If You Don’t Have A Website
Here Are the Facts:
Only about 35% of New Businesses SURVIVE their first year and less than 20%
SURVIVE after 2 years due to inexperience in MARKETING!
Most Businesses will FAIL without a website! Simply put, if you have a business
today, you need a website. Period! 64% of Businesses Fail because of POOR
Marketing!
If your business isn’t using social media, then you’ll probably be obsolete in 3-5
years!
Most Business Owners don’t know how to market their business and spend way
too much time perfecting their craft! Real Estate Investors spend their precious
time and money on outdated marketing techniques that simply don’t work
anymore!

Social Media
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Why Social Media?
You will find whomever you want to do
business with somewhere online.
You can reach your market by simply engaging in the
right conversations with the right people. This is more
effective than advertising.
Social Media provides the means to effectively
communicate with your market.
