Travel Website Secrets from DIWYY
| Kristina and Jerri were guests on Monday on the iSytes radio show. The topic of the day was How Social Marketing is the Online Word of Mouth discussing how Do It While You’re Young uses online social marketing tools to promote DIWYY.com. |
e had so much fun Monday as guests on the iSytes radio show on BlogTalkRadio. The show programming as described by iSytes was:
We live in an on demand, instant information culture. When internet users are on the hunt for information about their next destination they go to travel sites that are advertised. The user looks at these websites to find the best hotel, best trip planner to the best deal. Some are finding out that they are way too commercial and will not necessarily get the best deal. Now, those who are reporting their personal experience through social marketing
it is of the same value as “Word of Mouth Advertising”. Any marketing agent will tell you that the best golden form of advertising is word-of-mouth. So we are going to share with you some wonderful insight from our guests, Jerri Stephenson and Kristina Wegscheider founders of Do It While You Are Young: A Girl’s Guide to Travel, Study, Work and Volunteer Abroad, on how social marketing
has led them to travelers to share their experience on www.diwyy.com and to publish a book.
The show was so much fun and really interesting for anyone wondering about the best ways to build and promote not only their travel website, but any website. We covered website sponsorships and advertising as a way to monetize your site, finding and communicating with your audience and using tools like YouTube and Facebook to increase your brand’s reach to your audience.

Happy and safe Travels!
