This is NO scam you guys....I have a friend who's life turned around because of World Ventures, and witnessing that, made me wanted to join. If you're the type that's not trying to make something out of yourself or not the type to put in little to no work, then this is NOT for you. anybody who's SERIOUS about joining us, then get in contact with me to fill you in on more info. Hope to hear from you guys soon. And Thank you WorldVentures!
This is not a scam, guys. Don't listen to this guy. Yes, you have to put in some work. Yes, you have to get out there and put in some initiative. But that's the point. It's work. It's a job. They tell you this from this beginning. They tell you you can make either a no money, a little money, or a lot of money, depending on how much you work. Would your average joe 9-5 job be scamming you if you were fired after not showing up to work? No. And neither does WV,
You state to ask people that have been in the business for a while, directly to the source, right? Well, of course those people are going to say all good things because they are wanting you to sign up to keep their status and try making the money promised. That's the whole deal. You have to ensure that you keep your status at the level set by them to ensure that you make something. I am not a WV member and have never been, but I know what it takes to get what they promise, not likely to happen.
All Of You Who Think It's A Pyramid Don't Even Know What A Pyramid Is. For Those Of You Who Think You Know What One Is, Let Me Break It Down For You. A Pyramid All Leads Up To One Person. Like The Person Who Owns The Company You Work For. No Matter How Many Hours You Put It, You'll Never Make More Money Than Them. Your Daily Job Is A Pyramid, So It Must Be A Scam Too. World Ventures Is Legitimate. And Your Success Depends On You. But You Can Always Make More Money Than The Person That Put You I
orbitz and travelocity and all the companies that respect themself have support phone number like 1800 .fore all the geust and the members that need help and support to use the site.and rovia.com dont have any number for support and even the support chat that need to be there is not working at all....so i today i booked on anather site that have good support and service.thank you,
@atiainc I am definitely not "the expert". But I do have way more experience with the company (over 3 years worth) that most people do not have. So that would make me more knowledgeable at least, correct? Once you have been with the company awhile, you have every right to make your own testimonial video.
Stop repeating the same thing as if it has any merit through repetition.
The difference between this and a job is that at a job you make a set wage, here you can work to make more. The only thing is that you are not going to make more, you're going to make next to nothing and then quit. Because that is how they make their money and that is what they set you up for.
If you want to have straightforward and honest review of WorldVentures directly from the source, check out this blog. I am an ex-Worldventures leader (I had been with the company for 1.5 year and yes I did get paid) and I created this blog to help people avoid all the bad things I got myself into by joining this company, reading the post could save you a lot of time and trouble: isworldventuresascam.blogspot.com
@jackyjackson i CHALLENGE you to find me a $70 4-5 star cruise, all inclusive, with an oceanview suite. post a link in the comments of this video. READY, SET, GO!!!
I got into WV...for about a month and a half. I made like...30 bucks. The problem isn't with the company. The problem was with me. It isn't a scam, I can vouch for that. And even though I LOST about $1000, I can still say that the company IS for real and it IS legit. I have really good friends who are making six figures already and they're in their twenties. But here's the thing: You have to dedicate your LIFE to doing WV if you get into it. If you don't, you'll fail miserably like me.
@HayatDonna I'm thinking the same thing, upfront cost and 2 monthly fees doesnt equal $1000, the upfront cost to be BOTH a rep and be entitled to the vacations is $125 and two monthly fees of $27 it doesn't cost anything to quit. Roughly $182 =/= $1000! This guy is questionable. Beside all he needs is 4 people and no more montly fees, 6 people on each side within 2 months is a $200 bonus and that's more money than you put in, what you put in is what you get out with this company it's like a gym
@HayatDonna You have a monthly fee until you sign 4 people up. You can make a lot of money by signing 6 up, 3 on your left side and 3 on your right. You have to dedicate some time if you want to make it work though. If someone drove up in a really nice brand new BMW, and said "If you can get $500 by tomorrow, I will give you my car." You'd try and find a way to get the money, and you'd have the money by the next day because you wanted that car. Its the same sort of thing with this.
@jackyjackson i don't know if you had a bad experience and couldn't get people to join under you so thats why you are hating on this, but frankly you shouldn't be slandering world ventures and lying about them because these deals are a hell of a lot better than you'll find other places. Ya it might be the same price as another company, but the quality is absolutely incredible and un surpassed. so have fun paying 6 grand to go on a tour of china for 10 days and ill pay my 3 grand :)
@jackyjackson done arguing. certain people get it, certain people dont. people who understand business, understand this. and make money. cause its a business. we sell a product that everyone loves. therefore we get lots of sales. and lots of refferals. therefore, we make money. because we are in sales. selling a product which, once again, everyone loves. people love ipads. people buy ipads. people selling ipads make lots of money. same goes for video games. gaming systems. redbox. kiosk. macys.
Look brock, if you're motivated enough to make such a slipshod scheme work for you, you're motivated enough for so much more.
Honestly, yeah there's room for success. Only for the HIGHLY motivated(REALLY REALLY HIGHLY MOTIVATED) though, and if you're as smart as you are motivated than you can make something else work much better for you.
Dude really? YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS.
If you believe in what you're saying and you're putting in the work they want.
but im not going to waste my time anymore trying to get you to see the common sense in every sense possible, because you simply dont get it. ill let you dislike the company all u want, cause people with ur thoughts on the company are outnumbered.
@jackyjackson see, u say all this stuff that sounds cool, but u've got it wrong with this company. everyone thats a rep putting work towards the company is making money which is why u never hear of anyone that was with world ventures say they were screwed out of their money from world ventures. worldventures gives people hope, it changes some lives, the company helps others, and im sure they'd help u even though ur soooo against them without knowing anything about them. how green is YOUR pasture
