What do you know about your town? Tell others about it by conducting guided walks.
Most towns have their hidden secrets, handed down stories and historical happenings. If your particular town attracts tourists so much the better. You will find that there are many titbits of information that even the inhabitants are unaware of.
Learn all you can about the architecture, history, local personalities, famous people who have visited and any anecdotes and legends. In fact, find out everything you can about the place right down to barely visible markings and gory crimes. Then plan out several interesting routes.
When you are ready with all your facts, start advertising your guided walks. Have posters and leaflets at all the places where visitors to the town will see them: hotels, rooming houses, tourist information points, restaurants, libraries, and so on.
Have a designated place for people to just turn up at the set time. Collect the money before you set out. Earn extra by having small items of local interest to sell. Stop by a gift shop. Finish at a café. Don’t forget to talk with the owners of these establishments beforehand to arrange commissions.
