Oprah has been a leading voice in the exponential growth in sales of acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) products — a fruit found in the Brazilian jungles heralded for its antioxidant powers. But now she’s under attack for her endorsement from humanitarian types, who say the exploitation of the acai is leaving jungle dwellers starved for one of their favored sources of nutrients.

Soaring yuppie demand for the fruit — sales doubled to $104 million in 2008 — has driven prices out of reach for low-income indigenous people.
It seems like much ado about nothing: If acai is being made unaffordable by $104 million in US-driven sales, then it should be easy enough to funnel a chunk of that money back into the communities to raise the standard of living: The emergence of a valuable cash crop should help the people, not hurt them.
The fact is that that rarely happens, but perhaps Oprah can use her platform to make sure that the benefits of Acai’s popularity accrues at least partly to the poor locals.But long-term, it’s probably not going to be a major driver of anything. Its explosive sales growth aside, acai has all the hallmarks of a fad food: Its sales growth is being driven by multi-level marketing hype machines like MonaVie and unrealistic claims and promises have abounded.
And what about the antioxidant power? Gourmet reported that “an experiment last year at UCLA revealed that the berry is actually lower in antioxidant potency than many other sources, including red wine and pomegranate, grape, and blueberry juices.”
Acai products — especially the ones sold through multi-level marketing — are outrageously expensive and don’t appear to be spectacular enough to justify the cost. I predict that acai flames out before it has any long-term impact on the Brazilian economy.

Do you want to know how to generate long-term MLM residual income from your MLM business? Read on to discover the secrets to it. Network marketing or MLM is an excellent strategy to build long-term residual income.
Residual income is generated by the ongoing sales to loyal customers in your network marketing organization. Therefore, the key to generating residual income is to build a large base of satisfied customers. Here are the five most important keys to achieving this goal.
1. Lead Capture Page
The purpose of capturing the name and email address of your leads is to build a relationship with these prospects. Make your lead capture page’s headline powerful. Each headline should attract your readers to want to know more and why they should subscribe to ‘earn money fast online ‘ list. Bullet point what you will offer. You may also want to give out a free report that will compel them to subscribe.
2. Auto Follow Up System
Imagine if your business comes to a point where you are generating 1,000s of leads per day! You would not be able to follow up with each one of them on your own. So what you would need is an auto responder that will automatically follow up with your prospects.
3. Find a company with a deep and wide compensation plan
For residual income, you want to be able to build a deep downline. The best compensation plan for residual income is one that gives you increasing commission on at least 5 levels. You also want to be able to build it as wide as you like to accommodate a large base of retail customers.
4. Lifelong Traffic
There are many ways to drive traffic to your lead capture page. However I always advise network marketers to spend time on traffic methods that will continue to generate itself for many years to come. One of this lifelong traffic method is article marketing. Try to write and submit at least 5 articles per week. Each article should be of 300-600 words length. By submitting articles consistently, you will generate as many as 100 leads per day and you will be generating a fruitful MLM residual income in just a matter of months.
5. Add retail customers by marketing your products
Don’t lead with your business opportunity, because chances are you don’t have on yet. Instead, learn how to market your product to the right target market. This is actually much easier than recruiting and keeping new distributors. Once you have acquired that skill, and developed marketing tools for your product, you are now in a great position to transition from retail to residual income.
Surviving in this business is tough for many. However don’t give up and just be determined. Start implementing the three steps above and you’re already on your way to your freedom ticket with a rewarding MLM residual income paycheck. Just keep thinking and visualizing about what freedom would be like with true automated wealth.

