Got my coffee ready and I’m digging in to the new course by Tourism Tim for the third day straight. It’s been a marathon to go through all the material he’s presented! Normally the course is presented in bite-sized pieces over several weeks, but I got access to the entire buffet!
These are busy days for me, and it’s hard to drop everything and spend three days focused on something that I hadn’t planned for… but sometimes I discover a new internet marketing strategy that makes me change the way I build my websites, from the ground up, so the changes are incorporated in the very design and engineering of the website.
This is one of those times.
And I want to blog about exactly what my experiences are, while they are happening, with the knowing that my story will only resonate with the small segment of the world who are also trying to improve the sales success of their current website.
Great Sequence Of Teaching
Tim knows his stuff and has the track record of success in helping tourism and travel professionals make their site into a marketing piece that are time-tested and proven to generates sales and bookings.
The sequence of material in the course is brilliant!
For me, the course started out with an aspect of web design that I wasn’t expecting. It felt something like a baseball-bat-whollop out of no where – and it clarified something I had seen before, but didn’t even recognize.
And then, Tim followed up with a clearly organized, masterfully edited, 56 page ebook that, for me, was like a super slow motion replay of the baseball-bat-whollop… from several angles. (I’ll tell you more about the specifics of exactly what I mean by that, I’m going to create a Case Study of a before-and-after, doing a website make-over with some of the current websites I manage… then Tim will personally review my work… on video!)
After hitting you with everything up front, then Tim presents a series of detailed case study videos that reveal how these strategies help his clients improve aspects of their website design that, as a result, get more bookings. I love the client testimonial videos that are included at the start of each section of the course.
Sometimes, it’s hard for me to watch his entire video, I’m so excited that I want to dash off and implement these improvements on a dozen websites all at the same time!!
Today’s Module is Search Engine Optimization
I’m completely stoked about this section of the course and I want to cut this blog post short and get to it, but I set a timer and I must keep writing until it beeps… (thank you Ed Dale).
I think Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a fantastic carreer for anyone who would do well in perpetual university. SEO used to be focused on the keywords and keyword density of your web page, and then it started to include links in the importance, then the quality of link and anchor text became critical elements and now we have real time search and a focus on the most recent material and the additional weighting that social actions now have on the staying-power of newly gained top rankings…
SEO is now a sophisticated orchestra that includes the social engagement of your customers.
Self Promotion Pitch
Not Blogging? Not Social-Ready? Not Mobile-Ready?
Not reorganizing your content and marketing message to match Tourism Tim’s Strategies?
Then it’s time for your business to consider an annual marketing plan with specific, step-by-step strategies that change throughout each month of the year – specifically created FOR the small to medium seasonal tourism business.
One of the most fantastic things about Tourism Tim’s Course and the solutions that I provide for my clients is that both strategies and both plans fit together perfectly – and I can’t wait to share more about that as well!
Ok, my timer went off. Now I’m going to watch the next series of videos in the amazing new Tourism Marketing Success Course by Tourism Tim Warren!

Wow!.
What can I say. I read your comments and insights together just now with my wife and we are both touched.
When you work hard on teaching something new and you want to make sure it’s presented in a easy clear manner, it’s great to hear that a fellow tourism website marketer is having aah hah moments!
I’ve had many thanks from travel pros who’s inquiries, sales and profits have been transformed. But when i read Doug that you were getting so much out of it too, it’s very fulfilling.
My mission to help tourism professionals worldwide make a great living doing what they love. We are in a life enhancing business, but it’s hard to enhance quality of life, when you struggle to pay your bills…
So let’s make some money.
Looking forward to supporting you and your clients in taking your website – and all your marketing messages – to new height of success and profits.
Thanks so much Doug.
With gratitude, Tourism Tim
My pleasure Tim. It is me who should be thanking you!
I’ve been taking online courses on internet marketing for years – and your course stands among the best information I’ve learned – and great videos that make it even easier to see exactly what you are teaching. The case studies have changed the way I’m looking at every website I see now!
I’m completely excited to work through everything you teach and apply it to a number sites as soon as possible!
I feel like I’m preparing for a big exam as I’m planning out the changes and updates I’ll need to make before everything is ready for inspection!!
Cheers!
Doug
