Is World Ventures a scam?
I’m writing this blog post to set the record straight on “Is World Ventures a scam?” – once and for all. But I’m going to do far more then just that.
You see, knowing World Ventures scam information in and of itself is NOT very valuable. That is not going to help you solve money problems, reach financial abundance, or anything like that…
It’s only going to tell you some information on World Ventures. But if I’m going to be very blunt… information on world ventures isn’t the most important thing you really need if you’re researching a company in the home business industry.
But before we start talking about the REAL knowledge any Modern Day entrepreneur needs to be highly successful… I’ll share with you what I know from over 4+ years of experience being a #1 money earner in this industry about world ventures.
You’re going to get a true World Ventures review, and can know without a doubt this company isn’t a scam. And frankly… I’m not saying this from a biased perspective of actually being a world ventures distributor.
I’m not even in the company.
I’m saying this from the perspective of having earned millions of dollars IN the home business industry, and having been a part of almost 6 companies in the last few years, and known top producers all across the industry.
The fact of the matter is, most people are VERY uneducated about what the home business industry really is. They have vague notions of “pyramid schemes”, or “ponzi’s”, or these other negative words that realistically ONLY apply to illegal operations which are ALL busted within months of opening.
The rest of the THOUSANDS of companies existing in the home business industry are all 100% VIABLE, POWERFUL, and legitimate ways for an mlm company to get its product to the market place, via independent distributors.
But what’s far more powerful about our industry, is that the income potential of being a LEADER in a network marketing company is like almost nothing else existing on our planet. Especially in hard times like we are in.
So when you see World Ventures complaints…
most of them are from uneducated people, who really don’t understand the industry.
The fact of the matter is, world ventures is no different then the thousands of other companies across the home business industry. And when you are deciding which company to join… you need to think about your PASSIONS, and what it is you really want to promote.
The best thing about our industry is you get to PICK something you’re passionate about, and build a sales organization around that. It’s not very often you get the chance to do that.
World Ventures compensation plan is based around rewarding distributors for signing up new partners in their organization, and retailing travel sales. Frankly, it’s not a new thing. There are dozens of other companies in our industry that revolve around the travel industry, because it’s a huge industry, and big business.
Many of them have been extremely successful. If you ‘re passionate about travel, then world ventures might be an AWESOME fit for you. You’ll make money from the World Ventures Comp Plan the most through building an organization… as that’s where the LARGEST volume really lies.
It’s very difficult for one person to sell enough of a product as just ONE PERSON to really make much money in this industry. The power comes in when you know how to BUILD A TEAM, and can co create with thousands of other people… have tap into the income they are ALL producing.
That’s when you can hit $50,000+ monthly realistically…
…in a compensation plan like world ventures provides.
I have done this MULTIPLE times in this industry, and am currently one of the top income earners in my company. When I tell you it’s VERY REAL, I’m not kidding.
The home business industry provides a REAL way for an average person to create massive wealth. But I have a warning for you…
It’s NEVER going to be as easy as World Ventures makes it sound on leadership and conference calls. And frankly… I did NOT create the success I have in this industry by listening to a lot of the traditional tactics.
The traditional tactics they will try to get anyone to use when building a world ventures business, is to contact friends and family, approach your warm network, all sorts of things like that.
In my experience, not only has that been awkward and not enjoyable… but it’s been extremely ineffective as well. That’s why when I coach people who are World Ventures distributors on how to be successful in their businesses… I teach them FIRST AND FOREMOST how to become an entrepreneur.
And being a world class entrepreneur in this day and age… means you are KNOWLEDGABLE about how to market yourself, your business, and create RESULTS on a daily basis.
It’s not enough to sit around and wait for success to come to you. If you want great success in your lifetime, you have to GO AFTER IT. The best piece of world ventures training I can give you is this…
LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF FIRST.
When you know the tangible action steps to take each day, to generate your own leads, to have people MOVING through a marketing funnel… its’ like you can produce endless profit for any business you are in.
In our day and age, the Internet makes this easier then EVER. You can use the Internet to tap into literally millions of prospects who are out there right now, looking for information on businesses the SAME way you are.
And when you know how to put YOUR MESSAGE in front of them, you can build HUGE organizations in World Ventures.
I know, because I have many clients in world ventures who are doing this… and it is bar none, one of the most EFFECTIVE ways to generate massive cash flow for your business there is. If you’re interested in learning more about that, you can go here: World Ventures Training Secrets
All in all, the keys to success in this industry don’t lie in what company you are promoting. They lie in your ABILITY to promote that company.
Big difference.
And the entrepreneurs who understand how to do the latter are the ones who make the most money in this industry. If you want that advantage for your world ventures business, or just to have as a skill in LIFE… then I suggest you check out the MLM Training section on this blog.
There’s tons of knowledge I’ve gleamed over the last few years as I’ve made millions in this industry that I’m giving away and sharing with you for free. Hope you enjoy it!
And happy marketing in World Ventures.
Yours In Success,

