Agent X wanted to expand her marketing and build a secondary client base of people interested in moving to her town in addition to her mainstream business.

After looking at various solutions, Agent X decided that the simplest and least expensive was to keep a daily diary online of the events and developments happening around her so out-of-town prospects could learn more about their new home.

Every time something significant happened that might interest her clients Agent X wrote about it on her blog.

Soon after, she was receiving more inquiries for real estate and those people often remarked at how knowledgeable and involved she seemed to be in the community.

Agent X developed a nice side-stream business and increased her profile in the community by sharing news and opinions in a way people found enjoyable to read.
