Pyramid scheme. Cult. Fraudulent distributor statements. What else can I say bad about the program?
MonAvie Expert Review by Brian Garvin and Jeff West
MonAvie is a fairly new company. Started in January 2005 the company focuses on selling a specially formulated Acai Berry supplement juice. While it promotes the many health benefits of the MonAvie supplement juice, they also offer an opportunity to sell or market their products as an independent distributor through a multi level marketing program.
Keeping in mind that you can not own your own business with out spending money on it MonAvie starts you out for a mere $42. This will get you your business kit, which consists of a letter and DVDs to use at "Tasting" parties that you can hold to help sell the product. This sounds easy, but in order for you to make money you need to buy the product and be put on the auto-ship each month. Well that is the start anyway.
Even if you are on auto-ship you will not make money until you have two "legs" underneath you. These legs are really two other people that you bring on board to also buy MonAvie and they must be on auto-ship. Your mentor, the person that brought you to MonAvie or the person whose site you sign up on can place people under you to help you make money but you still will not make money until you personally put two people under you. You must personally create your two legs.

How are you paid from MonAvie? You can make a commission from buying the product yourself at wholesale and then sell it retail to other people. For this you set your own price and the difference between what you paid and what you charge is your pay. Then there is the compensation plan for being a distributor. This employs a binary compensation system.
The binary compensation plan of MonAvie requires you to balance the two legs that you have. What this means is that if one of your legs has a weekly volume of $20,000 and the other leg only has $200 in weekly volume your pay is $100. So in essence your MonAvie individual company sells over $20,000 in one week and you only make $100. Where does the rest of the 50% payout the company offers go? The rest goes to the top distributors with MonAvie.
This compensation plan may work for some people, but most people will have problems coping with the binary compensation plan that MonAvie offers.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH MONAVIE to be a distributor. While I like the product, the unfair way they pay their people is simply not right. Monavie in that regard is a SCAM and a RIPPOFF MONAVIE. I know this not just from my own experience but from those of others as well. The article above explains the unfair way that Monavie does business.

What a misrepresentation of the Monavie Opportunity. Monavie is a non flushing Binary you do not lose your volume it carries over to the next week, and the next week and so forth. I have never heard of a 20k left and a $200 right. Get Real! I encourage any one to see the opportunity in person and ask questions. Don’t make your decision based upon internet comments by people with there own agenda like Brian and Jeff!

I don’t think this article explains fully the monavie comp plan. I’m new to the company, but what I saw on paper is not the way they are explaining on this site.

I totally agree that the whole story of the comp plan is not explained right, it is totally watered down. The reality of the Monavie comp plan is that it has been so revolutionary industry wide that most new companies are adopting it and increasing areas of it where they see fit.
Monavie is a great opportunity to still be involved in and as one commenter has explained the volume continues to carry over from week to week. It is also impossible to have $200 in one of your legs as this would be your personal volume from your order being on autoship.

Hey,
Ive got a few friends who are doing very well in MonAvie and they have no previous experience in internet marketing. Thats all I really know about the plan…I have heard other good things but cant really comment more than this.

I wonder who put up this review of mona vie. Obviously they did not do their home work. The bottom line is that mona vie has a great product that has no peer. No big start up costs. It is $39 to get started. But until the end of 2009 its free. It is the best nutrtional product I have ever consumed and i have tried a lot of things. You see I am a Tae Kwon Do Master & Athlete, fitness instructor that works out 6 days a week at least 2 hours a day. The compensation plan is great. More people make more money quicker with mona vie more than any other MLM/ Network martketing company hands down. I don’t see these other companies on the Doctors show or Rachel Ray or on Various Fox News casts. It made Inc. 500 magazines fastest growing private companies. #1 in Food & Beverage #3 in Revenue & #18 overall. Where is Zrii, Magosteen,xango etc. Exactly i hope people really do there homework and get on board with a companie that is poised for major growth.
Have better health and make more money quicker with MONA VIE!!!

I agree this review is inadequate. There’s a reason why MonaVie is the fastest growing company in the Food & Beverage category! It’s an amazing product, with all the science backing up it’s claims. Just like any other supplement, individual experiences will vary. However, there is one thing that most, if not all, people experience with MonaVie – better sleep, more alert & clear-headedness, fewer aches and pains, and a general sense of well-being.
Those results, along with the scientific findings of the juice blends makes it truly the gift we need today. We are the sickest and most obese nation in the world. Something has to be done to stop the trainwreck, especially in light of our changing health system. The key is to stay as healthy as you can for as long as you can .. and it is possible to not be sick at all.
