On December 1st, I’d Like
to Send You (by Overnight Express Mail)
a Free Ticket to our Next Live Event
AND a $500* Check to Cover Your Airfare

* Some checks will be as high as $1,000.


Lori Allen
Director, AWAI's Travel Division

Dear Reader,

You may think this sounds a little loony. And maybe it is.

But I’d really like everyone who wants a free seat at one of our upcoming workshops to have one. ;

So last week I went down to the Post Office and picked up a stack of Overnight Express envelopes. I put in each one a complimentary ticket good for any of our workshops. And on Monday morning, December 1st, I’m going to start addressing these envelopes to readers like you.

But before I seal each one, ;I’m going to slide inside a check for $500 that you can use to cover the cost of your airfare to get to the workshop. I’d be happy to reserve a check in your name.

Now there is one catch: To claim your $500 check and free workshop ticket you have to have purchased something from us in the past. ; But even if that something cost less than $20, you’re still eligible to receive the free workshop ticket and a check for $500 – no questions asked.

So say you’re like reader Sue Walden and you’ve just had the first installment of The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program delivered to you. Sue’s spent just $49 with us. But even so, she could receive a check for $500.

Or say you’re like Johnny King or Duncan Lee and you own the full Turn Your Pictures into Cash Program. That cost them $429. But they both could receive a check for $500.

It doesn’t matter what you’ve bought from us in the past. If you want one, we’ll send you a refund of $500 – or even more.

You know, for just shy of a decade now, we’ve been on a mission to provide you the best guidance there is about how you can quickly, easily, and enjoyably start getting paid to travel. And we know what we’re doing really works. Because we hear every day from readers sharing with us their success stories and their thanks.

But what I’d like is to see even more readers turn their passion for travel … for writing … for photography … into paychecks.

I’d like to see you do it.

And that’s why, even if you’ve already cashed in on great travel writing and photography perks, we’d like to help you accelerate – and multiply – that success. Even if your investment with us has already paid for itself many times over – we still plan to send you a free ticket to an upcoming workshop and a refund of at least $500 if you’re interested.

Take Roy Stevenson, for example. He wrote us recently to say that he’s successfully turned his travels into $23,207 since he’s been a reader. That’s fabulous. And if Roy wants a refund check for $500 or more, he can have it.

Sandra Kennedy is another one. She took the secrets we shared and turned them into a 4-day all-expenses-paid trip to Chile this year … plus she spent 9 days exploring Guatemala (hotels, food, and transport all paid for) … and she trekked through Ecuador for 21 days, too, no charge.

She wrote to thank us for our guidance and said, “Here I am at 62, full of excitement, stimulation, traveling, meeting new people and feeling alive!”

Sandra, I’m thrilled we could help make it happen for you. But even if you don’t think you deserve it, you’re entitled to a free ticket to one of our workshops and a refund check for $500 or more.

I’ll Actually Be Writing Some Checks for as Much as $1,000 …
You May Well Qualify for One of Those

In fact, if you’ve spent more than $500 with us, we’ll send you a refund of every penny, up to $1,000.

So if you’re like David Dykeman and you’ve ordered our Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program and our Turn Your Pictures into Cash program, then you’ve spent $708 with us. We’ll send you a refund check for $708 if you’d like it.

Or if you’re like Viki Varano and you’ve been to one of our live workshops before, then you’ve already spent at least $1,000 with us. And that means your name is on the list I have here on my desk of people who deserve $1,000 refund checks. And I’ll make one out to you if you’d like it.

Essentially what I’m doing is just issuing standard refund checks. And I’m going to start the check-request process with my accountant first thing Monday morning. And start getting those Overnight Express Mail envelopes addressed.

If you let me know you’re interested, I’ll have a check made out in your name. The smallest check, as I’ve said, will be for $500. (Even if you’ve spend less than $20 with us.) But if you’ve spent more than $500, we’ll write you a refund check for every penny, up to $1,000.

