How Can a Travel Business Benefit You?
Are you looking for a way to diversify your income or qualify for legitimate tax deductions? Do you already book travel on the Internet? If the answer is yes, you might want to take a look at Your Travel Biz, or YTB. The YTB opportunity is all about travel, though most people who join the business are not already involved in the travel industry. Many members continue to work in other professions and use YTB as a vehicle for income diversification. Some join simply for the ability to enjoy tax deductions for things like cell phones, Internet fees, and business travel mileage. Others join so they can write off deductions for personal travel... their vacations become pay-cations. Unlike some of the other travel programs out there, YTB is not a discount travel club. YTB's Referring Travel Agents earn commissions by purchasing travel and an ever-growing list of related services through their own booking engines. Agents earn commissions on each and every transaction booked through their personalized websites, regardless of who purchases the travel. It can be you, a friend, or a stranger who finds your website on the Internet. Recruiting other agents is purely optional, though the financial incentives are significant. Is a YTB business right for you? As with any new business, it's necessary to learn from the leaders, in this case from the YTB Directors. YTB holds training events every week, and guests are always welcome at no charge. That's great news for anyone who wants to see firsthand what the business is all about and talk to people actively involved. The presentation schedule is constantly being updated, and new cities are added regularly. In addition to the list below, there are smaller events that I can research for you.
What is a Referring Travel Agent?
You've heard of Expedia and Orbitz, and the other online travel sites. As a Referring Travel Agent (RTA) with YTB you receive two websites, a booking engine powered by Travelocity, and a marketing site to build your business. Take a look at my websites:Full-Service Booking Engine
Marketing & Business Website
Your sites will be personalized with any name you choose. You'll instantly have millions of dollars of inventory in your arsenal of products and services. Best of all, the websites work for you around the clock, 24/7. Customers anywhere in the world may book travel through your personalized sites.
The booking engine is powered by Travelocity, and is backed by 24-hour customer support for you and your customers. Everything booked through your site is handled by and insured by Travelocity. You simply point your customers to your websites and earn 60% of the commissions paid to YTB. There is virtually no paperwork. Everything is tracked by YTB and transaction details are accessible through your two back offices... one for travel and one for marketing.
Would you like to get your monthly website fee reimbursed each month? Just share this opportunity with six others. Your personalized marketing site will help you expand your business and qualify for bonuses and residual income. This is purely optional, however. There are no recruiting requirements or quotas. You're the boss!
