Please Note: traveljunkies.com not Travel-Junkies.com

Please note this important difference . . .

www.traveljunkies.com began in 2002 and now has more than 3000 clients worldwide.

We have seen an advertising campaign by Travel-Junkies, a blog by a family who plan to travel, and the very best of luck to them.

But please note there is no connection with the long established advertising and promotion business traveljunkies.com


traveljunkies started as a newsletter for scuba divers and skydivers in Australia and has since grown to become one of the leading promotion websites for small travel, tourism and activities businesses worldwide, and now has more than 3000 clients who have trusted us with promoting their businesses for the past 10 years.

As well as traditional adverts, traveljunkies has its own search engine “like Google only smaller” which makes it easy for our visitors to find exactly what they are looking for.

At traveljunkies.com we offer free advertising in our Guide and Directory to promote travel, tourism and activities businesses. We feature our clients in our Blog, and on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, and we believe this to be the best value-for-money advertising anywhere.

To get your free listing in the traveljunkies Guide and Directory, visit us at http://www.traveljunkies.com/contact.php and fill in a few details.

Our New Friend Jade . . .

. . .  well we haven’t actually met Jade yet but who knows, someday.

She’s a traveler & writer from some out-of-the-way place in Canada and we stumbled upon her in Stumbleupon, see it does work, and I started reading her Blog.

Now, not all travel blogs are worth spending time on, but I think hers is, because she’s done some crazy things. Read about her spending hours on a ferry from Fiji in a cyclone accompanied only by an unfortunate friend and a sick bag.

I’ll let you read her stories, you’ll find them here . . . www.ouroyster.com.

She also has a Pinterest Board, but don’t bother going there, there’s nothing on it – yet. Perhaps she should get some ideas from mine www.pinterest.com/traveljunkies

So do yourself a favour, have a little light reading from Jade’s Blog and if you like it, tell her, and if you don’t like it, tell her.

Until next time

Practical Tips For Small Businesses – Tip #8 Use Pinterest To Advertise Your Business For Free.

Are you using Pinterest to advertise your business? – You should for several reasons.

“A picture paints a thousand words.”

Pinterest is all about pictures which is tailor-made for your business, and they don’t have to be your pictures.
Once you have set up your Pinterest account, you can pin and repin any picture you like and it’s so simple to do.
What’s more you can add your own words to the picture and a link to your website.

In just a few minutes searching Pinterest you will find pictures suitable for your business and with one click, post them on one of your own boards.
And other people will do the same, pinning your pictures on their boards.
Because it’s so simple it’s no wonder it’s the No. 3 most popular social network in the US behind Facebook and Twitter and is fast growing worldwide.

So give it a try …

Go to http://www.pinterest.com and enter your email address to request an invitation. It should take just a day or two for your invitation to arrive in your mail.

And to see how it works, take a look at the traveljunkies boards here http://www.pinterest.com/traveljunkies  then click on any of the seven pictures to see all the pictures in that board.

Remember, once you have set up your account, come back to the traveljunkies boards and click on Repin to add a picture to your board.
You’ll be amazed at how quickly other people find you and repin your pictures to their boards.

As I said at the beginning, your business is all about pictures and it’s as if Pinterest has been developed just for you.
Go on – Just do it! 

Good luck
