Start a "travel-related online business" WITHOUT having to become a travel agent.

The feeling of anticipation when you're getting close.

Familiar sounds and smells. Memories rushing back.

Back to all your special places, greeting the locals you've come to know.

Share all that with others who want to know what you do. Write your travel expenses off (tax deductions!) as you write about your passion. Best of all, build a thriving online business doing it!

You don't have to be a travel agent or travel consultant to help people with their vacation plans. (We discuss becoming a home-based travel agent, on this other page)

Generally speaking, travel agents are required to know a little about a lot of places... sort of "Jacks (and Jills) of all places, masters of none."

But, unlike a 'regular' travel agent, you specialize in your destination. It's your "niche" -- a place you know better than the back of your hand. Use that hand and the other to keyboard your way to travel profits..... using, of course, Site Build It.

No Expensive "Marketing Secrets" Sold Here

What's the "secret"? Your passion and inside knowledge, combined with all the tools you need to build your Travel Website and overcome the tech barriers. That's it. Here's the bottom line...

Your site will not be an encyclopedia, nor will it be yet another general travel guide/service. It won't be as slick as the "official government tourist site."

But it will be loved.

Instead of being "encyclopedic," covering only the basics in an impersonal voice, you reveal little-known, real insider secrets about the area. You write in your own, very real voice, in your own way. Visitors to your site experience the destination like you do, like a local does!

For example...

Puerto Rico is Luisa's niche, the place she grew up and returns to whenever possible. Luisa's site helps people from all over the world who want to know more about visiting the Puerto Rican island of Vieques...

Your Site Does Not Have To Be About A Destination

Do you have specialized knowledge about a certain type of travel (rather than a destination)?

Through your themed site, interact with other adventurers who, just like you, plan their vacations around their passions, such as...

• European castles
• scuba diving destinations
• world's best beaches
• cycling and/or hiking routes
• extreme adventure travel
• five star powder skiing
• eco tours, etc.

Share Your "Inside Knowledge"

More and more, when travelers are looking for in-depth, pertinent information to plan their trip, they turn to the Internet. They skim the brochure sites put out by the "official" sites, the impersonal country or city coverage of wikipedia, and other "bigco" travel guides.

You, though, become their friend. Their best friend who knows. Of course, you do have to know. There is no faking it.

But it's totally do-able. How many teenagers do you know who virtually own the online market for a Caribbean island? The site is full of been-there, done-that... every square inch of the island.

Yes, you can do this, too. Here's a sampling of travel sites that are in the Top 1% of all sites in the world, all created by everyday people with a travel passion using Site Build It!.

The Web Is All About Supply and Demand of Information

Be the source! You have the inside knowledge travelers seek.

Your firsthand experience makes you the expert. Save people time and expense by providing details to help them plan a "perfect-fit" trip... so they can create their own memories.

Travel and vacations may only last a week or two, but most people dream about the possibilities all year long. Fuel their desire...

Captivate your audience...

• They want to see your adventure photos and hear about the treasures you found if it will enhance their trip.
• They want to know about the best room or floor to request in a beach-side inn.
• Tell them the best table to request and the chef's best dish at your favorite restaurants.
• Of course, they need to know the must-snorkel beaches, but tell them which ones are busts, too.
• Off-season stories? Who ever has those? You do! Great and wonderful experiences happen when a place is not crowded with tourists. Tell folks all about it.
• The opportunities are endless... real estate investment and villa rentals, special events/festivals/night life, shops/markets/galleries -- special, experienced content makes all the difference.

This is the kind of information that wins hearts. And once you've done that, you are one short step away from monetizing. More on that soon!

And what if Pittsburgh is all you know?

Born and raised there? Work there?

Great news!

Locations that don't grab the headlines receive millions of visitors per year, too!

They may not be as "sexy," but they can earn you significant income.

No matter what you cover in your site, visitors want the "little things," insider tips offered from the perspective of personal experience. For example, let's head back to "the islands"...

When you tell your visitors that Island Car Rental will leave the keys under the windshield visor on the Sunday of your arrival and you can come in anytime to fill in the paper work, they love it. Fodor's doesn't tell them that.

Nor does it tell them about the dangerous cliff hike to the tip of the island and how to do it.

Share your knowledge with a genuine love of your destination or theme, which translates through your stories (as Luisa's Vieques site does). That's what makes a personal travel Web site so effective...

It's real. It's heartfelt. And it inspires.

Compare that to the tone of a corporate tourism or government site on that same area. Is there passion? Does it inspire? No...

There is an abundance of facts on the high glitz government sites created by high-priced, New York agencies. Very professional, but no soul.

And travelers are looking for "soul."

How to Go From Sharing info to Earning income

Writing about your favorite spot, sharing, is nice. It's a hobby.

Earning growing income, month after month, by providing high-value content, is business.

Your business.

But how do you earn an income by simply writing about your favorite place?

The key is to build a web site that gets traffic. Like any business, you need visitors in order to make money. You don't own your business online if you don't generate and own your own, free traffic from Search Engines.

Here's how it works...

You will build YOUR web site using: Site Build It!

Site Build It! sites get found. Great Content builds targeted Traffic that is PREsold. That traffic Monetizes through money-making tools such as Google AdSense, finders/referrers fees, advertising, affiliate programs, etc.

It all starts with the content -- write about your direct experience. People searching for information on your topic will be thrilled to find your site! And they'll think of you first when they need to book their travel arrangements.

The C T P M process works, and .......

............... Site Build It ......  delivers results! Take the reins on your future like this SBI user did...

Tap Into "The Great Equalizer"

The world is full of people with the kind of dreams that "B" - as she is known in the SBI! forums - expresses above. 

But...

Most people buy into "cheap, quick, easy" messages. Get cheap Web hosting, slap up a site, wait for the money to roll in. And they wait... and wait...

After a while, they chalk up their failure to the simple fact that "the Internet doesn't work." They're partly right...

The Internet Doesn't Work ...  Like That

The SiteSell home page (SiteSell is the company behind Site-Build-It!... and their home page) discusses this commonly employed tactic of large Web hosting companies.

It explains why the small business failure rate is so high... no guidance + none of the right tools = guaranteed failure.

But the Web does work if you understand how to use it. What good is it to build a site that never gets found? The pull of "cheap, quick, easy" is why 99% of online businesses fail.

Your Web site could be the most clever, flashy site on the Net. You could post up all your award-worthy vacation photos and pour all of your best travel tips into your site. But if no one ever sees it, it's not a business... it's a time-consuming hobby.

The Internet can be "The Great Equalizer." It can be a great opportunity to change your lifestyle. But it's neither of those things unless you use it right.

Build a valuable travel business like all of these people have. Each site featured was built by a regular person with passion and knowledge about their niche. Now their sites are ranked within the top 1% of Web sites on the Net. They get found by hundreds, even thousands of people, every day!

These sites are not the exception. 62% of all web sites built using Site-Build-It! rank within the top 3% of ALL sites on the Internet.

How do they do it? Consider this...

Would You Go On A Trip Without Any Luggage?

Imagine landing at your favorite place without any of the necessities... no seasonal clothing, no toiletries, no digital camera.

Sure, you'd be there, but without those basic items, your trip would likely fall short of your expectations. It'd be stressful. You'd be unprepared to enjoy any activities. And most of your time would be spent shopping for all the things you need.

Building a Web site without the necessary tools and information is similar to taking a trip without luggage. It can leave you floundering, exasperated... and all the unexpected extras can quickly eat away at your funds. And yet, countless people attempt to build a Web business without the basic necessities required to achieve success online.
