Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Thinking Ahead in Oklahoma Craft Shows

By Rick Amorey

If you are in Oklahoma, you will probably see diversity everywhere you go. There are many craft shows held here on an annual basis, as there a lot of groups which hold craft fairs dedicated to their culture. These include crafts and cuisine shows. If you want to try a hand at small business, then you should strive to be as equally diverse as they are.

You see, you could be going for a Latino festival on one month and then going to a Vietnamese themed fair on another. So you'll have to learn to plan ahead. If you handcraft your items, planning ahead may start for as early as a few months prior to the event. You should make the crafts fit the event, after all. But how will you be able to prepare that early if you do not know the event that you'll be attending?

The simple answer is this: You just can't. You have to know details of the event months in advance and that will be somewhat of a challenge. You have to personally drive over to the events and try to talk to event organizers if you can find them. Spend time looking for fliers and posters advertising the event. Until recently, this involved meticulous note-taking of the dates of the annual event. Most just revolve around the same dates, in any case.

Fortunately, the Internet has made our lives much easier than before. Instead of going out and finding fliers and posters about fairs, you just have to sit at your PC and turn on the Internet to look for dates and listings of crafts show. Plus, you'll find contact info for the event organizers. Easy as pie, isn?t it?.

So, what's the hold up? Try a hand at selling handcrafted items and be at the right place with the right know-how at Oklahoma fairs and festivals. Search online now!
