Have you ever dreamed of being your own boss? I have created a home business opportunity that allows you to earn an impressive income by operating your own City Guide/Portal for your town, and it only costs you $39.95 per month! You keep 100% of the profits by selling Featured Yellow Page Listings & Banner Ads to local businesses, plus earn additional income through built-in affiliate programs. You can charge any price you want for Featured Listings & Banners, by the month or by the year...it's completely up to you! And now all websites come stocked with COMPLETE YELLOW PAGE LISTINGS...a $3000 value!
THIS IS NOT AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM - It is a genuine business opportunity that you can operate right out of your home. You keep every dime of the money that you bring in....and you can sell your Featured Listings and Banner Ads for any price you want! The site comes completely set up for you to easily MANAGE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR WEB BROWSER , on any computer with an internet connection..with NO PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
Each city is restricted to only ONE GUIDE PER CITY, so once you've locked in your city....no more will be available unless you cancel your site, which you can do AT ANY TIME! We custom build your website to fit your city...plus we even throw in FREE HOSTING and a FREE DOMAIN NAME (.COM/.NET/.ORG/.BIZ/.INFO/.US) of your choice. I have spent 10 years and 1000's of hours developing my city guides to help you start your own business affordably. A web designer would charge $15,000+ for a website of this caliber....For a low $99.00 setup fee and $39.95 monthly rate, you can be up and running in just days...
Now I'll go through all of the website features, how it will make you money, and more...if you'd rather just check out our sample website first...just click the link below..or read on for our detailed explanation.
I have spent 1000's of hours programming features on my city guides to make them content rich and very user friendly. Here are some of the many features that will keep your visitors coming back over and over again:
 |
Complete Yellow Page Listings for all of the Business in your City or Town 
We provide the only business directory that is PRELOADED with all of your city or town's business listings. Users can search by category or business name and find the addresses, phone numbers, maps & directions to every business in your area. Most websites charge $1000's of dollars to license this information alone, but we have included it in your city guide FOR NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! |
|
Locality Feature Allows Visitors to Narrow Search Results to their Part of Town
This incredible feature allows your website visitors to view only the listings in a particular area (or locality) of your city. After your website is set up, you decide how you want to divide your city - by neighborhoods or areas, cardinal directions, whatever you think would make it easy for your visitors to recognize. Then using our handy zip code map, just assign zip codes to each of your localities and this powerful feature will allow your visitors to really "Go Local!". |
|
Featured Businesses & Business Showcases
When one of your website visitors searches your business directory, all of your "Featured Businesses" (Business who have paid to be Featured) will be listed at the top of the results. Their listing stands out from the crowd in a gold box, and provides a link to their "Business Showcase" page (more information on Business Showcases & what it includes below) |

Shop Online in "The Marketplace"
All of the items posted for sale by both your Featured Businesses & Free Classifieds users are fully searchable by category or keyword in "The Marketplace". When a search is performed, items by your Featured Businesses are listed first, followed by Free Classified items, and then matching eBay items. If a website visitor clicks through to an eBay item and makes a purchase, you receive a commission on the sale. |

|
Local Content - Local News, Real Estate for Sale, Apartment Guide, and more!
We think the most important aspect of our guides is making it rich in local content. In addition to all of our other great local features such as the Business Directory, we also pre-load each website with the kind of local links people are looking for. Your website visitors can check out local news, look for a new home, or find an apartment without ever leaving your website. |
|
Live Local Radar and Weather Page
Your guide displays a live radar feed and temperature reading n the upper right corner of every page on your website that is automatically updated every 5-10 minutes. It also contains a link to a full page weather and forecast report to keep your visitors informed. |

|
Discussion Forum & Blog
We provide simple instructions on how you can add a community discussion forum and even your own personal blog if you want to publish your own rants. A forum is a great way to keep visitors coming back, as they can chat about anything from movies, to local issues to (uh oh) politics. |
|
Add Your Own New Links & Content Easily!
One of the best features of our city guides is that we have given you the ability to add new links and content to your website...and it is so EASY! Add anything you think your website visitors would like. You can create a new page from scratch and add any content you desire, or create a link to another website such as the Chamber of Commerce or Visitor's Bureau. We've given you room to make your website grow so that there is always something new an interesting for your visitors! |
The reason that our city guides offer the best online business opportunity out there is our powerful business directory. Website owners are able to offer local businesses the most exciting and affordable advertising available anywhere. This is just what small businesses are looking for! Here is a rundown the "Featured Business" package....and remember, they make all of the changes themselves...so you don't have to!
|

TESTIMONIALS
Join over 50 people currently making money operating my city guides. Below are comments from just a few.
"I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my new City Guide. I've been marketing on the Internet for almost 5 years and I've seen it all, and then some. Your product is the best I've seen and your customer service is second to none!! I will definitely be telling all my associates about you and your product. John....you're the BEST! Ken Malohn
"Great site and superior service. John has been and still is an absolute pleasure to work with. He answered our questions quickly and continues to do so. Our site was set up quickly and is extremely easy to manage, as no programming experience is necessary. I would definitely do business with him again." Brian Booth
"Working with John and his company is a reminder that there are businessmen of integrity. This company exceeds all of our expectations both in technical and creative ability. More importantly is his honesty and determination to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase. " Buy with confidence" does not do this man justice!" Tom Trippoli
"The best customer service I've seen in a long time. John had a logo for us within a few hours and the site up and running in just a two days. He answered all my emails promptly and was very helpful through the entire process. The site manager is very easy to use. I was able to make changes to my site within minutes without having any programming experience. I can't wait to start promoting my new site." Rick Garza
------------ The Bottom Line -------------
First make sure your city is available by selecting your state or province below. If it is available, upon purchasing the site, I will contact you and help you decide on a domain name that will work well for your city....you can also use one you already have if you prefer. I can usually have your site up and running within few days of receiving your payment & information, so you can login to the site manager and start selling listings. Plus if you want to add any extra pages or features to your site, I can do that for a modest fee. After all, web design is my business.
I am ALWAYS available to give helpful advice on promoting your site & and with tech support. Rest assured that all of your e-mails will be answered promptly and I'll do my best to help you out if you have any problems. Plus I will make any changes or additions (within reason of course) that you may want on your site. I have spent 5 years building this website with marketability in mind. I have been doing web design for 8 years and have designed over 50 websites for satisfied customers across the country. I'll do my best make sure you're satisfied as well.
