It is amazing to me that a full decade after E’ola products shut its doors, I continue to get a lot of traffic looking for AMP II and Liqui-thin products that provide the same energy, health and weight loss effects that were present in the former St. George, Utah-based nutritional company.

Old Advertisement for E'ola International Diet Drops

A former top distributor for E’ola distributor set out to try and recreate the “effects” of the original E’ola diet drops products in a new company called XIMO. From a product user perspective XIMO provides good energy at a low cost.

I was a XIMO Health distributor for two years and had the privilege of being recognized as a “Top Distributor” for many months during that time. I built a nice sized group and we launched a new energy and weight-loss product, but the massive explosion of people using the product that we thought was going to occur never did. When I heard about the Body By Vi revolution, I had to try it.

Not since E’ola International has there been something that is growing and sweeping across the nation as the Body By Vi Challenge from Visalus Sciences!

This 90-day weight loss challenge gives participants a healthy way to lose weight and improve their health as well as a chance to win thousands of dollars in cash, vacations and prizes! Each year Visalus gives away more than $10 Million in cash and prizes – that’s an incredible amount of money up for grabs in this fun and effective health and fitness challenge.

See why 67,000 people joined the Body By Vi Challenge last month here:

How does a 65% payout compensation plan from a network marketing company that is available in locations across the globe sound? How about it being in a debt-free company whose owner claims to only take a tiny $5,000 annual salary?

SISEL owner Tom Mower takes the hand of the Dali Lama. SISEL is an internationally available network marketing company.

These particulars warrant a closer look, but upon deeper inspection, the SISEL International network marketing company appears to be big on SISEL without a lot of “steak.”

Pronounced “sizzle,” the Switzerland based nutritional network marketing company with a U.S.-based sales force arm located in Utah, tries to recapture the nutritional market-share that was once dominated by SISEL International owner Tom Mower’s former network marketing company success NEWAYS.

I sat through the SISEL’s corporate presentation in its entirety as well as thoroughly studied the compensation plan document and the companies corporate website in preparation for this review.

On the outset, the SISEL opportunity presentation, though attractive in appearance, is beyond boring in this writer’s opinion. For a company that derives its name from the “sizzle call,” the presentation is short on sizzle in execution. The corporate web presentation felt like a 21st century impersonation of a 1981 Amway hotel meeting.

The host of the presentation drones and the colors and animation were dull. In today’s  short-attention span society, sending people to this presentation would seem futile to this networker as they likely never would make it past the first 3 minutes let alone the whole 20 minute presentation. Worst of all, despite the boring colors and monotone presenter, there was a glaring typo toward the end of the presentation. This was corporate produced and there is no excuse for those typos on big-picture marketing materials such as the corporate webinar.

The highlight of the presentation for me was SISEL’s claim that each rep in their business earns roughly $16-21 per distributor in their organization. They claim that in competing companies most distributors earn about $6 per rep. This perked up my ears as tripling my income just by promoting their products seemed like something worth listening to despite the presentation reminding me of an undergraduate chemistry class.

In this presentation, the company promotes their “Triangle of Life” a combination of three nutritional beverages that are taken each day. I found it almost comical that SISEL chose a pyramid to model their entire marketing philosophy on. In today’s network marketing minefield where the first objection a distributor has to overcome is the “pyramid” objection, the SISEL presentation places three bottles of juice in the shape of a pyramid and proceeds to tell prospects that they can get rich and possibly live to be 200 years old by taking their products.

SISEL’s three juice products are Eternity (Resveratrol supplement), FuCoyDon (a Limu Moi supplement) and SpectraMaxx (an antioxidant functional beverage).

I found many of SISEL’s product claims to be so far fetched that I could not possibly feel comfortable repeating them to prospective customers and distributors if I were a SISEL rep.

The SISEL presentation claimed that a 60 year old person who started the triangle of life could feasibly live to be 110 years old as a result of taking all three products.

According to SISEL, FuCoyDon will take your immune system to that of a new born baby … but I thought new born babies were very susceptible to illness because their immune systems had yet to be fully developed?

Their third functional beverage SpectaMaxx also had another new born baby claim; this time it was that the product was effective in resetting oxidative stress to newborn baby levels. Now, I’m not sure how you measure oxidative stress levels, but the whole thing seems so silly to me. I just don’t see it happening and there’s no proof that it ever could.