Just let me know if you’re interested – you’ll find all the details below – and you’ll receive your check by Overnight Express Mail, within 30 business days.

Plus I’ll Toss Something Extra into the Mailer
When You Get Back to Me this Week …

Now, just so you know, you actually have a month to take me up on this deal for the free workshop ticket and the refund check. That I’ll leave open through the end of December.

But when you take me up on it this week – before midnight December 1st – you’ll receive not only a free workshop ticket and a refund of as much as $1,000, but a special added bonus, too.

When you take me up on this offer now, I’ll also send you a special invitation to have lunch with me or to sit down and get personal guidance, live, from one of our travel writing or photography experts, like Jen Stevens or Steenie Harvey … Rich Wagner or Shelly Perry.

I’ll run through the details below. But bottom line: I’m giving out these special VIP Access Passes this weekend only. After midnight December 1st, that’s it. No more.

This is the very first time I’ve ever made this offer. And I may never do it again.

That’s why I want to be sure that I’m laying it all out plainly here so that you can decide if it makes sense for you …

The Smallest Check We’ll Send Will Be for $500. But Many Will Be for More …

No matter what you’ve spent with us in the past, we’ll send you a free workshop ticket plus a check for a minimum of $500. But if, like these folks, you’ve spent more than that with us … we’ll reimburse you for every penny, up to $1,000. That means your name could be on this list …

This list has hundreds of names on it, all told … and one of them may be yours …

But before I get too far ahead of myself, let me just back up and explain how this whole refund idea got started, anyway …

Why Am I Planning to Send You a Check by Overnight Express Mail?

To be honest, I was curious about our most successful readers. I’m talking about the folks who are really out there making money … gallivanting around the planet on somebody else’s dime … seeing their names in print … turning their snapshots into cash … and getting paid to travel …

Take Diane Simpson, for instance. She took the secrets she got at our Breaking into In-Flight Magazines Conference and immediately sold an airline magazine an article within weeks of getting home.

Then she attended our Ultimate Money-Making Photography Workshop earlier this year. Rich Wagner, one of our photo gurus, encouraged her to profit from what’s around her. So she started taking – and selling – lots of shots in her local market. They’re photos of old one-room schoolhouses, log cabins, churches, and back road landscapes. And she’s cashing in.

Then, just recently, she went camera in hand to her granddaughter’s horse-jumping competition. The professional photographer “working” the event wandered over to say hi … saw her pictures … and offered her a job on the spot. She told us, “What a hoot. ; It was nice to know my work had progressed to the point it might be of interest to someone who does this all day, every day.”

Lynnia Allison is another success. She recently had the photos she took at a “Save the Reef” event published in a magazine. And just last weekend, she got a free pass to the Miami International Book Fair. It meant she had front-row seats in every lecture … and they were high-powered: Salmon Rushdie, Martha Stewart, and Ishmael Beah …

Bobbie Hamilton is another reader who’s enjoying the fun and perks of the get-paid-to-travel life. She’s been paid for her stories and photos in magazines like Florida Golf and Lighthouse.

It turns out, there’s a whole group of our readers who’ve figured out how to get a hold of our best get-paid-to-travel secrets for next-to-nothing. Sometimes absolutely free. And they’re using them to make their dreams of a life rich with travel and adventure come true.

Some are retirees who want to feed their travel passion without breaking the bank. Others are younger and looking for a way to turn an interest in travel into a lucrative pastime … maybe even do it full-time. Still others are looking for ways to gain the freedom and flexibility to live anywhere in the world … travel anytime they like … and get paid to do it …

Now I have to tell you: I’ve met each of the people I’ve mentioned here in person. And on the surface they don’t appear to have much in common beyond their love of travel. Some are photography enthusiasts. Others enjoy telling stories about their adventures. They’re young, old … short, tall … some wear designer shoes and carry expensive handbags, others wear mostly flip flops and jeans …

Yet despite their differences, by receiving all the get-paid-to-travel secrets, short-cuts, and guidance we offer – for half the price everybody else pays (and sometimes for free) – they’re benefiting more than any other single group of our readers …

Thank you … Thank you …

“Thank you. Thank you. Each time I attend a conference, read an AWAI e-mail, or study a program my confidence level grows. ; I have decided that someone out there is accomplishing this writing, photography, import/export quest, and it might as well be me!”

