Online Travel Business:
Niche Market Ideas for Fly Fishing

One thing is sure, niche market ideas for an online travel business are numerous. Now, I am not referring to build yet another travel booking site here. I refer to your favorite holiday or fly fishing destination. How would you go about turning these lucrative niche markets to work for your online business?

It is best illustrated with an example.

You are passionate about fly fishing and you love to challenge a tiger fish. You know everything there is to know about fly fishing, the gear and how to make flies to lure the fish to take the line. Your niche market ideas will include all the gear, books and accessories for fly fishing enthusiasts.

The content on your website, like always, should be unique. Typically you would include reviews on rods and other fishing gear. If you like to create your own flies, take a few pictures as you go along and use them to create fun tutorials for your readers on your website or blog. You could even include a few pages on "the one that got away". Engage your readers by asking for stories to publish them with their photos on your website.

To successfully use your niche market ideas for an online travel business, dedicate a section of your website to "fly fishing destinations" or something similar. Within the content about the destinations, provide a link to the travel booking site that offers an affiliate commission when your visitor makes a booking from your affiliate link.

Research the online travel business booking sites carefully to ensure they list your recommended fly fishing destinations.

Remember to sign up as an affiliate with the affiliate program to get your unique id. If there is a destination you’d like to promote to your readers, but not listed with the booking site, contact the resort and negotiate referral fees.

Typically you would set up a form on your website to send a booking inquiry to the resort BUT also send a copy of all the requests to you, in order to keep track of your referral income.
