them is they're going to LinkedIn and check you out, see if you pass the snow test. And I'm always amazed. This is scary, but it's probably not a surprise to many of you. I'm always amazed at the amount of lack of people talk about what they're looking for. I mean, if you're a entrepreneur and a business owner, you should be sharing what you do on a regular basis. I mean, if you're a pizza place, guess what, you're sharing pizza. If you're a burger place, you're sharing, you're doing burgers. If you're a mail place, like pack mail, you're sharing that you provide FedEx, right? All these things are out there, right? If you build trucks, your truck dealership, you know, you have to share what the heck you're looking for. You have to put it out there so that people know what the heck to send you deals. Or when they think of notes or they think of real estate, they think of you. And I'm always amazed. People are like, well, I don't find any deals. Well, you never share this is like if you've listened to my previous episodes, you hear one of my biggest pet peeves about note investors that bitch and moan can't find any deals. It's because they're never marketing. So I want to challenge you something on a Friday night. If you're listening after Friday, I want to challenge you to do it whenever you're listening to this episode. Two things, very simple, two things. I want you to pull your phone out, all right? Because if you got a phone with a camera, I want you to flip it either horizontal or vertical, whichever social media platform you're on. And I want you to record a short video and tell people who you are and what you're doing. Okay? If you go over to TikTok or anything, you'll see that I did this as well. Today it's my video of the day that we're sharing across TikTok and LinkedIn and Instagram and stuff like that. I made a challenge to do a short little video and I've done that for 30 days now. But you have to share with everybody out there who you are, what you're looking for and why they need to pay attention when you're talking. Now, if you're doing two things, you may want to share two videos. Hey, I'm a full time realtor and I'm also an investor and this is what I'm looking for, investment models. But if you're trying to buy or sell your home, this one, or I'm a loan officer, if you're looking at buy or sell a home or refinance, I want to be thinking, whatever it might be, you got to share it. People don't aren't psychic to think about you, all right? Unless you share with them. And the people that share what they're focused on, their journey, their target, are the ones that get deals set to more often. That's why we see more deals than anybody else, because we're constantly sharing. And you can see if you're listening to this episode right now, if you ever been on one of my YouTube videos, you see we have the no closer show. We close notes, no night America. We're advertising on a regular basis that brand image green, green, green. We're sending emails out on a regular basis. Talk about what we're looking for, what we're doing. And I'm not telling you, you got to do a whole full court press on all your social media. But if you think about this, when was the last time and maybe you never have, when did you share truly what you're looking for. I'm an REO agent in New York. I deal with foreclosures. If you're looking for deals, please contact me. I'm a New York. I'm a listing agent in Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm an investor in Fort Myers, Florida, which might be a little awash with distress deals with the hurricane, but you get what I'm saying here. So do yourself a favor. This Friday, today, whenever you're listening to it, if it's Friday, great. Friday is the perfect day for you to upload a video. Why? Because people are killing time waiting for that five o' clock bell to ring so they can get the heck out of dodge, start enjoying their weekends. And they're always looking at social media more. So in the afternoon, that's a great time to post. On Friday is like 3 o'. Clock. I would post really after 5 o' clock because people are more focused on getting home to the family and going out doing something fun. But it's good to share on Saturday on LinkedIn. It's good to share on Sunday and LinkedIn. Why? Because nobody is usually posting on Saturday and Sunday even though people are browsing. So do yourself a favor. This doesn't need to be rocket science. It doesn't need to be a freaking long video. It could actually be shorter than this podcast episode, okay? And by that I mean just flip the phone around and I'll give you an example. Hi, my name is Scott Carson, guys and gals. You don't know me. Well, I want to know you. I'm going across the country as the note guy because I buy, I sell and I invest in debt. I buy notes for my own portfolio. I also teach people how to invest, whether you're a brand new investor or a seasoned real estate investor, but don't understand the world of note investing. I teach people how to buy notes through our different classes. But more importantly, I am buying non performing notes and performing notes from banks and hedge funds and other note investors all across the country. And if you've come across a performing note or a non performing note, an owner finance note or a bank trying to sell a note, I would love to talk with you and be the person on your mind that you forward that deal to. Like I said, I buy notes not always looking for the real estate. I am also an investor, real estate investor and I look in a few states, but I'm very, very picky about the property I buy, more so than the notes that I buy. So if you've got a note that you're looking to get rid of a note you're looking to sell. You've got know somebody at Owner Finance and Property trying to sell that note or somebody who's got a non performing note they want to get off their pocket portfolio because of the naughty borrower. I want you to think of the note guy, Scott Carson. So give me a phone call 512-585-3810, comment on this video or email me@scottclosenotes.com and I'd love to talk with you. And if we're friends and equations we haven't spoken a while, I want to catch up to see what you're up to and see how we can leverage each other's networks to make it a win win. So feel free guys. Reach out to me and let's talk. Let's make the most of the situation. I want you to think of notes, I want you to think of my smiling face and that's it. Pretty simple. I know I've done that a million times so it's easier for me, but for you guys, just flip it around. Hey, this is what I'm doing About me. Many of us were consuming social media watching, liking, sharing, commenting. But we're not sharing our own stuff for people to comment on. And so, you know, you don't have to be all gussied up. You can have what we call a work mullet. You could be fancy on top and all, party on the bottom, you know, like we used to with Zoom. Do it in a place that's quiet where they can hear it. But the beautiful thing is you've got a better camera on your smartphone, whether it's an Android or an iPhone. As long as it's not a flip phone from back in the 1990s, you've got a pretty good video and it's pretty easy to upload it straight to your Facebook, to your Instagram, to your Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, straight from your phone. All right, so do want it sideways and then do another one that's horizontal like that. And just share what your focus, share what you're looking for. Everybody should do this and you should do this. Especially if you're passionate about something. Hey, I'm passionate about pet rescue. I'm passionate about cats. I'm passionate about llamas. Okay, whatever it is, share what you're passionate about. Share what you you know, folks that know me know that I'm not only passionate about real estate, I'm also passionate about cooking. I like to smoke meat on my grill. I'm also passionate about, you know, cook, recipes, stuff like that. I'm also passionate about travel. I like to have fun and sports as well. So share your personality, share a little bit about what you're doing. Quit just consuming and start creating content. That way you build a deeper relationship, deeper connection with the people that follow you. And if you do this and share what your focus is, share what you're doing, it will go a long way to help you find more deals, raise more capital, and most importantly, build rapport with the people that you're connected to. That's what it's all about. People want to align themselves with like minded individuals that people they like and trust. How do you do that? You got to share what your focus is, share what your story is and share on a regular basis. And so I challenge you to go do this. And if you're going to do this, do me a favor, tag me in your post. Most of the time I'm one ScottCarse across social media and do the hashtag Fun Friday, Fun Friday. Even if you're doing it on Saturday or Sunday or Monday or Tuesday, whatever, you listen to it, hashtag Fun Friday and tag me it. So I keep track of everything and you may never know. I may comment on, I may give you a little surprise. But anyway guys, go out, take some action. This is not meant to be difficult. Literally five minutes and start sharing a little journey and do it the first thing. Hey, tell them a little about you and what your focus is and why they should pay attention when you share something. So go out, take some action. Ready? And we'll see you all at the top. Everybody. Bye.
