Review of Cruise to Cash – A Home-Based Business or Farce?

Review of Cruise to Cash – A Home-Based Business or Farce?  

Article by Kristie Chiles







When I first joined Cruise to Cash a few months ago, I was very excited. And I still am excited. Here is why. I thought it a good idea to tell you of the advantages to owning your own Cruise to Cash site and tell you about the company and how it performs and to write a review of the benefits of this work at home business. This program offers not just a home business model for the newbie to the advanced marketer, it also offers you as the site owner a plethora of vacation vouchers that can be printed off at will. That is what enticed me to join and I haven’t looked back since. The vacation vouchers are unlimited and provide a 1-800 number to call to activate. You call the toll-free number, make you reservation to one of 700 destinations and vacation plans, pay a small activation fee and the voucher printed from your computer printer is replaced by an authentic vacation certificate that is mailed to you. The only costs is taxes for hotels, airlines and cruise port taxes which you would normally pay and a small monthly subscription fee to the person whose site you visit for membership. As a step up, after reading many testimonials on the web from site owners, I have recently gone a step further and signed up with an optional feature of the company – the Sales Center Site. I have never liked to sell, even when I was a Girl Scout and as an adult, hosted my share of Tupperware and Mary Kay parties so this was appealing and a perfect fit for me and my lifestyle. At the end of the parties, when the moment came to collect the payment, I always felt uncomfortable. I don’t like the idea of selling to my friends and family. That is the beauty of the Sales Center that I opted to join. I post ads to different ad companies provided by the back office and by the person to whom I joined under, and the Sales Center does all the selling, follow-up emails and follow-up calls. It is the best of both worlds. The man that I signed up under is currently earning K a month and is determined to succeed since he has personally filed for bankruptcy twice. Many others are making five and six figure incomes. These folks are the ones who market their site by typing ads on a regular basis and all of them use different methods to advertise. The ads you see for any company touting a home based business that says you can be lazy and make thousands is deceitful, there is no such thing. You get what you put into a company. If you treat your new business, like a business and not a hobby, this could be your last job and the beauty of all of this is choosing a home based business which means you can stay at home instead of commuting and answering to someone elses schedule/personality clashes as well. At home you can set your own schedule and work around “Life” as it presents itself to all of us with unplanned interruptions. It also presents a true opportunityt to spend more time with your family. If you have self-drive and initiative, you can be successful at a home based business such as Cruise to Cash if you are persistent and have faith in yourself and the company. Choose a reputable company. Cruise to Cash is just such a company. Their Customer Service provided me with 110% aid and support especially when I was new to internet marketing. Their back office provided me with unlimited ideas and places to advertise as well as other options not usually afforded to a newbie on a small budget. The Sales Center itself is professional and operates for you as your own personal sales team that years ago was only available to large companies with matching large advertising budgets. All of that has changed with internet marketing. As a closing review, I have found this home based business, Cruise to Cash and its Sales Center, to be profitable and a wise choice for a home-based venture.

Why I Chose GBG|Guided by God|Christian homebased business|10in1 Chewable Vitamin

Why I Chose GBG|Guided by God|Christian homebased business|10in1 Chewable Vitamin

I am very thankful my Christian home based business has passed the test of time. Many years ago, I was first introduced to network marketing as a viable vehicle for success. I would say I was about 25 years old when I had my first introduction, and now more than 30 years later — I am still a believer.

What is network marketing? Network marketing is a way of bringing a product to the consumer which eliminates the need to advertise for the company–because they have a team of distributors which advertises for them in the best way possible–word of mouth. Companies can calculate the cost of distribution in a clear and concise manner and pass the savings on to the distributors in terms of residual income.

What is residual income? First, let me tell you what linear income is. Linear income is the process of exchanging time for work, in other words selling your time for money. This is done every day by many people across the United States. Trading time for money is what some people once considered a safe route to go. When considering the failure rate of starting a small company and the risk factor involved, for many people (in their mind) this is the only way to go.

Yes, linear income is a safe route towards a safe retirement, or is it? For many people, in earlier times, choosing a stable company was much like a marriage decision–a life decision, and a good one if chosen wisely. Nowadays, neither employees nor corporations make commitments. It is all about the bottom line–making profit.

