I was invited to join another MLM opportunity lately and of course as I research them all here is what I discovered. The company is an old one, founded back in 2005 by Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcue, operating in the travel industry.

The  Direct Selling Opportunity

World Ventures provide its independent representatives tools to market / sell vacation and lifestyle memberships and other related products / services.

Compensation Plan

Lineage Organisation – If a Representative personally sponsors seven Representatives, then he/she will have seven different lines (sometimes called “legs”) of Lineage. Each of these is independent from the other, and each will probably have a different number of Active Representatives and Customers over time. A Representative’s Lineage Organization only includes Representatives and Customers added through a direct line of sponsorship and is independent of the Binary Organization.

Binary Organisation – The Binary Organization is built in twos. Each Representative has a left side and a right side and may only be related to a single Representative on each side.

Difference between Representatives and Customers, according to the World Ventures Comp Plan

Customers purchase the products (available products may include the various Dream Trips memberships as well as the products offered through the Dream Trips marketplace).

Representatives are compensated based strictly on the sale of WorldVentures’ Products (both their personal sales and the sales made by their downline Representative Team). No commissions are paid for recruiting new Representatives. Additionally, only Representatives may be placed in the Binary Tree.

I will comment on that paragraph at the end of this review.

Representative business system (RBS)

Representatives must purchase the RBS for an initial fee and monthly fees from there on. The RBS in an online tool that includes a personalised marketing website with a back office system as well as an online marketing training.

In order to stay in active mode and to earn commissions you have to pay the monthly fees.

Final Words – Recap

World Ventures offers a line of retail products through the Dream Trips marketplace exclusively for US residents. Although the line of physical products is very limited customers will be mostly interested for the memberships and the benefits / discounts that come with.

Representatives are not forced to recruit people into the compensation plan and can be compensated for sales on the marketplace and the Dream Trips memberships even if people that are buying the memberships are not interested in the MLM opportunity

That characteristics make the compensation plan ethical / not only focused on plain recruitment. The key thing is if we can consider the Dream Trips memberships retail products.

The comp plan is very long and you have to study the details at your own pace examining the bonuses / rewards.

In general is an expensive MLM opportunity with the monthly fees running. If you are travelling a lot throughout the whole year you need to examine the membership fees and compare to the benefits / discounts. If you are a newcomer then World Ventures might not be the best solution for you, at least for the moment.

World Ventures is publishing income disclosures and the one of 2015 show that the average annual commissions was $300. Moreover the average annual commissions for representatives that did earn overrides was $1350.

I would start as a customer to check out the Dream Trips discounts and if they surpass the monthly fees (depending on your travel volume).

Other things to consider is checking out their partnered merchants. Can those restaurants / hotels / cruises satisfy your travel needs?…What the competition has to offer?…and what prices are offered through their competitive companies?

You have to calculate everything before joining because once you do the monthly fees will put a pressure on you.

How to Get Started Online and Promote World Ventures or any Company

I always suggest people to get started online with a website on their own. Offline connections are not enough and promoting MLM opportunities to friends / family is embarrassing.

But if you own an online property then you can promote products / companies around the globe without having to pay for memberships. Moreover you can create your own products / services and take your business to the next level.
