...it make a profit or not.? I have always wanted to work from home, and it makes since to have a travel website, because almost everyone orders their flight and vaction deals on the computer. Has anyone heard of this is this a scam. The company is listed on the Better Business Bureau Website. I have researched it, and have not found anything bad about the company. The company works with priceline.com, hotels.com and so on.

I am familiar with YTB. They are a multi-level marketing company and they are what is called a "card mill" in the industry. They sell you "travel agent credentials" and a replicated website where you can earn 60% commission on travel booked from your site. They lure is that you can receive travel agent discounts on your own travel, such as fam trips. The truth is that you are not really a travel agent, which requires much more than the $500 up-front and $50 a month that YTB is asking. I can tell you from experience that you will not make much money from selling travel on your site. The 60% commission is based on what the company receives and that is generally a very small amount, for example, you would do well to make a couple of dollars from someone booking a flight on your site. Group travel and Cruises pay a little better. The money is made on the recruiting side and so you'll find yourself promoting the business as your main source of income. Travel is a wonderful industry and there are many other card mills that you should look into for comparison, should you decide to invest your time and money, but be warned that the industry does not favor the card mill operations and the FTC is looking closely at these operations. You will still find many deals for your personal travel, such as 10% off hotel stays, but the industry is getting wise to these operations and fewer opportunities exist today than just a few years ago. So, if it's personal travel you want, then go ahead. You can write of part of your travel expense as business. If you like the whole mlm concept, it's not a bad way to go, but I feel there are better opportunities out there. If you want to sell travel to other people, then you should persue a legitimate path to attain your IATAN credentials and not rely on YTB. If you choose to join YTB, then my advice is to advertise via search marketing. I received an average of 90 inquiries a day while promoting travel for GTTrends. You can also google "home-based travel agents" or visit sites like WorldVentures or GTI or Global Travel Trends to find alternatives to YTB. You'll find the prices vary from one to another. Just be aware that the only way you are going to do well is "sign up" as many people as you can and hope that they do the same. Good Luck on your decision.

My belief system with YTB Travel and Cruises is very high. d I am a Power Team leader with YTB, and I have attended many company events, the National Convention, in St. Louis, last August, have met the 3 owners and co founders of the company, Lloyd Tomer, Scott Tomer, and Kim Sorenson, on numerous occasions. After being one of the top 200 in Power Team sales during the period of Aug. 2006 through Nov. 30, 2006, my husband and I were winners of the Coach Tomer;s Birthday Bash contest, out of a little over 60,000 referring travel agents in our company. We are being mentored by the Coach Lloyd Tomer to succeed even further with our remarkable compensation program. I have found true success with YTB, both with the Travel side of our program and the marketing side of the program. Yes, I have gotten upgrades, perks, and professional courtesies and benefits, after showing our RTA credential card, from YTB, when checking into hotels and picking up our rental cars. I have SAVED money going on those great FAM trips that are offered to referring travel agents in our company. I also have made checks with commas in them, as well, by building a team of Referring travel agent owners. I cannot say enough positive things about our company! We have started something really exciting - our very own Internet travel business! We offer the same great values as the highly advertised sites, and our confirmations come from all the same airlines, hotels, resorts, cruise lines, etc. We believe that our site is one of the best travel and vacation websites on the Internet today, and it is powered by Travelocity. We love the fact that we have access to our very own ticketmaster, as well, and can buy flowers on our website and make commissions, help others to have a honeymoon registry and make commissions on their own honeymoon and all the lodging, air fare, and rental cars that their out of town family and guests will book somewhere on the internet, anyway, book concerts, sports events, golf tee times, and so much more, on our website, and get the commission for doing all that and even more...Tonight at our weekly Tuesday meeting, at the Your Ticket to Paradise Travel Center, that is paid for by the top money earner in the company, Rick Ricketts, KIM SORENSON, one of the 3 owners/co founders of YTB spoke...He shared how there will be an article, in Travel Weekly, listing YTB as one of the Top 50 travel agencies in the US...yes, our company sells TRAVEL...alot of travel...Travel is YTB’s business. Our 2007 goal is $1 billion in travel bookings! Travel Weekly came to us in Jan. of this new year, and they said that they no longer consider us a “discount card mill company�. YTB booked 2 ½ times as much travel as last year. Travel Weekly came to our owners and said that we have to be recognized, now. YTB is a major player in the travel industry, and our RTA credential will become one of the most respected in this industry, next to CLIA and the IATAN card. YTB Travel Network earned the Pinnacle Award, in 2004, 2005, and 2006, for outstanding Partnership and Production.Carnival Cruise Lines’ top award for selling.Less than 175 travel agencies in the United States and Canada are recipients of this recognitions of an agency’s tremendous support of Carnival Cruise Lines. I hope that I have given you some more insight about our great company. If you need further questions answered, we will be looking for your new questions...best wishes in your decision to make YTB a part of your life!You can have YOUR own site, too. Do you want to hear more about how YOU, too, can have your own site, save money on travel, that you are going to book anyway, and have some great tax benefits. as well as MAKE money from telling others that you have an internet travel website?
