Everyone should be paid to book travel online.

My Two Cents Could Make/Save You a Fortune in Travel



FACT: Every time someone books their own travel online, a commission is PAID by travel suppliers/vendors. Just not to you, but to the travel website owners.

Everyone should be paid to book travel online.

Tell me why some people would rather book travel online and NOT be paid. Why would anyone want to spend MORE MONEY? Passing on being paid 60%-70% of the commission paid on travel and entertainment purchases? Why is this such an unbelievable concept? Why would anyone NOT want to travel like an insider? Be paid for the travel of others?

Why do some persons waste their hard earned income? Or settle for getting only an advertised sale or be paid only 3 percent, when they can have so much more? Most persons could use more income, how about you?

And settle for inferior vacations when they could travel like an industry insider.

Why do millions of people book travel online (80,000,000 of them), performing the work of a travel agent and not get paid?

Why do some people make up their minds about YTB without finding out all the facts? A few of the facts about YTB (Your Travel Biz), a publicly traded company.

YTB International, Inc. booked $414.5 million in travel in 2007! And is on track to have earnings of $1 Billion Dollars for 2008!

A company that booked over $226 million in travel in 2006.

Just a few examples:

YTB books more Carnival Cruises and received the Pinnacle Award from Carnival Cruises (3) three years in a row for booked cruises.

Princess Cruise Lines awarded the 'Top Agency Producer' in 2007.

Apple Vacations awarded the 'Platinum Apple Award' in 2008.

The Changing Scene of Online Travel

Power to the People


There are been a paradigm shift in online travel booking. Don't settle to just save some money on vacation...make some money too! It is called a PAYCATION.

Term 'Paradigm Shift' defined for clarity
(as related to economics or marketing):

A fundamental change in approach or assumptions.

Change has come to the world of online travel booking. It is really not that new, it started to happen in 2001. It has just been getting better and more powerful. The ingenious idea to put online travel websites into the hands of the consumer. What a concept. Wish I had thought of it first.

Yes, change is hard to accept by some. But getting the best deal for your money is a priority. Is it not???

Things to Consider


Why not enjoy the benefits and privilege of owning your own travel website with similar features and power of the major online travel companies at your disposal. Using many of the same industry recognized and trusted vendors. Having all types of travel and entertainment at your fingertips, a one-stop entertainment mecca and much more. Not to mention the possible tax benefits on many things used now as only consumer goods.

Being able to set yourself, family and friends free to travel till their hearts delight. This is the stuff travel dreams are made of.

Even offer travel deals to the whole world!!!

FACT: The informed consumer holds the power of money and the choice of where to apply it.

A simple but often overlooked idea.

The media attempts to mold consumer ideas with flashy advertising to think which product or service is best. This only has merit when the advertised product IS a better value.

When truly, what is best is your family finances bottom line, the ability to travel more for less, and to travel like the insiders!

The trend is in a few years 50% of American families will have their own travel website.

If you are new to this concept, check out the facts at the links to my other lenses and websites below. Experience the perks and benefits of insider travel. Being able to earn/save money using the Internet is a great thing and always will be.

YOUR TURN TO STATE YOUR OPINION!

YES

Pastiche says:

I book my travel online, usually directly through the carrier or hotel. I would appreciate a discounted rate for saving them a commission charge, heck yeah.

Cyndi says:

Too bad this concept was not introduced to the Joe Public a long time ago.

TopStyleTravel says:

Most definitely, the Internet is an ever evolving marketplace. It is good to see every people taking advantage of it. Think outside of the box. I know some persons that still have never shopped on the Internet and spending too much money. Just be informed and it is usually a good experience.

All Online Travel is not Created Equal

Staycations are for the uninformed. (Stay at home vacations) Most people want to travel more and pay less. Have your cake and eat it too! Get paid to travel. Be the trendsetter in your family, neighborhood, group or office.

    My hubby has booked more travel online than I'll bet some travel agents -- he is quite good too at arranging the timeshare deals. When I suggested that he could do this for a living, he gave me such a look. Ha! Well, I must say that I agree with you.
