There is actually a Facebook page in my town where people sell things to each other.
If they are interested in selling to a wider audience Bitcoin would allow them to receive payments from anywhere in the world.

Easiest way for those in your town to exchange the local currency (US dollars?) for bitcoin, and bitcoin for local currency is for them to do it through you. Get yourself a supply of bitcoin, and offer to exchange with anyone local. Perhaps even list BUY and SELL ads on https://localbitcoins.com/
The blockchain.info Wallet App is currently the best way to exchange bitcoin with an iPhone.
The best reasons for a shop to accept bitcoin is the low fees and low fraud rate. Any shop that accepts credit/debit cards is already paying more in fees and taking on more fraud risk than they would with bitcoin. If they believe in the future success of bitcoin, then the improving exchange rate would be a good reason as well. Furthermore, if bitcoin starts to "catch on" in your town, then any business that accepts bitcoin can also offer to sell bitcoin increasing their sales opportunities and providing an incentive for individuals to come to their shop.
There is a trade-off between ease-of-use and cost. The easiest way for a business to implement bitcoin is to contact BitPay and have them take care of the implementaion. In that case the fees will be higher and there won't be quite as much benefit as compared to credit cards.

So in short...
1. Get as many people to make wallets as I can
2. Try to sell BitCoins myself
3. Hope people notice it's worth doing.
I am thinking about doing something like a stock broker thing as well.
Is there a way I could do this with a Card reader?

I moved the thread. Any ideas?
The town I live in is VERY small and not much goes on here.
Thanks for your enthusiasm, though I usually go to the press section to find out: What does the New York Times write about Bitcoin?What does CNN write about Bitcoin?
Was Bitcoin covered in the news lately?
I think that you would get LOTS of help if you posted it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0 on the Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Bitcoin Discussion. What do you think?
This thread should not belong to press section
It's about the publication and spreading of Bitcoin, so I think it fits. 
This thread should not belong to press section
No one can help me?
The town I live in is VERY small and not much goes on here. Most people have computers, but don't use them very often... I have already started a Facebook group and will be sharing daily BTC ups and downs, as well as faucets and other things for people to use to peak interest.
1) How can I get people to understand the value of the BitCoin stock market. I know how to explain that it changes, but how can I get them to understand that it is EASY. That is the big point. How do I get their money into coins and coins into money the easiest, and let them know how it can happen in a simpe way. HOW can that happen?
2) How do I get retail locations to start accepting Bitcoin. What is the best reason? And what is the simplest way for them to do it?
3) What is the best way to exchange bitcoins Iphone to Iphone
