I look at Network Marketing this way if you were broke. And you invested in a company started your own business for $500. Then your broke friend started her company. Then she got more broke friends to join the company. As I see it nobody will be broke after the first 12 people.So here you have it, Danielle Mangum, from Waldorf, MD (I am disappointed she lives in my state) is recruiting broke people for YTB. She wants to find more broke people and con them out of $500 and $49.95 a month. I have to say that I am pretty sure that Mr. YTB does not even endorse this.
So why people can't see this it is beyond me. Everybody is struggling out there right now but they won't try. My company has no inventory it is on a computer how easy is that.
Read my blog and make sure you watch this video called the Power of One it is awesome.
And all it takes is one broke friend a month. Come on the money is right there for you. See it believe it I have seen it with some friends that is why I signed up as a broke friend. And I am signing up more broke friends.
NOTE: The author has updated the original post. Can anyone translate for me? It is funny that she tells the story of a success story in YTB (one of the few) and does not even know Juliette's name. She also must be unaware of the the controversy surrounding why JSJ was "homeless". Someone ought to set her straight!
With all the time she spends on her blog, she would be much further ahead to spend her money and effort on some adult education classes.
ReplyDeleteGod bless her but I agree her blogging is not so good.
ReplyDeleteSomeone pointed this out to me...talk about a conflict of interest. A God fearin' Christian woman of faith yet she goes to companies called "suck My Lolly" and "Deviant Art" for her blog template.
ReplyDeleteScroll to the bottom and see for yourself!

If she's broke and everyone she knows is broke too, then I think it's safe to assume that none of them will be traveling any time soon isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOH wait! It's about recruiting!!
As a former educator, I try not to ridicule another's ignorance, but see it as a chance to help them learn something. Danielle, though, is another story. She seems to revel in her ignorance. She and I have been having an e-mail discussion, and it is truly evident in her responses that she has absolutly no desire to not only not learn about the travel industry, but to not learn anything about ytb. She has no understanding of how their compensation plan works, and when I tried to show her where her error was, she didn't want to even begin to understand it. She is under the impression that if someone books a package through her that has a total cost of $3500, her commission on it is going to be $1750.
ReplyDeleteI've gone beyond having any sympathy for this woman, having tried to help her, even though I disagree with her choice of companies. At this point, when ytb fails, this is one that I'm hoping fails hard as well. A very cruel thing to hope for, but some people are beyond hope.
But this is exactly the target market they seem to prey on. The gullible and broke. Whats even worse is if she honestly thinks that shes going to get $1750 on that package, shes going to be very disappointed when the check actually comes. I think alot of people are mis-led on this fact. I've seen the 60% commission thing on alot of sites, many times it doesn't state that its 60% of the commission..just 60% commission. That's wrong. What's even worse is that they are so blinded by what they are told, they don't want to hear any rhyme or reason. But what do we know, we've only been in the industry for how long?
ReplyDeleteAnd $1750 isn't even 60% of $3500 (it's 50%). ;-)
ReplyDeleteif you continue to stalk me I will report you to the cyber police and that is no joke. I have made copies of this blog to turn into the police so erase if you want too. Use my name or county or town I live in again and it is on. So the next time I look at this blog in one hour all the post about me better be gone or I am calling the police tommorrow and report you as a threat.
ReplyDeleteI am not stalking you Danielle. You have a public blog that I have read and commented upon at my own blog. I have not emailed you,I have not commented on your blog, I have not called you, I have never met or seen you. So how is it that I am stalking you?
ReplyDeleteAs to knowing your name and where you live, well that is all on your website. Your name is the URL of the blog--not the smartest move if you ask me. You talk about the recruiting meeting at the Comfort Inn in Waldorf. Your public profile says you live in Maryland. Let's see, your YTB recruiting site has a phone number.
So with you putting out all the personal info, it is pretty easy for someone to find you. I am not really interested and would not waste my time, but your blog and the ignorant posts and unintelligible ramblings are amusing and I believe the readers of this blog appreciate it.
You see, one of the points I am trying to make is that the majority of the folks associated with YTB are indeed unprofessional. With your blog--I rest my case!
just a heads up this crazy broad has a thread up on you over at the blog catalog discussion boards: http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/blog-staker
ReplyDeleteYa know---she could at least be honest. All of the "private info" is on her blog. SO who is divulging it?
ReplyDeleteAnd she should at least link to my blog.
Thanks to Coleman again: LOL Too Funny!
I am going to see what I can do about allowing people to delete their posts. But I wanted people to see this one that was deleted by Traveling Mom:
ReplyDeleteTraveling Mom has left a new comment on your post "YTB's Latest Recruiting Program":
if you think you are professional than i am still laughing you are a child and what you are doing to your own industry is childish
and all your croonies have problems too and all ytb people stay off his blog. And john I know who you are to last name and all. I am not afraid of you my husband is 6 feet 4 and 300 pounds so don't play me.
Well, it certainly does not take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out who I am. I do not hide behind names like "Traveling Dad" and all that. Why do you think I am trying to "scare" you that you feel I need to know about your husband. That was not a threat was it?
If you are on the up and up, there is nothing to be scared about. I have never contacted you--no desire. I am just merely pointing out your misinformation and your lack of any remedial knowledge of the English language.
By the way 6'4 300# does not scare me.
