Community Income Benchmark & Resource Hub — share anonymized earnings + context

Goal: build a crowd-sourced benchmark and practical playbook for travel advisors (dashboard, downloadable report, income calculator, targeted how‑tos and live Q&A). Would you share anonymized earnings data and short business context so we can slice results by model, niche, region and experience?

If you’re willing, please post one short line (no names) with these fields:
- Annual income or income range (2026 year-to-date or last 12 months)
- Hours worked per week (avg)
- Primary revenue sources (percent split or top source: e.g., commissions 60%, fees 40%)
- Full-time / part-time
- Business model (host agency, independent, OTA/agency employee, tour operator, consortia)
- Niche (luxury, corporate, adventure, cruises, family, etc.)
- Region / main market (country or region)
- Years in business
- Top 1–2 strategies that moved the revenue needle for you this year (brief)

Example: “$80–100k, 30 hrs/wk, commissions 70% fees 30%, full-time, independent w/ host, luxury, USA, 6 yrs, started charging planning fees & launched an email funnel.”

Notes: entries will be anonymized and aggregated before any public release. If you’re open to follow-up or to help build the dashboard/report, add “DM ok” (optional). Please share first-hand results and tactics you used — concrete examples are most useful for others. Thanks for contributing; even a short line helps create a more realistic picture of advisor earnings and what actually moves the needle.
