- timeshare requires annual maintenance fee; with GRN, no maintenance fee is required
- timeshare usually allows only one vacation per year; with GRN, unlimited number of vacations
- timeshare intial purchase cost is generally more than GRN membership cost
- price per week is generally less than annual maintenance fees in timeshare
- a member has to be flexible when it comes to travel schedules due to fluctuations in resort vacancies; you just cannot leave for a specific resort at a specific time and date that you want; while customer service will do all they can to accomodate your preferred schedule and resort, there is no guarantee of a reservation.
- a member cannot cancel his/her reservation; one of the ways GRN can provide accommodations well below the standard rates is because they receive specific non-cancellable dates when a request is made.
- the size of the inventory decreases with the increase in number of members; before, memberships were sold directly to customers through a personal sales presentation; but since the membership started to be sold online via network marketing, membership has increased and therefore, the available inventory decreased.
This is what makes the affiliate program so enticing to many. This is how it works:
- Ist Sale: You don't earn anything yet on your first sale as this is passed up to your sponsor or upline to activate your first level
- 2nd Sale and thereafter: You receive US$1000 on each sale (if you sold a platinum membership) or US$500 (if you sold a gold membership). Your upline receives the same amount on each one of your sales as well
- Sales of Your Affiliates: Everytime your affiliate makes a sale, you also earn US$1000 or US$500 depending on what type of membership your affiliate sold.
So for example, you have 5 affiliates which sell 2 platinum membership per month, you earn US$10,000 monthly.

"Global Resorts Network is also the first & only company I have ever seen were there truly is a product in place that is in demand & of real value unlike the majority of the 2 & 3 step money games with products that have no value.

Our research shows that overall, this is an excellent product. The traveller can save a lot of money and still enjoy the luxury of a 4 or 5 star resort. However, if a member wants a specific resort or location, he/she has to be flexible as to when he/she can travel.
The membership fee can be recovered easily from the savings earned from heavily discounted rates. So even if you just become a member and avail of the travel benefits, you will eventually recover the cost you paid for your membership fee.
If you like to sell memberships as an affiliate, please remember that while there are third party marketing systems to help you, you still need to acquire long-term skills on affiliate marketing. Most of these systems focus on practical implementation and step by step guide. But to acquire long-term skills is not to have you follow instructions like a robot. The world of internet marketing is always in a state of flux, trends emerge and disappear and if you haven't acquired long-term skills, your ability to make money online is only temporary or close to zero. You need to understand, acquire skills and practically implement techniques and at the same time see the overall picture and the significance of all the actions you are taking.
The GRN affiliate program is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You have to be prepared to spend for monthly fees and other marketing-related expenses such as advertising which can be costly. But once you have acquired the long-term skills to market the product, the GRN affiliate program can be your ticket to financial freedom.
