Introduction
Before you can start mailing motivated property owners, you’ll need to complete the Setup Wizard. This one-time process walks you through configuring your personal profile, company information, buying and selling brands, websites, phone numbers, and other essential settings.
By the end of this guide, you’ll have your Investment Dominator account fully configured and ready to begin downloading records and sending your first direct mail campaign.
Before You Begin
We recommend having the following ready before starting:
- Your business name or brand (if you have one)
- A business phone number (or virtual phone line)
- A business email address
- A mailing address (virtual mailbox, PO Box, or office address)
- Ideas for your buying and selling website domains
Tip: Don’t worry if you don’t have everything yet. Most settings can be updated later.
Opening the Setup Wizard
When you first log into Investment Dominator, you’ll see the Setup button.
- Click Setup.
- Follow each section of the wizard.
- Complete every step before selecting Complete Setup.
If you no longer see the Setup button but need to run the wizard again, contact Support and we’ll be happy to reset it for you.
Step 1: Complete Your Personal Profile
The first section configures your personal account.
Name
Enter your name exactly as you’d like it to appear on your marketing letters.
You can update this later if needed.
Profile Picture (Optional)
Uploading a profile picture is completely optional.
Your profile picture is not public and is only used within your Investment Dominator account.
Email Address and Phone Number
These are your personal contact details.
They are used for notifications and account management—not on your marketing materials.
You may use your personal:
- Email address
- Phone number
or update them to different contact information if preferred.
Time Zone
Select your personal time zone.
This determines when:
- Tasks are due
- Notifications are displayed
- Time-sensitive features operate
Marketing Signature
Every marketing letter includes a signature.
You can either:
- Generate a digital signature
- Upload an image of your handwritten signature
Either option works well since this is intended as a marketing signature.
How Will You Use Investment Dominator?
Choose whichever best describes you:
- Individual
- Company / DBA
- Not Sure Yet
This selection does not restrict any features.
You can change this later if your business structure changes.
Step 2: Enter Your Company Information
Unlike your personal profile, this information is customer-facing.
It appears on:
- Marketing letters
- Websites
- Business communications
Company Phone Number
Avoid using your personal phone number.
Instead, we recommend using virtual business phone numbers.
Recommended Three-Line Setup
For maximum flexibility, use three separate business phone numbers:
| Phone Line | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Company Line | General business contact |
| Offer Line | Incoming offer requests from sellers |
| Sales Line | Buyer inquiries about properties for sale |
Why Three Phone Numbers?
Using separate phone numbers allows you to:
- Keep your business organized
- Delegate offer intake to a virtual assistant or AI service
- Handle negotiations yourself
- Separate buyer calls from seller calls
Although one phone number will work, using separate lines makes it much easier to scale your business later.
Company Email
Use a business email whenever possible.
Examples:
If you’re just getting started, a free Gmail account works perfectly fine.
Examples:
Company Address
This address appears as your return mailing address.
We recommend not using your personal home address.
Instead, consider using:
- Office address
- PO Box
- Virtual mailbox
Virtual mailboxes are especially popular because they:
- Receive your mail
- Scan incoming mail
- Email the scans directly to you
Company Time Zone
Unlike your personal time zone, the company time zone appears on your marketing materials.
Choose the time zone that best matches when you want sellers to call.
For example:
- Eastern Time if marketing primarily on the East Coast
- Pacific Time if operating primarily in the western United States
Step 3: Configure Your Buying Business
This section prepares the acquisition side of your business.
Buying Brand
Your buying brand is the name sellers will recognize.
Examples include:
- Your Name
- Your Company Name
- A DBA
- A marketing brand
Choose something:
- Professional
- Easy to remember
- Easy to pronounce
You can change your buying brand later if needed.
Buying Website Domain
Investment Dominator includes a free buying website.
Choose a domain name that matches your buying brand.
For example:
YourBusinessBuysLand.comClick Check Availability.
If available:
- Register the domain.
- Investment Dominator automatically connects it to your website.
Important: Your subscription includes one free buying domain. If you change it later, you’ll need to purchase the replacement domain yourself.
Using an Existing Domain
Already own a domain?
You can connect it to Investment Dominator by updating its DNS records.
Supported domain providers include GoDaddy and many others.
If you need assistance connecting an existing domain, contact Support.
Offer Phone
Enter the phone number sellers should call after receiving an offer.
This is typically your negotiation line.
Offer Email
You may use:
- The same business email
- A separate email just for offers
Both options work.
Real Estate License Disclosure
If you’re a licensed real estate agent or broker:
- Enable the disclosure
- Review the default wording
- Modify it if required by your attorney or local regulations
If you are not licensed, simply select No.
Step 4: Configure Your Selling Business
Next, you’ll configure the disposition side of your business.
Selling Brand
Create a separate brand for marketing properties you sell.
Examples:
- Your Business Sells Land
- Your Business Properties
Keeping buying and selling brands separate helps maintain a more professional appearance.
Selling Website Domain
Investment Dominator also includes a free selling website.
Choose a domain that complements your selling brand.
Examples:
YourBusinessSellsLand.comRegister the available domain during setup.
Sales Phone
Enter the phone number buyers should call when they’re interested in purchasing one of your properties.
This should normally be your dedicated sales line.
Sales Email
We recommend using a separate email for selling activities.
For example:
sales@yourdomain.comKeeping buying and selling communications separate makes your business easier to manage.
Step 5: Review Your Settings
Before completing setup:
- Verify your contact information
- Review your branding
- Double-check your phone numbers
- Confirm your websites
- Verify your email addresses
If anything needs to change, simply click Edit.
When everything looks correct, click Complete Setup.

A typical workflow is:
- Download prospect records.
- Send your first mailing campaign.
- Receive calls from interested sellers.
