TVI Express — scam or legitimate opportunity? Today’s article delivers you the direct facts that you will need to know about this opportunity before you part with your hard earned cash and jump on board this company.

TVI Express was set up in early 2009 and quickly established a massive buzz created around its travel products and earning potential. With the headquarters based in London, U.K. The Corporation has launched in India, China, then to the US and Canada in August, 2009. Just like lots of other M.L.M opportunities TVI has not escaped the pyramid scheme stigma that comes up from time to time with firms of this nature. As opportunists it’s very important for us to always carry out our full research on all home based companies baring in mind there are lots of scams and folks out there who need little more a part from to rip us off.

Firstly let’s outline what a ‘pyramid scheme’ really is. It’s presented as a so call opportunity which involves members to signup others into the business in return for money, everyone recruited all have the high hopes that fortune will directly follow, there’s no product delivered by the company. In near all Multi-Level Marketing companies a service or product has traditionally been present and TVI Express is no different.

The TVI Express scam fortuitously doesn’t exist. The company supplies access to a first-class travel membership. Members will be able to book flights, automobiles, hotels, and cruises all at reduced prices. Having a TVI membership also means you receive a free 7 night holiday to a chosen destination which has a free return flight for one when you join up. With great incentives like this it is no surprise that TVI attracted over two hundred thousand members within the first 6 months.

TVI Express has however created a large amount of controversy over their travel certificate programme. Most sceptics of this business have labelled the TVI Express scam typically stating specific concerns over the no current corporate address noted on the TVI website, no corporate data or executive bios on the TVI Express Executives, no listing in Britain corporations Registry for TVI Express, the company is not now accepting visa cards for payment, TVI Express has suspended redemption on their travel certificate and so on. The facts are their for all to see and in my opinion whether this is a TVI Express scam or not will this corporation be around for the long haul?

The TVI business model incentivises representatives to actively work the business by having a great earnings and bonus structure. The company boasts large financial claims stating you can make $10,000 within your first week or 2, however is this realistic? Regularly when people hear claims of this nature they are rather drawn in by the income potential although it will also send alarm bells ringing that this could indeed be a TVI Express scam. Realistically only a few marketers are ever able to generate this sort of earnings straight away, if your targeted, determined and have an idea about actual marketing then setting yourself a 3-6 month plan is a smart idea, hopefully after that time period you could be able to generate a 5 figure monthly revenue though don’t expect it to be straightforward, those of you who have worked in M.L.M previously can fully appreciate how troublesome it can be to really kick start your business. Experienced marketing experts who’ve personally branded themselves have massive followings from all over the world, when they jump to a new opportunity a wave of their supporters will follow suit so making a five figure revenue in a matter of days, do not be fooled though by the giant income claims that they put on their internet site, if your only starting in network marketing it will take you a bit to actually get things moving.

Joining TVI costs $250 though your precise cost is more like $300 when you think about VAT and bank wire fees and so on. Once you pay for membership you will receive an official internet site together with back office for you to run and keep your business well organised. Within there you will also find access to your travel membership site and free vacation. The great thing about this business is there are no further monthly costs to pay which is great and if you like the idea of the free holiday which members receive just for signing up makes this opportunity virtually risk free.

The question has been posed time and time again and the answer is relatively simple. The reality is that the ability to accept all major forms of payment is most preferred. Some businesses will accept a personal check and in-turn, accept more unnecessary risk than is advised to do so.

So there are a couple options for both processing credit cards as well as accepting checks that can not only make your customer base feel more comfortable doing business with you, but cause a substantial increase in the amount of sales for that given month. For some time, MasterCard and Visa were steady with almost the same risk profiles associated with their credit cards which ended up to be towards the lowest rates available in order to take credit cards. Then came the Discover card. This card from within the fee structure was always a little higher on the rate profile and carried with it many more feature benefits than either MasterCard or Visa. The card issuer, in this case Discover, could then pass part of these rates to the consumer in the form of benefits, e.g., frequent flyer miles, points toward products or services etc.

All cards are not created equal. The rates usually fluctuate between 2%-4% of the total transaction. Many in the affluent market segment usually use AmEx for their purchases in order to take advantage of the points offered by American Express usually on their travel expenses and reimbursement packages. On the flip side to this coin, the merchants have to eat the cost of the transaction while the consumers are protected. This is for many merchants a difficult choice. Credit cards processing in the United States currently runs over 75 million transactions per day on average, so there is a wide spectrum of products that card issuers can offer in order to service the consumer accordingly. The ability to take credit cards is a choice by most merchants while for instance in Chinatown Flushing, Queens, New York, the entire city runs on cash only because Chinese merchants do not wish to pay taxes and also do not wish to create a record of the transaction.

American Express offers your business the ability to accepts credit cards from an affluent market. This market has by far the largest purchasing power in the world. The largest recorded transaction was for a Yacht for over $24 million on a Black American Express card. American Express is very vigilant when it comes to card protection services. They have careful fraud monitoring programs in place that make sure that if there are any transactions that are out of the ordinary or just plain, not supposed to be there then the merchant services account will “red flag” the transaction and prompt the machine to need approval either by telephone conversation that the person who is holding the card, is in fact the person that is the owner of the same card also. Processing credit card transactions is vital depending on your market segment. (more…)

The Hard Part

Let’s face it. For most people, finding a job nowadays is like filling a pool using a teaspoon and a 25 trickle-per-minute faucet. Laziness is an innate characteristic that has been ingrained in the human body since the dawn of time. Most people just have the ability to resist it more than others. If you are not a part of this social bracket, then you might need a little more incentive than a monthly paycheck to get you to move your butt out of the house.

How about an offer that you can’t refuse? There exists, in an online package out there, a solution to your problem. Don’t have the technical skills to pull off a techie job online? Fear not, because this job requires the least amount of skills which are limited to the ability to read and process information while following instructions. You’re thinking, ‘This is too good to be true!’ The ultimate dream job is waiting for you at a click of the button. Profit Lance has come to save the day and offer you the possibility of a free home business.

The Exit Strategy

Considered as one of the most controversial inventions today, Profit Lance has been the target of many bad pre-reviews. It’s a scam. It won’t work. Yada-yada-yada. Well, now that those critics themselves have tried it, they’re probably wishing they had the guts to quit their day job. Profit Lance is an online marketing course that teaches you the basics of generating an online income within the comfort of your own home. By following the videos and tutorials, you can have your own free home business.

The downside, or maybe upside if you’re an optimist, is that you have to be willing to learn the basics of the site and apply it yourself. The beauty of it all is that once you’ve got the hang of it, you can work on your site for a minimum of 1-2 hours per day. By the eight week, you’ll be reeling in the big bucks like you were a stock broker on Wall Street. The promise of a $300-a-day revenue is as good as yours once you’ve honed your skills on this project.

There’s not much you need to do or give up because the course spoon-feeds you the resources that you need to build your own empire. You never know, maybe one day, there will be a new urban legend underdog story in the press; Former couch potato, Now the new Donald Trump. Here’s hoping, and here’s the means to the end that you want.
