Anyone ever heard of a company...

[walk066]

called ytb.com (yourtravelbiz)? A friend of mine got me looking into this company. It's an up and coming online travel agency that does something other online companies don't. You pay a $500.00 to get your own website and $49.95 per month to maintain the site.

There are two ways to make money. First being that you refer people to your site to buy travel. You aren't a travel agent, but more of a marketing person. All you have to do it tell people about your site. You earn 60% commission on everything booked on your site including your own travel. So basically you pay 40% total cost for your own travel. The second way is to refer people to buy their own website. It sounds like a pyramid, but it's not.

The reason you haven't heard of them is because the only form of advertise they do it through RTA which are people who buy their own websites. This keeps the cost low for them and why they can pay people commission's.

I went to a conference last night with one of the CEO's and I think I might have found a niche.

a buddy of mine is in this too, he's a smart guy, makes a couple hundred g's a year, but see's an opportunity. i think it's a scam, however, if you travel a lot it could be worth it even if you only get minimal sales from your site because you can use it to book your trips at very low rates and then right the expenses off as business expenses.

that said, it is pretty tough to make money with this thing unless you really market the shit out of it, you are after all competing with priceline, travelocity, etc.

Does a company who has been in business for over 6 years a scam? Don't you think people would have run the business to the ground if it was a scam. Would their stock keep rising if it was a scam?

My friend who already has a site, got his girlfriend to buy a hotel for a night and she called to confirm the reservation and they said yes she is booked for that night. So how is it a scam?

Also my friend who got me involved, his uncle owns many Nationwide insurance places in Florida and is a millionaire has done extensive research and is involved himself. He knows one of the guys who runs the company.

Explain to me how it's a scam?

So your buddy is involved in this company? If he's that smart, then why do you think it's a scam?

I do travel often and it would benefit myself. I also know people who travel a lot and this could benefit me. I'm not looking to be a millionaire from it, but to get cheap travel and make a few bucks.

Traveling has increased over the internet and will continue to do so. Why should I not try to get a piece of the pie? It's not like I'm putting in millions.

About their stock. It started out a .01 4 years ago and now is at $4.25. You think it's worth buying?

Cause I had my doubt if the cousin was receiving money. So I asked him to see a check.

I probably travel about 4 major trips a year and about 5 smaller trips a year.

I haven't bought into it yet, but from what I;ve seen with my eyes, it's legit. I mean my friends girl booked a hotel and they have her reservation. How is that a scam?

I'm just looking for cheaper travel and to make a few bucks, thats it.

I looked up the Better Business Bureau and they have had 12 complaints in 3 years, is that high? 6 of the cases were closed, whats that mean?
