Please note that no scientific study by an independent group has been able to validate that Monavie is even a healthy alternative to a vegetarian rich diet. Also, the way they sell their product through a multi-level marketing scheme will not yield any profits to the average distributor.

Please note that Monavie is a SCAM!
Monavie uses the term multi-level marketing (MLM) as a way to sell their product. MLM is the same concept as a pyramid scheme. It is a legal way to scam unsuspecting people. The only way to become successful in this scheme is to cheat other people by promising them financial independence. This is the number one way to recruit new members. In reality, the new distributors have a very slim chance in making any profits from this scheme.
In the case of Monavie, its' own 2007 income disclosure statement says that "fewer than 1 percent qualified for commissions and of those, only 10 percent made more than $100 a week".1 In other words, only 0.1% of the distributors see any income from this venture. As such, it is extremely difficult to make any money as a distributor for Monavie.
For example to earn a commission of $300 you have to sell 30 cases or 300 bottles, which they refer to as 3, 000 GSV, each bottle is worth anywhere from $37 (standard pricing) to $27 (bulk pricing), which means you have to recruit at least 30 of your friends/family to buy on a weekly basis at least 4 bottles each. This calculation is based on the pricing and compensation data from their website.2
When you go to a Monavie meeting the first thing they will do is show you testimonials and photos of people in front of nice cars, homes, and yachts. The last thing they talk about is the actual business behind the product. This is to appeal to your emotions and to distract you from the real business. Once you're emotions are worked up it is harder to think logically. This is how they bring people to sign up.
Pay attention to the numbers. To see the truth recreate the financial model behind the distributors compensation structure. Do not get distracted by the sales presentation. They will use language like, "we do not sell... we share" (if that were the case then Monavie should be free of charge for everyone, all the time).
CLUE: The average distributor will never see any money from this company.
The real winner here is Monavie. Because they manage to create 5 million sales distributors, who are also customers, without the overhead burden of a traditional sales force. These people are all hoping to make money when in reality
My name is Bill Gouldd, founder of Equinox - a pyramid marketing scheme company, that was closed by the FTC. I am a reform multi-level marketing con artist. I have studied Monavie over the past several months, and have met their representatives. I am here to warn you that Monavie is scam! I have nothing to gain from this. I just want to be on the right moral side.
