What Do We Do At traveljunkies?

At traveljunkies we promote businesses in the travel, tourism and activities industries.

We started back in 2002 as an “early day blog” for scuba diving and skydiving, but it soon became clear people wanted more than that and other activies such as whitewater rafting, rock climbing, skiing and all kinds of water sports, as well as accommodation and travel soon got added.

Today we have over 3000 businesses in traveljunkies covering most activities in nearly every country in the world.

So if you want to go trekking on horseback in Mongolia we have several businesses listed who are ready to serve you.

We promote businesses by giving a FREE ADVERT (totally free, no strings) on our website.

We also offer various paid advertisements that are the best value for money on the Internet and you’ll find our prices here.

All payments for advertisements are via Paypal so you don’t pass on credit card details or your bank information to us. Paypal is completely secure, easy to use and you don’t need a Paypal account.

Again, if you want to know more or would like your free advert for your business, just give us a few details

Practical Tips For Small Businesses – Tip #4. Our Most Important And Valuable Tip

My first three tips are all about your Facebook Fan Page.

1.   Why you must have a Facebook Fan Page
2.   How to use it to get more traffic
3.   How to create a Facebook Fan Page if you don’t already have one.

These have been invaluable tips for us and for thousands of other businesses who use the power of Facebook’s 800 miilion subscribers to advertise and promote their business. So why not you.

My next tip, TIP #4 is the most important and valuable tip of all and I make no apologies for pinching it from a company that really knows how to market their products – JUST DO IT!

Looking back, publishing these tips just before the holiday season may not have been the best choice when you have so many other things to do, but we are now starting a New Year and what better time to take a fresh approach to marketing and promoting your business.
So, as the man says – JUST DO IT!

I believe 2012 will be the year when Social Networking and especially Facebook takes off in a big way for small businesses worldwide, so don’t be left behind. Don’t wait until everything is perfect or the time seems right because you’ll never get started, just get on and DO IT NOW!
Do it yourself or give it to one of your team if you’re lucky enough to have someone, but DO IT!   Nothing will change until you do.

Spend a few minutes going back over our first three tips which you’ll find on our Facebook Page then sit down with a cup of coffee and write down your plan.  And remember a plan isn’t a plan unless it has dates.

LIKE our Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/traveljunkiesdotcom and post your Facebook Page so we can LIKE you back. That way our fans will see your Fan Page and so will their fans. That’s what Viral Marketing is all about and that’s what drives traffic.    

Best wishes for a great New Year