Residual income is selling a product one time to the end consumer and being able to benefit from that one sale again and again. This is a standard in the field of insurance or maybe newspaper/magazine subscriptions, cable tv/satellite, –too many to list. Now, with network marketing instead of the residuals being from just one subscriber, they can come from a whole team of people. The reason for this is that once a person joins your team and purchases a product and tells another person who purchases a product, those people are on your team, and those products sold are team sales. Although the monetary benefit might not be that much from just one sale, when you take into consideration the sales of a team, you may have thousands of dollars in income which started out just by telling one person who purchased a product and then told others who did the same. (I hope this explained the process a little and that it is not too difficult to understand).

Many people once looked on network marketing as a pyramid scam since they believed that only the people at the top made all the money. But times have changed, and with the advent of a down-turned economy, people are willing to take a look with a more open mind, when it comes to earning income. Many people are desperate for alternate sources of income.

The problem with network marketing in general is that network marketing has often received a bad name due to the fact of unscrupulous companies already having an exit plan before ever beginning. Also, another detriment to the industry is that many “heavy hitters,” those who have built large teams, jump from one company to another taking their team with them. This is often not done for any other reason than greed.

Now, back to my main reason in writing this article. I want to tell you honestly why I chose GBG. I chose GBG because I was previously a consumer of the product, 10 in 1 liquid vitamins. It was only a natural progression because I loved the product and wanted to tell others I thought the product would help. As a consumer only, I had a job which was both demanding and stressful and also required much energy (mostly emotional), to keep me going towards my projected goal. My income was determined by my outcome, which at times was difficult to achieve though no fault of my own. My main goal was to keep believing and not give up. Some days were good and others were not. But, in the back of my mind I felt in the end I would profit. The law of numbers came into play. Just go for the numbers, and the benefit will come. Therefore, I did that for three years, only to be laid off from a job which helped me achieve the income level I needed at that time.

Now, I see and it has become evident that those beliefs have groomed me to be a perfect candidate to what I am now experiencing with GBG, especially since we will be going international in just a few months. By adding to our line a 10 in 1 chewable multivitamin, we are poised for massive growth, and I am in at the onset. Success happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Everything happens for a purpose.

I have always detested working for someone else, to some extent. It seems that I was paid just enough to keep me from quitting or looking for another replacement job. What I really desired was to have a flexible position where I could earn good money and still be able to pursue personal goals like writing and spending time with family and friends. I have found this through network marketing. Yes, the product was very important to me in making a decision to join GBG, but I would never have promoted the product in a big way had there not been a lucrative payplan behind it. GBG offers a very lucrative payplan which offers good income both to the part-time networker, and also to the full-time networker. There is even a part of the payplan which is copywrighted by our owner, Stuart Finger.

I do not encourage people to leave their jobs. Right now, a JOB is a precious commodity which is not easy to find. If you do decide to go full-time, I would ask you to wait until you are making more with your networking position than you do at your regular position. You should also have some type of nest egg set aside. Even though I did have a nest egg when I was laid off, it was quickly extinguished, due to my high standard of living at that time. I believe all people should sit down and devise a “Plan B” to fall back on if anything ever does happen to your regular job. I also believe people should be in a field of work which they love. If not, it is time for an analysis on both parts (network marketing and your chosen career field). You say, it’s too late; I have no choice. I’m here to tell you, as a living testimony, you always have a choice. Think it through.

I chose GBG for the following reasons: (1) The product; (2) Company integrity (3) Compensation Plan which is beneficial to both the part-time and the full-time networker; (4) Company and Team leadership — the owner is a distributor just like we are and earns his income through the compensation plan; he had been with other companies where he was successful but others were not. He, therefore, designed the company and compensation plan to help prevent what he had himself experienced; and (5) GBG is a Chrsitian homebased business opportunity. Yes, I’ve been through alot of network marketing companies to finally find my home. Most other networkers who are successful will probably tell you that this isn’t their first time around the park in regards to network marketing. We view finding the right company as part of our journey. In other words, you often have to kiss alot of toads before you meet your handosme prince. GBG is my handsome prince, and I truly love GBG.

I encourage you to look into network marketing as a vehicle for your financial prosperity. You will find yourself amidst the sold on network marketing crowd with such believers as Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” fame.
