Don't buy Greg Clement's SIMS or Realeflow without checking here to see if you can actually use it in your real estate business.

Internet marketing for real estate investors and real estate professionals is a very hot topic, but very few programs and educators live up to the hype of sales copy and the "easy-button" images they create in the prospects' minds.

Is SIMS just another hype-filled, sizzle-packed, over-bragged marketing scam, or can this system actually make your marketing easier and more effective?

Greg Clement who has a strong background in buying and selling houses, as well as lending, has partnered with internet marketing legend Jeff Walker ("Product Launch Formula") to create the SIMS system.

First, no matter if you have an existing business or are looking to start a new one, Realeflow and SIMS is for you only if you are planning to generate lots of leads. Now - wait a minute - that's not fluff, so don't say "Duh!" just yet.

Seriously, I know many investors who are running their investment activities on the side, getting agents to bring them a deal every now and then and that's it. If your real estate investing model works like that you won't need this system.

However, if you know that your business model is struggling because you don't have enough leads come in, or if you plan on doing lots of deals each month, you should take a closer look.

Let's look at a typical marketing and deal matrix. Let's say you want to do two deals per month. Assuming your marketing is very targeted and you have a great presentation to convert owners into sellers. So, in this case your get two deals out of every 20 owners who contact you. For 20 owners to contact you, you will need get your marketing message seen by an average of 700 to 2000 targeted prospects.

Using internet marketing strategies to get to these numbers is not all that difficult, but you need a system that has many components all put together in the exactly right way to make sense.

Greg Clement's SIMS (Smart Internet Marketing Solution) introduces you to the Internet Marketing Business Model and how it applies to real estate investing.

The system comes with six content-rich modules with the following subjects. Module 1 talks about Web sites, "squeeze pages" and blogs and how to set them up and use them. Module 2 teaches you everything about video marketing, which you can use to market properties as well as yourself. Module 3 introduces "Web 2.0" and social networking. Module 4 is about "Influence and Persuasion" and is mostly covered by Jeff Walker. Module 5 teaches a multitude of ways to generate internet traffic to your web sites. And finally Module 6 is entitled "Property Launch Formula". This module introduces a system for selling properties extremely quickly. At the same time, each property will generate dozens if not hundreds of leads for motivated buyers.

Pros:

The content of all modules is presented in a very professional membership area and consists of videos, audios and reading material, including ready-made templates for all marketing components. The content is easy to understand, digest and put into action.

Cons:

If you expect a system that doesn't require any effort and will work at the push of a button, SIMS is not for you. This is definitely not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. But if you can follow instructions and commit to a marketing plan that will help boost your business results, you should seriously consider SIMS.
