      <title>Initial Launch Advertising Costs</title>
      <link>http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/455/blog_posts/1530-initial-launch-advertising-costs</link>
      <guid>http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/455/blog_posts/1530-initial-launch-advertising-costs</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Below is a chart of my advertising costs for my initial launch.&amp;nbsp; I project the launch to take place by July 1, 2009 as still I await my tax refund and I&amp;rsquo;m accounting for the turn-around time to receive all materials.&amp;nbsp; I hate that I keep delaying the official launch.&amp;nbsp; But it&amp;rsquo;s, what I feel, to be the right decision.&amp;nbsp; I need every aspect of my business to meet my high standards before I get into the full swing of things.&amp;nbsp; The cliche of, &amp;ldquo;you never get a second chance to make a good first impression&amp;rdquo;, applies to business as well.&amp;nbsp; I refuse to be one of those small-business owners that present themselves in an unprofessional manner.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The table wouldn't import so you may view it at the following link: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;http://www.justinmcclelland.com/?p=126&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find my Marketing scheme as it stands, quite confusing.&amp;nbsp; This is bad because I came up with it.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s a bit complex due to the fact that I&amp;rsquo;m marketing to different parties at once; homeowners, non-owner occupied property owners, landlords, property scouts (birddogs), fellow wholesalers, and other business professionals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make it more clear for myself, I&amp;rsquo;m going to draw up a visual aid that will display what advertising component is aimed where and how each lead from the various advertising methods will be refined.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;ll post the visual of the entire scheme and the advertising media displayed in the table above will make more sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I&amp;rsquo;m finding it extremely hard to blog every two days.&amp;nbsp; Blogging is underestimated; this is hard-work in itself.&amp;nbsp; But I will indeed get my blog frequency where it needs to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Justin&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The Journey Starts Now</title>

      <guid>http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/455/blog_posts/1480-the-journey-starts-now</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I started this blog to document my entrepreneurship journey as I launch a Real Estate Investment Company. While I&amp;rsquo;m not quite at the very beginning the road, I figure that it&amp;rsquo;s not too late to start. I hope to gain some powerful insight and network with other business professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Justin McClelland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwaps &lt;br /&gt;907 West Marketview Drive &lt;br /&gt;Suite 10-341 &lt;br /&gt;Champaign, IL 61822   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Office Phone: 	217-693-3838 &lt;br /&gt;Mobile Phone: 	217-553-9177 &lt;br /&gt;Fax Number: 	217-239-0778&lt;a href="http://www.schwaps.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.schwaps.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.justinmcclelland.com/"&gt;www.justinmcclelland.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
