Background
Have you ever 'failed' at Network Marketing, or
any kind of home business? I admit that I have. I ended up sinking close
to $10,000 into Herbalife...about half of that was getting started and
buying $4000 worth of products for a 'Supervisor' order...and the rest,
my coaches/upline dragooned me into buying into their
ridiculously-overpriced advertising coop ($500 buy-in gets you 5 leads,
and you were supposed to buy 3 or more of these 'wheel slots'!).
I
might have had about $5000 in income come in...but I spent countless
hours calling my overpriced leads, calling my downline's overpriced
leads, and training my downline, most of whom disappeared because they
weren't making any money.
So you need not feel embarrassed in my company, if you have ever been unsuccessful in network marketing.
What Does it Take to Achieve Success With My Internet Business?
The
financial fiasco with Herbalife taught me that although there IS a ton
of money to be made with internet business, I needed to find the RIGHT
business opportunity, and more importantly, the right Mentoring Group
within that business to join.
A preliminary Google search revealed
the Top-Tier Internet Businesses. Darren Gaudry's Passport to Wealth
caught my attention immediately because of the products, which included a
comprehensive suite of internet marketing software and resources, and
the compensation plan: it is an Australian '2-up' plan, which means each
new member you sign up will 'pass up' their first two sales to you,
their sponsor. Their third sale, they keep 100% of the $997 profit.
Meanwhile,
the two sales they passed up to you? Guess what...they both will pass
up their first two sales to you too!! Do you see what I mean, about how
you could just make a few sales yourself and still have lots of money
flooding in?
Thus I began to do some serious research into
Passport to Wealth...I was NOT about to get scammed again. Well,
technically I didn't get scammed by Herbalife...it IS an amazing
product, but I did feel that my mentors ripped me off by selling me
$4500 in 'wheel slots' that cost $500 a piece for a lousy 5 leads, who
were little better than flipping through the phone book. Seriously, I
had leads who thought they were applying for a job at a doctor's
office...
So I searched every work-at-home forum and ranking site
that I could find for details about Passport to Wealth. I was looking
with a critical eye, for some little piece of negativity that would
dissuade me from spending $997 to join.
I didn't find it. Instead,
I found some incredible testimonials from real people who had been
taught how to Earn Money Online by the Passport Mentors4U team.
I will now share with you the pros and cons of the Passport to Wealth business opportunity. Let's start with the cons.
Passport to Wealth Cons
a)
$997 to invest --Although this isn't so much of a barrier now, with the
$600-$1200 tax rebates on the way as a result of the Economic Stimulus
Plan, in the past this investment requirement could make it difficult
for many aspiring entrepreneurs.
b) 2 Sales to Qualify --With
Passport to Wealth, you pass-up your first two sales to your sponsor.
Although this isn't actually a 'cash' expense, that is still $2000 that
you are passing up to get qualified.
Of course, if you can get two
sales, you can get more...it's not the money itself that has the value,
but the skills that you gained in the PROCESS of getting those first two
sales.
Passport to Wealth Pros
a) No Phone Calling Required Coming
from Herbalife, where the modus operandi is to 'Call your leads 3-4
times per day', it is SUCH a relief that I don't have to talk to people
on the phone anymore.
You can either have Professional Sales Associates
(PSAs) call your prospects for you (for a commission on the sale), or if
you join the Passport Mentors4U Team, the leaders call your prospects
for you for FREE, as a service to members.
b) You have an
automated system which will sort, educate and close your prospects
WITHOUT you...you just have to fill your marketing 'funnel' by driving
traffic to your website, and the system will have sales dropping out the
other end. This works through a Lead Capture page, where prospects
leave their details and go on to view the 14-minute Passport to Wealth
video presentation, and then receive a series of educational
autoresponder emails that also include free gifts and digital products
to help your prospect make the decision to start the business.
c)
The compensation plan is structured such that once you are qualified,
each sale puts $997 in your pocket right away . If your downline is
serious and motivated to Earn Money Online, they will succeed and pass
up their first two sales to you, for another $2000 of pure profit for
you. If your downline are bums and don't do anything or follow the
instructions, then you still made $997! This solves the problem of
spending countless hours trying to train your downline in the hopes that
someday they will make sales and recover your advertising costs that
you spent to recruit them!
d) Free Trial You can actually
sign up for a free trial with Passport to Wealth and see the back
office, access some of the products and software, and kick the tires so
you really *know* what you are getting yourself into! Most of the other
top-tier Internet Businesses wouldn't even TELL you about the details or
the products unless you first paid an application fee!
So, there
are the pros and cons of the Passport to Wealth business opportunity
itself...and although that might SOUND excellent, I tell you that it is
still not enough. I had learned the hard way from Herbalife that even
more important than WHAT business opportunity you join is WHO you join
with!
It doesn't do you any good to have a powerful automated
marketing system that can make sales while you sleep...if you don't know
how to get interested prospects to your website!
So after
diligently researching the business, I began researching the Passport to
Wealth mentoring teams with equal diligence. I continued to dig, Google
Search, and investigate. I felt that I had learned very little in terms
of network marketing from Herbalife, so this time I was going to choose
which team I joined. I interviewed three potential sponsors, from the
Passport Mentors4U Team and the Passport Gold Team.
The Passport
Gold Team seemed to have LOTS of help for new people...but only until
they made their first two sales. After that, you were removed from the
rotator and on your own for marketing.
This sounded like the exact
OPPOSITE of what I wanted...I didn't want anyone making my first two
sales for me and then leaving me, because it was the SKILLS to create
the first two sales that I needed, not the sales themselves!
The
Mentors4U team, lead by Megan Vaillancourt and Stephanie Sammour, built
their business around that exact principle. These two stay-at-home moms
make incomes that make my own executive salary from my day job seem like
chump-change.
The Passport Mentors4U build you a lead capture
page free of charge, complete with killer ad copy and integration into
an autoresponder that sends out a series of educational emails complete
with the occasional free gift to your prospects.
These sales
letters do the sorting and educating for you, and when the prospect is
ready to hear more, the Mentors call them FOR you and close the sale!
Since
I joined Passport to Wealth 2 weeks ago, under the Mentors4U team, I
have learned the fine internet marketing arts of Blogging, Article
Marketing, Press Releases, Squidoo, Ezines, Craigslist, and more. I
don't want to brag or make silly claims of my income, but to give you an
idea, go to Google and type in 'MyInternetBusiness', and click on the
'Groundbreaking News...' ad (right now it is number three on page 1).
Imagine...two weeks into this business and my site is already on the
FIRST PAGE of Google!
I'll leave it to the reader to determine the
kind of business that is generating for me now...and the kind of
business that could generate for you, too, but only if you join with the
RIGHT MENTORING TEAM.
So, in summary, Passport to Wealth , and
the Mentors4U Team in particular, is definitely NOT a scam, and is in
fact an incredible internet business opportunity where you can make $997
per month, or per week, or even per DAY once you get your search engine
rankings high enough! To learn more, you may visit the link in the

I hope this review has been helpful and
informative, and like yourself I am looking forward to a bright future
with My Internet Business!