– Cecilia Kirkpatrick

So who are these people? How are they getting everything we offer either free or half-price? And what does this have to do with your free workshop ticket and refund check? I’ll cut to the chase …

Here’s the Big Secret those Savvy Readers Have Already Figured Out …

We’ve created a “club” of sorts. It’s a way for you to join our most successful readers – and profit from all of our fun, easy, money-making, life-improving secrets for getting paid to travel – for less than anybody else pays … and even for free.

When you get in now – before midnight December 1st – we’ll send you a free ticket good for any of our upcoming workshops plus a refund check (of at least $500 and maybe as much as $1,000) covering what you’ve spent with us in the past. (You can use the funds to cover your airfare to the workshop if you like.)

You simply say you’re interested. And we’ll send you a check.

Again, I may never make this offer again. But right now – through this weekend only – you can be paid to join this elite group of our most successful readers …

We call it our Loyalty Club.

And the bottom line is this: If you decide to join now, we’ll send you a free ticket for any of our upcoming workshops and a refund check for at least $500 – whether you’ve spent that much with us or not.

And if you’ve spent more than $500, we’ll reimburse you for every penny, up to a full $1,000.

I Heartily Recommend Becoming a Member

“I loved your programs in New York, Denver, Bahamas. Our trip to Ecuador was fantastico. I brought two friends with me and each day we were dazed and amazed at the experiences and photo opportunities offered.

“We arrived in Cotachacchi with bands playing, and a Rodeo Parade which was forerunner to the incredible Rodeo we visited that afternoon. ; We saw a Woman Matador almost get gored, but watched this lass as she took the bull by the horns and saved herself.

“I wish I could go on all of the trips as the groups are congenial and we all have an interest in photography in common. I heartily recommend becoming a Loyalty Club Member, as I did.”

– Lynnia Allison

If you're ready to pursue a dream life where you could get paid to sail through the Virgin Islands … or enjoy wonderful wines in a B&B in rural France … or explore Antsirabe, Madagascar by rickshaw …

If you’re ready to turn 2009 into the year when you’re not just taking snapshots but snapping photos that sell themselves … if you’re ready to make this the year you start seeing your name in print … if you’re ready to have a lot of fun as you watch your dreams of a life filled with travel become your reality … then I invite you to give our Loyalty Club a try today.

I’ve seen with my own eyes what a difference it can make.

And that’s why I’m making this unusual offer today. Because I think this deal could make you more money traveling than you’ve ever made before … and give you a jump-start that really counts. ; So sooner (and more enjoyably) than you ever imagined possible you’ll find yourself getting paid for your stories, your photos, and your travels …

Personal Guidance … and Fun, Exotic,
Enlightening (but No-Hassle) Travel …

As a Loyalty Club member, you become one of an exclusive group of men and women who benefits most directly from the products, services, and support we offer …

That’s because we start by handing you a FREE ticket to any one of our "Ultimate Series" workshops. Plus then we give you half-price off on all our "Ultimate Workshops" forever after.

That includes our annual Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop, our annual Ultimate Money-Making Photo Workshop, and even our annual How to Make a Six-Figure Income as a Traveler Workshop. You can come to any one for free. Then join us for any others you like – any time – for half price. Forever.

And you’ll get deep discounts on our intimate photography and travel writing expeditions as well. On those, we take just a handful of readers like you – usually between six and ten people – and you head out for a week in the company of one of our experts. That way it’s guaranteed: You’re not only seeing the world in a way you never could on your own … but you’re getting an amazing level of personalized writing or photography guidance at the same time.