If you're motivated enough to make this shit scam actually work for you then you are motivated enough to possibly start your own business. Maybe you're just too stupid, I think you are if you don't understand what a pyramid scheme is.
Personally, for me a greener pasture would be cultivating a skill and using it to make a living and be productive. Then I'd be a truly productive member of society, not a parasite who depends on the constant failure of people in his downline.
@jackyjackson why do i get the feeling that you, for some reason, are trying to badmouth a company that gives the average person an easy way to travel, and live their lives the way they want to? it doesnt make sense to badmouth a company thats changing people's lives. it doesnt make sense to badmouth a company which is the total opposite of everything you preach of.
@jackyjackson you dont understand what a pyramid scheme is. the name came into play because a couple companies back in the 80's tried the whole pyramid business model, and they got kinda big, but they were taking illegal shortcuts, eventually leaving people in the dust. so naturally, the name came about, and now, uneducated people start talkin a bunch of stuff about something they know nothing about. except for what they've heard from other uncredible/uneducated people.
I'm educated on the matter, I've done my research.
This IS a pyramid scheme. It IS a scam. When you are signed up, you are signed up to buy sails materials to or to fail. It IS PARASITIC and UNETHICAL.
There's no arguing that, it's a fact.
Prove to me, prove that this company is legitimate.
Where are the statistics? All I hear is people promising great things and no statistics showing great things. In fact, the numbers tell a different story. Brock, you truly are an idiot.
@jackyjackson its not a fact though, cause you dont have to buy a damn bit of sales* materials. sounds to me like you tried it knew no one, no one trusted you, you werent credible, and you failed. u dont speak of facts, you speak of poor judgement. the facts are all over the place. the product is amazing. people love it. u cant say the product is crap, if you do, then you are a lost cause. with an amazing product, its easy for anyone thats passionate about it, to sell the product and make money
You are educated in this matter? Really. Do you even know what a pyramid scheme is? By definitions a pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public. World Ventures provides a service & a product. Both of which are exceptional.
What's more, World venture fits your definition perfectly. Yeah, you sell a product, an inconvenient travel program. Just to use as a selling point and to keep barely legal, In reality the primary goal is enrollment and sales of 'business tools'. There is no real investment and the primary source of the company's income is the 75% + people who lose thousands on this scheme.
You literally just posted a definition describing world ventures. lol.
@mistyvanarkel you sell bulk vacation packages, the dates for the vacations are preset, and you have to travel with big groups! Why don't you tell them that!
@KingofZona they dont sell bulk vacation packages, they buy in bulk and pass savings to the members. just like costco. the dates are preset yes. that way you can plan ahead, and say "hey, im taking this time off". they have hundreds of trips to choose from every year so..... whats the problem with that? and no, you dont have to travel in large groups, who told you that? they price you for a minimum of two when you are booking the trip. 2 is not a larg group. and who goes alone? no problem there
World Ventures 30x30 = $2000 a week. I sign one person up on the left and they were awsome and signed up 29 that is 30. Same thing on the right. The 30x30 means your a senior rep and you will earn $2000 A WEEK! A WEEK! $8000 A MONTH! World Ventures is amazing!!!! Is World Ventures a Pyramid? Yes but the top guy on the period WANTS to help out everyone below them because they get credit! Check the videos on the official site!! Its just AMAZING
they think its a scam, and they give up. cause most people are week and are influenced by the negative. i dont ever let anyone tell me i cant or wont be able to do something. because i always end up doing what i want to do. its all about how bad you want something. funny u call me useless when you dont know me. ur just mad that im owning you in everything you say, so therefore you resort to insulting. which is the move of unintelligent people.
im not mad, im just standing up for what i believe in. and i have strong beliefs. and what numbers r u refering to? the income disclosure statement? any rep that tries out the company, and doesnt make much money, its for 2 reasons. one, they liked the idea, and was preoccupied by other work, so they didnt have time to put forth effort, but they still like the membership, so they just go on vacations. 2, the rest have someone in their ear yacking about how they dont think it will work or ......
SO BEFORE ANYONE ELSE TRIES TO TALK SHIT ABOUT WORLD VENTURES, GO AHEAD AND READ THE LAST COUPLE PAGES WORTH OF COMMENTS. SO FROM HERE, I'T BE STARTING ON PAGE 2. AND IM NOT GONNA APOLOGIZE FOR WRITING ALL THOSE COMMENTS, AS I FEEL IT WAS NECESSARY TO COVER ALL MY BASES WITH MY THOUGHTS AND KNOWLEDGE IN A COMMON SENSE SORT OF WAY.
@jackyjackson and i look at ur youtube page. all i see is a bunch of videos of some abnoxious kids running around pretending to shood eachother. so before you go and tell people to do something constructive with their lives, go ahead and look at urs and what you are doing, and the videos you are watching. sounds like a bunch of wasted time to me.
Those are quite a few years old, I couldn't bring myself to delete my childhood memories.
But what am I doing with my life? I'm an artist and I'm beginning work on a number of projects. I hope to cultivate my artistic and literary skills so that I may bring something of value into this world.
What are you doing? You're trying to trick people into wasting their hard earned money so that you might make some residuals. You're parasitic and the world is worse off for having you.
@jackyjackson to be a rep.. 99 dollars. which no one makes money off of, cause it pays for ur business license and ur legal team that handles ur taxes, paperwork, etc. for most people thats less than a days worth of work. lets see how much a waste of money that is. spend 99 to make money? go tell 12 of ur best friends, and lets say only half sign up? 6 people? $570? took you an hour, maybe 2? yeah, some waste of time and money.....
@jackyjackson so you have all these people that want to live their lives, and they go spend $200-$300 in a weekend at a bar. calling it a "blast" when after a couple hundred at the bar, most likely they cant remember a damn thing. so thats where you should start to see the good about WV right there. and ur artistic skills will do nothing for you in todays world. things are changing, the world is taking a turn for the worst, so the only thing in my sights is working with WV. living my life.
@jackyjackson and ur literary "stills" have to be used in the right way in order for them to be called "skills". which is not by attempting to insult someone (whom you know nothing about) on a worldventures video comment section or whatever you call it. grow up, open your mind, and like i said, your next insulting comment better be a good one, or im gonna be forced to reply to your ignorance, and make you feel pretty dumb once more.
