I’m back from my fam to China “WOW” The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Terra-Cotta Soldiers and so much more. This is a dream come true. This is such a cool business, I’m sending you some pictures. Carol W. Atlanta, GA

1. Become a part time home-based travel agent. Earn extra cash selling to friends, family and get paid to book your own vacations.

2. Full time home-based travel agents. They put in the time and effort to learn the insider secrets that bring in a substantial middle-class income. There are even some agents who earn six-figure incomes.

This is NOT a Get-Rich-Scheme or MLM. Those who make large sums of money work at it and earn every penny. How much money a person makes and how hard they have to work to make it, varies from person to person. It may sound like a cliche, but how much money you make is up to you.

Q: What is a average commission?
The average commission is $450 per 7 night Cruise or Vacation Package with a family of four.

• 25 Clients X $450 = $ 11,250 per year in commissions

I just booked my first group cruise. It’s a fund raiser for our church. So far I have 35 cabins deposited. I am hoping to sell 50 cabins. This is such a win win program. The church gets the money it needs, my friends at church get a great group discount and I will be getting a BIG commission check and I get to Cruise for FREE.
