Day 203: Knowledge-Based Services & other Revenue Streams

Courses, digital downloads, paid strategy sessions... knowledge-based services can be a meaningful additional income stream (and sometimes a lead magnet), if your host agency allows it. In Day 203 of the Travel Agency in a Year podcast, Rachel K covers what these offers actually look like and when they're worth building. You can't be offering these services if you don't know what you want from your travel business. Or, even if you aren't sure it's a good decision because you're not in that CEO mindset...yet. That's where the Success Circle comes in. Weekly work to help work ON your business, not in it. Weekly Live Q&As and Bi-weekly Hot Seat coaching with Rachel K, too, to help you get on your path.
