Here’s a thing, if you follow a recipe don’t get greedy and stupid, just do things that are reasonable. Don’t try to get rich quick, if you’re making 10% 15% or 20% on an investment that’s great!

After working for a while with several competitors, real estate investors, and clients, Josh discovered that he had a deep passion for content marketing and video production. Putting the other aspects of real estate on the backbench, he focused on strengthening his content marketing skills, which led to him zeroing in on a sore point for many real estate industry folks, video production.

When it comes to creating contextual; relevant content for your target demographic is going to take you far above what you could possibly imagine when it comes to competing with your competitors. That could be several mediums like writing, video, podcast, etc. This is why knowing your target demographic is so important because if your target demographic is not listening to your podcast then don't put it on your podcast. If they're not reading articles don't put it in your articles. Creating contextual marketing to your target demographic that is relevant to them is important. The purest definition of content marketing is answering the questions of your target demographic or audience has about your industry, services, or products.Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?
