Reach out to known travel blogs with a well drafted summary of what you offer. Attach some promotion to it. If you plan to charge, than offer a discount to readers with a code that references the website that is blogging about you. If you do not charge users, than offer private beta access to the first n readers to sign up with that invite code. There's a pretty big chicken and egg problem with this, in that to make it useful you need a lot of users in each travel destination to make this work. If you're active on CouchSurfing, I would try to find locals in popular travel locations who would be interested in giving it a try, or maybe work out referrals with hostels to promote your site locally in exchange for promoting their hostels on your site. For example, for every 100 users they refer, they get 1 week of free advertising. You might even work with Hostel World to drive referral traffic to them with the hostels you've made agreements with in exchange for some free advertising on their site in a similar manner. |
