Check out my updated video review of World Ventures below.
In the video, I also teach how you can make money with World Ventures or with any other company by following the proven 4-step strategy.
Today we are going to take a closer look at World Ventures as a money-making opportunity. The company and their representatives advertise it as a wonderful opportunity to make money while living the life of your dreams. You could travel all around and earn money at the same time. Is World Ventures a Scam or are they talking the truth?
Is it really possible to earn big amounts of money while traveling? Give me 1-2 minutes to let you explain the answer to that question.

What Is World Ventures?
World Ventures is a multi-level marketing program that has been founded already in 2005 by Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcure. It has been spread to around 30 different countries and there are more than 120,000 representatives all around the world. So, we are talking about a very big thing.
They are selling travel packages that you could then sell forward to make money. Their slogan is, “Make a living… Living!” It means that you don’t need to compromise your life while working for money. Studies show that 80% of Americans don’t like their job. Many of them live for the weekend or wait that they could retire. Then the life would start for them. But is that kind of life worth it? I don’t think so.
That’s why World Ventures sound like an interesting opportunity. But does it really work?
How Does World Venture Work?
Let’s keep things simple here.
1.You join their program and pay $99 one-time fee or $10,99 monthly payment.
2.You start selling their products to other people and earn commissions.
3.If you make at least 4 sales within 30 days, you can continue. If you failed to get 4 sales, you will be kicked out.
4.Repeat the process. BUT
5.The real money is made when you recruit new people to join. Then you will earn commissions from your downlines and you can earn passive income. It means that then you could even work when you are not working.
Okay, the process is very simple but did you know that probably 99% of people fail to earn money with this opportunity? Let’s dig down deeper.
Here is a video that explains thoroughly their compensation plan.
WARNING: The video may include some marketing for World Ventures. Be careful but take the information that you need.
World Ventures Products
In order to succeed with World Ventures, you need to SELL. Okay, you can call it also helping people but I think it’s more like selling. Why? Because products that they provide are not something that I would probably like to recommend for somebody.
They have 3 different kinds of memberships: Their price varies between $30-$99/month. There is also a possibility to pay a higher one-time fee to get in.
They offer benefits for having a membership and discounts for trips and vacations. Then you can earn points for each trip and the more points you have, the more benefits you will get.
Here is one example of their trips. It’s called Discover Paris, the City of Love:
As you can see, with their membership, you will get $475 savings. However, I still don’t think it would be very cheap. I was once traveling in Paris for one month. All of my costs were around $890 including return flights from Finland and a weekend trip to Belgium. Maybe you should consider a “travel agent Roope” instead of World Ventures! 😉
But for sure this Paris trip, for example, can be appealing for many people. That’s why there is a real opportunity to earn money by selling their products. But let me know what will happen to 99% of people who join World Ventures.
99% of World Venture Members Don’t Earn Money Because…
There are thousands of MLM-programs in the world. Herbalife, Mary Kay, Thirty-One Gifts, ACN and so on.
The cold fact is that much more than 90% of those who join will never make profits of those systems. Let me know the main reasons:
1.You need to pay money to join the system. This is natural but sometimes you could earn money without paying membership fees on MLMs. For example, with this wonderful opportunity.
2.You have to reach their targets. If you don’t make enough sales in the required time, you will be kicked out. That forces many people to buy products themselves to maintain in the system.
3.Products are overpriced. This makes it hard for two reasons: A. People don’t like buying overpriced MLM-products and B. Who would like to sell overpriced products?
4.It requires lots of persistence and hard work to succeed. Anything worthwhile in life requires hard work and effort. But I know that many people just want to have a comfortable paycheck coming for their work. In most 9-5 jobs you can just easily earn some money that makes you the living. But is it enough to fulfill your purpose in life?
5.The system is good if you joined in the beginning but now it may be too late. As we know, the once who join the pyramid first will earn the most of the money. But those who join the last will pay for other people’s dreams.
These are just some reasons why almost all people fail in MLMs. I am sure that you can succeed with them but it really requires hard work. I am sure that this program would help you to succeed.
World Ventures Popularity
Many MLMs come… And then they go. But World Ventures has already been there for more than 12 years. But as you can see in Google Trends in the picture below, its popularity is going down.
World Ventures Popularity reached its peak in March 2015 when lots of people were interested in joining their program. I don’t know if their system will totally disappear or will it make a strong comeback. Who knows?
Is It Possible to Make Money While Traveling the World?
Many people are dreaming of the lifestyle that would allow them to live wherever they want, work whenever they want and still earn a good amount of income at the same time. It would give lots of freedom for life. Actually, I am on my way to that lifestyle.
I know tens of people who are living so-called “laptop lifestyle”. They make their living online and spend the rest of the day in the way to want. Most of them are running their online business on autopilot. It means that they need to work anymore 30 minutes or less per day to keep things running and money flows to their bank account.
Now we are not talking about $100/month but $10,000/month. In the beginning, it requires much more work than 30 minutes per day but you have established your business, then things become much easier. I had a walk today with my friend and when I came home, I had made money with my online business. It’s a great feeling.
If you want to learn how you could achieve that “laptop lifestyle” I recommend taking a closer look at this step-by-step training.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- They give an option for the 9-5 lifestyle
- Their trips look very luxurious
Cons:
- Their products are overpriced in my opinion
- It’s quite challenging to make money with this kind of opportunity
- You need to pay a fee for joining
- Most people spend much more money on travels than actually make money from them
Conclusion – Is World Ventures a Scam?
No, it’s not a scam. They have already been around for more than 12 years and still are there. Their popularity is going down little by little but I haven’t seen signs of vanishing totally. Of course, the competition on travel business is very tough today.
If you would be interested in making good money while traveling the world, I recommend taking a look at Wealthy Affiliate. They offer 20 interactive video lessons for free. You have nothing to lose but everything to win. What do you think?

