Pondering the unlimited potential of the Internet

OK, some of you who know me know that I have a tendency to daydream a bit. Like most entrepreneurs, I am guilty of having an overactive imagination. But just think about this for one sec. If I were able to harness the power of the internet to market a product that has the kind of mass appeal as Mona Vie to create a distribution net spanning the globe, what would that potential look like?

North America has 250 Million Internet users... Let's just say I can get .25% of them to my site. That is a measly quarter of a percent - translated it comes out to roughly 625,000 people. And what if I were able to get 2.5% to express interest and another 2% of those who express interest actually join me in distributing Mona Vie. That number comes out to about 300. I sign those 300 people and they each sign up 2 additional people. That is an organization of roughly 900 doing an average monthly volume of 2 cases per week, 1800 cases per week. Here is what my compensation would look like:

On the first order bonus (FOB), 300(personally sponsored) x $40 = $12000

Bulk order Bonus (BOB) ,1800 divided by 3 x $25 = $15000

Add in the Star Maker Bonus, 300 x $40 (because everyone is a Star) = $12000

Team Commissions, (10% of my lowest performing leg or 5% avg) = $9000

Along with this would likely come an Executive Check Match. [compensation plan]

The numbers are staggering! Keep in mind this represents one week -$48,000 + bonus. And this is only in North America! Of course, I had made a lot of assumptions and although the number of dollars are not easy to fathom, I think I can realistically sponsor 300 people into my direct down line by leveraging the power of the Internet. This is why I have started in to this. With careful evaluation and the coaxing of my friend Tony Sirkin, I have decided to take a leap of faith and go for it. And we're going to blow this thing through the roof!...

Here we go again....


Yet another attempt at Entrepreneurship. Today I signed up to become a distributer of Mona Vie - an Acai based nutritional supplement that has been featured on Oprah and endorsed by a number of athletes. It claims to have the highest ORAC rating of similar kinds of elixirs. ORAC is how anti-oxidants are measured.
