I have been reading about Emerald Passport for years on this site and have seen many negative as well as positive statements. For the record, I have been with Emerald Passport for close to 3 years. As with any business, it did take me a few months to get it up and running. After only 3 months in the business, my income began to exceed 15K on a regular basis. Why? Because it is real business, with great products, an impressive marketing system, and most importantly; support and training. I cannot begin to tell you how this has affected my personal life. I am now a stay at home dad who works about 3 to 5 hours a day, earning an executive income.
This business is not for the "get rich quick" crowd, but for honest, ethical, ordinary, average people like me.

Emerald Passport Not A Scam
OK -first of all I am not a member or associate of Emerald Passport (although I am an associate for a different and unrelated company) -just wanted to get that out of the way. I've been researching online or work-from-home business opportunites on the Internet for years and yes I've tried a couple myself.
The trend I notice on the Internet is that if something doesn't work - it's automatically labled a scam. This is especially true with MLM or Direct Sales type companines like Emerald Passport.
I guess it's human nature to find an explanation for our lack of success outside of ourselves - so it's easy to blame a company, a system or a product or service. Sometimes this is true but often, it's really us. Not everyone is cut out for this type of business. Sometimes the industry itself paints to rosy a picture and a lot of folks looking for home based businesses .. are really looking for "get rich quick".
Emerald Passport, is a case in point. In looking around on the net .. I've noticed several negative headlines - most of these are through paid or sponsored links. In clicking on them most never mention Emerald Passport at all - but simply pitch their "business opportunity".
I've looked at Emerald Passport and their "opportunity" - and didn't really see anything wrong or scamish (my word). They offer several digital products for self-improvement and wealth creation - nothing wrong with this.
From what I understand some or all of their products are proprietary - this is cool.
Look any opportunity should be checked out - but doing a google search or yahoo search is not enough. Remember any buiness requires time, effort and even money - some things really never change.
Regards,
Bill

I get a lot of calls from people that ask me what makes a great business model and what should one look for when looking at all these companies out there. I think product is the main issue. If you are not marketing a product that you see value in or enjoy then the business probably isn't going to work with you. I think you also need to be involved in a Direct Sales model that markets high end products that have high profit margins. I firmly believe it is just as easy to sell at $1500 product than to sell a $50 product. The key is you must convey value. I think MLM is very hard to make a six figure income with. But it can be done, it just isn't for me. You need a down line of usually thousands to make it work. I also tell people to AVOID like the plague any program where you keep 100% of the profits. The FTC and SEC will eventually be all over that. That is nothing but a money game. It cannot be justified, you are admitting the products are worthless by selling them for the cost of commission the rep fully keeps.
I think a system is mandatory, and the simpler the better. This is Direct Sales and involves phone work, and posture. Just like anything else in life they are buying you along with your product and plan. So you better be in this industry for a long term commitment, and not just hoping for a quick fix. You must hone your skills in prospecting, lead generation, and posture. This all comes with experience. Some pick it up in months, some it takes years. Be prepared. And again your compensation plan must be lucrative enough where the person can see themselves actually earning realistic part time income in the foreseeable future.
I have picked Emerald Passport for numerous reasons. First of all is the product. I believe in the Web-education industry and I believe in teaching people information that should have been taught to us in high school and college. I love the fact we are the only ones in the marketplace that have a guest pass. We can show people the courses before they buy, opposed to some antiquated return policy. It is imperative they see value in the products before they join. I have been part of a couple companies where you get the product in the mail and you can't believe you spent 1500 for it. I love the fact we are able to add value to the product. The new course coming out this fall teaching parents new ways to help their kids learn will be huge. Our marketplace with this product is endless opposed to the other companies that are narrow focused say on personal development or travel etc. We have something for everyone, real estate, forex, negotiation, entrepreneurship, negotiation, etc. The product is practical and useable. I know I spent 2k for a poetry class in college and feel it was worth about 10 cents! The system here is also cookie cutter. Create the lead with a movie, act as a tour guide to inform ( all at one site) and then answer questions. No hard closes, no are you in or out routines. I believe in exposures and due diligence.
Again you can make money I believe with ANY business. Honestly most people though dont because they are sold on fast riches and not sold on longevity and commitment. The ROI though on these direct sales models can be massive compared to brick and mortar and franchises. 90% of restaurants fail, who wants to though put up 500k to make it work. Here the normal person has a much better shot. Now is the time of year to join ANY BUSINESS that can help make 2008 better for you. Plus its a tax write off for 2007!
I wish everyone the best to whatever these choose, I am just glad I found something I enjoy.

Hi Chris,
So .. how long have you been with Emerald Passport? I like what you said in your post. I took the guest pass tour and was impressed with the products.
I also agree - that it can be just as easy to sell a $1500 product as a $50 one.
Do you know if Emerald Passport plans on any more products in the future?

