From time to time I look around the Internet looking for ways to make an extra income. We all like the idea of making money from a web site but it always seems that everyone else can do it but not you.

You may of tried your hand at a blog and found it was fun but did not make any money or at least, very little. In fact the whole idea of using the Internet for an income either baffles you entirely or previous experience has put you right off.

Well I think I may of found a great way to earn an extra income, it can work for anyone no matter how much experience you have.

It is a franchise system which was established in 2008 by a UK company. It has gone from strength to strength with sites for the UK, France, Croatia, Cyprus, Spain, Nigeria and Slovenia. There are many more on the way.

A Guide2 web site offers detailed, clear and factual information on a local area including property for sale or rent, places to stay & things to do, as well as local news, a classifieds database, and up to date events listings.

Each Guide2 site also has its own social network which allows for User Generated content and also allows visitors to join local groups and interact with the site and fellow visitors.

A single site that acts as a guide to a town or city, a county, department, state or even country. They have the own adverts, banner ad’s and paid placements which you earn money from.

I guess it sounds complicated and that you are going to need technical knowledge. Well you don’t as there is an experienced team behind the whole thing that provides all the help you need including training. Not only that but the site has a special management system that simplifies the whole thing so anyone can do it!

If you are looking to invest in a Internet based opportunity then this is the one.

However you don’t have to believe me,

“We have been running Guide2Poitou Charentes for a year now, we were making money within the first month and the website easily covers it monthly costs. Running a guide2 website is an excellent way for expats to earn an income, you work from home and are your own boss. The website is easy to use and you don’t have to be technically minded as full training and ongoing support are provided. The research required to create a top-class guide site took a couple of months, but the process was fun and engaging, and we learned so much about the area in which we were already living. We have created something that is truly original, and of which we are proud. In fact we have been so pleased with Guide 2 we decided to launch a second site guide2limousin in February 2009.”
