Flying to Beijing - Shopping for Knock-Offs

Found an good article all about one shopper’s experience in the Chinese street markets like the Pearl Market and the Silk Market in Beijing, and the street markets in Shanghai.


This shopper tells of the atmosphere and the haggling process in the Chinese knock-off markets. You can almost image yourself there as he and his wife shop for knock-off purses, golf equipment, Swiss watch replicas, etc.

PTN Freedom Training Com

This is from the PTN freedom training web site.



"Just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my new venture with Pro Travel Network.
 
I needed a room in Red Deer.  So in looking around I got a room priced at $159.00 for $84.00.   What an incredible savings!
 
Being my own travel agent will save me money and pay for itself in no time, whether I book for others or not.
Thank You Sheila for bringing this to my attention.
 
I'll keep you informed on any further great deals I'll be making in the future."
Thank you for the PTN freedom training web site

Travel Agent Rates at the Fairmont Edmonton
Just wanted to let you know I had the opportunity to stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Edmonton this weekend. Following Mr. Anil Ramcharitar's testimonial about his trip last November, I did the Fairmont course and booked as a travel agent....got a room with 2 beds for $109, including an extended check-out of 2 pm!! My son Darin was singing at the Winspear Centre in Edmonton and it
was going to be a late night and an early morning, so we usually spend a
night at a hotel. Our usual stay at the Holiday Inn Express was going to
cost $145....and the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald was an amazing property to be on....you should have seen the fitness centre, sauna, steam room and pool....fabulous!


Love PTN freedom training dot com.

Watstat Site Like Wikipedia

You can see there are allot of other webmasters who are trying to build their own Wiki sites these days. My favorite Wiki platform is DokuWiki, and there are others using exactly the same software as Wikipedia.


A good example is this site, called Watstat. They use the Wikipedia software platform for their site. Interesting to me anyway.


I think Watstat is supposed to mean “What’s That?” Hmmm…

Being a Home Based Travel Agent

Many people have the desire to work from home or to be their own boss. For those people that have a love of travel and foreign countries, starting their own home based travel business may be the ideal career change.


When you work within the travel industry, you will get to learn about many different places and help others visit the destinations of their dreams. The increase in people starting their own home based travel business may be directly due to the increase in people’s ability and need to travel.


Today, more and more people travel for business and pleasure. All kinds of travel are much more accessible to the average person these days; therefore the need for independent travel agents has also increased.


Furthermore, many businesses now outsource staff or have offices all over the world, which requires a significant amount of travel.


Starting a home based travel business can be an arduous task, but in the long run very fulfilling. Starting a home business of any kind takes a great deal of motivation, time, effort, and start up money.


Although the business may not be as profitable as you would hope immediately, it will grow and expand over a period of time.


Once you have started your home based travel business, it is a great idea to choose a specialty. While it is perfectly fine to offer all variations of travel, both domestic and abroad, it may be in your best interest to specialize.

New Blog and Forum for Pro Travel Network agents

Found this post about the launch of the Pro Travel Network blog and forum. Thought you might want to know about this two-man team.


Well there is a Pro Travel Network Forum, and Pro Travel Network blog launching. Brent Truitt, and Anil Anil Ramcharitar are heading up the domain, @ www.ptnfreedom.com.


I’ve personally joined the Pro Travel Network ranks, and will be taking part in their online community. I’ve never been much for MLM businesses, but this is a good gig. Nothing like Amway! Look into it and you’ll see what I mean.


I recommend new-comers actually go to the PTN blog and use the phone number (Anil’s). Give him a call, and he’ll explain the whole PTN business –how it works, how you get paid, and how to join Pro Travel Network through him.


If you are smart, which I assume you are, cause you are reading my blog, you’ll join Anil and Brent, cause their team is going to make allot of money.


I signed up with these guys yesterday…