I'm not sure if anyone else is on this forum .. oh well.
I've done a little more research and believe Emerald Passport is coming out with a new product for children - I'm not sure what it is though.

David M-
Emerald Passport is coming out with a new product for children. It is being unveiled at the annual conference right now.
I will know more about it next week, but if you are familiar with the product online for "adults" the new product is going to have the same type of information geared towards children from 1st grade through college, with three different learning levels.
It's very exciting and what we all need for our kids.

It's going very well. I am learning a lot. There is so much information to study and grow from.
Over the holidays I read another book on marketing and I am excited to get going with what I have learned.
Are you a distributor for EPI?
Happy New Year!

2008 is getting off to a bang. I love this time of year. It is so easy to cultivate new business. Everyone is out there looking for a way to generate more money and have more time freedom. People are also looking to educate themselves in areas that will create cash flow for them in 2008. That is why Emerald Passport is the best opportunity in the marketplace.
We have the best products, practical products that teach and have tremendous value. A simple streamlined system, and an amazing compensation plan. We are the ONLY company out there that will allow the customer to view the product before they buy it. We have nothing to hide unlike SO MANY of the other companies out there with their bogus products.
NOW IS THE TIME to get in the game. People are really taking advantage of the Premier package fast track to qualification special. It is really simple to earn $10k+ a month if you are consistent. Let me teach you how! If you have any questions about anything let me know. Happy New Year to all!

Quoting: malibumentor I recently spoke with 3 individuals who regreted their involvement with EPI. All three felt they had been recruited by people who were only interested in getting their money and would not make the time to mentor them seriously in the details of being effective marketers and the dynamics of phone work.

You dont need your Director to help you make money! Anyone can do this business. The calls can teach you plenty. You just have to do the work , your Director cant do it for you. 2008 will be huge. Just go for it. If you havent seen our product yet feel free to ask me for a guest pass. We are the ONLY company out there that allows the customer to see the product before they buy it so they can see value in it. Our new course is coming and things will take off. For those doing due diligence on EPI I urge you to take advantage of the Premier package discounts which will get you into the fast track to big earnings.

Spring is here and business is blooming and booming with Emerald Passport. After an amazing Marketing Boot Camp up in Toronto people are energized and sales are coming in fast and furious. With all the garbage in the marketplace it is amazing to be locking arms with Emerald Passport. Very shortly the new module called the Power of Success for Kids will be coming out. ALL PARENTS should have this course. It will teach you and your child learning strategies not taught in schools. They will be more effective students and they will learn many things such as how to handle peer pressure, how to ace tests, how to become more confident, how to focus and study more efficiently. The list goes on and on. Remember WE ARE THE ONLY company in the marketplace that gives prospective customers a product guest pass because we want them to see the value in our product before they decide to buy it. We are the ONLY company that continues to add value to our courses. We are a steady rock solid company that has been around for 18 years that is PRODUCT BASED. Can you say that about your opportunity?
The money being made here is amazing. The support and training calls are outstanding. Over 28 per week. Phase 1 customers become Phase 2 customers with no extra work on our parts. How would you like that $1000 commission to turn into a $4500 commission with no extra work. The bottom line is this. We are the Direct Sales industry LEADER in the Web-education field. If you align yourself with a leader you will get MASSIVE RESULTS. Contact me now and ask for a product guest pass. Whether you join the business or not I guarantee that you will WANT AND NEED the product.
For those that are big thinkers and want to take advantage of being a Premier customer and being on the fast tract to six figures there are many advantages. Not only do you get a monetary discount, not only do you get a qualification discount (this can save you tens of thousands of dollars), you will also get a free ad placement in our next CO-OP. Ask me for a guest pass or more information.

Hi
I thinking of joining EPI, it sounds fantastic, although I am really nervous, about whether I will succeed. I don't have a problem with doing the work or talking to people, but would only be able to do it for a max of 7-10 hours a week for a start, and would not be able to work it every day, not keen to quit my job until I know i am earning enough on EPI. Can someone tell me whether this is possble to only do those hours and do well with the business.
Thanks

I still do EPI and have done it for three years part time and have made plenty of sales. The key here is you need to create organic leads. Buying leads is the WORST thing you can do. The only one getting rich their is the lead broker. If you dont learn how to brand yourself and market you are dead in the water.
The other thing is you need to be good on the phone, you need to be a leader. That takes time. For some it takes weeks, for some it takes years. EPI actually has a good product, but the business isnt for everyone. Targeted niche marketing is the key to success.
I use voice blasting to generate organic leads. People calling me wanting to know more about my business. It allows you to only speak to live people and not dial for dollars. It is a stand alone program where you can make 500 per sale and it is a one exposure business. A business like EPI or LLI is usually a 4-6 exposure business before they decide to join. An entry point of 500 bucks is a lot easier for people to handle than 1295 or 6500. Just my point of view.
Anyone can make money with any oppty out there but you better be commited, consistent, and realize it is a business and the learning curve is steep. But making major money from home is well worth it!

