Once you find this website - it isn't high in the page rankings, even when you specifically search for it by name - it is fairly easy to navigate. You can immediately see the product, the opportunity and many benefits of working with the company. On their home page (the only page) that tells you up front that you will have to put in "a little honest work" inorder to reap the benefits of the business. They refer to their distributors and "partners" but that's only schematics, right? As for other information on the company, they do direct you to the World Success Team and apparently Share the Wealth is a division of this company.
Who They Are
We don't really know much about who Share the Wealth is. World Success Team is internet marketing professionals. They are a company that mentors and trains people to earn an income from a home based business. They have more than 14 years of marketing experience, but that is about all the information that is available. Where the company is based and how long the actual company has been in business is a mystery.
What They Do
It is rather difficult to determine just what Share the Wealth does because they don't publish anything on their website to tell you. All they do is allude to a wellness product that is available to sell. They claim that it is the "perfect" product, it is in demand and that Share the Wealth will give you "access to one product that has scientifically validated reasons for using it." However, what the product is or why you would use it is yet another mystery of this site.
How You Make Money
Again, the Share the Wealth site alludes to this mysterious "perfect product" that is "in demand" and you can become financially independent by selling it and creating a downline. They do say that they have multiple online marketing portals. One of these is four lead pages that allow you to market your business. They also claim to provide you with free prospects of people who want to start their own work at home business. Training and mentoring by experts is another asset of the company. But if you want to know about the product or just what exactly you will be selling, you have to fill out the online form in order to take the tour and get more information.
What We've Heard
There isn't much about Share the Wealth at all. There are no reviews, no testimonials and the site itself is nearly impossible to find. On top of that, you are left asking more questions than you get answered. What is the product after all?
If you are able to find a rep for this company, make sure that you drill them first and ask them the following questions. Do they have weekly or more often conference calls you can bring your prospects on free. Do they have a solid set of marketing skills they use to grow their own business. If they can grow theirs they can grow yours too right?
Passport to Wealth has a product line of software titles that are based on Internet Marketing. These programs cost $997. There are several different titles of software that you can choose from. What they say you will get for your $997 is $75,000 worth of products that you will own and have the resale right to. What a great concept? That would be awesome if you could purchase that much product for a measly $1000.
But you want to find out what kind will be able to sell? Are they generic products that you can download on shareware sights? How old are these products, are they keeping up with the technology today? No matter how good the product is, if it is not relevant to the market today, it will not do you any good to try to sell it. Unless you have a very good sales copy and know how to advertise online to get it out there.
Their marketing plan is the famous “aussie 2-up”. The way this works is you pay your sign up fee and get your product for $997. Now, you work and struggle to make your first sale. Yay, you did it. You just got a check for a $1000, but wait, you don't get to keep it. You have to give it to your sponsor, the person that signed you up in the Passport to Wealth. Well, that's ok, because you have another sale ready to happen, (you know, the first 2 sales in network marketing are always the hardest.) Ok, next sale done and you have your money, now you can claim even. Nope, not yet, you have to give that check to your sponsor as well. Now you know why it is called a 2-UP plan.
Time to get back to work, and now you will be able to keep your money. But better yet, is now that you have your third sale, your new recruit will have to give YOU their first $2,000. And that is how it all works. 2-UP, then 2-down, however way you want to look at it. Once you get your 2-down, you win and can keep making money. But I do need to mention, once you pay your 2-Up, your sponsor is now your competition and no longer your support system. The same will go with those you recruit. Just a bit of info for you to chew on.
But all in all, Passport To Wealth does have some great software in their product line. If you are great at Internet Marketing already, and know how you can market these products, and don't mind a bit of competition, then go for it. If not, then you may want to find something a bit more traditional.
Keep your eyes open and please do your research. Know the product and their compensation plan inside and out before you go into any MLM venture. You will be able to find something that you can be happy doing and make money at the same time.
