Donald Barrett is the front man for the ITV Ventures business opportunity. To start things off on the right foot, I will say that I do like Don. This is a guy that started out like the rest of us. He was living at home with dear old mom and delivering pizzas to make some extra cash. It was in that house that he started his first business.

One common theme that I find with all the good programs available today is actual work. I know that may not sound too good but it's true. First find a program that can work, at least according to the common majority. Then, get yourself prepared, buckle down and put your nose to the grinding stone for some good old fashioned labor and toil. This program or I should say business is no different. It is a real, breathing baby business in waiting to be cultivated and molded into something great.

ITV is a some what simple concept but with some really neat technology that makes it all work. There are some fees and monthly product order minimum requirements involved to do this. For starters I found a $49.95 start up fee for the In Home Agent. Next you have the $59.95 monthly access charge, no big deal. I believe in addition to this you will pay for each lead through another monthly charge of $29.95. Leads are funneled from television infomercials through there high tech. telephone integration system, and routed right to your home or office phone for you to take the calls for ordering of whatever product is being sold at that time. Keep in mind that there is also a $100 per month minimum product order level so if you are not going to pay for the ITV leads from the infomercials, you will most likely be buying $100 of product for your self every month. Hey running infomercials on T.V. is expensive.

If you are going to start a business you need to and must have some sort of an expense budget to pay for the things it takes to push your business through to success. The ITV business opportunity with Donald Barrett is no different. If you find yourself with less than I would say $500 to put into something, you may want to wait until you do. That goes for any business.

In closing, I have learned that the most important thing in making ITV work is the person that you sign up under. In other words look for someone with some real world experience in setting this up, and someone who has helped others to do the same. You don't want to be left all on your own with a program you will be working from home. If you do a little further searching you can most likely find someone that seems to sit well in the old stomach. I found a few that are even willing to offer up team members contact info as references. If they can offer that, and this sounds like the thing for you, I would say go for it, and become the next "IBO" (independent business owner.) 

In my opinion ITV is a good opportunity and Donald Barrett is a trustable and reputable guy.

Student Statement: Just read your overview of ITV - thanks for the posting.   Here's some additional fees you may want to add -
 
$299 sign up fee
Call credits costs are generally $10-$25 per call
 
When I was an IBO last year - basically, there was general consesus that one needed around $1k to play with to truly give this business a chance. 
 
Thanks,
