TVI Express Review

If you want the truth about TVI Express, be sure to read this third party review.  If you are thinking about joining TVI Express, you may want to read this full article before you do.

TVI Express is one of the most popular companies to ever get on the internet.  I wanted to take some time to cover some key points on TVI Express simply because I’ve been asked about it so many times over the last couple of months.

First, BEFORE we go any further, I am absolutely NOT a representative of TVI Express, and the opinions in this article are my own, and are based on my understanding of the MLM industry over the last 7 years and working with distributors and companies in more than 20 countries.

At first, TVI Express fascinated me, because of the quick financial success stories I kept hearing from distributors, so I decided to take a further look into it because of the low entry cost.  People were fanatical about TVI Express when it first hit the market, and it was a show that impressed me, to say the least.

After doing my due diligence, however, I quickly lost my interest in this company, simply because of the fact that it raises too many red flags before you even take a look at it seriously.  Here’s the basis of my reasoning:

What EXACTLY is TVI Express selling?  The biggest problem I have with TVI Express is that what they’re selling isn’t very clear.  I’ve spoken to more than 100 TVI express reps, and I still have absolutely no idea what they’re selling.  All I know is that if I get in and get 2 people, I’ll make $15,000 (Supposedley).

The first issue that raises a red flag for me looking at opportunities like this is whether or not there is any real value in the product, or if it is just an expensive excuse to pass money around between distributors.  If the products are unique and add real value, then the MLM profession is one of the most unbelievable industries in the world, and you can build a profitable and sustainable organization.

I’ve now been privy to see hundreds of companies go under because they were selling products that weren’t really products. 

The next question that caught my attention was that I couldn’t really tell if TVI Express was a ponzi scheme or an MLM company. This is actually the biggest issue I have with TVI Express.  You see, in order to make money in TVI Express, you’ve got to ‘cycle’ through the express board.  Every time you ‘cycle’ you make $15,000.  It costs about $250 to get involved in TVI Express, and it’s a one time cost.  So how do you pay $250, get 2 people to pay $250, and make $15,000?

I have a simple answer for you.  Swarms of other people are getting involved and paying 0, and AS LONG AS THAT KEEPS HAPPENING, people will keep cycling through the express board.  Also, the second the crazy growth stops (and it will) there’s no consumable product to keep the pay checks coming.

What does this mean for the end consumer?  After a period of time almost all people who get involved with TVI Express will have no ability to earn money at all, because there is no ongoing product.  It’s a ponzi.

Should you join TVI Express?  That’s entirely up to you.  If you want to make some fast, fickle money that the FTC might sieze from you next month, go for it.  Just don’t recruit anyone who trusts you.

This TVI Express Review may have been harsh, but if you want to learn how you can make REAL MONEY in a legitimate Network Marketing company, and how to do it in a way that adds REAL VALUE to your customers, visit David Wood’s MLM Secrets now.

TVI Express Review

by admin on Nov.14, 2009, under Uncategorized

TVI Express aka Travel Ventures International is raising concern among people in the network marketing industry. TVI recently opened in the U.S. and offers a taboo pay plan where you only pay once and continue to make money over and over again. It may seem like a dream but how much longer will it go on before it gets shut down?

TVI Express is a London based company that runs a travel club where the users get special vacation discounts and better deals on airfare and rental cars among other perks. All that is necessary to join the club is a onetime fee of 0 and if you bring other people into the club you can earn up to ,000 time and time again.

The matrix takes some time to figure out but basically you complete several travel boards by your efforts and the efforts of people above and below you. Once you finalize a entire cycle you earn ,000 and are positioned back inside the matrix to build again. Once your recruits finish their own cycle they in turn get placed under you again and the whole thing starts over.

TVI is a classic example of whoever gets in first makes the most money and the recruits who start at the end are left with zero dollars in their purse. A number of TVI Express members have called me up and tried to convince me to join them. They were even bold enough to say that if I got in quick I could make some money before it gets shut down. Personally I avoid businesses like this at all cost. My reputation means more than a few bucks. I personally know someone who has already made ,000 with TVI but he is on the verge of destroying his credibility if he continues. It simply is not mathematically possible for everyone to make money in TVI Express.

