Here are 5 things nobody tells you before you start:
1. EVERYONE YOU KNOW WILL ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM.
Friends. Family. Coworkers. Acquaintances.
“Can you get me a better price?”
Suddenly you’re everyone’s personal travel department.
2. YOU’LL RESEARCH WAY MORE TRIPS THAN YOU BOOK.
Hours comparing flights, hotels, cruises and resorts.
You send the options.
“I’ll think about it.”
And that’s it.
3. YOU’LL HAVE CONSTANT CONVERSATIONS THAT GO NOWHERE.
Questions. Research. Quotes. Follow-ups.
Then…
🦗🦗🦗
4. YOU’LL FIND THEM AN INCREDIBLE PRICE… AND THEY’LL STILL BOOK IT THEMSELVES.
You find the flight.
You find the hotel.
You save them money.
They check your price, realize yours is BETTER…
…and book direct anyway.
5. THEN YOU LOOK AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA AND REALIZE EVERYONE IS DOING THE SAME DAMN THING.
Same destinations.
Same beaches.
Same cruises.
Same “Book with me!” posts.
And you start wondering:
“Is the travel niche dead?”
No.
But generic travel marketing?
THAT is the problem.
Pretty vacation pictures and “DM me for a quote” aren’t a strategy.
If you want people to choose YOU, you need to give them a reason.