Next year we’re traveling to Paris … Ecuador … Italy and beyond. As a Loyalty Club Member, you could join us on any of these expeditions … for a small fraction of what others are paying.

Plus as a member you also get full access to every resource we've ever provided – for half price. For life. That means all our publications, teleconferences, home-study programs, special reports, and more. For you, it’s all half price.

When you break it down (and I’ll do that for you here in a moment), you’ll see it for yourself: Being a Loyalty Club member can save you tens of thousands of dollars.

“Since taking advantage of the special status the Loyalty Club provides I have enjoyed more great experiences than I ever thought possible … in Ecuador, Paris, China, Santa Fe, and San Francisco.

“As a retiree with a fixed income, the Loyalty Club means the world to me in many ways. The advantages sell themselves. No ‘we have you now so we can ignore you’ ever occurred. ;Everything promised was delivered – and then value added with extras like meeting instructors and fellow members over dinner or cocktails during workshops. The Loyalty Club is the best club I've ever joined!” writes Viki Hildreth.

Another member, Sarita Simmons, told us, “As a Loyalty Club member, it's the discounted rate on workshops and products that makes it possible for me to attend multiple workshops and go on all these great educational trips.

“At this point in my life I don't want to have go back to college and be tied down to a classroom setting each semester to learn how to be the best travel photographer and writer I can be. ;

“It's far more exciting and rewarding to pack my bags and learn ‘on site’ in such stimulating locations as Paris or Ecuador or China. It's been proven that most people learn better through ‘applied learning’ and I think AWAI is on the right track … teaching in-the-moment and on-location.” ; ;

Note: This Special Deal Expires at Midnight, December 1st

When you accept this invitation to join the Loyalty Club today, we’ll send you your free workshop ticket plus a check worth at least $500 and quite possibly more. We’ll refund you every cent you’ve paid us, up to $1,000.

Plus – through this weekend only, remember – I’ll also send you a VIP Access Pass when you become a Loyalty Club Member. ;Hand it to one of our travel writing or photography experts – like Jen Stevens, Steenie Harvey, Rich Wagner, Shelly Perry, or any others – and they’ll sit right down with you to chat, answer your questions … whatever you like. Or hand it to me and we can have lunch and you can pick my brain for a while about trends – what’s working for other readers … who’s making the most money and landing the best travel assignments … and what they are doing that you can do too.

Think of it like a back stage pass – instant, personal access to our experts.

The truth is, these are busy folks. And they charge handsomely for their time. But when you hand one of them your VIP Access Pass, they’ll put aside what they’re doing and sit down with you, free.

But please remember, this special offer is only available until midnight December 1st. That’s when it expires. We’ve never offered this deal before. And there’s a good chance we’ll never repeat it.

So if you’re interested, let me show you exactly how the Loyalty Club works. ;That way you can decide if it’s right for you …

Let Our Experts Hand You All the Secrets
They Use to Fund Their Travels … FREE

Just about every month, we provide an opportunity for you to meet with and hear from our successful, savvy, traveling experts in person … the gurus whose expertise has already helped transform so many readers' lives.

At our live workshops, you meet experts like Jen Stevens, who wrote our wildly popular travel writing program; Rich Wagner, who heads up our team of professional photographers; Gary and Merri Scott, million-dollar-a-year income earners who've created their fortune traveling the world; and many others …

They're all funding a lifestyle of travel by using secrets they're eager to share with you.

If you've already been to one of our workshops, then you know: Live, on-the-ground experience really makes a difference when it comes to creating a lifestyle that lets you live anywhere in the world, travel as much as you like (when you like), and make money while you're at it.

And while people can pay as much as $1,697 to attend one of our live Ultimate Workshop events, Loyalty Club Members come for FREE or HALF-PRICE …

That's right. Loyalty Club Members are entitled to …

And, of course, you travel in good company with a small group of fellow readers – usually just 6 to 12 – and with one of our professional photographers or travel writers at your elbow. These are wonderful, enlightening trips.

