I Got Got big time with this MLMMultilevel Marketing is selling products by using independent distributors and allowing these distributors to build and manage their own sales force by recruiting, motivating, supplying, and training others to sell products. The distributors' compensation includes their own sales and a percentage of the sales of their sales group (downline).! I have canceled my YTB store finally by just letting my one year pass. This was one of the biggest rip offs I have ever seen. The people sat right in my face and lied about all the travel benefits of YTB. I used some of my retirement money to pay the startup costs and I am totally pissed right now. No travel benefits and all they want me to do is find other old people like myself to get on conference calls so they can be tricked into joining YTB!

A friend of mine got into this, after a few weeks of booking costly flights and getting people signed up. When she checked her statement, she had made a measly amount of money. I think she stopped.

I had a completely different experience from most of the posters here. I joined to make it a business. I treat it as a business. I work on my business as hard as I work on my job. I treat it the same way as if i had a storefront. That is the key.
Last year I had the first debt free Christmas in over 20 years. I wasn't rolling in dough but my Christmas was very comfortable with no bills being due in January and February as in previous years.
I sold TRAVEL. That was my focus. As a result I gained customers and business partners. I have booked cruises, group travel, resorts, even a High School Senior trip. this year I was able to take advantage of some travel discounts as well. but it wasn't my FOCUS. Anyone who joins my team that is what I tell them. that is how I mentor them. This is how I have been mentored.
So for those who didn't succeed, I say give it another try but try a different attitude. Focus on the BUSINESS not the PERKS.
Don't work it as a get rich quick scheme because it isn't and as you experienced, you won't be successful that way.

I would never have the time for an MLMMultilevel Marketing is selling products by using independent distributors and allowing these distributors to build and manage their own sales force by recruiting, motivating, supplying, and training others to sell products. The distributors' compensation includes their own sales and a percentage of the sales of their sales group (downline)., I barely have time to now keep catching up on other things to deal with. Are all MLM's like this?

I was in ytb also and it is a very good business for me but it started to slow down. And I wasnt getting people to do it.The business that I am in now never slows down and the average person does it everyday. It is The Bold Approach (TBA) a business that everyone can afford because its only $5 dollars to join. Listen no other business pays out like this one does recurring monthly payouts and it NEVER STOPS!!! The website is www . g3 . tbatwo . com you wont miss $5 dollars and it is so simple any age can do it and succeed!! It wont hurt to check it out and again the website is www . g3 . tbatwo . com.

P.S. Many people in YTB are also in TBA your downline will help you succeed to the top! See you there!!!

Is YTB still around? I haven't received any emails from their mailing list lately.
