Past and present Traveling Vineyard consultants wanted

I have no affiliation with Traveling Vineyard  I’m sure I don’t qualify as I don’t reside in North America.

However many of my colleagues on various social networks are consultants for Traveling Vineyard.  I am sure there is some collective wisdom about the program that can be shared, outside of the hurly burly of  the programs downline.

As a start I’ve devised a 5 minute survey for current and past consultants of WSAH. Really i’m looking for an indication of what marketing mehods are being used and which are the  most successful.

It’s free to fill in. I promise not to abuse your email address or an any way compromise your business.

You can remain anonymous. I will publish the general results on this website and send a more detailed report to survey participants - no promises of amazing breakthrough secret methods to explode your downline, just some advice from those who are succeding.

I will also use the results as part of a guidebook to wine based affiliate programs that I am preparing.

So, if you’d like to participate just go over to

and get started.

I’ m sure that we will find some ideas to share which will benefit  your home based wine business.

There is a better way. You can have your own site to build and diversify your wine based business.  A free Local Business Masters course is available.

You can do it yourself, build it while you are enrolled in a ecommerce course or get an expert to set one up for you. You don’t need to know about complex coding languages, but you do need to do some thinking about how your potential clients use the internet and how they will find you.
