Even after the 9/11. It dropped off for a while, but only a short while, it's back near the top again. Knowing this, I have two new web sites planned that are goingto be on travel themes. I won't tell you what they are just yet,but I will tell you how you to can capitalize on this theory, andhow we can work as a group to cross promote each other.My problem is that I just can't find the time to get them done.But that's my problem, and I'll find a way to make it work.I want you to think about creating a tourist guide book aboutan area that you know fairly well. In other words, if somebodywanted to travel to Atlanta, Georgia for whatever reason, whatshould they see and do while they are there?But I think your guide book should be very different from the tourist information that is already available. Sure you canmention all the big attractions, museums etc. But it shouldalso list the things that you do in your area for fun, that arenot typically listed in tourist information packages.Not only could you offer hotel/motel listings, but you couldalso tell them why they should stay in a given area. For me, trying to decide which hotel to pick is alwaysextremely difficult. All you have to go by is the advertising createdby the hotel. Wouldn't it be nice to have an unbiased opinionat least about what area would be best for the kind of activitiesyou plan to do?For instance, in the Cleveland area there is a little tinyamusement place that has batting cages, bumper boats,go carts, and video type games.It's not a big place, but the last time I was there they had adeal on the go carts where you could buy an all day passfor about $18.00 and ride the carts as many times as youlike.Now that may not appeal to you, but for a family with go cartage children that would be an absolute hoot!There is also a little place where you can play polo with dodgem type cars. These fun places are never advertised in tourist packages.Have a section for seniors, a section for families with smallchildren, a section for families with teenage children, and asection for young adults.I don't think we can get $39.97 for these little E-books, butI think we could sell a ton of them at $11.97 to $19.97.And if you create a small web site exclusively dedicated tothis one location, it is quite possible that you could get asignificant amount of traffic from the search engines.Let's say that 100 of us did this, and each one of us had aweb site that was exclusive to a specific location, and weall used Clickbank to sell our E-books. We could all havehoplinks to each others sites, and earn commission from thesale of each others E-books.Just by joining in on this idea, you could almost instantly have100 products that you could be making money on.The chances of selling our own E-book at full price would be very strong, because the visitor had an interest in our locationto begin with. But when people are just in the planning stagesof a vacation, they are weighing all their options, and very wellcould buy a number of E-books before deciding on their finaldestination.And when you really think about, it only makes sense to doso. If you're going to spend $2,000. to $5,000. for a familyvacation, wouldn't it be smart to invest $100. or more to makesure you have a great time. And even if they only vacation toone of the cities they considered, they have already donemost of the research for next years vacation.I won't tell you that you can get rich on this brainstorm of mine,but maybe you can make a few bucks. What if somebody else is already doing the area or city that youwanted to do?It doesn't matter. Do it any way. You will have your own website, and your own independent marketing. The only thing you will be doing is cross promoting each other, and you onlyhave to do that if you choose to. But think about this.If I am going to travel to New Orleans, I am going to spend aconsiderable amount of money just getting there. Then I amgoing to spend a whole bunch more money while I am there,or I'm not going.Would I buy two homemade tourist guides before making thattrip? You bet I would. If I'm going on vacation I don't want tomiss a thing while I'm there!What did I leave out?You can also sell advertising in your tour guide, that should bring in a few thousand. You could buy a van and give tours of the area.You could open a bed and breakfast.You could do a ton of things! Article Tags: Think About Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