Furthermore, the positioning of “Harvard Research” on the same page as their product does not sit well with me. (The Harvard University research was done on Resveratrol itself not any actual SISEL product.) Ethics is highly important to me and I don’t like when companies conveniently try to infer that they have been researched by university scientists when they have not. Note that this has caused some serious legal issues with companies in the past who were attempting the same deceptive marketing practices.

Perhaps they have discovered the fountain of youth, but I can only imagine someone standing in front of a crowded hotel room telling a bunch of old people that they’ll live to be 200 if they get on autoship. Can you say 20/20 television expose?

When my friend asked me to look into SISEL as a home business opportunity she was very impressed with Tom Mower the company owner. She accepted the claims that the man was a billionaire – though I did not find him on the list of Forbes billionaires. (Not to say that he is not, because he very well may be and he certainly has made more money than I have) but what is also important is that the immensely successful Tom Mower does not come without some baggage.

Tom Mower was sentenced to 33 months and served 18 months in prison for tax evasion while he was the owner of NEWAYS. Does this mean that Tom Mower is unethical or a true cheat? Not necessarily. Tom was doing business in multiple countries and oftentimes they all have different rules in terms of taxes and reporting of incomes. SISEL is based out of Switzerland with expansion into the U.S. instead of the other way around, so his tax issues are likely not to occur again. However, his past adds one more hiccup in overcoming objections after a prospective distributor does a cursory google search. With that said, Tom Mower has been successful across the globe in creating network marketing companies, so no reason to think he cannot do it again.

On the compensation plan side, SISEL claims that its reps make three times the average earnings per rep, but given that their focus is getting new customers and representatives on the “triangle of life” that would mean three different juices on autoship. If a network marketing distributor in any company could triple their sales per customer, they would be hitting that $16-21 mark that SISEL claims as well.

The SISEL compensation plan PDF was highly confusing to me. It is certainly not something that could be learned quickly. It appears to have lots of unilevel compensation plan characteristics, but I really was confused. If you asked me how to make $1,000 a month in this compensation plan, I have no idea how many people you would need to be purchasing products to do that. In short, it looks complicated. They claim a 65% payout – which is impressive. Not sure exactly how that is distributed among the downline genealogy, but if it is indeed 65% that is a good percentage.

Basically, my findings are, I could not endorse SISEL as my network marketing company. Not only was the presentation highly boring  much of the science is bunk to me and the marketing is questionable.

At its worst, the SISEL opportunity could be read as: “Our owner went to prison for being a cheat, buy my pyramid juice and live to be 200 year old and get rich.”

At best, it’s another nutritional network marketing company with a boring presentation, confusing compensation plan and high autoship pricing.

If you have deep contacts in the international markets that SISEL operates in you may have a great shot in building a large downline. Given that its top distributors appear to be in Japan, SISEL may not be the best opportunity to a U.S.-based distributor.

As always, this is my opinion. There are and will continue to be some people who make an incredible amount of money with SISEL International. It very well may have terrific life changing products that pay handsome commissions, but for me, SISEL lacks the “steak” I would want to stand behind it as an income source. There are honest and ethical distributors at SISEL and my review of this company is not an indictment on these distributors’ character for getting involved with it.

Logo of new MLM Sevenpoint2

If you’re searching for the next biggest thing, a Newport, California-based prelaunch network marketing company called Sevenpoint2 may have all the components for massive growth over the coming years.

Since promotion of the products should be the first and foremost important thing in deciding the merits of a new network marketing company, we’ll take a look at those first.

Sevenpoint2’s mission according to their corporate website is simply “to have one million people consuming and enjoying the health benefits of our products.“  The company’s name refers to the 7.2ph level that they say is optimum for ideal health and wellness and their products are all alkaline-based to best assist you in achieving that 7.2ph factor.

Sevenpoint 2 Shake, Sevenpoint 2 Greens, Sevenpoint2 Alkaline Booster and Sevenpoint2 Coffee Drops are their four initial offerings designed to assist you in a whole-body alkaline transformation. Being a coffee lover, but knowing its high acidity make-up, I think the Coffee Drops have great potential and the other staple products such as an alkaline meal-replacement shake will be strong consumable products for them.

The company’s website videos for each product that explain exactly what they are intended to do, with their product formulator, Dr. Howard Cohn, serving as the subject matter-expert. Dr. Cohn is a chiropractor with much experience in the health and wellness arena and his resume listed on the corporate site is impressive.

Another impressive member of the corporate team is Jason Boreyko – the brother of B.K. Boreyko, of Vemma MLM fame, and a second generation network marketer. Jason served as co-founder of New Vision International – a network marketing company that generated $1 billion in sales over seven years.