And as a Loyalty Club member, you’ll get first dibs at a spot. They fill up fast, so we always announce them to our Loyalty Club Members first. (Sometimes they’re sold out before our “regular” readers even hear about them.)

Plus as a Loyalty Club Member you’re always invited to join us on these expeditions for a small fraction of what others pay.

For example, on a recent Photo Expedition to Shanghai, our Loyalty Club Members shaved $1,060 off the cost of our all-inclusive, 11-day program. Instead of paying $4,059 … it only cost them $2, 999. And that savings – more than 25% – is typical. Sometimes it’s more.

The Best Club I’ve Ever Joined

“The Loyalty Club is the best club I've ever joined! I've made friends during several workshops. I love connecting with folk having like interests and coming from different places all over the globe. It's so stimulating.

“All the ‘staff’ at the workshops are totally unpretentious but utterly professional and generous with their knowledge. I like that they become part of the group. Particularly with the smaller workshops, they are able to go with the flow – like teaching in the back of the bus while charging down the freeway in chaotic traffic, making sure we learn all that is promised – and then some!”

– Viki Hildreth

The Incomparable Value of In-Person Guidance …
Join Us in 2009 and Save Thousands

We've been putting on these Workshops and Expeditions of ours – with rave reviews – for nearly a decade now. We always host them in great destinations around the world – like Chicago, New York, San Diego, Austin, Mexico, Greece, Paris and beyond …

Coming up in the next few months we have our two biggest events of the year – the Ultimate Money-Making Photography Workshop in New Orleans in March, and then the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in Denver in July.

Take me up on this special offer before midnight, Monday, December 1st and you can use your free ticket to attend either event for free.

Plus we often add additional, one-day workshops, too. Like our sell-out Breaking Into In-Flight Magazines Conference or our one-day Food Writing Workshop.

Our live programs are different each time we have them. And that means the get-paid-to-travel secrets you learn, the stories you gather, and the photos you take are always different, too. That’s why people come back again and again.

At our photography workshop in New Orleans, for instance, you’re guaranteed three power-packed days with more access to the experts, more hands-on practice, and more money-making secrets than ever before. Join us. And within a week you could be taking – and getting paid for – amazing photos. ; Even if all you’ve ever done is snap point-and-shoot shots on vacation …

That's because this workshop isn't filled with theoretical fluff. We tell you how, in the real world, this industry works. And then we show you – step-by-step – exactly how to transform ho-hum shots into instant money-makers. We’ll give you lots of fun markets to target. And we even set up “shoots” with models right there for you so you can build your portfolio of money-making shots right on the spot.

Those Workshops Really Helped!

“I've been an attendee in several of your workshops (i.e., Buenos Aires, Rhodes, Portland) and my article about a biking trip in Croatia is published in the October edition of Tourist Travel. ; Those workshops really helped. ; Let me know about the next one.”

– Judy Post

That New Orleans workshop is priced at $1,697. But when you take advantage of this offer to become a Loyalty Club Member right now … you can join us at our next ultimate workshop for FREE! Come for free and learn the skills you need to take amazing travel photos, stock photos, and more … secrets you can use to get paid to travel.

And say, in addition, you were to take advantage of one workshop a year for the next few years … it could be our travel writing workshop in Denver … or maybe a photo expedition in Paris.

Wherever you join us … every time you attend a workshop at half-price, you're saving a minimum of $848. Attend five half-price workshops in the next few years, and you'd save $4,240 or more.

Each of our events is guaranteed to take you that much closer to living your dream. You'll have fun learning new secrets and honing the techniques that deliver travel on somebody else's dime … and get paid to do it, too.

