Build a Successful Business Producing Local Guides

More people are taking their holidays in the UK now that we are all having to tighten our belts. This provides an ideal opening for you to build a successful business. Publishing local guides can be your Open Sesame to a lucrative market.

To start this new business all you need is a computer with an internet connection, a printer and a commercial size stapler.

Now visit your local library and swot up on as much local history as you can. Talk to local people to find out if there are any customs you don't know about. Are there any myths or legends about the locality? Do any famous people present and past have local connections? Have any films, TV programmes or documentaries been made anywhere near? Where do people walk their dogs, ride their horses or go for walks? What about local pubs and tea shops? What places should visitors not miss?

Now you prepare a list of titles. E.G. 'Five short walks for you and your dog'. 'Famous places you must visit'. 'Tea shops and pubs which welcome you and your dog'. 'Local myths and legends'. Etc.

Hopefully you can be more imaginative, creating titles from the information you have discovered. Include pictures, sketches and draw simple maps.

Use a desktop publishing package to create 32 page A5 booklets printed on at least 90gm paper with card cover and stapled.