It’s really too bad that it’s not as easy as they’d like you to think it is.
I love to travel and that’s the focus of my blog. I’m hoping I can monetize it with credit card affiliate links so that I can one day have the travel the world lifestyle. I’ve been getting a bit discouraged though because the more I research credit card affiliate programs, the more it seems that waves already passed. Do you know anything about them that could point me in the right direction?
Hi Dustin,
It’s a great goal to achieve “the travel the world lifestyle”. I think it has become a new American dream.
I don’t have experience of credit card affiliate programs but in my experience you can succeed in almost in any niche if you work hard enough.
I was also very discouraged at some point with make money online niche because I thought that there is so much competition. I also thought that I should have started 5-10 years ago.
But there is always an opportunity. If you really provide valuable content on credit cards and you like it, stick to it. Keep on going and it will pay off. Everyone encounters failures but that’s the part of success.
If you feel that you don’t enjoy that niche enough, you may also consider taking a break and moving to another niche. But don’t change the niche too often. Take one, succeed there and then apply the same methods to other niches.

Hi Rebekah,
For the pop-up window I am using Hellobar. They have awesome tools to increase your conversions and online income. Some people inside Wealthy Affiliate introduced that tool to me in the past.
I am also very happy that you enjoyed using WA. I rarely hear anything negative about WA because it’s probably the best online marketing training on the Internet. In addition, they offer lots of tools that help you to succeed.
Anyone can use their service for free and a premium account is very affordable as well.

I have heard of World Ventures from a friend who wanted to join. I totally agree with you about it being a pyramid. With the economy the way it is today, this would be a tough sell. Most people can’t afford to take a vacation, so the probability of having to purchase your own products goes up right there. There has got to be another way to make money because passive income takes work to obtain. Do you have any suggestions?
I also wanted to add the video makes World Ventures seem easy, but in fact, it’s selling. Selling a product that in most instances aren’t affordable. I’m looking forward to your suggestion. Best Wishes!
Hi Deborah,
if you would like to learn how to make passive income online, I recommend taking a closer look at Wealthy Affiliate.
If you go through their step-by-step training, you will for sure learn to earn passive income online. Then put everything what you have learned powerfully into action.
I think it’s very interesting when you see that each and every month your passive income grows. But remember that it requires lots of hard work and patience.
Cheers,
Roope
