What Attracted You to the Internet, Was it to Make Money From Home?

Think about it my friend. If you are reading this, you are either looking for information on Discount Travel or you are looking to make money from home. 

When I run across something on the Internet that involves "Spending Money", I look for one of two things.

•  Can I get it at a Discount?
• Can I get it at no-cost or be paid by using it?

The second part of this is where I look at a product or service from the aspect of online marketing. If you are online for the purpose of having your own home business, then you have to look at products and services from the aspect of "can I use this service and is it beneficial for me to sell it"? Years ago, I learned a very valuable lesson from someone that I signed up in a business opportunity. After she signed up, she stated, "Now I have to go and set up my Marketing System."

The Vacation World Traveler

This is the name of this Blog, but what does it mean? I made a comment the other day to someone regarding my past employment and how I had No desire to put up with some of the situations that arose in that environment. He commented back, "yea, you're retired, you don't need that!" Really, I'm not retired at all. Others think I'm retired because they don't know what I am doing here on the Internet!

The Vacation World Traveler is about living that lifestyle as if you are retired so you can do what you want. Our limiting factors are really our children's schedules. We love going up to Yellowstone National Park but we just couldn't figure out how to fit it in between baseball and school starting. Now that I am involved in a Travel Business, I'm looking forward to doing more travel and to include International Travel.

What does it take to make money from home? I will tell you this, you DO NOT just sign up and wait for the money to roll in! It does not work that way! You have to let other people know the business opportunity is available to them.  This is where the rubber meets the road. This is Network Marketing at it's best. (Not the old-school way to build an Online Business, either.) What do I mean by this? Do you really want to talk to your cousin, your brother or your mother to "Join Your Business?" Of course not. This is why the Internet has changed the face of Online Business ownership forever. Are you ready to look into an Online Business and learn how to market it online without dealing with all the negative people?

How to Find Great Vacation Deals

If you are in the Travel Industry, you probably know where to find the best deals! Unfortunately, these deals are only available to the people in the Travel Industry.

Of course, I could just end this blog post right here and tell you to go get a job in the Travel and Leisure Industry! (Actually, that is exactly what I am going to tell you!)

Well, Actually, that is not what I'm going to tell you. If you wanted a job in the Travel and Tourism Industry, you would probably be printing off Resumes and getting them in the hands of the Airlines, Resorts or Worldwide Family Attraction businesses. Alternatively, you may not even want to be making a job change. And there is always the possibility that you just need to make some extra money and you are trying to find out how to make money from home. You may have even been trying to find a Home Business and just stumbled onto this article.

What I am going to introduce to you is a concept. This concept is to become a part of the Travel and Leisure Industry and participate in this lucrative $7 TRILLION DOLLAR per year Industry. 

Imagine this: You earn a $10K commission, receive a Travel Voucher worth $5K, and have right at your finger tips all the major Discount Travel that you can ever want!

Go ahead and pinch yourself because that is what you will be doing when you realize, yes you do have a piece of the Travel and Leisure Industry and you have as much freedom as you want. You want to visit Yosemite National Park in the Winter or go on a Carribean Cruise this Spring, you JUST DO IT!

What attracted you to the Internet? Was it to make money from home, learn how to have your own home business, or are you trying to find the best Discounts in Travel?

Learn How to Find and Build a Business from Home in Travel and Leisure

I can quote a number of people that have stated, "If you want to make money one the Internet, you need to find something that you are passionate about and sell a product that is related to that passion.

A friend of mine told me about the Travel Business that I am in. At the time, I wasn't interested but my curiosity got the better of me. What REALLY HAPPENED is: I STARTED DREAMING AGAIN ABOUT INTERNATIONAL VACATIONS!

You may not be passionate about International Travel or going on an Alaskan Cruise so maybe making money from home in the Travel Industry is not for you. You also have to consider that all businesses are NOT the same. Years ago, I wanted to join a certain Travel Business but the cost was prohibitive. It was a great business and at this time, I can look back and be glad I didn't. It would have been very difficult to build due to the initial cost and the monthly costs. Now I have my "Travel Business" that has much more reasonable initial cost and no monthly costs.

What is it that Drives You?

You can have a "need" but you may not be able to fulfill it because you have nothing to "Drive" you to accomplish your goal. If this were the case, we wouldn't have people without food, clothing or shelter.

You may have lost your job just this month! Have you decided that's it, I give up? No way!

Sometimes we don't see someone's "Drive" until they have their back against the "WALL". Think back of a time that you had no way out and you overcame the obstacles in your path and everyone around you were amazed! I did it in college. My Freshman year, a Junior commented to me, "What are you going to do when you wash out?" That was all the DRIVE I needed to graduate 4 years later!

What about your drive?


Even if you found the "right" Business Opportunity, what do you do then? Do you know how to build a home business? Do you know what a "Marketing Tool" is? Do you know how to pick your Marketing System?

