Becoming a member of Noni by NewAge
Once I clicked “alternative” on Noni by NewAge’s web site I used to be despatched to a web page that pitched a “90-day enterprise problem”.
Supposedly if I don’t “construct a profitable, worthwhile enterprise in simply 90 days”, Noni by NewAge will “provide a no-questions-asked 90-day a reimbursement assure.”
So as to get began I’ve to buy a “90-Day Problem Pack”.
These packs are actually a enterprise in a field. They comprise every part you must construct a profitable worthwhile enterprise.
The 90-Day Problem Packs price between $299 – $365, primarily based on which product alternatives are chosen.
Conclusion
Though there some qualification variations between Morinda and Noni by NewAge, there’s nonetheless far an excessive amount of affiliate autoship focus.
Put merely: If a Noni by NewAge affiliate doesn’t join autoship, they’re locked out of the compensation plan.
In the event that they need to earn any bonuses, a 120 PV or larger autoship is obligatory.
To provide you an thought of how disappointing that is, I wrote this about Morinda again in 2015;
In a nutshell associates are defacto required to spend $120 a month on Tahitian Noni product, or discover themselves locked out of many of the bonuses obtainable.
Certainly, Morinda are fairly blase in regards to the “pay to play” nature of affiliate autoship necessities.
5 years later nothing has modified.
I additionally referred to as Morinda out for failing to have any retail gross sales quantity qualifiers. That too hasn’t modified.
What you’re left with is an MLM alternative that, ought to the FTC examine, will possible generate nearly all of gross sales income through affiliate autoship orders.
In response to the FTC, this might make Noni by NewAge a pyramid scheme.
In an try at pseudo-compliance, Noni by NewAge embrace this of their Coverage Guide;
Massive quantities of product should not be launched to IPCs who can’t doc compliance with New Age/Morinda and DSA insurance policies on earlier orders.
The insinuation right here is that Noni by NewAge are discouraging stock loading… whereas concurrently forcing affiliate to buy merchandise to take part within the MLM alternative.
How carefully Noni by NewAge’s insurance policies are enforced is unknown.
In mild of Noni by NewAge’s disappointing compensation plan, analysis of its merchandise is fairly pointless.
There’s no getting round the truth that Noni by NewAge is probably going working a pay to play pyramid scheme.
Given a number of FTC enforcement actions for this actual conduct over the previous few years (Vemma, Herbalife, MOBE, Digital Altitude, Nerium/Neora, Success By Well being and AdvoCare), it begs perception why Noni by NewAge haven’t overhauled their compensation plan.
It’s 2020 guys, not adequate.