And that’s just the beginning of the benefits Loyalty Club Members enjoy …

Love the Perks – Free Dinners and Concert Tickets

“I'm not yet making a fortune -- but my earnings do nicely supplement my retirement income. And the perks – free dinners and concert tickets – aren't bad either.”

– Tom Colvin

Best-Value Membership Deal Available Now … Until Midnight, December 1st

The combined value of the titles in our current library comes to $2,228.77 … but with your 50% off price, you save $1,114.38.

Take advantage of 1 free live workshop and as many more as you'd like (forever) at half-price, and you're looking at a value of at least $5,939.50.

Plus the 5-year membership in the International Travel Writers & Photographers Alliance is worth $1,245.

And, too, we're adding $1,356 worth of programs to our resource library in 2009 alone. As a Loyalty Club Member, you're entitled to all of them at half-price – savings of at least $678.

That's $8,976 worth of benefits … money-making, good-living resources to which you have full access either free or at half-price, from today forward.

Plus when you take into account what a lifetime of funded travel would be worth to you … the value of Loyalty Club Membership becomes incalculable.

I mean consider that, as a member, you'll have at your disposal all the tools you could need to arrange complimentary travel whenever the fancy strikes.

So say you took just one press trip a year … travel that you might otherwise pay as much as $1,000 … $3,000 … maybe even $5,000 for. That’s money you’ve saved at luxury resorts, in fine restaurants, and in destinations around the world.

Over your lifetime, that can really add up. But let’s take just one year when you enjoy one on-the-house trip worth $5,000, just as some Loyalty Club Members have. Add that perk to the nearly $9,000 worth of benefits Loyalty Club offers you right up front. And that brings the value of membership to close to $14,000.

So you can see why Loyalty Club Membership – even at the regular price of $3,900 – really is an extraordinary value.

But you won’t pay that much to join today …

Receive a Refund Check for a Minimum of $500

Because when you become a Loyalty Club Member now, I’ll send you a $500 refund check. It’s yours to keep. Doesn’t matter if you’ve spent only $19.97 with us in the past. That $500 refund check is yours.

And if you’ve spent more than $500 with us, I’ll give you a refund of every penny, up to $1,000.

You simply let us know you’d like to join. We’ll tally up what we owe you and write you a check. It works like this …

  1. You make a one-time payment today for $3,900 for Loyalty Club Membership.
  2. Test-drive it for 30 days. Make sure you’re comfortable with it.
  3. As soon as your 30-day trial has ended, we’ll send you your refund check by Overnight Express Mail.
  4. The minimum you’ll receive back is $500 … but it may be as much as $1,000. ;
    (This means the most you’ll pay for Loyalty Club Membership is $3,400. And you may pay as little as $2,900.)
  5. This is an unusual offer. But even so, we’ll honor our regular 30-day guarantee. Though please understand that after the 30-day trial membership is up and we’ve mailed you your check, the window for refunds closes.

Remember, this special offer is yours for the taking right now – through midnight December 1st. But, as I said earlier, that’s it. I can’t say when – if ever – we’ll do this again.

I’m making you this special refund offer today because I really do believe that by joining the Loyalty Club now, you’ll be putting yourself in the company of our most successful readers. The ones really using the get-paid-to-travel secrets we share to make their dreams of a life rich with interest and adventure come true. The folks benefiting the most.

"I've been comped four nights at a deluxe resort on Oahu after advising them of my plans. I wrote a letter explaining that I am a 'freelance travel writer' intending on writing an article on 'Hawaii's Most Romantic Room Views.' Although I won't be on 'assignment,' I've gotten some pretty good feedback from a couple of newspapers … so wish me luck!! “ – Alice C.

“Some time ago you gave us a tip about an upcoming travel media familiarization trip to St. Augustine, Florida. I applied to go on the trip and completed the required questionnaire. When they made their selection I was one of those selected. It's an all-expenses-paid three-day trip. Now, my next goal is to maximize the number of articles I write on the sights and experiences of St. Augustine. Thanks again for the tip.” – Reynold Dacon

But is Loyalty Club Membership right for you?

