If you are seriously considering a home based business opportunity, there are hundreds of good options. There are network marketing companies, affiliate businesses, ebay ideas and direct sales opportunities. After examining all of the above, my choice was Global Resorts Network.

According to a report by the Travel Industry Association (tia.org), 740 billion dollars were spent inside the US alone by domestic and foreign travelers, in the year 2007. Worldwide, travel spending is estimated at 7 trillion dollars each year! The travel industry, no doubt, is big business.

The Global Resorts membership gives you access to over 5,000 luxury resorts, all over the world for a one-time enrollment fee. There are no recurring annual maintenance fees, and no blackouts or limitations on when and where you can travel. Simply choose your destination, book and confirm your reservation and pay the deeply discounted rate, which is currently $299-$799 per week.

Comparing the resort costs on sites such as Orbitz and Travelocity, you will discover that GRN’s membership will save you anywhere from 40%-75% on the exact same locations and dates. And this is not do-it-yourself travel. Global Resorts has a professional customer service center to assist in planning and booking your trip. This is not a bargain basement type of travel membership.

Your Global Resorts Membership is not a time-share. You will not be limited to just one or two weeks per year, nor will you be hit with annual maintenance fees and other miscellaneous charges.

Global Resorts offers two levels of membership. The Gold Membership Level is currently $1495 for three years access. The Platinum Membership, currently $2995, offers lifetime access. Since the average American family spends several thousand dollars for a single week of vacation, it’s easy to see how the GRN membership is an excellent investment.

Anyone who purchases the Gold or Platinum membership with GRN also has the option of becoming a sales affiliate. Depending on the amount of time and effort you can put into this business, you can earn a part-time income or a nice full-time income.

As a GRN affiliate, you can earn $500 commissions for Gold memberships and $1,000 commissions for Platinum memberships. There are bonus overrides also built into the compensation plan. This is not an Aussie ‘two up’ plan. You will pass up your first commission to your sponsor, but all subsequent commissions will belong to you.

When your new person makes their first sale, that commission will roll up to you. And because of this feature of the compensation plan, each sponsor is very motivated to assist new people with their marketing efforts.

You can market your new Global Resorts business by using the default corporate site, or you can choose one or more approved online marketing systems. A few examples would be Global Pro Builder, Truth to Wealth, the Reverse Funnel system and GRN Bizbuilder.
