Beginning Wholesaling: Website

[Austin Bright]

Hi All,

I'm am very busy in my full time job (12hrs+ on the regular), so I would likely to focus on marketing channels that are mostly automated including:

1. -Direct Mail (in progress)
2. -a Website (I'm using blogger at the moment) 
3. -An undecided 3rd channel (RVM perhaps?, opinions?)

I would like to find a way to drive more traffic to my website, but a service like Google Adwords is out of my budget at the moment. 3 Questions.

1) How else can I drive traffic to my blog? Right now, I'm writing posts that I think could be useful to a motivated seller. I also have google forms embedded into the blog so I can collect information from the seller.

2) How can I compete with other Investors that use website consultants like Carrot, given I'm not a web dev? I would be willing to use them at some point to transition to a more professional website. However, I'm hoping the direct mail can generate some revenue first, so I can fund more marketing channels like this.

3) Given the above, does it make sense to hold off on a blog/website all together until I can fund a proper one? I don't want a "sloppy" or amateurish reputation.