Jason has had some not so spectacular stints in network marketing companies also, but he’s also been incredibly successful overall. I believe that this prelaunch network marketing company has much potential given his experience in branding and promotion as well as his experience building large downlines as distributor himself.

The Sevenpoint2 compensation plan is a direct rip of the Visalus Sciences hybrid unilevel. There’s no getting around it – put the two side by side and they look almost identical. Even the marketing program aims to capture the “lightning in a bottle” that Visalus has generated over the course of the last year. (Visalus Sciences has had 600+% total volume growth as well as two straight years of double digit growth in people starting their 90-Day Body By Vi Challenge.)

Given the success that the Body By Vi Challenge has had, Sevenpoint2 is launching a 72-day Alkaline Weight Loss Challenge.  The “get 3 and yours is free” marketing promotion that has also been instrumental in the Body By Vi Challenge has also been lifted by Sevenpoint2.

Does launching a similar product with almost an exact copy-cat payplan and promotion strategy guarantee success? Not always, but it was successfully done with MLM juice companies like Xango, Monavie and Zrii who all tried to copy Tahitian Noni and one another over the past 5-6 years. There were still fortunes made in all of those companies despite the fact that the compensation plans were similar and the products were only slightly different. This tells me that there is room for growth and the alkaline angle that Sevenpoint2 is taking helps them define their niche.

Overall, of the most recent prelaunch network marketing companies of 2011 and last few years, Sevenpoint2 appears to be one of the most well put together. Though personally if I were going to try to join a copy-cat type program, I might just stick with the original in Visalus Science’s Body By Vi Challenge, but some people still think that getting in early is where it’s at. There is no doubt that some people will join Sevenpoint2 and earn very large passive incomes selling their products.

As always though, just because the Sevenpoint2 network marketing company is solid and top networkers will make hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn’t mean you’re going to make much money at all or be as successful as you have the potential to be. Enrolling with a strong upline leader is oftentimes the most important aspect of joining a network marketing company, so keep that in mind should you decide to join.

If you would like to request more information about the Sevenpoint2 prelaunch MLM, I can put you in touch with one of my Crushyourdayjob.com-endorsed network marketing leaders if you’ll fill out the form below. To be an endorsed network marketing leader, they must have a track record of ethics and have the heart of a teacher and mentor which ultimately is what is required of all distributors to be successful in building long-term residual income in a home based business opportunity.

Picture this – combine the convenience of photo sharing websites where you can upload, edit and create unique fun images with the ability to print and send your creation anywhere in the country while building a residual income. Sound promising? A recent announcement from the founders of a new network marketing company launching in the fall of 2011 called Pixingo aims to do exactly that.

My early read on this company – once known as LifeShare – is that it aims to cash in on the success of Kody Bateman’s Send Out Cards network marketing company with competing products and lucrative unilevel compensation plan.

The Pixingo MLM company is anticipated to launch in November of 2011 – just in time for the Christmas holidays. It has unique name and cute cubic Penguin for a logo – giving it a very fresh “Twitter-esque” persona. Personally, I’m not exactly sure why the change from LifeShare to Pixingo except for maybe that they plan to focus less on the “card sharing” copy-cat persona that LifeShare seemed to exude. Perhaps this new hip branding and relaunch with a fairer unilevel compensation plan will be more focused on pictures and picture sharing and result in distributor success.

It is this reviewer’s opinion that they would do well to focus on a different niche than piggyback Send Out Cards. Given SOC’s new introductory $9 plan, I can’t see a new start up being able to compete as well as if they were the only company doing straight photosharing.

I’m not much of a name dropper, but it’s been my experience that in the network marketing sub-culture there is a never-ending game of one-uppance when it comes to proving which home based business is the best. For good or bad, the quest for proximity to these “heavy hitters” often causes the mediocre network marketer to jump ship and chase after the next big fish who signs on early to a new company. One of the most recent examples – and for good reason – is the annoucement of master trainer Tim Sales becoming distributor in a new company called Ariix (pronounced “arr-ehx”).

A dear friend of mine approached me about the Ariix Home Based Business and asked for my opinion on it and rather than just keeping it to myself, I’ve decided to share it here on my blog.

One of the first things that sticks out to me about this company is the corporate created marketing is slick. Though probably not the most compatible in all browsers, the Ariix MLM website looks incredible. This is nothing to write off. In today’s day and age, a network marketing company’s website gives the first impression of what the company is made of. And my first impression (correct or incorrect) is that Ariix is made of money.

