YTB is in the news again. They always do a great job of putting a positive spin to distributors on negative news. Can they do it again.

On July 15, 2008, Mr. Scott Tomer, Chief Executive Officer of YTB International, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that the Company is contemplating the replacement of its referring travel agent (“RTA”) business model with the implementation of a franchise operating system, potentially in 2009.

From Rod Cook and his MLM Watchdog site, we get more news on YTB. I am just going to send you to his site and let him show your what is going on and let him comment. After all he is well respected in MLM and loves to bring information to the people. Rod exposes MLM companies doing wrong. He exposes scams. But he is not one sided. He backs up companies being unfairly attacked.

Here is the link to the MLM Watchdog YTB Reports.

Note that there are many reports here going back a long time. The top report was posted July 16, 2008.

By choosing a 5 Pillar company upfront you will almost always eliminate the kinds of news we are looking at today. Experienced MLM management with integrity would not be discussing the possibility of changing from a MLM business model to a franchise business model.

Experienced MLM management with integrity would not be dodging the heat as Rod puts it.

Maybe tomorrow we should talk about the upcoming YTB convention.

As gasoline prices continue to rise the MLM gasoline scams keep showing up on the seen.

One site that I use for information on scams and wrong doing in our industry is MLM WatchDog. Rod Cook, who owns this site, just happens to have been put into a position where he had to learn about the legal vs. illegal in regards to marketing of gasoline additives.

So rather than me tell you what to watch out for and why you should be running from all of them, let’s let Rod tell you at his site. The main site is MLM WatchDog.

There is a link on the main page titled, “MLM Gasoline Shame“. The link takes you to the first of five reports on the page. You can see all five links at the top right of the page.

If you are in an MLM company touting fuel savings or contemplating joining one as you watch gasoline prices soar, this is a must read for you.

The MLM WatchDog site will be listed in our links for your future reference.

And by the way. If you can’t tell from the site, Rod Cook is one of the good guys in MLM. He lead the push for the creation of The Distributors Rights Organization, designed to protect the rights of distributors. He probably knows more stories of people terminated in this industry than any one person.

Soak up some knowledge and save yourself some headaches.
