Biz Idea for The Younger Up and Comers
01-04-2012, 06:37 PM
I was just thinking about a biz idea for some of the younger guys out there:
Create a "travel agency" of sorts for "International Playboy" types like myself.
One of the biggest hurdles for me is to plan my trips.
Search for flights? I hate doing that.
Searching for 6 hours for an apartment in the best part of town? I don't have time for that noize.
Figuring out the nightclubs? Give me a little head start.
(Hell, this could even be expanded to generating some online girl leads for the cat a head of time. Sort of like "E-Pimping". I wouldn't be interested in this part, but I am sure some might.)
I just need someone to piece this sh*t together for me.
Hell, 90% of the info and data sheets you can put together you can probably get from this site. (You probably want to give Roosh a cut of the action though).
If I told someone my dates and country and they came back to me with:
1. A sick apartment in the dopest part of town
2. A list of nightclubs and nights
3. Best plane ticket options
4. Other good Data Sheet info
I would pay for it.
I think there could be a biz here. Sure you are not going to be the next Foursquare or Groupon, but hell, it could def generate some walking around money. (Plus, you would learn tons).
Especially if the information was legit, and vouched for by others well respected G's.
Maybe the market would be super small. I don't know.
Mixx, would you pay for this?
Houligan Harry?

Interesting idea, looking forward to seeing some answers. I imagine the majority on here wouldn't pay for someone to work out that info for them as it's easily gleaned by reading a few topics on here or asking some questions. Not so say many others wouldn't pay for a similar service though.

Interesting idea, I like it.
G, do you intend to make the publicity explicitly aimed for men in this niche? I have a feeling that if its the case, the travel agency (even though it could generate good income) would have a certain kind of 'frown upon'. Or is it just me?

I would pay for that info. Planning trips constantly is a part-time job. And even after all the research it's still hit or miss until you get there and figure shit out.

I would DEFINITELY pay for a service like this!
I don't like "shopping around" for the best deals when I'm in a new city, I want to settle in as fast as I can and get on with experiencing whatever the city has to offer and get on with what I planned on going there to do.
Example: I landed in Bogota Tuesday night, thankfully I have a close friend to show me around and help me find a language school and apartment. So we went to the first school to check it out, its nice (good teachers, modern building, in a cool part of town, activities, etc) and my friend asks "well its nice but do you want to check out some other ones?" fuck no, I gave them my Visa and paid for two weeks on the spot.
Same deal with the apartment, we went to look at one last night, my friend thought it would be good because it was near the school and it was "cheap", it was a fucking dump! Then we went and looked at another one today (found it thanks to Mixx!) and it was nice (more expensive at around $950 USD), again my friend asks if I want to "look around" fuck no, I paid for it on the spot and I will move in tomorrow.
So, for me anyway, I'm not a "high roller" or a ballin' big spender but I'm not a penny pinching backpacker (I had my days as one of those!) and I don't mind spending a few bucks to get nice things, quick and easy!
This is a niche market that needs to be tapped, hopefully I can find someone to help me out when I hit up other Colombian cities such as Medellin and on the Caribbean coast!

I do things like this for my buddies out of the kindness of my heart, to think there are strangers out there that would put money up for it...going to direct my friends to this thread next time they hit me up for travel info and I reply with a dollar amount...

Good idea. When you travel fast you end up spending a large percentage of time booking for the next city.

After lurking a bit, I found this.
Anyone would like to help me start this up? I only have internet on my phone, but I would love trying this out with some members on here.
Nope.

I live in Santiago. Guys used to email me all the time, asking me to show them around and help them out. We would go out for a beer and when the check came for the beers, they would always look the other way. Too cheap to pay for a beer.
Best times I had when traveling to another country, is always when I know someone there.

How would you market this without either attracting sex tourists or being branded a sex tourist?

This reminds me of those Big Game lodges in the midwest where rich folks pay local hunters to line up their ducks for them, so to speak. There's a market for this sort of thing for a young entrepreneur.

I would definitely like to get in on a hustle this. I've been traveling around for the last couple months. and have figured it it out all the ins and outs of traveling. Finding the cheapest most efficient way to get around.
Where to stay ect.
I got a deal on an apartment next to an embassy in budapest just last week for 20usd a night.
.. almost to the point that I hate having to give my friends help cause they have no sense of direction.
hell even my moms best friend, who is a travel agent says I sometimes get a better deal than she can work out.
I think the best way to handle this would be to flat rate for the work such as information and a small commission off of the logistics.
Example 20 dollars initial but if the flights or purchases are high dollar 5 percent.
Everything can be negotiated though.
The best opportunities always boil down to how flexible you are on dates to how much you want to budget.
either way this sounds like and interesting idea. Considering next month I'll be state side and back to a boring life for a while.
Just send me a pm or say something here
I am the cock carousel
