For Nomads or Families, Trips

I have a problem with places that area “famous”, I don't find them interesting, and they generally more expensive to travel to.

So thinking about this I decided to create a project about this, create a “newsletter” where I can recommend places in the world that are different

for example: — hotels — restaurants — parties and all kinds of things

i want to create something simple that would be useful to anyone in this world, something that would really be exciting to stop for a while and read.

“a simple and quick read”

During the months of the year, you would receive an email with a “travel itinerary” an “adventure” in it would contain a place in the word that is fascinating, a region that would have places to stay, places that you would find good food and parties or fascinating places to see.

What do you think of this idea?

I think there is a large audience for people who want to visit the more uncommon attractions and experiences when traveling. Algorithms on the large travel sites push you to the most common experiences, which is frustrating. It's a huge market and encourage you to continue.

Do you have a sample edition? It looks difficult to convince people to subscribe without a few samples.

I hadn't thought about that, I'll have to create a first email to show it, thanks for the comment

I'm going to do this on the landing page, I think it will be better this way

I was going to recommend one of the patio11 posts, but I'm not sure which one. IIRC in one of them he recommend to give some small free advice in each post to convince people to buy your product. (I hope I'm not misremembering too much.)

His own selection of his best posts https://www.kalzumeus.com/greatest-hits/

I can't find the best one, but this may be helpful. https://training.kalzumeus.com/lifecycle-emails

Take a look at https://training.kalzumeus.com/ and see how he get's your email.

How will you find those places as you are a tourist yourself? What differentiates you from every travel blogger aiming for the exact same thing?

If I want good recommendations, I'll scroll down the search results until I see a domain that looks vaguely local. The travel blogs don't hold a candle to our official tourism website, let alone to our local magasines.

Besides, there's a reason tourists all go to the same places: those places are worth seeing. They're the impressive stuff people paid good money to see.

So it would be interesting to include these "famous" locations in the adventure and add something extra to the recipe.