I believe I spelled skills correctly, you've misread my comment.
Anywhoo, I don't think you're as argumentatively competent as you think you are. I don't think you're as smart as you think you are.
I look at that guy in the video and I see an idiot who fell a scam and is working desperately to recoup his loses. I've got an open mind, but not an empty one.
oh and its not just cruises, its 4-5 star vacations all over the world. and not just vacations, its discounts on everyday leisure. getting your hair done, shopping, going out to dinner, mlb games, nascar races, etc. thats a pretty amazing membership (u know... the membership is the product). so again, if all these promises ended up being bullshit, the company would be no more within the first few months.
i think ive said this on another video, but there was a time in my life where i had EVERYTHING. life was perfect. then i lost EVERYTHING through some BULLSHIT. before i ended up making any money with the company, the people i met that were associated with the company, helped me get back on my feet and turn my life around. trying to give me hundreds to help me out. helping me wake up positive everyday once again. so its also a huge network of amazing people. everyone ive met are fairly genuine.
@polarisman800 so when i watch videos of a company that helped turn my life around, and i see people badmouthing it, it actually gets me upset. as you all can see, ive explained my thoughts in the most "common sense sort of way" and someone's probly going to reply saying "oh ur just trying to talk up the company so people sign up under you, so you get more money". no, if that was the case, i'd give out my website, phone number, or SOMETHING after each one of these passionate comments i write
Reading from a script are we?! PR people didn't right that, did they? Actually, if they did, you may need to hire better writers. You only need to have a partially rational and functioning brain to make your own conclusions about this company. You are ACTUALLY saying people become better fathers, mothers, parents, etc?! Unreal! I'm guessing next you going to tell us that if we pray to jesus that money will fall from the sky? Seriously??
robert kiosaki, warren buffet, and donald trump all support network marketing, and own their own network marketing companies. Charles King is a proffessor at harvard, and he gives the company an A+. So those to me are pretty credible people to get info from. so therefore, im going to say fuck you to anyone that tells me that my dreams of becoming successful with this company arent going to come true.
@jackyjackson so ive given legitimate replies to people's negative responses to the company. and you come in, and all you can say is haha sucker? first of all, who says that? second of all, where's YOUR legitimate response?? cause i remember saying "haha, sucker!" when i was in the 2 grade. which leads me to believe that you are uneducated. which leads me to believe that you will probly say nothing intellegent in response to my reply to you. u can try, but ill make you seem feel again.
sorry for all the typos and grammar mistakes. i was too distracted by goin off on the people that talk shit about a company that's been so helpful to me, to where i didnt think about my grammar, or spelling. :)
Welcome to the internet, where if you can save energy and get the message across in a few words, you've won.
Anywhoo, there is no doubt that this company is a scam and I'd guess you'd be a scam artist for being a part of it. Though, I wouldn't really count any of your work as art. The really clever folks are the ones at the top who've suckered you into doing this. I've seen the numbers, I've heard the spin, I've been to a goddamned seminar. I feel bad you. Good luck.
@jackyjackson it takes a little more that a few words to get the message across, because alot of people dont understand things. just like you, who doesnt understand that with this company, people are happy, thrilled, and they are living their lives the way they want to live them. if you call that unethical, immoral, distasteful, then i'd LOVE to hear what you consider ethical, moral, and tasteful.
I understand the company perfectly and I also understand what you're trying to do here. You have to sell. Why can't you do something productive with your life?
@jackyjackson this is when people like you automatically make yourself sound ignorant. like i said, if i was trying to sell something, id give out my contact info. which i dont do. be productive with my life? hi, my name is andrew. ive helped my parents run a high end gvt scrapping business since i was 14. they buy whole navy ships and scrap them out. ive built baracks for the army off and on for 3 years. i help people get their lives together in my off time.
@jackyjackson no, you are the product of stupid. i warned you a few comments ago, that if you reply back to my explaing things in a "common sense sort of way" in a negative matter, i would make you seem/feel dumb again, and i succeeded. you can say nothing else, ive covered all my bases, why dont you try worldventures and see for yourself what its about? dont have the money to get started? want me to western union you some so you can get started? cause i feel you may need help with your life.
@jackyjackson hey all your replies to aawoodyaa1 r meant for me. they i accidently commented as i was signed onto his account. the numbers you speak of, are numbers of reps that liked the idea, signed up as a rep, and had uneducated people like you tell them it doesnt work. yacking in their ear about something you know nothing about. so like ive said before, alot of people are week. those numbers mean nothing to me. especially 20 of 20 people i know personally with wv, are making good money.
@jackyjackson and obviously, your mind has not matured if you're using words such as douche to insult someone. let me ask you, did u try out worldventures? what was ur experience with it? how many people did you tell about it? did u get ur first 6? did u get ur money? id love to know how many people havnt gotten their money after putting forth effort to make the money with this business.
Let me tell you that maturity is not a matter of vocabulary but rather a matter of outlook and mine is rarely dismal, that is unless I gaze upon the unsightly shores of world venture, a sight so crooked not but a fool would invest. I've been to the seminar and I've been with a friend who's lost his lost his confidence in this business in the end.
Brock, listen friend,
this is not what you want to be involved with. you're better than this.
@polarisman800 dude come on your mind hasnt matured if you curse....everyone in the world curses at some time its a venting method moron someones vernacular has nothing to do at all with how intelligent one is period and to not just assume what you just said but to actually say it out-loud shows how intelligent you really are, im not saying this is high but my act score was 28 meaning i could go to almost any college i wanted to and i cuss all the time, its more how/where you grew up..stupid
