Monavie Review - Any Hope For The Newbie?
I was involved in some MLM research the other day and I ended up at a website that showcased the top 500 earners in the MLM marketplace today.
Wow! I was awestruck and humbled and then really excited that I was in an industry where this could even happen.
Top earner on the list Brig Hart of MonaVie at a heart stopping $980,000 a month! That’s about $12 Mil a year!
Wow, I want one! One of those runaway success trains, holy warp drive, beam me up Scottie. Can this be true? Can someone actually make that much money in MLM?
I had to pour myself a stiff drink of superjuice and ponder this for a moment.
Yes Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore, this is the world of MLM where your income is only a function of the size of the network you build. With an aggressive comp plan and a runaway company, the sky’s the limit.
Now before you start thinking that this is a paid endorsement for Mona Vie, I have to tell you I would never join them, but more on that later.
That brings us to the question at hand here, what is happening with Mona Vie?
Unless you have been camping in the backcountry for the last 5 years, you have probably heard of MonaVie. You know, the company that has the sexy purple wine bottle that holds the revered Acai berry juice.
Here is a quick Play by Play scorecard for you:
- MonaVie Product launched in 2005 by Monarch Health Sciences
- MonaVie Inc incorporates and takes over product distribution
- Recruits Brig Hart (Amway – Quixtar Diamond)
- Grows from Zero to $50 million in a few years and then goes vertical to a Billion, all in about 5 years
- Money-Money-Money
Mona Vie is a textbook example of what I would call Mega-Viral growth. The runaway viral growth in a network marketing company that hits a home run, is what we are all looking for in this industry. It is that growth that creates fortunes in a heartbeat. It is the one thing that keeps most of us in the industry year after year even if you have yet to hit a home run.
Mona Vie had some real market magic working for it. For starters they were in a great market segment, superjuices. These little magic berries in a bottle have helped generate at least 4 mega viral companies in the last 10 years.
Superjuices have the advantage of being one of the few truly emotional consumable nutritional products out there.
Mona Vie took advantage of this and used a product driven duplication mode to power growth, using “Tasting Parties” as the mainstay of their marketing effort.
Then enter the random effect of Brig Hart an Amway Diamond joining the company and you complete the picture.
When he joined Mona Vie, he also brought a team of probably several hundred highly trained Amway distributors with a powerful team culture into a perfectly positioned superjuice company. The rest is history, welcome to the billion dollar club.
Now had I been open to a change a few years ago, I would have joined them, however today at a billion I believe they are at the top of their game in the US market.
Network marketing companies in the US who hit the mark and become a super-viral tend to plateau once they hit about a Billion in volume. Now there is still money to be made of course, but it’s no longer the heady go-go days of momentum where your checks go up 35% a month.
Most of the new growth will be international. Now if you are already locked in at the right level which means you joined early, you have it made.
For the “Newbe” however, joining at this point can be an uphill battle.
So what is on the horizon for MonaVie? I think they will continue to do well and be a long term powerhouse but let’s face it you can only defy the laws of gravity for so long. If you recently joined, take a tip from what your upline is probably doing, go international.
MonaVie is opening a number of new international markets and there is where the new money will be made. You can successfully tap them by incorporating online marketing into your business plan. Then you can tap the international markets while sitting at home. If you master resources like Google Adwords, Facebook marketing, or international resume database mining, then you can tap the international markets while sitting at home.
No matter what MLM you are with, it's critically important that you learn how to market properly. Don’t base the success of your business on pure luck and company momentum to make it happen for you. Take the time to learn how to successfully market your business and don't leave your success to chance.
