You should look into Facebook ads. With a very small budget, $5-$8 per day, you can generate 15-20 leads per month.
Plus Facebook allows you to target the exact demographic that you want.

@Account Closed I think your approach is completely wrong. You're acting like a sheep and investors don't like to work with newbies/sheep.
You should change your approach. Ask yourself a question "What does every investor/flipper want or need?" Deals
Start marketing for deals. Once you get the deals approach the investors or develop a buyers list. This way you make money on the deal and you start to network with investors. Over time the investors will respect you because you're bringing value to the relationship.
You can then move into flipping and buy/hold strategies as you learn as you go.
Every tool that you need to be successful wholesaling deals is located on BP.
For example, ask @J Scott if he would be interested in working with you if you had a SFH in Walton School district at 200k or how about a property off of Paces Ferry in downtown Vinings.
Or
Call @Joel Owens after you tie up a piece of commercial property at Wendy Hill and Cobb Pkwy or how about Lower Roswell Rd and Johnson Ferry. I'm pretty sure Joel would buy you lunch and be more than willing to discuss terms.
It's all in the approach and you have it backwards.

Josh
How about a Google hangout once a month for pro members. BP could line up a speaker or have a main topic where Pro members could flesh out ideas and bounce ideas off of each other.
As a group we could probably come up with some powerful ideas that BP could then leverage or monetize (ebook, podcast, white papers, how to books...)
I would be more then willing to share online marketing ideas with the Pro members and I'm with Michael on the increase in cost for Pros. You give a lot of value for $150!

I'm with Brandon on this one. However, you might want to build a list of opportunities first. Then analyze each one and see where your money is utilized the best. You might come to the conclusion that its best to stick in the bank and wait for better opportunities.

Online marketing is nothing more than math.
Determine who your customer is and where they are online. Then craft a message that speaks to them directly and use their language.
Whatever your budget is, divide it into at least 6 months. You have to incorporate time in your marketing. Most people blow the budget in the first month.
Test and measure everything, then go back and make tweaks. After the 6 months you'll have a high preforming campaign.
CTR is a valid metric but its not everything. In some instances a low CTR can be one of your best performing keywords.
Post: SEO key words

Are you paying someone for the website and SEO? If so, then they should have done this before you got started.
Google Keyword tool is your best resource. Each page should have a limited number of keywords and rank for those specific words.
Make sure you plan your strategy before the pages are created.

Plenty of free templates and you can buy one for approximately $50.
Just google wordpress templates or optimizepress.
My one recommendation would be to make sure that its a responsive site. You want to cater to mobile search as well. It will help with mobile ranking as well.
Hope that helps

H Tags = header tags
You do if you want to advertise with the search engines. Bing is pretty strict about the privacy policy page. Fairly simple to setup and I would have a link to one.
You might want to think about a footer with service areas. Just another way to build out specific pages for keywords. Then work on your internal page links.
The yellow letters work but a well designed website will compliment the direct mail efforts.

Joe C.
I would put more time into your current website by doing some keyword research, building out additional pages to focus on additional keywords, make sure you use H tags on the website.
Your logo is great but I would add your contact information on the home page. Make sure you make yourself easily accessible.
Hope that helps
