offer to list them for
same incredibly low fee.
If you were a restaurant owner or hotel manager looking at a guide that has all your competitors listed, wouldn't you be willing to pay a small fee to remain in
guide? The reason that you have such a low fee is because you want your customers to take
important leap from a free listing to a paid listing.
Phase 4. After their renewal expires, you present each business with your listing options for
next year. You can offer anything from a small advertisement to a multi-page Web site. You are now an established city guide. Even your minimal listing - an entry in
search section only - costs $50.00 to $500.00 or more per year. The leap from paid to a price increase is not as wide as
leap from free to paid.
The potential earnings from a Web city guide varies with
size and popularity of
city. Even a small town with some attraction should provide you with a moderate income. A large city with many popular attractions could earn you much more.
