The Costa Rica Party Guide

Thanks to all who purchased the now legendary Costa Rica Party guide. Since one of my best friends wrote the original version back in April, we have sold over 150 copies, and the guide, has become a club with members from all arround the world.

Below are just a couple of comments from some of the members.

"Forget every guide book to Costa Rica (if you still want those others, I'll send you mine for free), because this is the ONLY book you will need! Cutting though all of the unnecessarys, David Anderson gives you all the "ins and outs" of visiting Costa Rica. Not only detailed are the "Single Man's" main interest (the girls), this book covers the essentials, from making sure you don't get ripped off by taxis to the BEST restaurant recommendations that only the locals know about. I just found this book days before I left for Costa Rica, and wish I had found it before, because I had made some arrangements from companies I had found on the internet, only to find I was "ripped-off" once I got there. This book has no hidden agendas, no recommendations by the author trying to "hook" you into buying something else.......just one man, trying to help out his fellow men. BUY this book, for what you'll save, the cost of this book is worth 20 times more!"

Dear David:
Your Single Man's Guide to Partying in Costa Rica is great. This is a must have guide for anyone traveling to Costa Rica. David really knows his way around. His guide has the most complete and up to date information for making your experience in Costa Rica wonderful. Have a true quality girlfriend experience with a stunning lady. Find a lady who is warm, intelligent, and beautiful, whose desire is to entertain you. After reading the guide and taking David's advice, my trip to Costa Rica was a dream come true. I can't wait to return.

There are lots of websites and guides to Costa Rica. What makes this guide different is the personal touch...

"David, I just want to thank you for going out with us last night. We had a blast. I have been coming to CR for years now. I considered myself something of an expert, and I did get out of the Rey. In fact, I never stayed there, preferring the more casual, non-pressured atmosphere of the Presidente. I did not think your guide could teach me anything, cuase I figured I knew all the spots. And it is true. Many of the spots you covered where places I knew about. The cool thing was that The Guide gave me a kind of a unique perspective not just on the Party Spots, but also how to have a good time without going broke. You are a party animal, God only knows how dangerous you would be if you hadn't got married! Nevertheless, it is obvious that you and your BOYZ have your fingers on the pulse of the Party Scene. Your contacts are awesome, and I have to say that anyone who has a chance to take the "Tour," with you, is in for a treat. Hope the old lady did not give you too hard a time for hangin' with us. I cant wait to come back!"

The guide is about helping you have a good time.
The guide has been expanded to over 40 pages, packed with inside information, a map to hotspots, reviews, a survival spanish guide, and numerous tips on how to have fun in the Party Capital of Central America, without losing your shirt or your sanity. I focused on the stuff other guides dont give you. We also have a monthly newsletter that we send to all members.

Where to Eat
How to survive an encounter with police
Safety Rules
How to Save Money
Where to go to have fun outside the city

And I decided to make it a subscription based service, where for the same $20 you get a years worth of updates. By now, the early purchasers are receiving version 4! With more to come before the end of the year.

So check it out, for $20 you cant go wrong!

Buy the guide via Pay Pal Shopping Cart (You don't need a paypal account and can pay via credit card)

Even if you dont buy the guide, Make sure you vote for In Search of Utopia as Best Blog in Latin America! (Read On)

It takes two mouse clicks and you are done!

As best Latin/Carib/South American Blog!

Update: December 13th - Just two days to go. ISOU has moved into third place, dont know how long it will last, but I am thrilled to be in that position against such strong competition. Thanks to all who have voted and continue to support me. We may not win, but it would be great to finish in the top three, please vote!

Have you looked into Clickbank (http://www.clickbank.com)yet David? You can list the guide there and affiliates can market and send them to your site (through Google Adwords etc...) for a cut of the sales (clickbank handles all the payout BS and you just collect a check).

I think there is only a 1 time fee of $150 to get your thing listed and you have to build a sales page, but you've already gotten all the content written so that part wouldn't be too hard.

The kicker... You can run it all through Paypal just like you do now.

I think a good payout to attract affiliates is a 50/50 split, but you figure if you sell 2 times as many you've made the same amount as you've made already without having to do any of the work.

And of course you can continue to market it yourself for 100% profit.

Just an idea.