TVI does a great job making everything look legit but don’t be fooled. They strategically place pictures and quotes of prominent people such as Warren Buffet on their web site. One new member assumed Warren Buffet was in TVI. Could he have been told a lie or did he just think Warren Buffet was in TVI because he saw a picture of him on the web page with the following quote? “The Best Investment I ever made…” You can also find Bill Clinton, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump promoting TVI. Or so it appears.

Another red flag is TVI Express does not accept credit cards. They require you to wire money to an offshore account and we are not even sure where that is. Come on people really? I understand we are in desperate times but don’t be fooled into throwing your money away. What if you decided you didn’t want to be a travel member after you wire over 0? Suppose you don’t get everything TVI says they will give you? Do you have any recourse? Can you get your money back? TVI Express is definitely raising some eyebrows.

There is no such thing as easy money. Earning good money takes hard work. It’s sort of a law of nature. There are lots of really good quality network marketing companies out there. The rule still applies that if it looks too good to be true then it is. Be careful when selecting a company and don’t get caught up in a money making scheme.

Is TVI Express Legit

by admin on Nov.14, 2009, under Uncategorized

If you have done any recent searches on new Network Marketing companies or home based business opportunities you have probably come across the TVI Express opportunity. TVI Express is a fairly new company, but as of late has been getting an extreme amount of buzz in network marketing and MLM circles. This review is going to seperate the hype from the truth so you can decide if TVI Express is a company that is going to be able to live up to its new found publicity.

Is TVI Express a Pyramid Scheme? So lets get right to the juicy part.

First of all lets define what a “pyramid scheme” is. A pyramid scheme is a business model that involves recruiting people into a so called opportunity through and exchange of money with no product or service being delivered.

TVI Express provides its members with a dynamic travel membership. Membership owners are able to book flights, vehicles, hotels, and cruises at discounted prices. Members also get a 6 day 7 night vacation to the destination of their choice which includes a free return flight for one when they join. So from this aspect I feel comfortable in saying that this is not any type of pyramid scheme or cash gifting program.

About TVI Express TVI Express is a UK based company which has been doing business globally in countries throughout Europe and Asia, and has been recently introduced to the US and Canada. In their first 6 months they have skyrocketed to almost 200,000 members which is unprecedented in the the network marketing industry.

The Business Opportunity To join TVI and start their business opportunity you submit your $250 payment, actually your costs will be close to $300 if you are in the US due to credit card, and bank wire fees and exchange rates. Once you submit your payment you will receive an official website along with a back office for you to run and organize your business out off. There you will find your access to the travel membership site, and can access your free vacation. There are no monthly fees involved with the company which is a definite plus, and pretty much makes the business opportunity a risk free venture, in that the worst case scenario, you decide the business is not for you and you walk away having paid $300 for a 7 day vacation with a free return flight.

The opportunity is built around you recruiting 2 people into the business thats it. As a new TVI distributor you are placed on the Traveler Board. Once you cycle off of the traveler board you are paid $500, $250 in cash and $250 in an eVoucher. You are then placed on the Express board, when you cycle out of the Express board you are paid $10,000 cash and $5000 in an eVoucher. When you are cycled off of the Express board you are placed on another Express board and the process repeats.

In My Opinion When I first heard about TVI Express, I really paid it no mind, as I am a network marketer I hear of new companies and so called pre-launch opportunities every day. As the company started to grow I took a closer look. Their business model is unlike any other company that I have seen in the industry which is a good and a bad thing. Its good in that it makes them unique from all of the other opportunities out there however, when a company has a business structure that is this different it can be meet with a lot of skepticism. With all that being said TVI Express, in my opinion, will probably do really well, because of the high commission pay out, and the fact that each member only has to recruit 2 people.  To take a closer look at TVI Express check I have posted some informative videos on the company and the compensation plan here.
