Many of the vacation rental properties come with amenities and conveniences that the homeowners themselves use. Owners take good care of their properties since they stay there too. Large TV’s, music systems, game tables, BBQ’s and more are often included in the Las Vegas vacation rental homes property. Want to dine out all the time? No problem. Like to cook and eat in?

What is timeshare?
Originating in Europe, Vacation Ownership (Timeshare Resorts) has become a popular form of family vacations. Timeshare, or Vacation Ownership, offers consumers the opportunity to own fully furnished vacation accommodations.

Sold in a variety of forms, such as weekly intervals and Points-based systems, for a percentage of the cost of full ownership. For a one-time purchase price and a yearly maintenance fee, timeshare owners own their vacation either in perpetuity or for a predetermined number of years.

Why Consider Timeshare?
Imagine the expenses of owning your own vacation property or vacation home. Besides the actual purchase cost, you have other expenses to consider. You will pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, all for something you might use once or twice a year.

Now imagine purchasing only the time you plan to spend at your vacation home and share the expenses with other owners via a yearly maintenance fee.

Vacation Around the World
Additionally, through vacation exchange networks, owners can exchange their time for other popular destinations around the world and enjoy a variety of different types of accommodations and amenities.

Traditionally, an exchange is done by depositing your week(s) in an ‘Exchange Bank’ that would allow you to reserve a comparable week in another resort destination. This means that if you owned an ‘Off Season’ week, you could only exchange for other resorts during what that location considers off-season. This can really cause a problem if that destination has no off-season.
(Note: there are exceptions to these exchange restrictions)

However, with the popularity of Points based programs, timeshare owners/members now have the opportunity to travel without seasonal or other typical exchange restrictions. Points also allow an owner/member to travel for varied lengths of stays.

Attend a Presentation
Most resorts offer some type of promotional offer in order to market their resort and affiliated travel program. In the past, these sales presentations could be very ‘high pressure’ and the promotional gifts offered were, at times, somewhat worthless. Today, due to consumer protection laws, these companies have stopped this practice.

Consumer protection laws are not the only reason resorts are changing their sales policies. The biggest reason is common sense. We live in a very consumer educated age and can research just about anything we wish to, before we decide to purchase a product or service.

The process of the presentation goes something like this….

1. Meet your resort representative.
2. Discuss your vacation and recreational interests.
3. Learn about the resort and affiliated network.
4. Tour the resort facilities.
5. Have any of your questions answered.
6. Lastly, you will be asked if you wish to become an owner or member.

OK, lets talk about number six. I can already here some saying, “I thought there was no obligation to purchase! …” There isn’t.

Resorts usually offer a couple of options. One that can be purchased anytime you like, and a promotional offer while you’re visiting the resort or during another predetermined time frame. If (and only if) you find you have some interest in the resort and their service, hear them out. You might be surprised at what they have to offer!

Again, there is No Obligation to Purchase! The choice is, of course, entirely up to you.

1. Opportunities “In 20 years from now people will look back and
wish that they could have started a business, invested money,
bought shares or property during the early years of the new
century, when there were so many new opportunities.” Noel

“The only purpose of a business is to bring in a customer; and
there are really only two ways to do it – through marketing or
innovation.” Noel Peebles, Author “Sell Your Business The Easy
Way” http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 3. Work “I haven’t
worked for years. It’s not that I’ve retired, it’s just that I
love what I’m doing. My definition of work – anything I’m doing
when I’d rather be doing something else.” Noel Peebles, Author
“Sell Your Business The Easy Way”
http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 4. Work “Most formal
schooling prepares us to work for others. If we are good at
following school rules and what the teacher says, then we will
probably do okay in the job world too.” Noel Peebles, Author
“Sell Your Business The Easy Way”
http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 5. Price Perception (a) “The
key to making the sale is to communicate VALUE! Do it so
strongly… that the price seems reasonable in relation to the
product or service you’re offering.” Noel Peebles, Author “Sell
Your Business The Easy Way” http://www.instantsellbusiness.com
6. Price Perception (b) “A customer perception of what is a
‘reasonable price’ is more important than what you want to
charge for your product or service. And the customer decides
what’s reasonable based on perceived value for money, not price.
It’s creating this perception of value that tells the customer -
the price is right.” Noel Peebles, Author “Sell Your Business
The Easy Way” http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 7. Price
Perception (c) “It’s what the customers thinks about your price
that matters. If the customer thinks the price is too high in
relation to the value delivered, then they won’t buy. If they
think the price is too low, then they may be suspicious of the
quality in relation to the price. The price must feel right.”
Noel Peebles, Author “Sell Your Business The Easy Way”
http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 8. Entrepreneur “Working for
someone else is nothing like being an entrepreneur and the boss
of your own business. To become an entrepreneur requires a
different plan or map. You’ll be taking a different road, to a
different destination.” Noel Peebles, Author “Sell Your Business
The Easy Way” http://www.instantsellbusiness.com 9.
Plans/Strategies/Goals “Listen carefully to what people have to
say and make a judgment based on your plans, your strategies and
your goals. If you occasionally have to say no to people… then
so be it. If you have to alienate some people, because they
don’t personally agree with your actions… then so be it.” Noel
Peebles, Author “Sell Your Business The Easy Way”

the future will look back and envy what was truly, ‘The Golden
Age Of Opportunity.’ How fortunate we are to be HERE! NOW!”

