My Harvest America Review - A Product Paradise Or Another MLM Wasteland From My Harvest America?

My Harvest America. So what is it then? Let's take a close look at Harvest America to see if it has legs as a network marketing affiliate program, or does it look like just another lame duck? This is the only review of My Harvest America you will ever need to read (bold claim I know but I'll bet my Stars & Stripes on it). Here goes;

The long-time entrepreneur and well recognize Fred Weih has teamed up with internet marketing guru Ronnie Ellis to bring us My Harvest America. Fred Weih's reputation is solid enough that Cornell University has actually looked closely at his business models for innovative ideas and Ronnie Ellis is a pioneer of no little repute. Let's just see what they've come up with, shall we?

Developed in 2009, My Harvest America is an internet based grocery supply depot that offers non-perishable goods at a discounted price. How can they offer this discount? One word: Bulk. They have teamed up with some of the Top Dogs in the grocery industry to buy in quantity and pass the savings down the line to the average consumer. Discounts have been around for a while and the need for food will be around for oh, let's just say forever! Slap the two together and you may just have a winning combination. One of the good thing here is the Global Population isn't going to start shrinking anytime soon; in other words, you have a customer pool that will always have a need. That's definitely the right kind of opportunity for an MLM of any sort.

There is however, a downside to the whole concept. So far it's a toss-up as to whether or not it will be worth it for the savvy shopper with a fist full of coupons. There's always a way to save money if you look hard enough and in this economy people are looking harder. Another issue is shipping. Food is heavy so the shipping costs are higher than I would like to see. My Harvest America as of yet has no good deals on shipping but that may change as they get some longevity behind them.

Now let's look at the actual business opportunity. To activate your representative status you need to first take care of the $29.95 membership fee. This is a fee that everyone pays whether they are a distributor or a shopper. Second, you must purchase your $69.95 product package. The total is a higher than I would like to see but if you have spent any time researching MLM opportunities, you know you could be paying much more in regards to a start up cost.

Once you've taken care of all the enrollment details, you become the proud owner of your very own My Harvest America Website to customize as you see fit. The drawback to this is you don't have a back-office. This isn't such a bad thing if you are familiar with Search Engine Optimization, landing pages, lead capture pages, mailing lists and the rest. Personally, I would rather shell out the extra coin.

The commission matrix is a respectable 3 wide and 8 deep with the opportunity to get deeper. The structure has been around for a while and works. To start reaping the benefits of the matrix you need to do one of two things. You can find at least one shopper you personally sponsor or you recruit your first team member or, "Retail Subscriber".

From personal sales and matrix commissions, we move on to another stream of income, the bonuses. My Harvest America has a few other sources for income. One in particular that struck my fancy is the "Shopper-Matching Bonus". There's a fee attached of $29.95 but once paid, you should realize some decent income. You pull in 50% of the sale from all of your Subscribed Shoppers and an additional 20% from Super Shoppers that you sponsor to the fifth level.

My Harvest America looks like a well rounded MLM business opportunity and has two strong names at the helm. The niche they have entered also has good possibilities; unfortunately, since the company is newborn there is no recorded information as to how well they are doing. You may want to wait and see if they take off first before you sign on as a network marketing affiliate for this particular program.