Before you decide, remember that between now and midnight December 1st, I’ll also be throwing in an added benefit for new members …

My Special Invitation to You: Join me for Lunch …
or Sit Down in Person with Any of Our Experts

You know, in pretty much anything in life – there’s no substitute for a little personalized guidance. It’s always easier – and better – if somebody “in the know” takes a few minutes to show you the shortcuts that can save you time, spare you frustration, make sure you’re headed in the right direction …

You know what I mean. It’s true whether you’re learning how to change a tire or cook a soufflé.

Well just imagine if you could have Martha Stewart help you out in your house. Or if you could walk a few holes with Tiger Woods. That would be how-to guidance at a whole different level.

And that’s exactly the kind of super-charged, expert attention a Loyalty Club Membership gets you when you join before midnight, December 1st. Because we’ll send you -- on top of all the other benefits of membership -- a special VIP Access Pass.

Bring it with you to any of our live events and you can use it to gain “backstage” access to our experts. Flash it and you can join me for lunch. Or if you want to sit down with one of our travel writing or photography experts apart from the rest of the group, just hand it to them. They’ll be happy to chat, answer your questions, and help you.

Maybe you’d like extra photos reviewed at a workshop. Or maybe you need some guidance with a story idea or something you’ve written. Something specific to you and you alone. ; Just flash your VIP Access Pass, and they’ll give you their undivided attention.

Now keep in mind, these experts are extremely busy, sought-after, and admired pros. They really know their stuff. And that’s why they’re able to charge a premium for their expertise. But when you flash your VIP Access Pass, you’ll benefit from their decades of experience … free.

Plus you’ll find, as your fellow Loyalty Club Members have already discovered, that the group of pros we work with is unendingly friendly and approachable. That’s part of our calculation when we invite them into our fold. No retreating to the “green room” for our crowd. They’ve got to be the kind of people you feel comfortable sitting next to and chatting up. And I guarantee: They are.

So if you’re really ready to get paid to travel … to turn your interests into income …

If you’re ready to take what you notice in the world and make those observations into nuggets people will pay you for …

If you’re ready to turn your everyday snapshots into photos worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars …

Then I hope you’ll take me up on this offer today. Because until midnight December 1st, you can get the best deal on membership we’ve ever offered.

It Changed My Life

“You started me in this direction, you and that marvelous class in Paris. It's changed my life! And I love it! Thanks for that and again thanks for the advice … I appreciate it immensely.”

– Judith Allred

This Really is Too Good a Deal to Pass Up

This really is a good deal – and, in the end, it may be too good a deal for us to continue offering.

After all, the benefits of Loyalty Club Membership have no time limit. You can take your free workshop any time. You can access anything in our library or come to any Ultimate Workshop for half-price for life. Forever.

(But the thing is, we can't fill all our live workshops with free and half-price attendees. We'll have to balance them with folks paying full price. And that means we'll likely have to limit the number of Loyalty Club Members we accept.)

Point is: I encourage you to join now, while enrollment is open. And while this special refund offer is available.

The benefits of Loyalty Club Membership are timeless – but the number of places is limited.

Become a Loyalty Club member today and you'll gain not only the full benefits of membership, including a free workshop … half-price workshops forever after that … deep discounts on our travel writing and photography expeditions … half price on anything in our library (any time) … a full 5-year membership in the International Travel Writers & Photographers Alliance …

Plus, if you join before midnight December 1st, a special VIP Access Pass you can use at any of our live events.

And don’t forget, I’ll also send you a refund of at least $500 – maybe as much as $1,000.

I encourage you to act now and secure for yourself (at an incredible discount) a future full of travel, adventure, and fun …

Put yourself in the company of our most successful readers and reserve your place in our Loyalty Club now. Make 2009 the year you start living a life filled with travel, adventure, and fun …
