The other day in chat, a new member asked about creating a clickable map. I thought it was an interesting idea but didn't know of any resources at the time.

There are plugins you can purchase but I also found an alternative.

Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income has created and shared a great resource.

In Pat's own words:

"Why CreateaClickableMap.com?

I created this HTML5 compatible tool because I paid a developer a ridiculous amount of cash to build a clickable map for me from scratch, and I wanted to save you time, hassle and money.

After you edit your map, click on "Generate Map Script" to retrieve the html that you can copy and paste for your website. You have the option of paying a small fee that will give you the ability to come back and edit the map later, or you can skip that and just get the code for free."

I played around with it a bit and it is super simple to use. I will be bookmarking it for future use.

There is also a video with quick instructions.

Change colors, add links, create call to action.

Click on each state, add a title and the link.

Click generate Map script and embed in the text tab of your page.

Easy, peasy. Thanks to Pat!
