Make Money Writing Historical Tours for the iPhone!
Past Preservers is on the look out for passionate individuals who can utilize Crimson Bamboos unique new iPhone platform, Rama, to make history come alive!
Uniting popular history with archival photographs, Rama not only adds a historical narrative to the walking tour, but shows snapshots of the tour route as it actually appeared. Its the only app that captures the experience of being in Chicago after the Great Fire, on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day, or in Shanghais French Concession in the roaring 20s.
If you would like to be involved with creating tours for Rama, send us an email about yourself and your tour idea toinfo@pastpreservers.com
Whether its a jaunt through your universitys past, or a recreation of the recent protests and political reform in Egypt, if you make the idea sound compelling, well give you the tools to make it into a tour!
Thanks Peter
