XanGo, MonaVie, FreeLife the "next" breakthroughs?

Read on for some interesting insights!

1.
Xango officially opened its doors in Malaysia & Singapore recently. However...

Xango Executive, Joe Morton, was himself quoted in Time Magazine:
9th October 2006

In the case of XanGo, "no published clinical trials show evidence that either the fruit or its juice is an effective treatment for arthritis, cancer or any other disorder in humans," writes Dr. Brent Bauer, the Mayo Clinic's alternative-medicine specialist. Mangosteens contain antioxidants called xanthones that have been shown to stop certain bacteria and fungi in lab tests. Yet independent-distributor sites claim the juice helps everything from Alzheimer's disease to kidney stones. XanGo's Morton concedes that wild claims are being made. "With 600,000 distributors, some stuff gets past our compliance [measures]," he says. "Overpromising and underdelivering is a problem in any company, from painting houses to selling cars."

2.
A Q&A article in Time Magazine with a Doctor talks about Acai, Goji, & Mangosteen.
4th September 2006

Mangosteen:
" The juice that is much hyped as a super health food is pressed from the purple rind, which has a lot of antioxidant pigments. I see no advantage over cheaper, more readily available berries and juices. "

Acai:
" The açai berry from brazil is high in antioxidants, but i'm always wary of "next big things." Familiar berries are just as good — and cheaper. "

Goji:
" Goji berries from the Himalayas are another "next big thing." They are rich in antioxidants but offer no special benefits that more familiar berries do not. "

The superfruits are marketed by: XanGo LLC, & Vemma / New Vision for the Mangosteen; eXfuze, 4Life Research LLC, MonaVie / Monarch Health Sciences, Fruta Vida International, & Amigo Health Labs Inc for the Acai; FreeLife International for the Goji / GoChi.

3.
In summary, the companies marketing the above 3 said supplement beverages employ out-dated compensation plans to reward its workers, aka distributors (perhaps except Vemma & MonaVie).

They also try to attract new independent distributors by employing intricate bonus rewards which 90% of the network marketing distributor population will never qualify for... ever!
These bonuses only serve to reward the high-flyers who work more than full-time on their business.

Their pay plans are only suitable for full-timers who can spend endless hours finding more & more & more consumers / sub-distributors to meet the high product volume requirements before they get rewarded for the work they do promoting the products.

We are not saying that the products don't work... but with the above findings it is not as bright a future for you in these companies as you might be led to think.

Especially since some of these use difficult compensation unsuitable for 90% of the marketing workforce who are essentially part-timers.



Do WITHOUT the juice/vitamin/cosmetic/household "stuff".
Find a niche & the market will come to you!

Hey there just came across your website and I figure I would leave my thoughts.

Great site by the way, you do great research.

However you should know that Vemma is now open in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia & Malaysia.

Vemma is not a uni-level, Vemma is a dual line comp plan.

The Mangosteen found in most grocery stores, the cheap stuff - is just that, cheap stuff.

I'm not going to tell you that you're going to be miraculously cured, but I will say just try it for yourself, and let your body tell you if it's worth it!

I've never felt better in my life, and Vemma has helped a lot my friends and family, so I would say try it, you have nothing to lose because it's 100% money back guaranteed.

Great blog, I'll be coming back! Visit my blog if you like, thanks!

Brad,
Surfed by your blog. Nice.

Our view with mangosteen (and goji) especially if you & your peers are trying to break into the market in the Far East --
is to not even bother trying.

Per capita income is way lower than in the western world, and there are the fruits (& berries) themselves which are widely available and traditionally consumed... for centuries.

Invest your network marketing efforts with something truly unique and marketable.
(We can discuss.)

Dual line comp plan? Binary?
It's a nice way to say it to minimise people making flawed assumptions (as explained in the link given -- see "Myths busted" section).
btw, if you read this Brad.
Email us a copy of your comp plan.

Best regards.
