    Very interesting however I did notice one error, you state that when someone buys a ticket on Travelocity that the airline pays Travelocity (or the travel agency) a commission. That used to be the case however about 1995 the airlines started cutting commission and by 2004 no domestic carrier pays a point of sale commission to travel agencies. That would mean that the potential earnings are even lower!

    I really don't agree with spending money ONLINE in order to gain money, and specially when it is one pyramid schemes, its really a waste of time and money, if your one of the starters of the pyramid then maybe you will earn money but now I bet with a lot of people informed about this schemes it will be soo hard to convince someone to join you on the pyramid, there's tons of ways to gain money online without spending our precious $500 bucks.. I'd rather play the lottery like what you said..

    Thanks for bringing this up, articles like these increase our awareness, but in my belief if its too good to be true... then it's far from coming true.

    It's interesting to see how quickly the furor over YTB has grown. The travel industry is solid, but you have to wonder about it.

    The best feature of YTB is that you can claim the money you spend on the initiation and monthly fees as a business expense. So, if you buy in at worse you’ll lose $500+monthly fees - your tax savings. In that regard, buying into YTB is less risky, especially if you find 6 others who can also lose $500 without blinking so that you thrift savings plan both eliminate the monthly fees and increase your odds of realizing profits. The YTB sales reps will also tell you that you can write off your travel expenses too, but I highly doubt that. I don’t think the IRS will consider your “travel business” very highly if all you did was buy a website.

    It flashes part of the rep's website for maybe a second or two and I didn't see YTB on that website the first go around. I just re-watched it and paused it at the time mark that you have mentioned, (because the website is only shown so quickly and quality of the video is rather poor) and I had to do that twice to see the fuzzy YTB letters up at the very top left corner of the page and it's just letters and no real logo (unless THAT is their logo). I am not by the way, familiar with their website, have never had a reason to view it and have never seen it til now actually.

    Great post, sound pieces of advice. In this hard times, we can't just invest our time, efforts and money blindly. Pyramid schemes such as these one should be clearly avoided, and the people behind them should pay for their deceptive, vile acts.
