If you’ve done recent searches on MLM startups or home-based business opportunities, you’ve probably come across the TVI Express opportunity. TVI Express is a fairly new company, but it has been getting a lot of buzz lately in network marketing and MLM circles. What I’m going to do with this review is separate the hype from the facts so you can decide if TVI Express will be an instant opportunity or a company that will be able to maintain its current success and popularity.
Is TVI Express a pyramid scheme? I thought I’d start with this to start the review, because I know it’s one of the top questions on many people’s minds.
First, let’s define what a “pyramid scheme” is. A pyramid scheme is a business model that involves recruiting people into a supposed opportunity through an exchange of money without any product or service being delivered.
The service that TVI Express offers is access to a dynamic travel membership. Membership owners can book flights, cars, hotels and cruises at discounted prices. Members also get a 6-day, 7-night vacation to the destination of their choice, including a free return flight for one when they join. So from this aspect, I feel comfortable saying that this is not some kind of pyramid scheme or cash gift program.
About the company TVI Express is a UK based company that has been doing business globally in countries in Europe and Asia, and recently introduced to the US and Canada. In their first 6 months they have skyrocketed to almost 200,000 members which is unprecedented in the mlm industry.
The Business Opportunity To join TVI and start your business opportunity, please send your payment of $250, actually your costs will be close to $300 if you are in the US due to credit card fees, wire transfer and transfer fees. change. Once you submit your payment, you will receive an official website along with a back office for you to manage and organize your business. There you will find your access to the travel membership site and you will be able to access your vacation for free. There are no monthly fees involved with the company, which is definitely a plus, and pretty much makes the business opportunity a risk free venture, worst case scenario, you decide the business isn’t for you and leave after having paid $300 for a 7 day vacation with a free round trip flight.
The business opportunity is based on hiring 2 people for the business, that’s all. Once you become a TVI distributor, you are placed on the travelers board. Once you leave the traveler’s plate, you are paid $500, $250 in cash and $250 in an eVoucher. You are then placed on the Express board, when you exit the Express board you are paid $10,000 in cash and $5000 in an eVoucher. When the Express board is done cycling, it is placed on another Express board and the process is repeated.
My opinion When I first heard about TVI Express I didn’t really pay attention to it as I am a network marketer and hear about startups and so called pre-launch opportunities every day. As the company began to grow, I took a closer look. Their business model is unlike any other company I’ve seen in the industry, which is good and bad. It’s good because it makes them unique from all the other opportunities out there, however when a company has such a different business structure it can be met with a lot of skepticism. Ultimately, I think TVI Express will do a lot for their revolutionary compensation plan and since it revolves around each distributor only having to hire 2 people, I anticipate many people will find success in this business, even without prior experience in marketing.
