Passport to Wealth Review, Scam or Legit?
My search on the internet to find an online business opportunity took me to Passport to Wealth. Passport to Wealth is one of the many direct marketing opportunities which you’ll find if you Google “making money in a home business”. I found Passport to Wealth this way, went to a website, and filled out the contact information.
I was promptly contacted by a gentleman name Mike. Mike was very informative and forthcoming about Passport to Wealth as well as online marketing in general. As I said, Mike was a gentleman. Mike informed me that the initial investment to get started in PPTW is $997.00
What are you Selling?
Once you sign up with Passport, you recieve a number of digital online marketing aids. Along with the products you receive a license to sell any of these as many times as you wish and, of course, the opportunity to market the business opportunity and recruit new members. I was then directed to a “business overview call”.
The call was somewhat standard from my experience. A “leader” or moderator starts the call by reading a canned presentation. This is followed by some testimonials and then a Q and A session. It was explained during the call that the products had actually been “valued” at about $75,000.00 All of this sounded pretty good so I decided to start asking the very important questions.
What’s the comp plan look like?
Passport to Wealth is structured as an “Australian 2-up”. I’m not comfortable with this type of program. You pass-up you first two sales to your sponsor. These are called “training sales”. Then it is expected that everyone you recruit will pass up two sales to you.
I don’t believe that the “2-up” compensation plan is the most equitable for the new member. You’re much better off finding a plan where you at least share in the profits from the very beginning. After all, you put so much effort into your business in the beginning, why not reap at least part of the rewards?
And in Conclusion
Passport to Wealth is a real business opportunity with real products. The reason I chose to look elsewhere is the “2-up” comp plan. Why should you work so hard to get your business rolling and then literally give away money that you have earned? In this case $1,994.00