@irishpunk1089 didnt say ur immature cause u curse, but when someone tries to insult another with the word dousche, and have nothing else to say, thats what 5th graders say. i curse.... alot. and if u got scammed around $16,000 you should have shut that company down. which any normal person would flip out and take them to court. so ill think you're lying on that one.
I had plenty else to say, you just didn't want to address it because there was no way to respond without sounding like an asshole. I'm glad you're currently struggling financially, so much so that you are making these videos and doing your best to defend the company that is screwing you. One day you'll be left with nothing, no skills, no job experience, and no money. Douche.
@jackyjackson well, being that i make 900 dollars in a day not even with worldventures, id say ive got more skills than you any day. people WITH skills see world ventures and understand completely. YOU see nothing with this company simply because you lack the skills that matter. there's no way you can ever change our minds with your negative talk because you cant convince anyone that something doesnt work after they have seen it work many many times. it just doesnt make sense to try to argue.
@polarisman800 oh and by the way when world venture club first started out i was into it i think around 2005 or so maybe a little later , went to italy, france, cozumel mexico and a few others awesome times but later on i ended up getting scammed around $16,000 from the company so just because you didnt get scammed doesnt mean it doesnt happen within the company because as far as im concerned world adventure club is a ponzi scheme, period
@jackyjackson i also do landscaping, and i detail cars, boats, and motorhomes. so therefore, i think its safe to say that i do many productive things in my life. why dont you do something productive with your life other than trying to prove people wrong which obviously you have failed miserably at?
@jackyjackson do not tell me how my life is, because you know nothing about it. my family is worth 10's of millions of dollars. i dont NEED to do ANYTHING with WV, its a choice to live my life how i want to live it, which the company gives people that choice. do not tell me, and others how worldventures is because you know nothing about it. you're basing your beliefs off of past network marketing companies that have failed cause they try to take the shortcuts. no shortcuts with this.
I am in MLM b4 and find WV plan is the fantastic plan..even now i have not make the money yet!But believe will make it to the top...Lyssa Singapore..Make a living...living.
Every one love travel who dosen...only money stopping them let share with more plp make their dreams come true with cheap holidays wth WV.Good luck to all the positive plp out there///
Your video's title is misleading! Please change it! You're supportive of WV, but you may be giving a misleading impression to prospects because they see your misleading video title in the Youtube suggestions on the right.
@s9301378f I don't think it's misleading at all. People search for "World Ventures Scam" and want to know if it is a scam or not. That is where my video comes in to explain that it is not a scam. What IS misleading would be when people make comments about the company that have no clue what it's about. That is misleading. Some people make comments about the company that are completely false, and cause others to believe the stuff they make up.
What happens when there are so many people in this program that not everyone will be able to go on the trips they want to go on, when their schedule allows them to go.
Then there is no service and all that is left is a pyramid Scheme.
@joshlentelle That is just like asking what would happen if the Apple store ran out of iPads. That would be a GREAT problem to have. Based on your logic, Apple would then go out of business because too many people wanted an iPad. All they have to do is make more iPads. It's the same thing with Dreamtrips. We just build more Dreamtrips. And your reference to the "schedule" not allowing people to go would make sense except we have trips every single day to choose from.
@yourhealthtruth I think that my comment is a valid one, airlines and hotels can only accommodate so many people.so if i want to go to say, Cabo and everything is booked for the next week and i only have a few days off from my job. Then i would either not go, or I would have to go somewhere else. Now what if I didn't want to go anywhere else and i was dead set on Cabo. I would miss out and have to wait until my schedule would allow. How is this a good thing ?
@joshlentelle The scenario you described above has never happened in human history. There are always more flights and hotels than there are people. If you wait until last minute to book, then that is your fault, but there is plenty of time to book a dreamtrip before it fills up. If you are "dead set on Cabo", then you need to book the trip before it fills up. But rarely do people complain that we do not have enough trips. Hope that makes sense!
@yourhealthtruth And besides, if this is such a good deal why can't they sell this in a more traditional manner. MLMs are just structured to fail period!
@joshlentelle More people become millionaires through MLMs than any other occupation. Word of mouth marketing is the absolute best way to reach people with your product, so why would you want to choose a different route?
Yeah, ask somebody who is hooked into the company so they can get their referrals and not have to pay more money.
"Is this some sort of a pyramid scam? If getting paid on performance is a scam, then yes this is definitely a pyramid scam." HA!
YOU HAVE TO REFER MORE PEOPLE TO THE COMPANY IN ORDER TO AVOID MONTHLY FEES. THOSE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE TO PAY MONEY OR REFER MORE PEOPLE. Translation => Pyramid scheme!
@mrunge340 you pay for the membership. you get all this awesome stuff that the company advertises, and obviously, its not a lie, cause people r happy with the experiences. people are happy, so they refer others. the company rewards you once you refer 4 by making your membership free for life. got a cell phone? what company? does your cell phone company tell you, "hey, refer 4 people to sprint, and you dont have to pay your monthly bill again." ? NO.
@polarisman800 Fine, enjoy your experience, but a pyramid scheme is based upon referring more people in order to reap some kind of reward from it. It's a pyramid scheme where the higher-ups receive more money in memberships by getting you to refer more people who pay monthly fees instead of just you. They get money from you and benefit from you referring people. People built on more people = a pyramid. A cell phone company isn't a pyramid scheme, which is why they don't do the referral thing.
@mrunge340 a pyramid "scheme" is a name used towards a company that has some sort of scheme to it. not everone wants to be a rep. the people who have just the membership also refer people. and no one makes any money off people signing up to be a rep, as the cost of becoming a rep pays for your business license and ur team of secretaries that handle ur taxes and legal paperwork. everythings a pyramid. alot of companies are pyramids. comcast, cell phone companies, kirby distributors, etc.
