Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast Launched

June, 28, 2007, Sonoma County, CA. Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast, the first online radio training show to help current and future global travel & hospitality professionals succeed, was officially launched by host Tim Warren, Author of Tourism Marketing Success. Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast provide 20 - 40 minute long audio interviews, case-studies, advice and coaching from travel business and marketing coach Tim Warren and award winning travel and hospitality professionals to help current and future travel and hospitality entrepreneurs and career path professionals be more successful, avoid mistakes and make more money.

Travel and hospitality, one of the world's largest industry, is dominated by small to medium sized, often home-based businesses, who often lack core business, marketing, online business, sales, management, operations and strategic planning skills and government support required to succeed in this competitive and growing industry. Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast goal is to provide downloadable and click to play audio trainings and guidance twice a month that current or future travel pro's can listen to whenever, wherever, and as many times as they want for free. Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast is available as a XML subscription feed at http://www.travelbusinesssuccess.com and is syndicated globally via iTunes, Yahoo, Google and many other online podcast directories.

"What I love about podcasting and my new online radio training show is that by using technology, my voice, industry knowledge and my voice, I can leverage my time and expereince and help countless current and future travel pro's make a living doing what they love. Too many get into the travel & hospitality industry filled with passion for the travel, a region, a sport, working outdoors or with people, and overlook or lack the many entrepreneurial, management or people skills required as a business owner, staff or manager. And the reality is many in large travel operations need help to move to the next level of profits and economic development. Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast shows are produced to help newbie's to seasoned pro's", stated Tim Warren.

Tim is running a special listeners survey through the end of July to help guide future shows and will be awarding $249 in travel E-marketing courses to the first 20 who fill out the Travel Business Success.com Radio Podcast survey.

Why Podcasts Are a Great Way to Learn

If you are like most travel professionals, you are busy - wearing ten hats at once trying to run your business.

Sound familiar?

Podcasts allow you to subscribe to a topic of interest to you, have it downloaded into your computer automatically so you can listen to it via your computer or play it on any digital music player, like an iPod.

Heck even my phone now has a digital audio player.

So what this means is you can listen and learn when and where you want -- and as frequently as you need to, because you have the audio files in your computer or player.

Free Travel Business and Tourism Marketing Advice

Some people charge for Podcasts, but mine is free. Some of the existing and future topics include:

Travel Marketing with Google Pay per click advertising
Travel Website Sales Conversion strategies - a 6 part series
The difference between Search Engine Optimization and Pay per click
Online reservation and distribution systems
Phone customer service and sales success strategies
E-mail newsletters strategies
How to enhance your communication and leadership with your staff
How to sell more travel with video
How to get your clients to sell for you using online audio and video testimonials

What Are Two of The Top Travel Marketing Strategies?

Without a doubt, using technology wisely to market travel has yielded the highest return on investment of any new marketing we have done in our Baja, Mx. Eco-Adventure resort since 9/11//2001.

I call this; Internet Tourism Marketing.

Here are some recent new web pages about the two of the best travel marketing strategies: ( if done right)

Search Engine Optimization for travel companies

Google Adwords advertising for travel promotions

I did some research and posted on my site, some great testimonials from:

Travel Alberta
Seattle Visitor & Convention Bureau

and other travel professionals who use Google Adwords to effectively target their markets fast and yield a profit.

There's even a cool video from "Wired Destinations" who uses Adwords to sell over USD $80,000 A DAY in travel. Check it out. It's pretty cool.

Warning on Pay Per Click Advertising

I have wasted a lot of money on ineffective pay per click advertising on Yahoo and Google.

Anybody else?

Now it's different. I learned some critical new strategies from a guy named Perry Marshall who has a free mini-course on how to "beat the Google System.

I have read and applied Perry's advice on many key phrases for myself and clients. The bottom line is I am getting more click, for less money and I am happy.

Better yet, using some simple but effective options Google offers that I learned from Perry, I am able to "split test" my ads and find out which offer the market best responds to.

This is super important because Google actually rewards you with higher placement on the page for no more money which yield higher traffic.

More traffic for less money and I learn what ad content provides best results. And I got these results fast and for not much money!

This is tourism marketing using technology I love.

For a Free Copy of Perry's Mini-Course, go to my new page on : Google Travel Marketing

I would love to hear from other travel professionals on your "Pay per click" trials, successes and "learning opportunities"

Search Engine Optimization ( How to Earn Top Ranking Profitably)

Look for a future blog post on the challenges of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and why it may not be the best strategy for you on your travel marketing.

SEO is a long term strategy. If you are considering SEO, be sure to ask for proof of the SEO company successes and the top questions on this new page on Internet Travel marketing.

If you doubt me, check out comments from the MANY travel professionals I have been blessed to work with over the years.

I don't share to brag, only establish my credibility if you are going to invest a few minutes of your time periodically.

Look for specific examples on how-to do this and many other easy, but super powerful strategies we have and continue to use for Baja AirVentures and many other travel projects.
