Trevor's Travels

After attending many events and listening to hours of training by my network marketing mentor, Denson Taylor, one of the things that he often says sticks out in mind, “It’s the start that stops most people in this business.”

Denson knows a thing or two about getting off to a fast start and succeeding in network marketing. He rose to a six-figure monthly income level when he was with Excel Communications, and earned six figures within his first five months of involvement with his current company,YTB Travel. This type of success brought Denson to the attention of industry experts around the country. An entire chapter in Richard Poe’s network marketing classic, Wave 4: Network Marketing In the 21st Century, is devoted to the story of his success.

The following information will help to ensure that you don’t let your start stop you:

1. Don’t suffer from analysis paralysis. In the beginning, spend a small amount of time learning the basics of your business, and the majority of your time doing business building activities. It’s kind of like a TV-you don’t have to know exactly how it works in order to enjoy it.

2. Take massive action in the beginning. Think of your business like a boulder you are pushing up a hill. At first your hard work may not seem like it is paying any dividends. Eventually, after you go over the top of the hill, that boulder will become a runaway object that you couldn’t stop even if you wanted to.

3. Take personal responsibility for your actions. Remember, your opportunity is a business. You are the boss. Don’t let yourself get into the habit of putting off your necessary business building activities because you are waiting on someone else to take action. A lot of people build a long “blame list” for why they aren’t achieving the success they want. Don’t fall prey to this mentality. You don’t have to wait for your company to change their policy or your sponsor to return your call to take action. Your list should only include one name-you.

4. When you have the first taste of success, step on the gas pedal and GO! In sales, the best time to make a sales call is immediately after you have made a sale. The same principle is true in network marketing. The best time to talk to someone about your business is immediately after you have had a taste of success. Your genuine enthusiasm and excitement will be obvious to your prospect.

5. Have fun building your business! Network Marketing is all about creating a dream lifestyle for you and your family. Enjoy each step along the way. Remember, building your business is like a marathon, not a sprint.

I always thought vacation type opportunities were the best ops to get into, after all around 85 million people travel during the summer months alone and this doesn’t count for the other months during the year! It’s true though, travel services, products, items, and websites receive about 86 billion dollars in revenue alone. Now it doesn’t matter what your selling, as long as its travel related, its bound to go over well with consumers. It could be selling plane tickets, vacation packages, premium memberships to resorts or anything else. You can assume if its got to do with travel or vacationing people will bite. So listed below I have comprised a small but honest list of travel systems that are legit and will work for you. Of course there are more you can join or check out, but in my personal experience, these are the ones you will have “luck” with so to speak.

Network Resorts -

This is the first fully interactive travel program accessible nowadays via the Net. With access to more than 5,000 choice resorts worldwide. As a member, bookings and confirmations are at your fingertips through their site. Offers members a life-time of luxury travel at below wholesale rates. It also offers admittance to luxury resorts that usually require a timeshare purchase.

These are not budget accommodations! This is not the typical list of budget resorts you may have found throughout the Net, desperately fighting for your business in the off-season. Our members have access to 4 and 5 star resort properties any time of the year at below wholesale rates, along with superior customer service. You will need to put together a marketing campaign. Get together with your sponsor and come up with a game plan, nationwide ad co-ops, newspaper ads, network marketing magazines, Internet advertising, etc. This is one site where you can really end up making a residual income and in all likelihood one of the best I have seen thus far! Highly recommended!

YTB – Your Travel Business

I did join this awhile back but got side tracked with my other side The Lemon Plum, so I didn’t fully immerse myself in YTB but, I can tell you that the people that do really get into this business, do succeed and do make money from it. The YTB companies offer two unique and powerful opportunities that of referring travel agent or “RTA” and that of independent marketing representative or “REP”.

The travel agent opportunity has an initial fee under $500 and a monthly license fee of $49.95. There is no fee or travel agency purchase required to be a REP. You may choose to participate in one or both opportunities. This means you can either earn as a person who refers other members to the op or you can earn selling the “membership” system to other people or both. If you choose to do both there’s a pretty hefty fee but you can then also have double the chance to make it all back. It really depends on what you want, what you are capable of and what you can afford.

Bit.Ly/Journeys Away -

Like I said this is more of an affiliate program than anything else but you can earn money nonetheless on car rentals, hotels, resorts, airfare, cruises and much more. This one is free but as I have found out the ones that make you pay like Network Resorts are the ones where you will have more of a chance for people to sign up under you or to make a sale with them.

Still this is the best free one I have seen around and I have tried many, let me tell ya! You get a free website which you can customize completely, along with the ability to use your own domain name and add any sort of things to the site that you want such as your home page link (which I have added), AdSense ads, banners, etc. This site is a sister of the official Hotels website so they are legit! They offer over 44,000 hotels offering special Internet rates, packages, city/hotels worldwide, and much more!

You can join one, you can join all three. It doesn’t really matter, as long as you visit the sites and see what you are comfortable with then, I did my job! All of those sites listed above have their own comp plan, own fees and their own information and support. If I had to “rank” these I would keep them listed as they are. Network is by far the creme ala creme, the best of the best. YTB was a little slow to start, comp plan is a little confusing but the company and sponsors are really nice and very helpful and lastly the third one, is in a game all on its own since it’s not really even a system to begin with, but still a superb site to check out!
