The Top Stories Of ‘08

Yesterday I gave you 5 of the most influential stories of 2008 in network marketing and mlm. Today I will give you the biggest stories that many of you know about, and there are some of you that know nothing about them.

*1- The many many attacks and lawsuits against a MLM Giant in YTB. I am sure you have heard of all the hoopla and fuss going on about this company and their practices. It is always sad when one of the companies in your industry has to defend itself against accusations and things whether justified or not. The fact that they were under such scrutiny and pressure speaks volumes of what people think about them. Now, I am not judging them I am merely stating facts that have been well documented. Under such strain the company has changed some operational strategies that they feel will be beneficial for all involved. We can only wait and see as time will tell.

*2- What I think is maybe the biggest event to happen in the industry, and has flown completely under the radar. An event which was so monumental, yet not many people knew or even heard about it. 5CTV acts as a cultural bridge,bringing the world to China and China to the world. 5CTV’s programming will introduce you to some of the most exotic locations on earth and their travel resource partnership with Traverus Travel can actually bring you to them. Think about the potential and positioning of being in front of 1 Billion people plus at any given time. This is a sleeping giant and it is about to wake up!

We, the agents in TraVerus Travel, are so grateful & estatic that our founder, David Manning had and continues to have a forthright business vision. His operational program and compensation plan allows all involved to show any and all individuals how to develop an additional stream of income to enhance their quality of life if they choose OR allow them to make a positive decision \"to fire their boss and start the home based business that can take them to financial freedom \". There are approximately 11 ways that we are able to make money with TraVerus and we are so thankful that we have phenomenal training support with the far-reaching leaders here in Philadelphia, PA and all over the world.

Despite the present economy, we are sincerely encouraged with the new association with 5CTV and TraVerus Travel. Come join us and also travel to ALL the world! Stretch your exposure and enjoy financial freedom at the same time.

Traverus is a godsend. It gives me the ability to go to sleep when I am tired and get up when I am rested. It also gives me the ability to travel to see my friends and family. Take a look at some of the great “Member Trips” that we offer here. http://www.themoneywilllhuntyoudown.com.

I would love the oppotunity to show you why I believe that Traverus is the number one business opportunity available today.

Traverus Travel Network is a ‘networkers dream’! Take it from someone who has been working to build a home based business for years. This is a company where you can achieve your goals.

The connection with 5CTV is truly a Divine Blessing. Its proof positive that you should set your goals knowing you will succeed, and the way will be made clear! David set out to make Traverus the largest leisure Travel company in the world – and 5CTV makes this a reality.

Traverus Travel has given me back my spirit of HOPE. With the economy in a downward spiral, I was forced to start looking for another way to earn income. After months of searching I was blessed to find Traverus Travel. I am so glad that I made the decision to come on board, not withstanding the awesome compensation plan that is offered, the member trips are top notch. With my love for travel this was an easy decision. I would recommend highly this business opportunity, but if you are going on any vacations or trips in the near future…….Traverus Travel is your passport to savings!

I praise God for the opportunity to be part of a TraVerus Travel. I will always be greatful to Aaron Johnson, who found out about TraVerus on the internet and introduced it to the Phila area in Feburary, 2007.

I am on a mission to introduce to bless as many people as I can through the vehicle of TraVerus Travel. TraVerus gives them an opportunity to change their financial state for the better and time freedom to enjoy life.

TraVerus Travel is a vehicle that is turning dreams into reality.

Allow me to show you how and answer your questions.

You have the POWER in YOU – I have the vehicle for you.

The news of YTB is really a sad state for many of us do have friends in YTB. As I was once a YTB rep.

Traverus is a company that does a very good job with making sure the things are in place for their reps. Also they do an awesome job with public relations and making sure the exposure that we need is there mainly with the 5ctv aspect.

Thanks for sure this with us.

Jhonny, I guess you are referring to YTB?
Well, I would like to invite you to take a look at TraVerus. I have been in for 2 years and not once have I missed a check. As a matter of fact, I have decided on early retirement (after 27 years in the classroom) because I was losing money by going to work!!

You’ve seen the rest…now try the BEST!! TraVerus Travel …I LOVE IT!!!

Traverus is one of the top opportunities. The business plan is designed for the average person to build a substantial income part-time around their other commitments. Anyone who really has the desire and who treats Traverus as a business, can retire themselves with the Traverus business within a year. With Traverus you don’t have to sell “products” like other MLMs. All you are doing is redirecting people who are already planning travel or thinking about travel to do their business with you. Traverus is also the only MLM biz opp I know of where you can earn over 10K a month just by offering the product/service and not having a downline at all.

Big kudos to TraVerus! Being international is an awesome thing, I have been with the company almost 2 years myself, and have truly seen what this company is made of. It’s a great feeling. I have been able to travel to places and spread the word about our company. I can’t wait to hear of more things to come.

Traverus has provided an awesome opportunity for social and/or financial growth. Its power is shown in its ability to draw others from every other MLM business there is. Even qualified & experienced travel agents are joining our ranks. In the 4 months of joining this great business called TRAVERUS, we have made more than in the 5 years with the oldest and largest MLM company. Traverus is not the biggest yet, but it is the best by far.

Oh my gosh!!!
This business literally keeps me awake at night it is so exciting! If you ever wanted to have a Home Based Business with the multitude of benefits and tax savings that come with it,
this is your best opportunity on the planet! How many businesses do you know of that, you can make up to a six-figure income or more, and begin making money immediately with a start-up cost for under $200? I only know of one – and I know a great thing when I see it!

Post got deleted because we don\’t want to hear the truth. I am a member of Traverus and have been for 17 months. I have an incredible down line and make more money then the majority of members here.

The facts are that our company is in trouble and they are not telling the truth to the members. There are checks that have not cleared. There are travel commissions that are not being paid. (can you say joystar all over again.) The BBB is getting tired of the compaints and yes the lawsuits are coming.

Time to wake up. We don\’t sell travel we sell promotions. We can either get our act together or over night this great thing God sent all of us will be gone. The leaders of our company know exactly what I am talking about they won\’t say anything because they have got to fleece as many people as they can before the owner shuts it down.

Okay, go ahead and delete my post. You have been warned by an insider.

TraVerus Travel is THE best travel and network marketing opportunity by far, thanks to Dave Manning. Before setting up a business in China, you have to go through multiple layers of Government, 12-15 in some cases. Since China’s business realtionships are built on TRUST, you can bet your “TraVerus Coded Bonus” they have done their due diligence before signing off on any contract with Dave Manning. Plus, you don’t have Billionaires investing and taking part in a business venture to lose money. This 5CTV merger speaks volumes on so many different levels.

To our friend JR, there are payroll mistakes made every week in Corporate America; that doesn’t mean that the company should shut down or be sued, it simply means that an error needs to be corrected by the next payroll period. My brother owned a paino delivery company and I was his only employee for one year. Two of my checks were calculated wrong. Does that make him a bad employer or a cheat, did I report him to the BBB, or even tell other’s not to go to work for him? Not at all. As a MATURE adult, I approached him and pointed out the error and had a check re-written right on the spot, and we went right back to the buisness at hand, growing a bigger and better company.

Twenty years later, I still love my brother. It was a simple mistake, we all make them, you probably made one today. The ‘B’ side is, if I am around 20 years from now, I will still love TraVerus, and will be taking advantage of the travel perks, the amazing compensation plan, and the business overall, while meeting wonderful people along the way.

Have a positive outlook on life; leave negativity in a dirty sock at home where it belongs. TraVerus Travel is what life should be about; people, fun, residual income, and seeing an amazing world up front and personal. Cozumel, here I come.