Many elementary school children know the miracle of Charlotte’s Web. Weaving the words “Some Pig” into the center of her web, Charlotte keeps Wilbur from the frying pan. E.B. White’s story provides some fascinating guidelines for web spinning.

Charlotte’s wisdom assures Wilbur about what matters. On the one hand, when Wilbur tries creating his own web, she instructs, “You can’t spin a web…and I advise you to put the idea out of your mind.” Wilbur lacks “spinnerets, and … know how”. She also informs Wilbur, “…you don’t need a web.” However with some “know how”, every webmaster may weave a “terrific” web. A spider called Charlotte offers wise suggestions.

Have a plan.

Wilbur had no plan to save himself from the butcher, and when first asked, Charlotte did not have much of a plan. She does suggest the importance of “working on it”, and in her case, “hanging head down…that’s when I do my thinking”. Don’t suggest you turn yourself upside down, but do suggest taking time to ponder YOUR plan. When Wilbur asks if he can help, she says, “I’ll work on it alone”. I am convinced that you must design your own plan when weaving your web. Stay away from templates and pre-made web site designs. Generations of web designers preceded Charlotte; she mimicked the structure, but not the content. Her choices evolved from her unique and distinctive plan.

Have a purpose.

Charlotte promises keep Wilbur from ending up as a holiday meal. She concentrates all her energy toward this one thing: saving Wilbur’s life. Every web site has to have a clear cut purpose. Whether a site provides a specific message like “Terrific Pig” or a site’s directory offers vast resources and information. Essentially you, the web master, must own the purpose with passionate determination. Spider webs provide entomological evidence that what you create lives from you and feeds you.

Have patience.

Wilbur worries (who can blame him). Web masters worry too. Charlotte gives Wilbur practical advice. “Get plenty of sleep, and stop worrying”. Nothing wears down commitment more than worry. I’ve done it for months wondering if the efforts made will produce the results wanted. Daily checks of stats and Google Adsense & ClickBank revenue reviews wear you down if the rewards accrue slowly. Charlotte knows better, she could wait “hour by hour…deep in thought”. Finally, an idea (or a fly) would show up.

Charlotte’s lessons pass on to generations of web weavers. Each of them understands one essential and inalterable lesson, “…we are going out into the world to make webs for ourselves”. I am not suggesting you reject or ignore skillful helpers; I am suggesting that the decision of what your web represents remains yours. Always weave your own web.

You may have delayed cgi script installation due the apparently complex process. Well, I avoided it also for several years, however if you want to increase your web site’s interactivity it’s a necessity to know how to do it. It’s not hard to learn and you don’t have to be a programmer.

What is CGI ?

Common Gateway Interface or CGI is a program that can interact with an html form on your web site, and processes the results on your server using a cgi script. The result generated is a dynamic web page. The cgi script is written in a language called PERL (“practical extraction and reporting language”).

Uses of CGI scripts

CGI scripts are most commonly used for creating user interaction with a html form on your web site. Other uses include: autoresponders, shopping carts, counters, mailing list managers, ad management, surveys, polls, discussion boards, content management, calendars and click tracking.

There are 100s of free cgi scripts that can be found on the Net. Just do a search on Google for “free cgi scripts” or visit the resources at the end of this article.

We will create an html email form to collect the name, email address and comments of subscribers using a secure cgi formmail script. An automatic confirmation will be sent and the results of the email form will be passed on to your email address.

Steps to installing your own cgi script

1. Check that your web host supports CGI – your web host will have a cgi-bin folder installed on the server. The cgi-bin is a special directory in the server where all the files which require security are kept. This is where you will upload your cgi script once it has been modified.

2. Download the cgi script – this is a secure cgi formmail script. Spammers can’t access and harvest your email address from this script.

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/formmail.zip

3. Read the documentation that comes with the script – this will give you a thorough understanding what changes you need to make to have it work correctly with your web site and server. It will also provide you with some examples.

Editing your script

4. Open and edit your cgi script using notepad (don’t use an html editor as this can create errors).

5. Remove the html tags from the script (at the top and bottom).

6. Change the path to perl to: #!/usr/bin/perl -wT (this is the first line of the script to be edited).

7. The section of the cgi script shown below, are the other minimum fields to fill out in the script (replace the fields in the script you downloaded with the changed fields in the script below).
