With the ever growing trend of internet marketing and home business Opportunities is EPI a viable option? How do they stack up with other 2 up programs? Hence this review!

Who are they?

Emerald Passport International or EPI for short, has been around for about four years and has been reasonably successful. EPI's main attraction is their marketing movie which they claim screens prospects before you speak to them. What is unique is that the movie presentation is interchangeable to address specific marketing needs and goals. The only downside to that is that it is a replicated sight and there is still some level of saturation even if it is modified to a certain degree.

What do they offer?

The products offered are prodominetly Real estate courses, personal development referred to as the Self Module, Forex Trading, and Financial Planning. These are the same products that you would be offering, should one join this program.

The Compensation

Emerald Passport is a 2 up program, meaning that you pass over your first 2 sales to your sponsor and then the third one is yours to keep. This is something to seriously consider, as you are actually out a lot more money than the initial sign up. Giving away your first 2 commissions and the cost of marketing/advertising and fees' incurred for simply running an online business add up to a lot more than just the initial sign up fee. The basic level to get started is $1295 followed up by two upper level conferences that cost $8000 and $13,000. The conferences are geared in the self development arena and have remained a bit of a mystery as they are always held in Panama.

In conclusion, Emerald Passport has decent products to offer but with the program costing so much to get in and having to give up your first 2 sales I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner who has never done marketing. Two up programs easily discourage the beginner because they are not seeing instant payouts . Another really big concern would be that they are based in Panama (which is something to consider in the way of any kind of refunds). As far as how they stack up in comparison to other 1 or 2 up programs? Their high cost program in addition to the products that can be purchased in several other programs for cheaper. There is not a lot of bang for your buck. However, If you have been in the marketing arena for any length of time and have been successful, then you might consider EPI for their high payout in commissions.
