A few days ago I was doing some online research on network marketing companies and discovered a very interesting website that listed some of the top incomes of MLM distributors in various companies.

I smiled and rolled my eyes as I read the numbers, it's no wonder people sometimes have a hard time believing incomes like this.

At the top of the list of big money earners, Brig Hart of MonaVie, making a hard to believe $980,000 a month! Can you say $12 Mil a year!

Waiter, I'd like he's having! One of those runaway success trains, holy warp drive, beam me up Scottie. I shook my head in disbelief. Can someone actually make that much money in MLM?

I had to pour myself a big drink of superjuice and think about this for a moment.

Yes Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore, this is the world of MLM and the size of your checks are magnified by the power of compound leverage. With an aggressive comp plan and a runaway company, the upside is unlimited.

Now before you start thinking that this is a paid endorsement for Mona Vie, the truth of the matter is I am not ready to sign up, and I will explain why later.

I guess that brings us to the main issue, what is happening with MonaVie?

Unless you have been camping in the backcountry for the last 5 years, you have probably heard of MonaVie. Acai berry juice.

Here is a quick summary:

1.MonaVie Product launched in 2005 by Monarch Health Sciences

2.MonaVie Inc incorporates and takes over product distribution

3.Recruits Brig Hart (Amway – Quixtar Diamond)

4.Grows from Zero to $50 million in a few years and then hits momemtum shooting to a Billion, all in about 5 years

5.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 the light at the end of the tunnel we are all searching for in MLM. It is that surge of growth as a company goes from small to large almost overnight that creates wealth. 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.

MonaVie had some real market magic working for it. The picked the right market at the right time, superjuices. These little magic berries in a bottle have helped generate at least 4 mega viral companies in the last 10 years.

Part of the magic is that superjuices are an emotional consumable product, about 60% of the people who use a superjuice actually feel a difference.

With a good superjucie, it was a natural for them to adopt a product first approach, they then used a highly successful type of opportunity meeting where they focused on product sampling and product testimonials.

Sometimes when you look back on a MLM success story, there seems to be some random occurence that brought some key leader to the table, in this case it was Brig Hart, an Amway Diamond.

When Brig decided to jump in with MonaVie, he pulled a pretty large group of distributors and leaders with a powerful team culture out of Amway to join him in a very early stage MonaVie. 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 with a good company and great product, there will always be money to be made, but the heady days of double digit monthly growth are in the past.

Most of the new growth will be international. Of course if you hit the momentum curve early and are already making big bucks, why worry about it.

Now if you are a new rep who just joined or if you did not hit your income goals in the first explosion, pushing ahead at this point is going to be much harder.

So what does the future hold 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 are new to the deal or still want to push your income higher, take a look upline at what the smartest top distributors you know are doing, and duplicate it. My guess is that they are probably going international.

MonaVie recently announced the opening of several new international markets and with their reputation for hot growth in the US, I think there will be some big money made in those markets.. Use the power of the internet to tap into international marketing, the internet is global, instant, and powerful. . If you gain mastery of resources like Google Adwords, Facebook marketing, or international resume database mining, then you can tap the international markets while sitting at home.

If you truly want to be successful, you need to utilize an efficient marketing system and plan on bringing in at least 6 to 8 distributors per month, and its the same for international. Too many people in network marketing base the success of their efforts on pure luck and explosive company growth to make it happen for them. Don't leave your success to chance.
