My aim: I want to build a Zillow (real estate listing site) for a certain region I have my eyes on. They have lots of real estate companies but not a single place with all the listings.
My problem: I'm not sure how I can get the first few clients. I was thinking of @Fox's approach to sell using past results and offering free value first, so I plan to bring results to a few clients first then use those results to sell to the others. I'm also considering something @Andy Black said in one of his videos where he called businesses already having customers for them (as opposed to, 'hey, if you work with me I might be able to bring you more business').
Combining these two ideas, I am thinking of building my zillow, posting some properties from a few realtors, running ads to draw traffic, then only when I can say, 'hey, I have some people interested in X,Y,Z properties, here is their information' do I approach the realtors. My big problem with this idea is that it's probably not legal to just copy a few property listings belonging to someone else. Can you think up any other way(s) to approach this?
