Holiday Bookings Website

This one was for the same guy as had already had a couple of other affiliate style websites from me. He expected me to build affiliate websites for him then to sit back and cash the payments.

This one had everything - package holidays, flights, villas, travel insurance, car hire, airport transfers, airport parking... You name it! Apart from travel money (never yet found an affiliate scheme for that) he had it.

The idea when I met up with him was that he had a post office and would advetise the site and services to people in his post office. Given that a lot of people do go there for travel services, he had a great target audience. But then he decided as we went live to sell the post office.

This left him with no immediate way of promoting his site. I kept giving him ideas, but he just wanted a quick income for no work. Sorry, doesn't happen.

Anyway, after 2 years the site was allowed to go. Moral of the story - put nothin gin then expect nothing out!