@mrunge340 its a proven business model that works. this works well, because the product is outstanding. everyone wants to travel. the only thing that prevents someone from traveling is the cost. which this makes travel affordable for almost everyone. yeah. the higher up's make more money. cause they've been doing it longer, and its a network that builds through word of mouth. and the words that r coming out of peoples mouths are all positive words from the people experiencing their membership.
@mrunge340 you sell the product. the product is legit. you get paid for each sale of the product, and you get paid a large cycle bonus every 6 sales. but i do gotta say, the dude in the video has a poor choice of words and phrases that sound pretty scripted. anyways, if all that was bullshit, then there'd be alot of unhappy WV reps out there, and the company would be toast. and like i said, everyone wants to travel, especially if they can do it through a company like costco.
@mrunge340 except its for travel. not rice crispies and toilet paper and all that other stuff that you buy in bulk and save. worldventures is unstopable especially since we've got all these baby boomers retiring. what do retired people want to do? travel. would they rather go to hawaii for 4 grand? or 800-1100 dollars? would they rather pay 1500-2000 for a cruise rather than $70? no. theyd pay the $70. keep in mind its all with 4 and 5 star vacations.
@mrunge340 and if it was all about money, i wouldnt have had people of worldventures offering to give me money to get me started, i wouldnt have other people of worldventures coming up with random labor to give me some money.... such as $400 for 4 days worth of weed pulling. so again, aside from the money part, people of world ventures r more than willing to help out someone in need. does anyone else have anything to say against world ventures? lol
I am a Public Relations and Marketing practitioner . I can tell that the guy was paid in order to record him self and upload this video in youtube. The message that tried to pass you was formed in order to attract people between the age of 20's till 30's . We can understand this from his wording. Additionally one can understand that he was paid as actually i believe; him self had someone which dictate him his body language movements.
@sandwitshis Wow, thanks for the credit here. I actually had just come home from a convention of ours where we raised over $200,000 for Big Brother/Big Sister in a matter of 2 hours was amazed at the quality of our people. But your assessment of me is actually somewhat flattering, considering that none of it is true ;)
@brockhardman you are DEFINATELY imployed by world ventures, smart move I soppose, to make a video that is titled 'SCAM' but actually reverses it (or tries to) so the non-believers will become believers.
Come on man, this is not unbias at all, and you are completely screaming a WV salesman with that douchie Affliction button up.
@will1634 Good thing I don't wear Affliction, but good try! And of course I am trying to get people to see my opinion, which are all reasons why WV is NOT a scam. People don't Google the phrase "World Ventures not a scam". Sorry that you feel like I tricked you into telling you the truth.
Also, i am not sure why you want unbiased advice. That would only come from someone who has never been part of the company. Are you telling me that you want advice about WV from someone who knows nothing about WV? That seems pretty retarded to me.
A good counter offensive strategy of another worldventures hopefull who is trying to retrieve his investment from his friends pocket... cano yu tell me why this company tells its reps not to mention anything about the business till they get the new recruit in to a nice hotel lobby.. what a trap..getting a friend to naively set a trap to their own pals, if the 1st step is dishonest how can you expect the rest to be honest!
@ukproducermusti Would you rather we host our meetings in a shack? No, because then you would make fun of how poor of an impression we made on you by our low budget meetings. And there is a good reason that we have you come hear from an expert. They are people who are actually in the business who have testimonials of real life experience with the company.
no I rather had it in a nice hotel, however I am sorry to say but the presentations quality wasnt even fit for a shack, apart from the low quality it was actually wrong, there was a photo on one slide for 5 mins, it read Cyprus, October 2010, coming from Cyprus I am 100% sure that this picture is not cyprus!
1) the construction (lets say you can have any style in any country and I am wrong) the vegetation doesnt belong to cyprus it is far too tropic probably from St Lucia or something... by October all the vegetation in Cyprus mountains turns dry and yellow hence the hill behind this villa was a rainforest ;))
I appreciate everything you said in this video. In a nutshell for me; you need to do the labor in ANY work that you do as to the Lord, not man. I don't know who this @roor20 is but they are sadly mislead, and apparently bitter about something. I am watching a dear friend of mine working very hard and building her business. I am also a rep with this company, and I never for once thought I could earn anything without working myself. Thankful for you, Brock - Cheryl Togashi Maple Valley, WA
Corporate America is a pyramid scheme. i.e. fat cat CEO's making multiple millions, upper and middle management making their big share, and the largest group at the bottom of the company living paycheck to paycheck. Are you on the chopping block, regardless of position, when layoffs roll around?
Real opportunity is in network marketing, where a person can become more than they ever imagined through hard work and helping others achieve their goals.
Man I have to jump in. What is a legal pyramid scheme? So many people comment and say illegal pyramid scheme but most do not realize the entire system is a pyramid in ever aspect of life..... People have been brainwashed to say these phrases about a network marketing company.... Network Marketing is nothing more than a marketing strategy which is how to distribute the product or services. You can either spend millions on advertising or share with people for doing so by a commission structure..
How are those dream trips treating you? I just got back from 2 weeks in Hawaii. My company paid me for 80 hours of work and the airfare was free from all my business frequent flier miles I racked up. My tooth was kind of aching when I got back so I used my company provided dental plan to get it checked out. Turns out it was a small piece of fresh pineapple that had gotten wedged into some dental work I had done a few years ago. No biggie.
I hear you, its so good to be part of a team and laugh everyday knowing that "this" is work..
@roor20 I actually feel sorry for you my friend.. this isn't too good to be true, this is real, and the only person thats stopping you from making money and laughing every day is...you..Change your mindset my friend, personally i don't care if you join, but make a positive change in your life...