How to Make Money Online with Discount Travel

Someone asked me the other day, "How do you make money online?" My answer: I introduce people to a new concept of purchasing Discount Travel Packages while earning money from commissions." 

Now that's quite a mouthful of information crammed into a little sentence. Of course, this is a means of making money from home that a lot of people are looking for today. I'm not a Travel Agent and I am a Travel Agent, huh? You see, I am my own Travel Agent. Yesterday, I was talking about GOING TO TAHITI and the day before, I was talking about MAKING YOUR DREAMS A REALITY. The day before that, I was talking about CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN FOR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Earlier today, I made an entry talking about, "WHAT IS YOUR DREAM ESCAPE?"

I hate to be blunt (and this is also directed at myself) but, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ACHIEVE THIS VACATION GOAL?

The reason I wrote about Tahiti was to demonstrate how close we come to loosing these goals (or letting them go). I also stated that one of my Vacation Goals I had already let go! That goal: Take a HORSEBACK RIDING TRIP FROM COLORADO TO ALASKA!

You may just be in dire need to make money now online and really are not concerned about taking a European Vacation or a Carribean Cruise. Let me assure you, what drives us is not desperation it is aspiration.

If we can help, let us know.

The Purpose of a Travel Business is to Travel

Why do we do what we do?

When I think of World wide Travel, International Travel or European Vacations, I drift back to my childhood. I was raised in a Military family and spent 8 of my first 10 years out of the United States. The last 5 of those years we spent in Europe.

Shortly after my sister started working, her God Father asked her to go on a European Vacation with him because he wanted to take his niece and thought it would be better if he took someone else along with them. My sister had so much fun on that trip that when she returned, she started working in the Travel Industry for one of the major airlines.

My mother was fortunate to continue to travel because of my sister's employment in the Travel Industry. We use to joke that my sister would call her on her way home saying we are going to ... My mother would have her bags packed and waiting at the door.

I didn't have the "Travel Bug" as they say but never the less, I really do enjoy traveling. I didn't have access to the Travel Discounts that are available to people in the Travel Industry so my travel was limited. NOW, it is TIME to catch up. It IS Time to DREAM again and revisit those old goals and desires.

What is your "Dream Escape"? Yesterday, I wrote about my desire to go to Tahiti. This is not the top of my list. The top of my list is to take an Alaskan Cruise and to take a Carribean Cruise. What is YOUR "Dream Escape"?

If we can help, let us know.

Are You Going to Tahiti?

I don't really know why I just started thinking of Tahiti! I guess when you start dreaming of being a Vacation World Traveler again, these thoughts return. Yes, I said, "these thoughts return." In the 1960's, my mother used to watch this television show called, "Adventures in Paradise". Every once in a while, I would sit down with her and watch the show. It was breathe taking and adventurous. I always knew someday I would make it to the South Pacific.

How about you? You see, for me, going to Tahiti isn't a high priority on my list of "Dream Vacations" but it is never-the-less on the list. I almost forgot about this particular desire. Do you have your "local" destination vacations such as Disney Land and Disney World or some of the National Parks (my family's favorite is Yellowstone National Park)? We also live right next to Rocky Mountain National Park so we get an annual pass for just this park.

Yes, "LIFE" gets in the way! No Kidding!

We love going to Yellowstone National Park and it is not too far away so we can do this on the spur of the moment. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years, we just can't find the time even at the spur of the moment. The kids are in sports and we have a hard time working some of our vacations around their sports. This year, we are going away for Thanksgiving. This is a time we normally do not travel but you just have to make sacrifices to get your vacations in!

If you are online to secure your finances or avoid the negative aspects of this crippling economy, you might want to look into some of our marketing systems.

Where Dream Vacations are no Object

Have you been there before? You have vacation time and decide to stay home instead and "Paint" the house!

What is your "Dream Get Away"? If you are building a business for yourself and your family, I bet you have one (or two). My "Dream Vacation" was to take a month long trail ride by horse from Colorado to Alaska. I have now put that dream on the shelve. How many of your dreams are on the shelve now that you are older?


Recently, I decided I better start dreaming again. Do you know if you keep a goal in front of you, you will find a way to reach that goal? The problem is when a way is presented to you, you must act on it. I know a lot of people on the Internet treat life as if it were a lottery game. "Just Buy a Ticket and YOU WILL BE THE NEXT MILLIONAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You don't read about the people that took there bread money to buy a ticket and didn't win, do you?


I'm not talking about "LOTTERY MENTALITY" What I am talking about is making your Dreams Your Reality! I recently published an entry in this blog about chasing Elk up a Mountain on Christmas Day several years ago. I was sitting here at my computer looking out the window at a blizzard. This jarred my memory and gave me a great reflection on a time that my life felt like a Vacation.
