I went to college to be a travel agent. You have to be certified.

Once you are, you deal directly with Airlines etc. People come to you for needs locally. I have no idea how you could run one over the Internet without being certified.

People want to deal with someone they know they can go to if there is a problems .. otherwise they do the work themselves ... not sure how you could advertise for that?

Good luck to ya !

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

4) Advertise on Craiglist

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
