Is Passport to Wealth a Scam? Detailed Research Uncovers Truth!

First: What is a 'Top-Tier' Business?

For purposes of this research, a 'Top-Tier' business is a work-at-home opportunity where:

a) Your are not required to make seemingly endless hours of phone calls, if any.
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.
c) The compensation plan is structured such that each sale puts $500 or more in your pocket.

In other words, the exact opposite of what I was doing with Herbalife, and what most similar businesses require. I.e. Xango, Vemma, Ameriplan, and others.

The Top Tier internet businesses that I identified were Global Resorts Network, PassporttoWealth , EDC Gold, and Carbon Copy Pro.

All of these businesses have powerful automated marketing systems that can literally make sales while you sleep...and accordingly, all cost around $1000 or more to get started.

I researched all of them, scratching them off the list as I went.

Carbon Copy Pro Too expensive, $1500+ to get started to say nothing of marketing. You have to pay like $37 to even see what the business is about. The products are basically just credit-repair softwares, which didn't interest me.

Global Resorts Network More reasonably-priced to get started, but honestly...with the economy as bad as it is, is this really the time to get into a business selling luxury vacations?

EDC Gold This just seemed to be so over-saturated.

Passport to Wealth Passport to Wealth caught my attention because of 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 somehow ended up buying '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 These ones in particular hit home with me:

From BANKRUPTCY TO $110,000+ IN FIRST 2 MONTHS!  When I was introduced to this...it couldn't have come at a better time. In my first 2 months I've been able to cancel my Bankruptcy and have earned over $110,000! This business is perfect for People who have never made money online before...There are even Marketing Professionals to Advertise Your business for you...this is the Real Deal.

No more long hours for little money for us.

Apparently, this is a business that internet novices and veterans alike can make money with! So 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 Mentors 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.

The Mentors4U team, lead by Megan Vaillancourt and Stephanie Sammour, seemed to be the exact opposite. These two stay-at-home moms make incomes that make my own executive salary from my day job seem like chump-change.

The Passport Mentors 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 occassional 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!

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!
