YTB to Launch Your Car Biz

YTB has quietly launched new features and offerings for it's RTA's over the last several months. YTB Golf was launch back in October, 2006 right around the Funshine Trade show in Orlando, and YTB Flowers was launched just in time for Valentines Day in late January of 2007. We just got word that YTB will be launching Your Car Biz in June, 2007. This new addition will enable RTA’s to sell and purchase cars from their travel website for $200 below Dealer Invoice anywhere in the country. When a car is purchased through their website, the sale generates a $500 gross commission. RTA's earn 60% of the commission, or $300. Initially they will offer new Chrysler, Dodge and Nissans as well as pre-owned vehicles. YTB has plans to expand this program, working with many other dealerships and manufacturers, of which this poster is hoping for Cadillac will be in the mix, and as we get more details we will pass them on to you.

Did you know that the average Power Team leader in YTB earns $1325 a month! Also the average Coaches Corner member earns $5465 per month, and the average YTB Director earns $29,187 per month! How do you reach these levels? You are in your Power Team once you complete your First Team with 3 personally sponsored RTA’s and a total of 6 RTA’s of any combination. You achieve the Coach’s Corner honor by having 30 RTA’s in your power team. You become a Director once you have 500 total RTA’s. Does that seem impossible to you?

Phyllis Nash is one of our newest Directors, and she became a Director in 5 months working YTB PART TIME. She said the secret to her success is she set a goal to share the YTB opportunity with one person a day. Since, December 2, 2006 she has done just that. Can you imagine if you shared YTB with 7 new people a week how much your business would grow. If your goal is to be a Power Team leader, in Coach’s Corner or a Director. Even working YTB part time you can achieve great things!

We've also been busy attending some local events for travel agents this past month. Attending the Atlanta Agent at Home Expo. This was a fun evening where many vendors shared with home-based agents how to promote travel to their locations and it included a free dinner. This past Wednesday we both attended a Sandals/Beaches Unveiling (also another free event that included dinner). Sandals just spent countless millions at several of their resorts in upgrades and features and they wanted to share this with their travel partners. These resorts are beautiful and they really pamper your customers. Sandals loves travel agents and rewards them well for bookings. The average Sandals booking generates $650 in commissions. Many of our team who live here in Atlanta were able to attend these events with us, and as we find out about events like this in your area we will pass the information on to you. These events are very educational and help you build your travel client base.

This summer should be exciting times for YTB. We'd love to let the cat out of the bag on some other news, but until we get word from the Home Office, "Mums the word". You'll just have to check back to see what other exciting features, advantages, and benefits YTB has to offer.

A Ride For 3 Reasons

After a very busy weekend, I was going through my e-mail this morning and found this story that was sent to me about Bob Lee, a 65 year old blogger who is riding his bicycle 6,500 miles across the United States to raise money for charity.

Bob Lee is the man behind
A Ride For 3 Reasons, a cross-country bike ride to raise funding for the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and cancer, and to support hospice care. And Bob is donating every penny he raises (and I mean every penny – not one cent goes to expenses) to these three causes very near and dear to him. Because he has no marketing or expense budget, Bob is completely relying on donations and word-of-mouth to publicize his ride and to get donations.

Bob started his ride on March 22, and is
posting daily updates (including photos and videos) on the blog during his ride. He also has a message board for people to share their stories and thoughts.

Quicken Loans is proud to be a sponsor of A Ride For 3 Reasons and we are privileged to have been given the opportunity to donate the new web site and blog for Bob’s ride, (
www.3reasons.org).

The buzz is already starting and Bob’s original goal of $195,000 raised has already been met and he is just starting the ride. His new goal of $500,000 should be a piece of cake. With your help to promote A Ride For 3 Reasons, perhaps Bob will raise $1 million before his ride ends in October. It all goes to great causes, so there are only winners in this ride.
