How to Start a Travel Business for Less Than $25/month

How much 💲 money would you pay to start a life-changing travel business that can put you on the road to living the laptop life, working on the 🏖️ beach, and enjoying abundance that gives you peace of mind?  

It would be easy to say, “Oh, I’d give ANYTHING to start my travel business,” but in reality, it’s a hard world out there and not everybody can afford to blow their nest egg on a dream.  After all, starting a travel business costs a LOT of money…  

Doesn’t it?  

What if I said you could technically start your travel business for less than $25/month???

Someone recently asked me about the least expensive way to start an agency.  I thought sharing this with everyone else would be helpful, especially if you’re on a tight budget to start your new business.  

Assuming you have a phone, computer, and reliable internet access, here are some tips on how you can get everything in place for less than $25 a month.  🦩🐠☀️🌴🌺 

  1. Consult my free Guide to Selecting a Reputable Host – some hosts have very low startup fees, as low as $20/month.  If you are going with a host, this can be a very inexpensive starting point, especially because some hosts will provide:
    1. Free CRM
    2. Free Template Website
    3. Opportunity to begin your business with no LLC required 
  2. Create a logo on Canva for free (you can always upgrade later) 
  3. Send your launch letter electronically 
  4. Lean into video for marketing – it’s free!
  5. Seek out business-to-business opportunities to cross-promote each other’s businesses 
  6. Host virtual events 
  7. Visit local hotels, ask to meet with their sales rep to tour the property, and create content, videos, and marketing from your free visit.  
  8. Join the Careers on Vacation Facebook group for support and community 
  9. Subscribe to our YouTube channel for weekly videos 
  10. Participate in my free Master Class:  5 Shifts To A Six Figure Travel Business And Beyond!

Of course everyone will have a different level of financial investment they can afford for their businesses, especially when you’re just starting out.  Adding the paid, optional pieces of the puzzle as you go – and grow – is perfectly okay!  

Fun fact: 🌴 My agency, Tripsy Travel, sold its first million with a template website! 🌴 

If you have money to spend on boosting your business right off the bat, that’s great.  If not, that’s fine, too. 

However, do not let a tight budget be a reason to hold you back.  The most important thing is to get started.  

You got this!  🐠☀️🌴🌺