Yes this has to be a scam..i joined this company 2 years ago and i did not know anything about this company. After a few weeks of working very very hard for them they started sending me checks. They later forced me to go on free so called ( DREAMTRIPS) by giving what they called travel dollars...now i only do WV and baby i am loving scamming broke people into success. Yes i feel bad about what i do to the point that the next time i see broke people who need a break in life i will not share WV.

This is NO scam you guys....I have a friend who's life turned around because of World Ventures, and witnessing that, made me wanted to join. If you're the type that's not trying to make something out of yourself or not the type to put in little to no work, then this is NOT for you. anybody who's SERIOUS about joining us, then get in contact with me to fill you in on more info.

Stop repeating the same thing as if it has any merit through repetition.
The difference between this and a job is that at a job you make a set wage, here you can work to make more. The only thing is that you are not going to make more, you're going to make next to nothing and then quit. Because that is how they make their money and that is what they set you up for.

I got into WV...for about a month and a half. I made like...30 bucks. The problem isn't with the company. The problem was with me. It isn't a scam, I can vouch for that. And even though I LOST about $1000, I can still say that the company IS for real and it IS legit. I have really good friends who are making six figures already and they're in their twenties. But here's the thing: You have to dedicate your LIFE to doing WV if you get into it. If you don't, you'll fail miserably like me.