Over the years, I have been asked many times by my downlines and distributors this question – “How do you manage to be able to stand in front of thousands of people and present so effectively?”
I realized that there are too many people in our industry whom are afraid of speaking or presenting themselves in public. Stage fright is very common. In fact, I remembered someone ever told me that public speaking was even more frightening than death. Well, the key to overcome it is learn to mange it and turn it to your advantage. Having said that, I came up with this few pointers to help those in need for a solution.
These are the steps you can use the next time you are feeling the heat when on stage:
Step 1: Breathe Smoothly
It is common practice that when we are under stress, we halt our breathing for a few seconds. We will start take deep breath and hold it. That’s a wrong way to relieve stress as halting our breath greatly reduces the amount of oxygen to our brain and thus creating more anxiety and tension. The next time you are feeling the tension on stage, try to breath smoothly and slowly, and learn to establish control over your breathing.
Step 2: Smile
Research has shown that when you smile, it automatically increases the flow of blood to your brain which will prevent your nervous system from suffering from negative stress. So the next time you are on stage giving a presentation, smile more. Learning to smile in moments of stress can be great tactics to overcome challenging times.
Step 3: Maintain an Upright Posture
It is also common that when we are under stress, we tend to slouch, tighten or collapse our chest. That will significantly decrease blood flow and oxygen to our nervous system and we will not only react much slower, we will also get more tense and nervous. You should learn to stand up straight in an upright position and breath deeply and smoothly. It will relieve a great deal of stress. Try it now if you don’t believe.
Step 4: Sweep Away Tension
Sometimes, when you are feeling stress or nervous, you tend to feel that something is “hugging” you. You feel uneasy. You feel uncomfortable. What you can do is look into the mirror, scan yourself from head to toe quickly and tel yourself to remove all the tension. Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing under a huge waterfall and it washes the tension off from you.
Step 5: Face Reality
The last way to actually really make yourself a good presenter is to admit your problems. In order to avoid any form of mental paralysis, you must first acknowledge that you have a problem with public speaking and must learn to calmly accept it and face it with courage. Most good presenters started started off not knowing how to speak well too, but they have learnt how to handle stress, and have readily accept the things beyond their control. Good presenters focus on their own behaviors. In that case, what could possible be a negative stress can be transformed into a motivating and engaging experience.
Step 6: Dress Comfortably
One good way to overcome stage fright is to make sure you feel confident about yourself. Make sure when you are on stage presenting, wear your best. Wear what you are most comfortable with. You don’t have to squeeze into a tight-fit shirt just to look slim on stage, because all you are doing is making yourself feel uncomfortable and lack of confidence. Present to the audience with the real you.
Step 7: Know Your Story
Knowing your story from start to end, A-Z, is also another good way to eliminate stage fright. You will feel much more at ease when you know that you are well prepared to give the presentation. What most beginners did wrong is to not prepare sufficiently for the presentation, which makes them even more fearful of the stage. The important action here is to be prepared.
Step 8: Ensure that Everything Is Ready
One of the best way to make you feel good about the presentation and reduces your stage fright is when you know that everything is ready for your presentation. Whether it is the presentation slides, lightings, microphone, audiences or whatever, make sure that everything is in place and YOU KNOW IT. That will boost the confidence level in you and it will definitely reduce much tension from you.
Step 9: Talk to People Listening to You
When we speak on stage, there are bound to be people listening to you, and of course, people who are dosing or talking away. You have to learn how to focus on the people who are listening to you. When you scan through the audience, don’t be nervous just because a few people in the audience aren’t listening to you. Don’t be bothered about them. One way is to identify those people actively listening to you and deliver what you are presenting to them You will feel more confident and less tension on yourself. Never ever let a few black sheep amongst the audience to spoil the whole presentation.
Step 10: Talk Even Before You Take The Stage
Well, this is the most effective way for me. I recommend you to try it too. When I have any mass presentation, I will start talking the moment I see somebody. I will talk nonstop until the time of my presentation. This will greatly reduce my tension level. Most of the time, I will laugh and joke with fellow presenters and make myself feel at ease. When it comes to my turn to speak, I will feel when warmed up and ready to talk and the fear just gradually subsided. This has worked very well for me which I recommend you try it too.
I know that this 10 steps may not be all the ways, means and steps to help you overcome stage fright. But I am very sure that when you apply any of these steps, it will definitely help you in a small way or another. Just bear in mind that you can gain control of your stage fright. No one has ever died of stage fright so I am very sure that you won’t be the first. All you need is to practice, practice and practice and I am sure that with adequate preparation, you will be able to overcome your greatest fear.