Hey Jonathan,
Keep up the GREAT work and empowering people to learn how to properly grow WorldVentures, as well as any other company the RIGHT way. I really appreciate what you teach and have implemented much of it in my business, resulting in great success.
To YOUR Ultimate Success My Friend!
WorldVentures is not a scam. Infact they are by far the best travel mlm out there (in my opinion), but after almost four years with the company I can say this… It has one of THE worst compensation plans in the industry.
They barely mention that in their binary you have to have a minimum of 180 people (90 on the left lag, 90 on the right leg) in your organization BEFORE you earn a single penny residually, but they stress the idea of earning a residual income for a better way of life. There is just one problem with that, and that is that they make it more difficult to earn residual income than any other company I have seen or been involved with.
There is a rerason why they implemented the 90/90 rule into the binary and that reason is two words…”shaved checks”. What caused WorldVentures to put the 90/90 rule into affect was that top earners like Steve Little, Byron Schrag, Troy Brown, et al were maxing out the comp plan and having their checks shaved. To avoid this and risk the whales from bolting to another company with their thousands of followers WV instead decided to take the money from the little man and give it to the big hitters to keep them happy and in the company. This is how the company kept the big hitters happy and didn’t have to pay out more to them. They simply made it harder for the average person to earn anything residually while the big boys get their full check.
If you will search you will finf that the average person brings in 2-3 people total in their MLM career, knowing that this is the case WV simply knows that they actually will be only paying very few people each month because the way it works. As for me, I personally sponsorded 20 people into WorldVentures and NEVER made a residual income from the company. It is what it is, I am not calling WV a scam because they do have value in the DreamTrips membership, but if you are looking at trying to build an income through WV and MLM look at other comp plans and compare them, you will see that WV’s comp plain truly makes it difficult to earn money.
Great feedback scott.. Thanks i was considering WV after all the hype, however it is good to hear the reality also..
Thanks

First, I admit that I am not a “network marketer”. I have not been in numerous companies, and i don’t get excited by the “next big thing”. I was introduced to this form of marketing 13 years ago, the week that I graduated from West Point, and I believe that experience laid the foundation for every success that I have had since then. I attribute more of my success to that experience than my West Point degrees, my MBA, and Georgetown University financial planning studies.
I learned about WorldVentures in September 2007, and I told the ladies that introduced me to the company that I was not interested in the business, but “how much is it” (i.e. products and to be a representative)? At the time, it was $400 one-time and $40 per month. I projected a first year expense of $880 -Sept.’07-’08. I knew I had $880 in business income, so I bought into the travel company as a way to reduce my taxable income, dollar for dollar. No different than buying a computer. Now for the first product. Earlier this year, our search engine, Rovia, outperformed Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz in finding the lowest fare 68% of the time. This was an independent study by Topaz International. I used the my booking engine to book my travel from Sept-Dec.’07, and I saved $1000. The fact is this was a smart financial decision independent of the compensation plan. In fact, it’s one of the reasons why everyone, especially homeowners and business owners, should join our team. It just makes sense. In fact, dollars and sense.
As for the business building, I strongly recommend that you evaluate WV in the same manner that you’d evaluate a franchise or a start up. The truth is you can sell our flagship product, Dream Trips Membership, and make money. Our product is strong and you can have a successful sales career without recruiting. That’s why we have the B2B program. It allows guys like me to approach companies and offer our product as a corporate benefit. I think one major problem within this business context is the number of people that think that success should be measured by how many people you recruit. WE DO NOT GET PAID BECAUSE SOMEONE JOINS OUR BUSINESS. We get paid because we sell products and we get paid from additional products sold throughout our organization. What did you take away from the fact that Scott “personally sponsored 20″ and did not receive residual income?
Maybe Scott recruited versus sponsored 20. The key to success in WV and any company is focusing on serving others. It’s about helping lots of people get what they want and as a natural consequence, you will get what you want. When I sponsor you, I have a vested interest in leading you and helping you to achieve your stated objectives. I believe that if any sponsors 45 people that attend an Acceleration Training and go on a Dream Trip, then they will achieve the rank of Director in order to earn residual income. Why? Because if 45 people refer four people to our Dream Trips Membership and they sign-up, then their monthly fees are waived. 45 x 4 = 180 customers = Director = residual income. Also, the people that attend Acceleration Training earn 5 times more than those that do not. Also, we have a 98% retention rate over nearly 4 years of members that take a Dream Trip. In our business and in life, it’s simple. Be excited, Pay attention, Never Quit —-definitely not at 20.
I do not think that WV’s compensation plan makes it difficult to earn money. Nearly 30% of the people in our business earn a check. We have a simple plan that anyone can follow to achieve Director within 120 days. The average director pay was around $1500/month last year or $18,000. That’s equivalent to having $600,000 in a bank CD paying 3% interest. Maybe, just maybe, if you focus on selling the products and as you do so, sponsor people that have a definitive goal that they are committed to achieving, then you will have the opportunity to receive thank you checks from WV for directly impacting their bottom line -month after month after month. Yet, even if you never find anyone else that wants to build a business, you have NO EXCUSE for not achieving your desires considering you can always go sell another product.
I encourage you to contact me if you are ready to pursue and achieve your passion whatever that may be.
Be Blessed,

I recently joined a team with WV! I see the concept, I feel the concept and I am excited by the concept. I have been able to bring prospects to meetings to get the visual effect, but it seems that I hit a brick wall if they don’t get it right then.
I keep hearing things about other scam companies and my favorite which has been said to me twice now is I am dedicated 100% to xyz, which to me is a lame excuse. It seemed to me that they were almost coached to say that if approached by others.
I really feel I am in a good market and have the skills to be successful, maybe I need a little direction.
Any advise for me?
