Passport to Wealth Business Scam Review - Is it Real Or a Scam?
If you've been searching the internet for home based business opportunities or a way to make money online, you're more than likely to have found Passport to Wealth, one of the many network marketing opportunities online. I found Passport in a search online, filled in my contact information, and waited to hear back. I was contacted by a true gentleman, Mike. Mike was very informative about Passport to Wealth as well as internet marketing in general, as I said, a real gentleman.
What are you selling?
Mike explained that as a "member" you receive the opportunity to download countless digital products, most having to do with internet marketing, ebooks, tutorials, etc. You also have a license to resell the products which I believe is a tremendous idea. This all sounded very interesting, so I took the next step and went to a "business overview" call to find out more.
The call was somewhat standard from my experience, a "leader" starts the call by reading pretty much from a script, then there are testimonials, then a short period of Q & A. It was said that the products had actually been valued at $75,000. WOW! and I can be a member, and have a license to resell this valuable package or any of the products individually, and I only pay $997.00 to join. This sounded fair, so now the really important question . . .
How do I get Paid?
This is where I began to hesitate. Passport to Wealth uses the "Australian 2-up" business model. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this model, it simply means that once you join, you pass your first two "training sales" up to your sponsor. The theory is that once you've done this, you will be receiving compensation for the first two "training sales" of everyone that you sponsor.
Having come from another "Australian 2-up" and been , what I felt was, abandoned by my sponsor, I chose not to join Passport to Wealth. I guess my biggest question was why should I give up $1,994.00 in compensation which I earn? Even though I might learn some marketing techniques from my mentor, I'm the one putting in all of the effort.
And in Conclusion
Even though I feel that Passport to Wealth is a real opportunity with real products to go along with the business opportunity, I chose not to join. Having been involved with another program which was structured as an "Australian 2-up" I've learned my lesson. First, as you can probably imagine, the major effort comes in the beginning of an online business opportunity, you must first build momentum. Then you make your first couple of sales and "pass-up" almost $2,000.00 to your sponsor. And finally, now your sponsor has no vested interest in helping you, in fact, you are now in direct competition.

Emerald Passport - Review
When considering an internet business opportunity - why Emerald Passport? This company direct markets financial, personal self help, and wealth building products. It allows you to be your own boss, work from anywhere in the world, has a low start up cost, low overhead and a turnkey system. They have ongoing support, 75% profit with $1000 & $4500 per sale, no inventory or shipping and can be a family business with tax and inheritance benefits. They have retailers in over 25 countries. There are 3 phases in their program.
Phase one will cost you $1295. For this, you receive access to the members area - this includes a replicated website and many different self-help books which you may download at any time.
Phase two costs $5995. This allows you to advance in the pay structure. This is a self help and development seminar held in Panama.
Phase three costs $14995. You advance further in the pay structure and attend another seminar in Panama.
The compensation plan is a 2up program. This means you pass up your first 2 sales to your sponsor. At this point your commissions are $1000-$4500 per sale. Your sponsor will receive your first $2000 in commissions.
While this opportunity can work for experienced marketers with money to burn, a new marketer should look elsewhere. If you're new to internet marketing, you'll want to work with a team of experienced marketers who can mentor you to success. You'll want proven marketing tactics, tips, and systems. Team members who have excellent advertising skills is a must. You must be coachable for this or any program to work.

Passport to Wealth Review - Is Passport to Wealth a Scam?
Darren Gaudry designed Passport To Wealth. The company produces exclusive software programs that help to boost online sales. These products include numerous software programs for protecting the hacking of Internet data, digital scripts for Internet marketing and many more.
Nevertheless, in recent times, Passport To Wealth is even offering Multi Level Marketing (MLM) opportunities to grab more customers and expose products on a larger scale. Therefore, Passport To Wealth is a new MLM firm providing many opportunities for MLM home based business.
The company provides adequate training programs for its members to get started with the sale of various software programs. These programs are attractive and modern due to which the consumers are attracted towards them. Passport To Wealth follows an Aussie (Australia) 2up compensation plan. It means that any new member joining Passport To Wealth compensation plan has to create two members below him/her and likewise the other two members have to create two more members below themselves. Next, the profit earned by the final two members will be handed over to the main head member.
This type of compensation plan is very effective, influential, and easy to understand and is uniquely designed for home based business and other MLM opportunities. MLM companies in the U.S. and Australia have extensively been using this plan. Therefore, this Australian 2up plan has gained tremendous popularity and it named as Down Under.
However, every established and aspiring company has some or the other drawback and Passport To Wealth is not an exception to this. This company provides adequate help and training to all its members at every stage irrespective of the experience of that particular person in that organization.
As per the cons are concerned, if a member helps to bring in a new person in the pyramid and if he/she is capable of making two sales per day, then the main member will be paid for that member's first two sales. Thereafter, the main member will not be able to enjoy profits of sales made by the new member and this might result in the breakage of pyramid. It may result in conflicts and competitions. Moreover, many members do not find the compensation plan of Passport To Wealth much beneficial.
Passport To Wealth is a genuine MLM based company that is proudly supplying extensive sophisticated software programs to every customer for helping to boost their online businesses.

Passport to Wealth Business Review
Passport to Wealth (PTW) is a fairly new company in the home business arena. PTW offers a home business opportunity by selling or marketing their products through the direct selling industry.
The Passport to Wealth product line is compiled of many software titles on internet marketing. The PTW opportunity consists of marketing these programs for $997. According to the passporttowealth.com website, there are several different titles of software that come with the business.
The Passport to Wealth business opportunity contains a 2-Up compensation plan with a payout of $997 for every sale made by the qualified affiliate. The issue with the Passport compensation plan is the requirement of two sales (hence 2-Up). To get started with PTW, a new person must pay $997 to become a Passport business associate and then give up almost $2000 ($997 x 2) from their first two qualifying sales to their qualified sponsor. This means they must give up almost $3000 before they can earn any wealth from the program. Another issue with the Passport to Wealth 2-Up program is that if you bring in someone who makes a sale or two per day, you only get their first 2 sales and then you no longer get paid on their efforts. They then breakaway from the sponsor and actually end up becoming the competition. This doesn't give the qualified PassporttoWealth sponsoring associate much motivation to help the new associate since they will ultimately become competition.
In conclusion, Passport to Wealth seems to have a decent product line, but the comp plan leaves more to be desired. Some people do well with 2-Up programs, but most struggle. If you are an experienced internet marketer and don't mind having to pass up your first 2 qualifying sales, then the PTW business opportunity might be the right fit for you.
