In my search for an online business opportunity, I found Emerald Passport International through Google. I visited a lovely website and decided to call the owners to ask about the opportunity. I spoke to Billie, she was great and answered all of my questions directly and without hesitation. Here is some of the information that I found.



What are you Marketing?

The Phase One product is a personal and wealth development course which is digital. The investment at the Phase One level is $1,295.00. There are additions made to the course periodically and once you are a "distributor" you receive all additional updates after joining for no charge. The profit to the "independent distributor" for a Phase One sale is $1,000.00 with $295.00 goes to the company.

The second, or Phase Two product is a four day "Self and Wealth" business conference. Topics include personal development and wealth building. The cost for this level is $5,995.00 with the distributor keeping $4,500.00 and the remainder going to the company.

Level three or Phase Three as it is called, is a "Millionaires" business conference which consists of wealth building strategies. The fee at this level is $14,995.00. Distributors earn $10,000.00 and the company receives $4,995.00.

How is compensation structured?

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.
