How it All Started for Ron Douglas

Ron’s journey into real estate began with an unexpected turn of events. His family was facing foreclosure on their house—the same house that his mother had inherited from his grandfather—so Ron stepped in to take control of the situation. He managed to save the house before it went into foreclosure and realized that there was potential for him to make money from buying and selling properties. As a result, he decided to pursue real estate as a career path.

Creating a Digital Marketing Business

Ron went on to develop his own digital marketing business in 2001. He started out as an affiliate marketer and then quickly moved onto creating his own products, listing them on Clickbank and selling digital products, supplements and cookbooks. Ron was able to build a large audience by using copycat versions of people’s favorite recipes and teaching them how to replicate their favorite dishes at home. Ron attributes much of his success in this area to the power of research—the more he researched online, the better he was able to create content that resonated with his audience.

Buying Properties Slowly But Surely

When asked about how he has achieved success in buying properties, Ron has stated that slow but steady progress is key. He currently owns 40 units but believes that patience is essential when building a portfolio of properties—especially for those just starting out. According to him, “Money that comes from the rents are always enough to cover the headache for me”. This advice resonates with many entrepreneurs looking to establish themselves in the property market without taking on too much risk at once.

Ron’s Biggest Mistake

Despite achieving great success with investing in real estate over time, Ron still believes that one of his biggest mistakes was buying property in a neighborhood where mentality was very different from what he was used to—this made it difficult for him to collect rent from tenants living there. This serves as an important reminder for aspiring investors; research should always be done prior to committing your money so you can avoid making any costly mistakes down the line.

But Ron didn't stop there - he took his knowledge of digital marketing and used it to reach millions of consumers around the world with his own products. He has since gone on to become a New York Times best-selling author and host the popular WebinarCon event every year. The event is an exclusive gathering for the top webinar professionals, and tickets cost $5000 each.

When it comes to webinar things vs Tiktok, Reels and Youtube shorts, Ron believes that webinars are the natural form of motivating people to take action before the end of the particular event. However, he also acknowledges that using platforms such as TikTok, Reels and Youtube Shorts can be a great way to build an audience and bond with them so they can recognize your brand.

Ron has been able to successfully use a combination of both webinars and other digital platforms to build a successful empire. He understands the importance of converting people who watch replays or live events, as both can bring great success. For instance, Ron puts a lot of emphasis on creating content that people can consume at their own time, which allows for more audience engagement and conversion.

One tip that Ron gives is to keep webinars as short as possible. Really engaging content should not take more than 45 minutes. After that, it's better to move into a call-to-action such as offering a payment link or taking questions from the audience. A shorter webinar can help keep your viewers engaged and focused on what you want them to do, so consider making those presentations snappy.

Ron Douglas also suggests setting a price point that is realistic, yet still high enough to be profitable. If you're just starting out in webinars, it's important to remain competitive so that your events stand out from the rest. He recommends using a pricing structure for each event, as this promotes more purchases and allows for better budgeting and planning.

In addition to working on his own projects, Ron has spoken at conferences and given interviews about how to make money online, the power of digital marketing and other topics related to entrepreneurship. He has also released several training courses and products that teach people how to create digital businesses and generate more money online. With these offerings, he is able to share his knowledge with others and help them reach their goals of success.