This is so true. You won't get anywhwere blindly throwing money
at advertising... which is what a lot of people do. Nor should
you fall for the current internet trend that teaches that the
only good advertising is free internet ads - if you do that you'll
mostly attract people who want something for nothing - ie.
they want to make money because they don't have any.
To sell anything you have to locate qualified buyers (interest
and ability to buy) and continuously market to them. It's very
simple but a lot of people don't realistically accept that they
need to keep the email-marketing part of their business going
on a continuous basis.
If you throw in the towel too soon and give up on your marketing
(as many people do) you'll never find out if you have buyers
on your email list. Lots of people spend thousands of dollars
building a list and calling them - but they don't do the simple
activity of emailing the whole list once or twice a month to inform
the prospects that the opportunity is still available and the seller
is still committed to it.
You can "read between the lines" of what I have written here and
discover the real nitty-gritty secret to success with direct selling...

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Emerald Passport just finally after a lot of edits and changes came out with the new FULL course called power of success for kids. This course I just went through and is outstanding. There is no other product in the marketplace like this.
Teaching parents different ways for their children to learn and study. It covers from kindergarten to college. All sorts of topics are covered which ALL children should go through and watch. A course like this is going to greatly expand our market. All teachers, stay at home moms, and any parent who wants to give their children an extra tool to help them learn and study MUST HAVE this course.
I have been with EPI for three years now and it is great to see a course like this that really isnt your typical ebook type of course. It is unique and powerful and quite frankly this course can be sold for 1295 by itself. It really makes the Passport to Prosperity course complete. I love it.
If your looking at this business, don't delay, the product, and business is great. I am teaching others to create their own leads and I am so excited how this will explode our business. I plan on doing voice blasts to teachers and stay at home moms selling this as a retail product. If you want help how to do that please contact me.
If you want a free product guest pass to see this great product then feel free to email me at [email protected]

With any business it takes capital to get up and running. With that being said you need to become a master lead generator and prospector to make money with a company like EPI.
It has a long learning curve but if you get by it you will reap the rewards. Too many people though give up so easily. All it takes is finding a couple top notch people to join your team and you could make 20k very quicky.
Become a master lead generator and closer then you will have success.

I agree with Ibuzzmentor. Anyone can be successful with any business they choose. But in order to be successful you must have the right mindset, mentoring, and an effective way to generate exclusive leads. Too often people get involved with companies such as EPI, and expect overnight success. Realize this is a business and treat it as such, and work your tail off to get your business where you want it to be. The doors to success are open to everyone. Seize the opportunity.

I've been with Emerald Passport for 7 weeks now, and I've made 19 sales.
So you can say it's working pretty well for me!
Once you know how to market, the Profit Masters movie creates tremendous leverage. The product is excellent and Emerald Passport is actually adding more to it at no additional cost.
The Emerald Passport movie creates excitement, interest and converts into sales.
You just need to actually market the movie. Some people are pretending that it's a totally automated system -- it's not.
But because of the high-profit margin and the high-value of the product, virtually any form of marketing will make you a profit.
Just make sure you're prepared to put in the work.
Success to all,
Alexa

Matt,
I am constantly checking out new adventures on line to add to the streams. I agree with that it is nice to talk with a "live person". I will suggest you try this to get phone numbers for members.
Google in emerald passport "website owners" ( just like you see it)
then change the search box to emeraldpassport "call me". This will bring up a bounty of phone numbers that you can call.
I hope this helps!

I have been with Emerald Passport for three years .It truly has one of the better products in the industry. The whole key to your success is your ability to create leads. Creating organic leads who resonate with your message and website is the only way to make serious money.
Buying leads from cutting edge media or any of the other vendors is not smart, your better off learning how to create your own leads. In my five plus years working from home I have become a master of that. Become a master marketer, prospector, and closer and then you can make a fortune with EPI or any other direct sales business.

Emerald Passport is still going strong. The new product module has been a boom to many. It has opened up new doors. Everyone that joins me with Emerald Passport gets access to my Ibuzz Pro and my voice broadcasting to help them generate leads. EPI has the BEST online product in the marketplace and its great that they continue to add value to it.

I think not. That would be illegal.
They might have expected you to pay that (or more) for voluntary product purchase, but not for joining. They would be closed down by the courts very quickly. The same with LLI. Joining costs $50. It's the voluntary product purchase that costs $1,500. It's all there in the small print but most people don't read it.
