Casper: I have been abandoned by my mentor in my business, I have become so disenchanted with the whole affair that I am tempted to get out & cut my losses but the thing that hurts most is that I have spent over $500.00 just too get the business set up.

Brand yourself and make a unique lead capture page. That is what helped me more then anything. I received a generic website and then changed up somethings to make it more personal to me . Nothing slick but just personal. Those generic company websites can really make it hard for you to succeed. No one told me that before or showed me.

If you want to know if Emerald Passport is a scam, the answer is No!
If you want to know if it is a good business model that anyone, good with a good work ethic, could enjoy great success with, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!
However, like any real business, it does take effort to build, but the payoff is well worth it! It is not a get rich quick scheme, you will be building a real business that you can take pride in ownership. If you enjoy the idea of helping people, learning to grow personally and professionally and making a lot of money while doing it, then check out this business model completely, it might be for you!
As a Christian businessman, I went searching for a real business when I was told that my college administrator position was being eliminated due to budget cuts here in Texas. I went on-line searching for the right opportunity; boy did I get a quick education in cons, scams and rip-offs. But then I found a company who has been in business since 1990 and that impressed me.
I did my due diligence research and found that this company was filled with distributors with integrity. (I am sure not all are, just like any company) But for the most part, this group is filled with people in pursuit of excellence in life, and enjoys helping even a NEWEST person, just like I was, become successful here.
I made my decision to join forces with Emerald Passport in June 2006 and have found it to be one of the most rewarding business ventures that I have ever experienced! When looking for a business opportunity, you must do your research also...Remember
Any successful home base business opportunity must have at least 7 main components. Do your homework...
1) High Demand Products
2) Industry that is experiencing substantial growth
3) Highly Profitable Products (you don't want products that earn you only $10 or $20 per sale or even just a $100 or so, when you can earn $1,000 or more with the same efforts!
4) Find the RIGHT MENTOR, someone who is having success and cares about people!
5) Lots of training and support, FREE of charge, that is important!
6) Find out what their return policy is, that is very important to the integrity of your business.
7) Longevity in business-How long has the company been in business?
With Emerald Passport, when you own the products yourself, you can provide your potential customers with a FREE GUEST PASS to take the courses for an hour. TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT! How many other companies are that confident about the quality of their products. Returns are almost NON EXISTENT when you provide access without any monetary commitment.
I was a former college educator, so I found the quality of the educational products that Emerald Passport had to be outstanding. What I love the most is that when you pay $1295 for the entry level product known as "Passport to Prosperity, you currently get 9 of the finest Real Estate Investing, FOREX investing, Money Mastering, Children Success Course and many more, but inviting of it all, is the fact that you also will get every new course they bring out FREE! That was really impressive to see the integrity of the organization.
I know that when I lay my head down at night, that I have done right by my clients who purchase this product. They have a product that will INCREASE IN VALUE EVERY YEAR! I don't know of ANY OTHER COMPANY who offers that kind of value.
I have attended both of the advanced live conference products as well known as the "Wealth and Self" and the "Millionaires Club" conferences. I came away from both of them with tax saving information that will save me over $150,000, not to mention the wealth creation strategies that will help me to create millions with this Internet business.
I have been blessed to have built this Emerald Passport business to generate an average of $16,000-$17,000 per month income for us since the 6th month in the business!! The system in place helped me do this with only an initial investment of approximately $1500. Not a bad ROI (Return on Investment) business model I think ANYONE WOULD AGREE!
I learned everything I needed to be successful with this business from the amazing training calls that are provided FREE everyday in this business. I have been blessed to become one of the top earners and mentors in this business now, and thank God that he put this opportunity in my path and allowed me to put aside my natural human skepticism and took a chance with Emerald Passport. After all, that is what truly successful entrepreneurs do, find something that looks good and GO FOR IT! Otherwise, nothing in your life will change.
So overall, I would give this business opportunity an A+ in value and real opportunity to earn a fortune on the Internet. I now spend my life helping others to achieve the level of success that I have been blessed with here at Emerald Passport.
Call me for any further questions, I will give you honest, straight forward answers, no hype, no pressure, no kidding! Then you decide for yourself if starting you own business with Emerald Passport as your supplier is the right fit for you.

Great point.
Yes, I know when I first started building my business online that using the generic company websites seemed to be the way to go but later on I realized that is the worst thing you can do but I didn't know any better and thought the company who was the one having me help them make money as well as myself would have figured that all out for us.
Of course now I know that the company or program knows nothing about marketing and it's up to us to do that part many times without any real help from the company.

I agree you can make money with ANY opportunity as long as you put the hours in. Don't forget, no matter how savy you are at internet marketing, it ultimately comes down to people-skills. Most people will buy from people they like, trust....and really, most sales happen on the telephone. Personally, this opportunity wouldn't be for me as the product doesn't gel with me, but that's me. Have fun in your research.

Emerald Passport has closed it's doors due to the "economic downturn" as stated on the company web site. The real reason is lack of marketing leadership. No one at the top taught how to develop the marketing funnel for today's online business. The company management chased the leaders away in late 2006-2007 and continued to lose market share till present.
Another one bites the dust!

Check their website guys

I would suggest their demise had a lot to do with a Draconian "No Ineternet Marketing" Policy.
Emerald people look as if they will need a new home.

I recently joined Emerald Passport.
THEY HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED THEY'VE CLOSED....NO MORE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
No warning it was in trouble, no emails to distributors, no contact at all. Just posted an announcement on their web page.
Thanks a lot Emerald Passport. I'm $1,295 out of pocket & no business to run, & you didn't have the balls to tell me.
Do I sound angry??

I have posted this elsewhere but its relevant to what Rex McGuiness has just told us....sorry to hear this Rex and yes you SHOULD be angry! It didnt need to happen..online home based business has been steadily growing because of the recession.
For Emerald to be blaming the downturn is ridiculous.

You'll note they are citing the Glovbal Economic Downturn.
What nonsense...due to the Economic Downturn more people are turning to home based business than ever before, and more particularly Internet Based Home Business. This year 2009 we have seen a huge surge in home based business growth...and the internet and Marketing Systems have had the biggest impact.
I've said it before and Ill say it again Sorry ...but you'd have to be nuts to join an MLM / NetworkMarketing company with a "No-Online-Marketing" Policy.
I find there is no end of people coming online asking questions like "Help Im a Newbie" "How do I get Started". I'm seeing this more and more on forums, this one included, all over the place.
So with that said there is definitely a RECESSION hitting MLM/Network Marketing companies with a "No-Online-Marketing" Policy. Emerald Passport looks like one in a soon to be long line of companies going under, unless of course they implement a "No-No-Online-Marketing" Policy.
One thing is for sure though
There is NO RECESSION on the INTERNET

Sorry Rex, but it sounds typical of the company. There is a lot of good business to conduct online. Keep your chin up!
