- How To Find Clients As A Home-Based Travel Agent? // I’ve been in the travel business for over 25 years, and I have got to tell you: it has never been easier to inform potential clients of why they should use your particular travel agency.
In the old days, you would get clients by word of mouth, print 📰 advertisements, signs, and even… heaven help me… cold 📞 calls. It’s a wonder any travel agency ever got any clients.
But now, just look at the avenues of communication you have access to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, UA-cam, Twitch, TikTok… the list seems endless. And if you actually know how to use social media to grow your travel agency, you can promote your agency to millions of potential clients all over the 🌎 world.
So where do you start? Do you have to pay for advertising? Can you use the same material on multiple platforms? Are there certain platforms that are more likely to grow your travel agency than others? How do you prioritize these platforms? Can you use social media to grow your travel agency even if you aren’t particularly social media savvy in your personal life? 🤔
Here’s the best thing I can tell you right off the bat. If you want to use social media, don’t just jump into the deep end head first. You should have a plan. A true social media strategy for growing your travel agency.

Congratulations! I'm looking to start my own travel business as well but I don't know where to start from. I'm doing my research but the information is too basic and it doesn't give me the information I need to start my business. Do you have any tips on how to start?
@@paolinasarbeva1104 Hi Paolina! Did you find more information about getting started in the business? I know you posted your question months ago so I just wanted to follow up.
Excited to watch this video! I get about 3 or 4 unique leads per week. I just started at the beginning of this month, but I posted on a few Facebook groups & have been getting leads from those :)
Wonderful!
I am new to your site
Can you show me a template of what you posted?
What are some of the groups you post in on FB?

Good day,
I’m extremely new to the travel agent world and to your page, but I already love it here! I have a very quick question, I think. Is there a way to market to a few different audiences. For instance, trying to get cruise clients, Disney/families, and LUXE travel? Your help is much appreciated ❤
Hi Sheika,
That is definitely a loaded question but I would say when marketing on social media (depending on the platform), make sure you are using hashtags related to what audience you are trying to reach. Use all the platforms possible because you can get leads from anywhere. UA-cam is great for long-form content like room tours or my day at Disney. Tik Tok is great for short clips. Instagram you can do almost anything on and same with Facebook. Ads are big when trying to hit target audiences. I find UA-cam & Facebook are the best for ads. I hope that helps!
I've not got the 1st nibble! I've only been in it since the past Dec...I Brought the New Years In On It! I wanted a New Start!!!
I'm new. Looking to start and finally live out my dreams.

Hi, welcome to the channel!
New❤️
New! I just started my travel business. Im a little nervous about getting established/finding new customers.
How is it going now
Is your class more for agency owners and independent agents or is it for agents that are with a host agency?
New😊
Welcome! 🦋
Because when i call to customers they said we are not interested and we don't want to go anywhere an all that. So please give me some tips
hello, cydni how does one become a well placed or well informed agent? how do you get suppliers and vendors? do you teach sort of the base rules and resources or how to develop this in your class?
We are a family tour company from Morocco. Would be interesting to connect
Hi, I'm new 😊
New! I love cruising and have cruised approximately 20+ times. I have been approached to become a travel agent on a part time basis. I’m 56 and looking for new job opportunities for when I retire. I accepted the job. I’m am still doing the certification programs for Royal and Norwegian and need to jump on Disney in January. But while this is going on I also want to work on how to get clients. What worries me is I have put together all my cruise vacations and I’m nervous doing this for other people. Any comments are welcome. Keep in mind I also have a full time job which is wearing me down but like anything else I need to stay full time for benefits.
Hi Karen,
It is definitely scary at first but once you get the first few clients under your belt, you will feel much better! It sounds like you have some great experience & the certification programs should help as well. You will have time during your research phase to really dig deep into the websites & find the best bookings for your clients. This is a great side gig! Deep breath- you got this!
Hi am just on the road of starting a business for traveling agents my worry is how to start how I can get contact with customers and how to get the link

Hello Friend am New here, am in Africa started my new travel company, i find it hard to get clients, i would like to get a tour agent.
What are the pitches
Here's something from the customer side... I was searching some of my favorite UA-cam travel agents, and I'm finding that a lot of them don't have websites, or they haven't optimized their site for search engines to make them show on the the first page of the search. I'm finding a lot of Facebook and Instagram pages and twitter accounts, but the only social media I use is UA-cam.
Thanks Ray! Optimization is key for sure.
Hi! I am currently finishing an AA in Business Management with a Certification in Marketing and I am taking an online course on Digital Marketing. As someone who wants to have his own business and work with people I might have found that this might be something very interesting to use all these skills I am using. You see people making 1/2k a month going part-time? Thank you for all of your videos!
Hi There! That is great, I am so happy for you! Making 1-2K a month is very doable if you are willing to put the work in. Think of it like this: if you book 2 trips a month at 5K each, you would make a commission of 1K. If you book 2 trips a month at 10K each, you would make a commission of 2K. Most commission runs at 10% of total sales so I would say it is absolutely doable!
There is a hotel business that sends u the customers but they get 70% of the commissions but it's b2b
Let me know which one it is
What would you say would be the targeting ages for a travel advisor that doesn’t have a specialty per se? For example, I don’t specialize in something specific … I’m familiar with a lot of travel so I help my clients in all things travel like all inclusive vacations, cruise packages, flights, hotels, etc.
Hi Shannon! You would say you are full service, meaning you are open to booking anything!
Awesome 🤩 thank you so much for your reply. Question, since I am a full service agent what should be my targeting ages? I’ve always had an issue in determining what’s my targeting market. Thanks in advance for your help 😊
20 leads, but few closure
My travel business is 7months old and my first client went to Dubai and he was a friend referral
Thats amazing! Congratulations! 🤩🦋
Thanks, I'm currently working on 6 potential clients who are also friend referral for Botswana Safari and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. I sent a quote I'm waiting for them to decide weather to take it or not, I hope they so. I have just started posting my first social media ad, I just wanted to know how long should I keep the the ad running, would it be wise to keep it there till it's deadline, because I hear a lot of consistency is the key?
Thats great! I hope you can close those clients as well. As for ads, it really depends on which platform you are doing ads on. For our companies, we have been testing many different ads & there isn't "just one way" that works. You will have to test different kinds of ads to see which kinds reach your target audience. I hope that helps!
Thanks for the advise will run the steps as well on my side . I hope one day you will visit South Africa and when you do hala at me atleast 6weeks prior to avail myself I will come see you where you are. I'm based in Johannesburg.
Noted! If I ever find myself in Africa, I will reach out! 🦋
