How To Find Money In The Travel Business

By Gary Mooney

Want to know about a great business opportunity?

What can the travel business offer you? Think about this: unlimited travel commissions, a home-based business, discounted travel packages and so much more! But you should know that this is only the tip of the iceberg. If you really pursue this business opportunity, you can go for so much more! But you have to admit that this would be a pretty good start.

The beauty of network marketing is that you can actually establish a home-based business using that business strategy. The truth is, all you'll need to do is use the word-of-mouth technique and you can start earning those travel commissions soon enough.

The economic principle behind it.

Plane tickets are normally cheaper when you book them in advance compared to buying them from the airport. Now, this happens because airlines are confident that they will still be able to fill their seats. However, what happens when airlines realize that the plane may not be filled before take-off? Now, when the plane is not filled, the airline shoulders the exact expense for things like fuel and salaries. In order to lessen that loss with one flight, they pad the prices of plane tickets bought by incidental passengers.

The principle behind wholesale travel is the same principle behind wholesale goods except you look at it in terms of plane tickets and not food products. You see, a plane can have a seating capacity ranging from 20 to as many as 200. For a specific plane, each take-off costs the same, however the number of passengers inside may not be. So when an airplane takes off with a few empty seats, they are actually losing a lot. So what they do is they stratify the prices of plane tickets. Advance bookings get cheaper rates while over-the-counter exchanges are much more expensive.

Still interested?

So how do you begin engaging in this business? Multi-level marketing or MLM is a form of network marketing that uses nothing but word-of-mouth. That is your only investment in the business, your ability to talk to people and convince them of how much savings they can make. As mentioned before, this can easily be a home-based business. More than that, you don't have to fulfill a quota. If you don't sell any travel packages, you don't earn anything-but you also don't lose anything. However if you do get to sell a package, you'll get a commission.

This business opportunity is so simple and clear. If you don't get to sell any travel packages, you don't earn anything, you don't lose anything either! But if you sell a lot, you also earn a lot. That is the beauty of the travel business.

Unfortunately, many people think that network marketing is actually the pyramid scamming that gets people in debt. This is why you should know the processes of MLM before you engage in the business. Make sure that the agency that you'll apply at, is legitimate and trustworthy. There are many ways with which you can protect yourself from such scams. Avoid those and start travelling or earning money!
