Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 57 cruises over the last four years so took that first cruise and it worked getting that part-time gig because I was able to cruise more

I literally get four to five messages almost daily from people asking how can I become a travel agent

I am not a salesperson so if it wasn't for YouTube social media my business probably wouldn't be where it is

The startup cost is a lot less a lot of other business ventures so if you're trying to figure out what kind of small business can I do

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Decide on a niche (e.g., cruises only) rather than trying to do everything
✓Be self-driven and tech-savvy as most work is online
✓Expect to wait for commissions until clients travel; budget accordingly
✓Consider content creation as a marketing tool but it's not required

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not getting paid immediately; commissions come after clients travel — Push through the first year; once you have regular clients, you'll get paid weekly
Dealing with difficult clients or those who don't read information — Be patient and establish clear business hours and communication guidelines
