What would happen if MonaVie and other liquid nutritional products were reclassified by the FDA as a conventional food?
The primary result would be that they would not be able to be marketed as a dietary supplement, but only as a conventional food, which could all but destroy your Monavie business.
This issue is currently being considered by the FDA, so don’t discount the possibility of it happening.
If you think that this could never happen, consider that the government took ephedra nutritional supplements off the market a few years ago. Ephedra was one of the MOST EFFECTIVE weight-loss supplements when used in a safe manner, but perhaps due to the influence of the lobbyist for the pharmaceutical companies, it was banned.
Keep in mind that pharmaceutical companies COMPETE with nutritional companies, to provide solutions to health challenges. So if they can get the government to ban nutritional ingredients or change the rules, then they can have a greater advantage in the marketplace.
If MonaVie and other liquid nutrition products were reclassified as foods, then that could effectively shut down distribution of the products, which would shut down commissions to their marketers.
If you’re a Mona Vie marketer and it’s the primary source of your income, then you would be in a very bad position.
So here’s the takeaway…
As a marketer for any network marketing company, you don’t own your business.
Read that again… You don’t own your business.
If the company closes, you lose everything. If the company terminates your independent contractor agreement, you lose everything. If the company changes the compensation plan, you are powerless to overrule.
You don’t really own anything with your mlm business. You do not own the product, the company, your downline, the domain name or the marketing pieces.
You are an independent distributor, you don’t have any rights and your distributorship can be taken away at any point for any reason.
So how can you protect yourself?
The first thing to strive for is OWNERSHIP and control. You want to build your business around ‘you’ as a person instead of around your mlm company. Your product is going to be what you can give to your prospects.
Your email list and your relationship to the people on your list is your most important asset. It is your business.
Think about that statement… If your primary company closed today and you don’t have a email marketing list, you’re out of business and have to start from scratch.
But if you’ve promoted yourself and built a large email marketing list, you can move onto other things, because you own your list and it goes with you.
You want to market your ability to help others create a home business.
This will get prospects to opt onto your email list to get access to more information.
Then your email autoresponder system can automatically send your leads the information they want. And it starts to BUILD A RELATIONSHIP with the people on your list, which is so important because people do business with those they know, like and trust.
Your email system then will position other training products to help them continue to learn and grow, which helps you GENERATE AFFILIATE INCOME streams.
And of course, your marketing system will position your primary business opportunity, to let the right people CALL YOU about your business.
To summarize, you want to market yourself not your MLM.
An effective MLM lead system shows you how to drive traffic to your capture page to generate leads, it markets affiliate products to create multiple income streams, it positions your primary business opportunity to build your team, and most importantly…
It helps you build a business that will last, even if your primary business opportunity changes.
