I. OVERVIEW
We have 2 options for becoming a certified Golf & Travel Consultant

Option 1 - Golf Only
We'll show you how to get involved with your local golf community and (a) make money helping golfers, courses & local charity events, (b) save money on golf-related expenses and (c) play free golf.

Option 2 - Golf & Travel
Create additional personal savings and increase your earnings potential by acquiring a Leisure Travel Consultant (LTC) certification with our designated licensed and bonded travel agency. LTC's pay the lowest wholesale prices available on travel plus receive their travel certification and their own personal travel website from which you earn commissions when travel is booked.

III. HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE?
   
The 2 revenue sources consist of (1) golf-related activities and (2) travel-related activities.
 
1 - For golf-related activities, Golf and Travel Consultants can earn as much as $40-$45/hr but typically earn $12-$25/ hr when conducting golf tournament contests (usually 5-7 hrs).  Additionally, we pay a 10% referral commission for any referred Golf Connect product or service purchase.

NOTE: Golf & Travel Consultants (GTC's) may choose to do only golf-related activities (option 1) or both (option 2).  As with any job or business, the more time and effort you put in, the more you get in return. GTC's may also start with Option 1 and upgrade to Option 2 at any time.

V. HOW MUCH CAN I SAVE?
    
Being in the golf & travel industry, you'll save money and we'll also show you how to work with local golf courses to get free golf which can save many golfers hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. 

Additionally, according to Sandy Botkin (CPA and past Auditor for the IRS and author of Lower Your Taxes!), business owners receive significant tax advantages. Consult reference guides or your local tax professional for more details. Click here to view an exerpt from Mr. Botkin's Lower Your Taxes! that introduces the concept of having a home-based business that involves your passion (eg. golf/ travel).

VI. HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?
    
You may work as much or as little as you desire. GTC's can be successful working this as little as 5 hours a month. Many consultants spend more effort on the golf-side during the spring/ summer and more effort on the travel-side come fall-winter.

VII. HOW COME IT IS $0 TO GET STARTED (AS A LEVEL 1 GTC)?

We here at Golf Connect have realized over the past 10 years that our best advertising is word of mouth. When golfers like you play in our events, go on our trips, and experience our products and services first hand, it becomes natural to tell others.

Rather than spend money on traditional marketing (newspaper, radio, tv), our goal is to have thousands of golfers nationwide sharing what we do with others and we feel as though you deserve to be compensated for your efforts - hence our offering to pay commissions to those who refer others.

Best of all, you can continue to do what you are already doing - golfing, traveling, playing in fun golf events - we'll just show you how to channel your spending through your own home-based business so that you can save money, earn a supplemental income AND enjoy the tax advantages of being "in the golf business".
