    I’ve been checking out your videos, and I love the content you’re creating. It looks like you’ve got great potential, but I noticed some opportunities to optimize your videos for more views and reach. I specialize in UA-cam video SEO and can help your channel get the visibility it deserves. If you’re interested, I’d love to offer a quick free audit of one of your videos to show you how I can help. Let me know if that sounds good!

    Your video was the most perfect one I could listen to without skipping or subscribing. You answered all the questions I was going to ask. I certainly will start part-time. I won't kick my job to the curb just yet. I went on a cruise for the first time a week ago, and next year, if God permits and I am alive, I will travel on the Icon of the Seas. Now, one question. What can I look out for when choosing a Host agency. Please which one is the best. For me, Support and Training is very important. I am ready to join, I just don't know who.

    Just starting out, focusing on branding, building website, getting email lists. Investing in travel for experience, building relationships with supplier/partners. Taking class with TI for CTA. I wish to go with luxury travel. I totally get the summary of travel business phases. I need to plan the best way to advance through the phases, realizing it will take time. That's ok as I work full-time.

    Once you sign up with an agency. And you get training from the sales of the places. Where do you find villa rates that are not the cost of a small home. How does one become an agent that can help people but earn a living?

    This video is funny! It's a clarification of the "products and services" available for high net-worth clients. Simply purchasing this products and services by no means defines "luxury" travel. Having a doorman smile, take your luggage and make small talk on an elevator at a five star hotel, is no more different than if the same thing was done at a Travel Lodge. There is absolutely nothing "luxurious" about merely meeting client expectations. The simplistic definition of luxury as used in this video is comical.

    Why isn't there more training about DMC's in the travel industry? I feel most aligned with what DMC's are creating and very little information about how to learn more. Some travel agents say they are more risky to use because they are not regulated. Do clients lose their money if they go out of business before they travel?
