If you have dreams of setting up such a business, do heed the following advice:
- First and foremost, you have to come up with a good game plan to guide you. Develop a winning marketing plan and do not think big just yet. Start small perhaps by targeting your local market first.
- Second and just as important with the first one mentioned earlier, seek knowledge and skills related with the travel and tour industry. Go for paid trainings and make sure that you have all the knowledge and skills necessary in order to run a successful home based online travel agency.
- Third and this is something that is quiet tricky. Develop a well designed website that is attractive and inviting. If you cannot do this on your own, you can always hire web designers to do it for you. Nobody knows for sure which website design works best for any type of business. So this is a little tricky and requires a lot of testing, trial and errors. This could be the most frustrating stage of developing any type of online business!
- Fourth and will forever be impacting your business is market trends. Other than managing your business, you also have to keep up with the latest news and travel trends. Find out what is hot and what is cold by reading travel related news all around the world. By doing so you are assured of being a step ahead of your competitors.
Good luck and I wish you all the best!