That's the way pyramid schemes work.
kyledbryant 1 month ago
@HayatDonna I'm thinking the same thing, upfront cost and 2 monthly fees doesnt equal $1000, the upfront cost to be BOTH a rep and be entitled to the vacations is $125 and two monthly fees of $27 it doesn't cost anything to quit. Roughly $182 =/= $1000! This guy is questionable. Beside all he needs is 4 people and no more montly fees, 6 people on each side within 2 months is a $200 bonus and that's more money than you put in, what you put in is what you get out with this company it's like a gym
a1q2s3 1 month ago
@HayatDonna You have a monthly fee until you sign 4 people up. You can make a lot of money by signing 6 up, 3 on your left side and 3 on your right. You have to dedicate some time if you want to make it work though. If someone drove up in a really nice brand new BMW, and said "If you can get $500 by tomorrow, I will give you my car." You'd try and find a way to get the money, and you'd have the money by the next day because you wanted that car. Its the same sort of thing with this.

Now the final stage of level 1, the Senior reps about 1.5% were able to earn a profit of $100-600/yr.

@jackyjackson you dont understand what a pyramid scheme is. the name came into play because a couple companies back in the 80's tried the whole pyramid business model, and they got kinda big, but they were taking illegal shortcuts, eventually leaving people in the dust. so naturally, the name came about, and now, uneducated people start talkin a bunch of stuff about something they know nothing about. except for what they've heard from other uncredible/uneducated people.

You are educated in this matter? Really. Do you even know what a pyramid scheme is? By definitions a pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public. World Ventures provides a service & a product. Both of which are exceptional.

@mistyvanarkel
You copy pasted that from wikipedia
What's more, World venture fits your definition perfectly. Yeah, you sell a product, an inconvenient travel program. Just to use as a selling point and to keep barely legal, In reality the primary goal is enrollment and sales of 'business tools'. There is no real investment and the primary source of the company's income is the 75% + people who lose thousands on this scheme.

robert kiosaki, warren buffet, and donald trump all support network marketing, and own their own network marketing companies. Charles King is a proffessor at harvard, and he gives the company an A+. So those to me are pretty credible people to get info from. so therefore, im going to say fuck you to anyone that tells me that my dreams of becoming successful with this company arent going to come true.

Welcome to the internet, where if you can save energy and get the message across in a few words, you've won.
Anywhoo, there is no doubt that this company is a scam and I'd guess you'd be a scam artist for being a part of it. Though, I wouldn't really count any of your work as art. The really clever folks are the ones at the top who've suckered you into doing this. I've seen the numbers, I've heard the spin, I've been to a goddamned seminar. I feel bad you. Good luck.

@jackyjackson it takes a little more that a few words to get the message across, because alot of people dont understand things. just like you, who doesnt understand that with this company, people are happy, thrilled, and they are living their lives the way they want to live them. if you call that unethical, immoral, distasteful, then i'd LOVE to hear what you consider ethical, moral, and tasteful.

@jackyjackson well, being that i make 900 dollars in a day not even with worldventures, id say ive got more skills than you any day. people WITH skills see world ventures and understand completely. YOU see nothing with this company simply because you lack the skills that matter. there's no way you can ever change our minds with your negative talk because you cant convince anyone that something doesnt work after they have seen it work many many times. it just doesnt make sense to try to argue.

@polarisman800 less than 3 out 4 people made $0.00
of those who did earn, over 80% made less than $25/yr over that four period, their costs equate to a loss of $575/yr.
Then there's the next level, approximately 15%, who made $175/yr, only a loss of $425/yr
Now the final stage of level 1, the Senior reps about 1.5% were able to earn a profit of $100-600/yr.
if you made it to this level, less than 0.75% of the corporate members have, you were fortunate enough to earn an average of $5K/yr.

