One More Cup of Coffee. Simply put, Zrii is yet another direct marketing company that specializes in health and nutrition products. In this case, they have an emphasis on energy and on fuel, although the products are fairly typical.

I will admit that the products from Zrii are a little less expensive than I would expect but even so, this is a fairly generic health and nutrition MLM. This alone makes the opportunity questionable, especially as the compensation plan is complex and strongly emphasizes recruitment.

At first glance, Zrii might look exciting and a little unique. Instead, they are mostly variations of approaches that countless other health and nutrition MLMs take. For example, the item below could be considered the signature product from the brand.

Essentially, this is fruit juice that also contains a proprietary blend of plant-based compounds, which are listed below.

For the most part, the research on these compounds has been minimal and there is very little evidence that they offer much in terms of health at all. Beyond this, the product is simply water and juice which is from concentrate. Another product on offer is Rise, which is supposed to be high performance coffee. This is another area where there is lots of hype and little evidence. Companies like Zrii like to try and convince people that there are some ingredients, like these, that can have a huge impact on health.

Yet, in practice, these additions fail to live up to the claims. In fact, green coffee bean extract is a good example of this.

At one point in time, there was a lot of hype surrounding green coffee bean extract and it was promoted as a powerful way to lose weight. Yet, interest has waned over the past few years as there was never good evidence to back up those claims.

Zrii does offer other products too but they tend to follow the same approaches of the coffee and the Amalaki drink. Essentially, there is a lot of hype along with added plant-based ingredients but there is little evidence that these added ingredients would actually do anything. In many cases, companies will pick a few plant-based ingredients to add into their products. Those ingredients end up making the products sound unique and unusual, which can often be enough to get people interested in the products and the company.

Indeed, many of the products are similar to what you can find in health food stores or even grocery stores, although the products from companies like Zrii do tend to be considerably more expensive.

Essentially, this is simply a fish oil supplement and is fairly similar to others that are in the marketplace. One thing I'm confused about is the price and service size. But what is the serving size?

If you just take a shot, then the story is different. In both cases, the prices from distributors are probably a little bit cheaper.

Nevertheless, the prices are more reasonable than most other MLMs in this field. From the images, it looks like the company has the same almost cult-like mentality that you often see in MLMs. This can also make it difficult to learn more about the opportunity, as a lot of the reviews will have this same bias. In terms of the opportunity itself, the company promotes a number of different ways to earn money. These are broken down into three categories: The number of different entries here may make the process sound great but really the overall approach can be broken down into two elements.

The first of these is product sales. This aspect of an MLM is actually a little similar to affiliate marketing, where you earn commissions for selling products.

The biggest difference here is that with Zrii and other MLMs you are selling a physical product in person, while affiliate marketing tends to rely more on websites and digital products. It is possible to make a decent amount of money this way but only if you can make enough sales. In many ways, this is pretty difficult, because you are using direct selling, which involves establishing relationships and convincing customers to make purchases.

At the same time, there are a lot of different health and nutrition products out there, so it would take a lot of effort to get people to actually purchase products from Zrii and from you specifically. Instead, the focus is on the process of recruitment. This means that you are also supposed to get other people to join the company and sell the products as well.

The design is that you build a team under you by recruiting people and getting them to recruit others. Most of the entries in that earlier image are connected to this process because members get various bonuses based on the way that their team performs. Nevertheless, these bonuses tend to affect people who have a decent-sized team and good performance within the company, so they are unlikely to affect most people trying to earn money.

Based on this pattern, there is a potential to earn a lot of money but only if you can get a large and well-performing team. That is the underlying issue with MLMs. Most members struggle considerable to get that far and may fail to make many sales at all.

The reality is that most people struggle to make sales and end up annoying friends and family to get them to buy products. The company makes the whole process sound better than it is by providing the following income disclosure for The information provided is only for active distributors.

That term refers to distributors who have met certain conditions. Because of the requirements, staying an active member in an MLM is often difficult. As such, the statistics in the table just reflect the members who are at least partly successful. The structure of an MLM tends to be fairly complex with a lot of requirements for progressing through the ranks and building your team. In many ways, that makes sense. After all, distributors are trying to recruit people and that does encourage them to make the company sound as good as possible.

One final thing to consider is the structure of an MLM. Much like a pyramid scheme, MLMs rely on recruitment. This means that as a company expands, the processes of making sales and recruiting people gets progressively more difficult. This happens because more members increases the amount of competition and decreases the number of people who would be interested in joining. In many cases, this means that most people who are successful in an MLM are those who got involved early.

In contrast, those who join in late are much less likely to ever be successful.

One of the biggest issues with MLMs like Zrii is the model. Why follow a business model that is this complex? I mentioned one such approach earlier, the concept of affiliate marketing.

Of all the ways to earn money, affiliate marketing remains my favorite, partly because it is easy to get started with and also because it scales up so well. Instead, the emphasis is just on selling products. Now, it might seem like the income potential is lower with affiliate marketing because there are fewer bonuses. This makes it much easier to get large amounts of sales. In contrast, with an MLM, the amount of sales you can make personally is always going to be limited. After all, there is only so many people that you can interact with in a given period of time.

Instead, the process of getting started and earning money is fairly simple as well. This is also something that you can learn without a lot of hassle. In particular, one of the best places to get started as an affiliate marketer is a site called Wealthy Affiliate. This site provides training in affiliate marketing and is specifically focused on the needs of beginners.

October 9, at 1: September 3, at 9: I have never heard about this brand before. But from your review it seems like this is a really typical MLM brand which only target on money making instead of the product itself. I actually do not have any bias on MLM as some of the brand like Amway they are really focus on their product and benefit their consumer.

But somehow, many MLM company has lost their focus on the product itself and only looking for money. The worst part is, giving fake hope to its members who are still dream of become rich overnight to have their down-line working for them.
