Be Seen Everywhere
Be Trusted by Everyone
Be Active Without the Effort
"By using you to go out and get all these videos and gather all this information for us, and to create a website that is just unbelievable, it's going to help me broaden my horizons and build my name brand even more, and I just don't know what I'd do without you. "
- Melissa Plant, Coldwell Banker J. David Thompson, Realty
What Happens When Someone Else Becomes the Trusted Local Expert?
Video isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore. It’s the most powerful way to build trust with buyers and sellers online — and according to recent data, video content builds trust nearly 60% faster than static posts or images alone.
That means agents who show up in high-quality video are getting ahead — fast. They're becoming the known names, the trusted faces, the ones people feel confident calling when it's time to buy or sell.
And the rest? They’re invisible.
This isn’t about having a bigger ad budget. It’s about showing up smarter. Because no billboard, flyer, or social media post can create the connection that video can — especially when it’s polished, well-scripted, and seen everywhere your ideal client is looking.
The agents in this program will be seen. They’ll be heard. And they’ll be trusted long before the competition even knows a buyer or seller is watching.
There are only 30 seats. And they’re going fast.

F.A.Q.
1. How much content can I be in?
As much as you want. There’s no cap on involvement — the more you show up, the more exposure you get. This is a very aggressive program, so you will have plenty of opportunities to be involved. Some agents may want to be featured several times per month, while others may prefer to only pop in now and then. The system supports both.
2. Do I have to be in a certain number of videos?
No. There’s no required minimum. However, the more you participate, the more consistent your visibility becomes — and that’s what leads to trust and leads. You control how often you're involved.
3. What if I’m not comfortable being on camera or I can’t travel to filming locations often?
No problem. We create lots of local content that doesn’t require you to be on site. You can still be featured through narration, B-roll, sit-down clips in your office, or remote voiceover-style videos.
4. Is this just a video program? Or is there more to it?
This is a full exposure engine. Your content is featured on YouTube, Facebook, and LifeInSouthernIllinois.com — and you're also provided with ready-to-share social clips, blog content, and a personal agent page on the website. This isn't just marketing. This is branding, visibility, and lead-generation in one.
5. Will other agents from competing brokerages be involved too?
Yes. This program is open to qualified agents across brokerages. However, each agent will have their own personal content and bio page — and you’ll never be asked to appear in a video with a direct competitor unless you specifically want to. The video clips that you are personally in are yours and yours alone. No agent will be able to use your video clips in their videos.
6. What does it cost to be involved?
There’s no separate fee to be featured on LifeInSouthernIllinois.com. All we ask is that you are a Perpetual Agent Pro+ member (https://www.perpetualmediaservices.com/perpetual-agent-pro) and use Perpetual Media Services for your listing photos and/or videos/360° tours, etc. (See our prices and full range of services here: https://www.perpetualmediaservices.com/). The visibility you get through LifeInSouthernIllinois.com is just one of many benefits that come with your PAP membership and in choosing to partner with us.
7. Is this a long-term contract?
Nope. You’re in control of your involvement. If you ever choose to leave the program, you’re removed from future content rotation and your agent page will be removed the website. But we’re confident you’ll love what it does for your business an that you'll never want to leave. :)
8. How are agents chosen for specific video features or locations?
Good news—you’re never restricted by location or topic. If you want to create content for Carterville, Harrisburg, Marion, or even for scenic destinations like Garden of the Gods or Ferne Clyffe—you can. We encourage you to be in as as much content as you want, for any town, attraction, or area you want to work in.
Whether you live there, grew up there, or simply want to attract buyers and sellers there—you’re welcome to participate in as many videos and locations as you choose.
Every agent is treated like an individual client. No agent is favored over another, and there are no limits on how many towns or topics you can feature or how many videos you can be part of.
If you have ideas for new towns, landmarks, parks, or businesses you’d like to highlight—we’re all ears. You’re encouraged to suggest new places for future features. We’re building momentum together — and your exposure grows with every piece you participate in.
9. How will people find these videos?
Our strategy is designed to get your content seen—and seen by the right people. Every video we create is crafted to rank on Google and YouTube for the search terms buyers and sellers are actually typing into search bars every day. When content is high-quality, properly optimized, and engaging, it boosts SEO, helps you show up in searches, and builds momentum over time.
Plus, we don’t stop at organic reach. We are creating:
SEO-driven YouTube content with keywords tied to local real estate searches so that we show up strong on Google
Distribution across Facebook, Instagram, and the LifeInSouthernIllinois.com website
Paid ad campaigns to drive additional traffic and accelerate awareness faster
Between SEO, social distribution, and paid amplification, your content will hit audiences from multiple angles and multiple platforms — giving you real visibility in a crowded market.
10. How will this actually help me get leads?
People do business with those they know, like, and trust — and that’s exactly what this platform is built to create.
In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors, 73% of homeowners say they want to see more real estate agents active on social media.
They don’t just want your face on a billboard — they want to see you, hear you, and feel connected to you before they ever reach out.
With LifeInSouthernIllinois.com:
Every video links to your personal agent page on the LISI website where visitors can access your contact details
Your LISI bio page also links directly to your custom website (that we build for you) which also has a built-in contact form
Leads who are watching, liking, and trusting you can call, email, or reach out directly — no middlemen, no delays
This isn't just advertising — it’s relationship building at scale. You'll stand out as a real, relatable expert — living, breathing, talking, educating, entertaining — while your competition still relies on over priced billboards and expensive cold ads. This is high production value, long-lasting, momentum-building content designed to pre-sell you to the market before you ever even meet them. If you want to make your mark and own your market share, this is how you do it.
11. What if I'm not sure what to say or how to prepare for a video?
Don’t worry—you’ll have help every step of the way. Before each shoot, you’ll get a list of video angles to choose from—like "Top 5 Reasons to Move to Johnston City" or "What to Know Before Moving to Harrisburg" or "My Favorite Recreational Spots in Williamson County" (and the list goes on and on forever...).
We’ll also provide you with bullet points, full scripts, and/or creative prompts to help you plan what you want to say. You’re encouraged to personalize your talking points and make them your own, but we’ll make sure you’re never stuck or confused.
Plus, if you have a new creative idea for a video angle, we're 100% open to it. This is a team effort, and your input helps make the platform stronger.
12. Will I have advance notice about video shoot opportunities?
Absolutely. We organize filming days at key locations ahead of time and give agents the chance to sign up for time slots.
You’ll always know what kind of content is being filmed, where it’s happening, and what types of videos are planned. This gives you plenty of time to prepare and decide if you want to participate.
No last-minute surprises, no pressure. Whether you want to participate often or just now and then, you’ll always be able to plan it into your schedule comfortably. Also, not every video you feature in has to be shot on site. As we said before, many scripts can be shot in one location and the rest of the video can be created from our own growing library of southern Illinois stock footage and photos.
