GOKCE KNOWLEDGE CLASS: 31 LESSONS I LEARNED SELLING MY FIRST 500 PROPERTIES ONLINE
IN THE PAST 4 YEARS, I SOLD ~500 PROPERTIES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I LEARNED?
When I bought my first few properties my biggest fear was marketing.
I had just spent a ton of money on a lot.
What if I can’t sell it?
Will I be stuck with it forever?
Perhaps you too are struggling with this anxiety.
Maybe it’s even keeping you from starting your real estate business.
Well, I can tell you that after selling almost 500 vacant land properties, this has never happened to me.
I have never been stuck with a property.
But I did make a lot of mistakes along the way.
Want to learn from them so you too can sell more properties?

Why make the same mistakes that someone else did?
When you learn from others you can fast track your own process and start selling more properties fast.
MLS?
Are you used to simply posting your properties or listings on the MLS?
Are you wondering why this isn’t working as well as it used to?
Times are changing and we all need to add a bit more OMPH to our sales strategy to move properties like we used to.
And this means branching out into:
Email marketing
YouTube and video content
SEO
Email marketing
Ebook creation
Blog writing
Database design
Metrics tracking
And more!
All of this is to say that I found I must be a full-on digital marketer as a land investor.
And I imagine the same is true for real estate agents.
Sadly, I didn’t come from a marketing background, so I had a steep learning curve.
I’m guessing this is the same for you.
And this is why I want to share my learnings with you – so you can have a solid base as you start to incorporate digital marketing techniques into your real estate business.
My aim is to impart the marketing techniques and theory I learned in an easy-to-digest way by sharing stories of mistakes and lessons I learned while selling properties in the real world.
This way, you can see the concepts put into practice before you try them!
PLUS A BONUS!
Of course, no story can replace a real-life, flesh-and-blood guide when you get down to the messy business of actually selling real estate.
So, do you want personal help with your land sales?
Well, you’re in luck!
I have included a forum as an added bonus with your purchase of this product.
You can message me through each course module and I will try to respond within 24 hours.
If you have any questions about your own sales, you can also email me directly!
You also get a FREE 30-MINUTE CONSULTING CALL as part of your purchase.
So you have access to my direct knowledge FOR FREE.
REVIEWS FROM EXISTING STUDENTS
THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL COURSE!
But I should clarify – this is NOT a traditional course.
I want to be clear off the bat that this is not a roadmap to grow sales….
Rather, it is a series of 31 stories of mistakes I made while selling land, each one ending with an action I took to improve my sales process.
The stories are designed to get you thinking – some may cause you to take direct action, while others may not be relevant at all….
But either way, the goal is to share my experience, not tell you what to do.
I do know that there are a lot of courses out there that offer to help your business, and it probably feels scary to put a few hundred dollars down on a product that does not promise magic results.
This is why I’ve also included a forum option in this course as a BONUS.
I have also priced the course low enough that you only need to gain ONE extra sale based on the information I provide to get your money back.
And I’m going to share one of the 31 stories below, so you can preview it and determine whether the course is right for you.
Simply click on the podia link below to see the course content along with the previewable video to get a sense of whether my style, experience, and knowledge will be helpful for you.
WHO AM I?
In case you don’t know me, I’m Erika Benson, Co-founder of Gokce Capital LLC.
My business is all about buying and selling land – and in the last four years, I’ve sold almost 500 properties.
That’s over 100 properties a year.
So I’ve learned a lot about selling vacant land in particular.
But that also means I’ve made plenty of mistakes.
As I grew my business, I often turned to personal stories from other entrepreneurs, land investors, marketers, and real estate agents.
This is why I wanted to pay it forward and share some of my own stories and lessons learned.
My hope is that whether you are starting, growing, or perfecting your real estate business, the lessons in this course will help you tweak and optimize your sales machine.
