I found out about RelyLocal from my sister-in-law. They are launching a number of opportunities all across the country at the moment and somebody else had already *almost* secured my town. I almost had to beg to be considered, but they had me write a short (1 page) letter describing why I would want to become a RelyLocal owner in the first place. For me, this was easy - it's all about rebuilding the local community! One thing led to another and over the period of a few days, I had a number of phone conversations. One thing led to another and they agreed that I'd be the best person in my area. It was awesome - I felt like I was on American Idol. They have been so supportive ever since!
