Is the world ready for another health and wellness network marketing company that relies on another Amazon superfruit?  The folks at Maakoa (Maakoa.com) are making a bet that it is.  Maakoa, based out of Orem, Utah, officially launched on July 4th, 2009.  The translation of the name of the company means “fearless” in English, and that is Maakoa’s motto.  According to its website, the company exhibits its fearless philosophy by “taking on bold new challenges and succeeding when others may fail. It’s about building relationships and treating people the right way.”

At the present, the company offers two products.  The first is a juice called Koopuwa.  Like many other juices these days, Koopuwa has Açai Berry, Pomegranate and Blueberry.  But Maakoa is betting that what will set Koopuwa apart from the other juices is its inclusion of the latest Amazonian superfruit to make its way to the United States – Cupuaçu (pronounced “coo poo ahh sue”).  Cupuaçu is the most popular fruit in the Amazon and is used to make jams, cakes, ice creams and a number of other foods.  The indigenous people of the Amazon have used the fruit as a primary food source for centuries and believe that Cupuaçu had medicinal properties to relieve labor pains and abdominal problems.  The Cupuaçu tree grows about 60 feet high and the fruit resembles a coconut.  The plant is a distant relative of the cocoa plant, and while the sweet pulp is used in the Maakoa juice product, the seed of the Cupuaçu is used to make a chocolate like product called culpulate.

Cupuaçu also has a unique type of polyphenols called theograndins, which are a relatively new discovery. Theograndins have potent antioxidant activity and provide cardiovascular protective and immune supportive benefits.  It is also said to improve mental clarity, energy and stamina, libido, circulation and provide a host of other healthy benefits.

I know many people want to yank their hair out when trying to determine which network marketing company is the best one for them. For some the decision to start a home based business was harrowing enough. Then they have to weed through all the different types of home based businesses to find out which suits them best. Finally, once they decide that network marketing is the route they want to go, they get the pleasure of having to choose from over 500 MLM companies.

Now I know that most people – unfortunately – don’t go through a systematic process like that when choosing a company. Usually they sign up because their Uncle Milton told them that he had the answer to their financial woes or Betty at work is about to quit her day job because she found a miracle juice that makes her feel 20 years younger, and if they sign up too they soon will be following Betty out the door. I say unfortunately because I believe that most people fail in network marketing primarily because they haven’t done their homework and have no clue what they are getting into.

Welcome to Multiple Streams Memo! The name comes from my huge belief that everyone should strive to develop multiple streams of income.  The purpose of this blog is to help those who are or who want to be involved in online and network marketing with practical ideas, techniques and strategies to help them build a successful business. I also really want to learn from what I hope to be many readers, many of whom will have much more brilliant ideas than I.  As for those folks who are just wading into the waters of online or network marketing, I hope to offer some honest comments to help them separate the wheat from the chaff on the millions of programs circling the Internet.

So why should you believe what I have to say? Honestly, I hope you’re suspect about anything I write here – as you should be with anyone with whom you don’t have a track record. You don’t know me, and you don’t know what hidden motives I might have. Hopefully, over time you will begin to see that I am trying to provide truthful information.  If I’m involved with an opportunity that I’m writing about, I will tell you about it up front. Obviously, if I have found something that works for me, chances are I’m going to let people know about it on this blog.  Promoting a product does not necessarily mean that the product isn’t any good.  But I encourage you to apply critical thinking to anything I promote to see if that product would benefit you before you wade further.

Now a little about me.  I have been involved in online and network marketing in various forms for about the past 3 years.  I floundered around for awhile trying this and that with minimal success. My results were not due to any inherent problems with the techniques I was using or the company that I was with, but more a result of not taking consistent action with each technique for a sufficient amount of time to see positive results. I didn’t see results until this year when I began to focus on one system. I’ve also been a practicing attorney for nearly 20 years, and with my continuing results online, I will soon have the choice of putting my law practice into retirement.  I’m also dad to two beautiful little girls and husband for almost 19 years to the most wonderful and understanding woman I have ever known. Life is pretty darn good.

So this blog is a continuing journey for me to improve my online marketing skills. I don’t claim to know everything about the topics that I will write about, but hopefully I will be able to offer some honest insight into this fascinating and profitable world and together we can have some fun and success.  Here’s to the journey.
