Durant Imboden left his life as a literary agent and
freelance writer to enter the world of travel writing.
Always having a passion for new places and friendly faces,
Imboden decided to develop a website based on this travels
to Europe for anyone interested in travelling to the
“Old World.” EuropeforVisitors.com immediately became a
wildly successful resource for travellers all over the
world. With over 3,500 original articles on every
European destination imaginable, Imboden’s website boasts
over 300,000 visits each month. Through transferring his
passion for writing and travel into a marketable web-based
business, Imboden
is an inspiration for entrepreneurs
everywhere. Knowing he had to experience and technical
know-how to launch a website of this stature, Imboden began
his career working on sites that were never meant to be
profitable. Refusing to sell advertising space, Imboden
maintains a certain level of professionalism by refusing to
sacrifice his brainchild for a buck. Making money solely
from affiliate commissions, referral fees, and Google’s
AdSense text advertisements, Imboden shows it is completely
possible to receive revenue from a website without stooping
to selling space to annoying pop ups or potential scams.
Imboden is more concerned about the quality of the website
and its information than making money off his visitors.
Quite often he sacrifices content for cash by publishing
informative and interesting articles that have no potential
money-making potential. Even though all aspects of his
website do not generate revenue, he is by no means hurting
for cash. Additionally, his dedication to provide quality
information to his clientele has made EuropeforVisitor.com
a tremendously popular travel resource. Keeping this high
level of quality, Imboden is able to gain the trust of his
clients, thus resulting in repeat customers.
Using Imboden’s story, it is completely possible for
entrepreneurs to develop a successful business without
compromising their morals or integrity. Even though your
business may make money, if you are doing so by scamming
or tricking your clientele, not only will you lose any
possibility of repeat customers, you will lose the trust
and respect of your customers. The point of owning your
own business is not to make money at all costs, but develop
a business you are proud to be associated with and that
provides you and your family with an income.
