*** Business Listings ***

For instance, on your City Guide Site for your city any business can sign-up for one of three listing types:
a BRONZE listing, SILVER listing or GOLD listing.

Once a business selects their listing type, they provide their business information by an online form and then they supply payment to YOU through ANY of your preferred methods (Online Credit Card, PayPal, Check or Money Order through the mail).

Once payment is made online (or offline), they are automatically added to your City Guide Site...

This leaves you, the manager of your City Guide Site, free from having to add the listings yourself since
businesses provide all their information directly at sign-up when they create their account on your site!

Also, since a business is given a username and password when they sign-up, they can login at any time to edit their own information as it changes, leaving you once again free from having to edit the listings yourself!

PLUS... At any time a Bronze or Silver listing can upgrade their account instantly, thus creating future revenue for you the manager, as well as additional revenue when their listing comes up for renewal!

And here is the best part!

You get to set your OWN PRICES that a business will pay you and you can also the set the listing term
(monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.) for their listing before it renews again.

For instance, you could charge them $99.95 per year, or $19.95 per month, or $49.95 per 3 months...

It's completely up to YOU!

Also, as I mentioned, there are THREE LEVELS of listings...

BRONZE / SILVER / GOLD

And you can set different prices and terms for EACH!

The reason businesses will WANT TO PAY YOU for a higher listing is because it offers them a chance to stand out amongst the competition since these features make it possible to provide more information to all those visitors to your site looking at their business listing.

Also, you don't have to have any website design experience to do this because the website itself will add the business listing to the correct category with all their correct information when they sign-up on your City Guide Site and make payment to you for activation.

So that really leaves you free to do other things! Such as making more sales by getting the word out!

*** Banner and Other Advertisements ***

There are several companies online such as Google and Commission Junction that allow you to easily place
banners and texts ads on your City Guide Site and then pay YOU every time someone clicks on those ads.

This is great because you can make money from visitors who simply visit your site to look around and click on these ads which interest them!

*** Hotel, Airline, Car and other Travel Options ***

Also, you can sign-up with IAN.com and this will allow you to provide travel options such as hotel rooms, airline tickets, car rentals, cruises and other travel packages directly on your City Guide Site.

Then when anyone purchases a travel option through your City Guide Site, you are paid a commission on their travel selection(s).

It doesn't matter if they are coming or going to your city when they travel, as long as they place the order
on your City Guide Site, you get the commission!

*** Other Revenue Streams ***

Finally, other managers are always coming up with creative additions to their site to make more money, and here at CityGuideSite.com we are always developing new features to add to our ever growing service.

ATTENTION: The below scenarios are in no way implying that you will make this exact amount of money. As always it depends on your individual effort and willingness to bring people to your City Guide Site (either through search engines, word of mouth, advertising, etc.) and get them listed on your City Guide Site.

NOTE: You have the ability as manager of your City Guide Site to change the listing prices to your own desired rate and term. Therefore, the below examples are simply showing what is possible for a small City Guide Site or large City Guide Site alike.

In this scenario, let's say you only receive one listing of each type each month using the prices of $9.95/year for a bronze listing, $49.95/year for a silver listing and $99.95/year for a gold listing. 

Your Income Potential:

Now as you can see with only one bronze listing, one silver listing and one gold listing each month, you can make $1,919.20/year using the listing prices above. How much time would you be willing to spend in telling people about your City Guide Site to get one bronze listing, one silver listing and one gold listing each month? You could stop and still bring the same amount of money in your second year on renewal fees alone, but why stop! Of course, it's all up to your individual effort.

However, this is still pretty small in terms of thinking about results unless you are satisfied running this business for yourself part-time. If you are doing sales this small, its probably because you have a really small business population, in which case your City Guide Site Licensing Price will be low as well so you still make a profit!, or it could be you just are not getting the word out to your city and being proactive about marketing.

In this next scenario, let's say you do this full time each week to place advertisements in your newspaper or other large scale advertising medium. You could place signs or flyers up in your city telling people about your City Guide Site. Perhaps you even do a direct mail marketing campaign for your city. Let's say you now receive 15 listings of each type each month using the prices of just $9.95/year for a bronze listing, $49.95/year for a silver listing and $99.95/year for a gold listing. 

Your Income Potential:

Now as you can see with 15 bronze listings, 15 silver listings and 15 gold listings each month, you could make over $28,000/year. Would it be worth it to put a little bit of time and money into advertising your City Guide Site in your city? Remember, you could stop and still make $28,000 in your second year on renewal fees alone, but if you keep on pace each month you might double your potential income!

Of course, the scenarios could continue only getting bigger and bigger each time, but the reality is that you should be able to know your own ability to market with the resources that you have ability to you. The more time and of course the more money that you can put into marketing your City Guide Site, then the faster and bigger returns that you will definitely see. Many managers start out with just one or several cities, but eventually double or triple their territory once they see how excited businesses are to advertise with them. You should try our 15-Day Free Trial. See if its for you, and if it is, then activate your license to continue with this great business opportunity, and go from there working your way up to managing several City Guide Sites for your entire area!