The second aspect of the Ariix MLM that I find incredibly positive is the training and the endorsement of master MLM trainer Tim Sales. There’s no reason to lay out all of Tim’s accomplishments, but the man is a fabulous trainer and his techniques and training have led to not only himself earning millions, but likely created many millionaires using his approach as well. The fact that Tim Sales was “coming out of retirement” for the Ariix launch is no doubt creating some buzz in the industry.

As of the time of this writing, Ariix has 5 products – rejuveniix, vitamins, minerals, omega-Q, and vinali. I have not tried the products, but I have no doubt that they likely do as they claim. I am no herbalist nor a physician, so I will not pretend to be one. The formulas could very well be proprietary and life-changing. Customer testimonials and time will tell. I did a cursory search for Ariix testimonials and was unable to find any at the moment. The company is very new, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Once again, I’m sure Tim Sales would not have jumped blindly into a company unless it had sound products, so I would lean to them being quality nutritional supplements.

The Ariix Compensation Plan is incredibly innovative, but also the most troubling aspect of the company to me. On the outset, Ariix seems like an opportunity that looks like the next best thing and despite the beautiful and well-designed compensation plan video, the true nuts and bolts of the plan do not give me that “warm and fuzzy” that the other aspects of the company do.

First off, price and PV to actual dollars spent seems low to me. Without the IIX membership upgrade (which I will cover shortly), it looks like $142.86 plus shipping nets a distributor $75 in actual commissionable volume. That’s about a 50% price to volume ratio… that means you’re really only compensated on roughly half of the money that you generate through your organization. Secondly, the start packages are huge! We’re talking $1100 to start with a big business in a box package. This will create some pretty large checks no doubt, but in all my years in the business I have found it takes a special breed of folks to be able to sell packages of this size. Given the rampant unemployment and low consumer confidence, finding folks willing to shell out $1100 is going to be a tough nut to crack.

To Ariix’s credit, they do have some other options which cost less however. The only thing that does not sit well with me is this “one-time only” choice of whether or not to upgrade to being a IIX (pronounced “two-X”) member. This $150 upgrade allows you to earn more money in the pay-plan over time. However, it just does not sit well with me. From a regulatory standpoint, I am not so sure that a state attorney general would like it much either. It seems very much like a “pay-to-play” enticement and I without it being attached to any kind of real product, tool, or training, it just looks like a fee to pad the compensation plan. I am not a fan of it because I think it might also create a higher pressure sales situation and that is something that we do not need more of in network marketing. No one likes to feel pressured, but this $150 take-it-or-leave-it bonus could create an unequal playing field for those who are low-income or cash/credit poor and cannot afford to upgrade.

I prefer companies allow people to upgrade these sorts of things throughout their time as a distributor. That way someone can work their way up from an initial small investment and use their MLM cash-flow to upgrade at a later date. Another very innovative a cool aspect of the Ariix payplan is that instead of just being a binary, it’s sort of a tri-nary or even penta-nary plan if you want … that is, at certain levels you can activate (they call it ACTIV8) multiple paylegs. You have one powerleg that gets potentially gets “spill” from corporate and upline growth, but you can have multiple paylegs simultaneously.

This seems very cool, but the hidden catch is that you must keep all these spots active and I predict there will be garages full of vitamins from those with several business centers going simultaneously. Not that that is wrong or illegal, but you have to keep up the autoships on each position which will result in lots of excess product if you’re not adequately retailing person-to-person. Furthermore at $100 a pack wholesale to the distributor, retailing these vitamins and supplements person to person may prove difficult for those who don’t live on the set of Real Housewives: Atlanta… but I digress. Ariix also has a car-plan with a savings account attached for the down-payment (VERY COOL!) and they also have a tremendous training system in place.

In conclusion, I find Ariix to be a company with a lot of potential. No network marketing company is perfect. They could do a bit better by offering the IIX upgrade at anytime in a distributor’s tenure and the product pricing could be a little more competitive with the outside market, but overall I think it is a solid company. I did not focus on the corporate team, but that is because it is solid with former USANA CEO Fred Cooper at the helm. Ariix will make Tim Sales and many others a great deal of money and like nearly all network marketing companies a lot of people will start out on fire, run out of gas and eventually quit before making any real money. To situate yourself on the correct side of that spectrum, I suggest signing up with a Crushyourdayjob endorsed network marketing leader. They can show you what it takes to position yourself to make a real, significant income in a home based business.