@s9301378f I don't think it's misleading at all. People search for "World Ventures Scam" and want to know if it is a scam or not. That is where my video comes in to explain that it is not a scam. What IS misleading would be when people make comments about the company that have no clue what it's about. That is misleading. Some people make comments about the company that are completely false, and cause others to believe the stuff they make up.

What happens when there are so many people in this program that not everyone will be able to go on the trips they want to go on, when their schedule allows them to go.
Then there is no service and all that is left is a pyramid Scheme.
joshlentelle 7 months ago
@joshlentelle That is just like asking what would happen if the Apple store ran out of iPads. That would be a GREAT problem to have. Based on your logic, Apple would then go out of business because too many people wanted an iPad. All they have to do is make more iPads. It's the same thing with Dreamtrips. We just build more Dreamtrips. And your reference to the "schedule" not allowing people to go would make sense except we have trips every single day to choose from.

@yourhealthtruth I think that my comment is a valid one, airlines and hotels can only accommodate so many people.so if i want to go to say, Cabo and everything is booked for the next week and i only have a few days off from my job. Then i would either not go, or I would have to go somewhere else. Now what if I didn't want to go anywhere else and i was dead set on Cabo. I would miss out and have to wait until my schedule would allow. How is this a good thing ?

@joshlentelle The scenario you described above has never happened in human history. There are always more flights and hotels than there are people. If you wait until last minute to book, then that is your fault, but there is plenty of time to book a dreamtrip before it fills up. If you are "dead set on Cabo", then you need to book the trip before it fills up. But rarely do people complain that we do not have enough trips. Hope that makes sense!

@mrunge340 you pay for the membership. you get all this awesome stuff that the company advertises, and obviously, its not a lie, cause people r happy with the experiences. people are happy, so they refer others. the company rewards you once you refer 4 by making your membership free for life. got a cell phone? what company? does your cell phone company tell you, "hey, refer 4 people to sprint, and you dont have to pay your monthly bill again." ? NO.
polarisman800 6 months ago
@polarisman800 Fine, enjoy your experience, but a pyramid scheme is based upon referring more people in order to reap some kind of reward from it. It's a pyramid scheme where the higher-ups receive more money in memberships by getting you to refer more people who pay monthly fees instead of just you. They get money from you and benefit from you referring people. People built on more people = a pyramid. A cell phone company isn't a pyramid scheme, which is why they don't do the referral thing.
mrunge340 6 months ago
@mrunge340 a pyramid "scheme" is a name used towards a company that has some sort of scheme to it. not everone wants to be a rep. the people who have just the membership also refer people. and no one makes any money off people signing up to be a rep, as the cost of becoming a rep pays for your business license and ur team of secretaries that handle ur taxes and legal paperwork. everythings a pyramid. alot of companies are pyramids. comcast, cell phone companies, kirby distributors, etc.
polarisman800 6 months ago
@mrunge340 its a proven business model that works. this works well, because the product is outstanding. everyone wants to travel. the only thing that prevents someone from traveling is the cost. which this makes travel affordable for almost everyone. yeah. the higher up's make more money. cause they've been doing it longer, and its a network that builds through word of mouth. and the words that r coming out of peoples mouths are all positive words from the people experiencing their membership.
polarisman800 6 months ago
@mrunge340 you sell the product. the product is legit. you get paid for each sale of the product, and you get paid a large cycle bonus every 6 sales. but i do gotta say, the dude in the video has a poor choice of words and phrases that sound pretty scripted. anyways, if all that was bullshit, then there'd be alot of unhappy WV reps out there, and the company would be toast. and like i said, everyone wants to travel, especially if they can do it through a company like costco.
polarisman800 6 months ago
@mrunge340 except its for travel. not rice crispies and toilet paper and all that other stuff that you buy in bulk and save. worldventures is unstopable especially since we've got all these baby boomers retiring. what do retired people want to do? travel. would they rather go to hawaii for 4 grand? or 800-1100 dollars? would they rather pay 1500-2000 for a cruise rather than $70? no. theyd pay the $70. keep in mind its all with 4 and 5 star vacations.

@mrunge340 and if it was all about money, i wouldnt have had people of worldventures offering to give me money to get me started, i wouldnt have other people of worldventures coming up with random labor to give me some money.... such as $400 for 4 days worth of weed pulling. so again, aside from the money part, people of world ventures r more than willing to help out someone in need. does anyone else have anything to say against world ventures? lol

Corporate America is a pyramid scheme. i.e. fat cat CEO's making multiple millions, upper and middle management making their big share, and the largest group at the bottom of the company living paycheck to paycheck. Are you on the chopping block, regardless of position, when layoffs roll around?
Real opportunity is in network marketing, where a person can become more than they ever imagined through hard work and helping others achieve their goals.

People have been brainwashed to say these phrases about a network marketing company.... Network Marketing is nothing more than a marketing strategy which is how to distribute the product or services. You can either spend millions on advertising or share with people for doing so by a commission structure..
