Your Travel Biz, also known as YTB is both a Multi Level Marketing operation and a home-based business, two Internet business traditionally linked to ethically questionable business practices. Indeed while many people claim to have had profitable and positive relationships with this company, some disgruntled former participants in this business claim they have been victims of a YTB scam.
Let it be known that Multi Level Marketing operations, or MLM’s, are a legitimate business strategy. Unfortunately this business model works as a legal Pyramid Scheme, with an emphasis on obtaining new recruits in order to collect sign-up fees. In YTB’s case these fees include an on-going monthly fee to maintain the web site from which their travel packages are sold.
There are two red flags regarding YTB. The 1st is the pay-to-play aspect; we always find it suspicious when one has to pay their employer for their job. The 2nd is the nature of MLM’s; it’s possible to make money with them, but rare and difficult.
