<p>From <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/ ">Chris Brogan</a>, December 23, 2009 @ Chrisbrogan.com</p>
<p><strong>If I Were a Realtor</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;d write a blog about the location where I was selling.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d take tons of picture and post them on the blog.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d shoot walking tour videos all the time with a Flip camera and post them.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d shoot interview videos with people from my community.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d host meetups and tweetups for local residents, inviting people who are house hunting.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d find various niche communities (developers,stonemasons, parents) and start community platforms for them on Nin.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d empower as many local businesses onto the Net as I could, and help them get successful.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d encourage as many people in my community to join Twitter as possible, and I&#8217;d bundle them into a list.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d consider setting up hyperlocal news and event sites, or at least empower/support their construction.</li>
<li>I probably wouldn&#8217;t put pictures of me in a tie (or a dress) and write about the rates, I probably wouldn&#8217;t pitch you dozens of time in a row, I probably wouldn&#8217;t just rehash links to listings.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>But that&#8217;s just me! CB</strong></p>
<p>Trust Agents is an incredible book describing how relationship marketing works today.  Check out this link and <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/trust-agents-an-introduction/trackback/ ">watch the 4 minute video</a>. It will be wall worth your time.</p>
<p><strong>Every entrepreneur should read this book!</strong></p>
<p>Trust Agent is an incredible resource bank of information.</p>
<p><strong>So treat yourself for Valentines Day!</strong></p>
<p>Jump back on the wagon and start working a plan, whatever that is for you and makes sense!</p>
<p><strong>So what if it is February!</strong> Each day gives us an opportunity to start anew! <strong>No stress here! </strong></p>

<p><strong>Bottom line is to have fun with your plan, whatever that may be! </strong></p>
