Emerald Passport Scam Review, Is it Real or Not?
Searching Google for an online business opportunity, I found Emerald Passport. I navigated through a informative website and then called the owner to find out more. I spoke to one of the owners, Billie, who was very informative and answered all of my questions eagerly.
What are the Products?
Level one or Phase One as it is called, is a personal development and wealth building strategies course. This comes in a digital format. Additional information is added to the course from time to time at no additional charge to the distributors. The fee for this level is $1,295.00 with $1,000.00 for the distributor and $295.00 going to the company.
Level two or Phase Two as it is called, is a four day business conference. This is called “Wealth and Self”, and is for personal and wealth development strategies. The fee for this level is $5,995.00. The distributor earns $4,500.00 and the company gets $1,495.00
The Phase Three product is a “Millionaires” conference. This conference has to do more with wealth building. The investment at this level is $14,995.00. The independent distributor keeps $10,000.00 and the remaining $4,995.00 goes to the company.
What does the pay plan look like?
Emerald uses a 2-up pay plan. This means that your first two sales are considered training sales and are passed up to your sponsor. In this case it means giving up your first $2,000.00 in earnings. You are then entitled to the first two sales of everyone you recruit.
At the Phase Two and Phase Three levels Billie did tell me that I would only have to pass up one sale at each Phase, which means I would only be passing up $14,500.00. She also said that if I decided to join and invest in all three Phases at the same time, she would “qualify” me instantly meaning I would not have to pass up any sales.
Summation
Emerald Passport has good products, however, I chose not to sign up. It seems to me that it takes a lot of effort to get your business going. Why would you then want to give up your first two sales? This means $2,000.00 at the first level alone.
