- Link buyers and sellers
You can also link buyers and sellers of products like land and cars. In addition, you can advertise houses for sale/rent.
In one of my websites, there is an article I wrote about houses to let in Nairobi, I left my contact there to deliberately see whether someone would call me. Within a week, I had received over 10 calls. It reached a point I removed my phone number from the article because the calls were too many. This shows that Kenyans are hungry for a website that will connect people who want to rent houses and vacant houses especially in middle class estates.
You can do the business on Facebook/Twitter and through a blog.
