Zurvita - Is Zurvita A Legitimate Network Marketing Company?

If you have heard about Zurvita, you are probably wondering what exactly it is, the products and services it provides, and how it can benefit you. More than anything, though, you are probably wondering if the company is a legitimate opportunity for the average individual. This article discusses Zurvita, the products, and the business opportunity.

Zurvita was founded in 2008 by Mark and Tracy Jarvis. This couple had built a substantial sales organization in a previous network marketing company and decided the time was right for them to venture out on their own to build their own network marketing company.

When Zurvita started, the company began marketing low cost benefit packages ranging from savings on everyday expenses to healthcare. After launching in March of 2008 the company quickly aligned themselves with a large retail energy provider and begin the sales of electricity and natural gas services to residents in deregulated states.

In 2009, the company further expanded their product offering by offering cellular phone services and digital voice, or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.

Zurvita became a publicly traded company shortly after launching their communication services. In late 2009, the company acquired the rights to market a product called LocalAdLink, a managed per-per-click (PPC) Internet advertising platform. The sales of LocalAdLink have just begun at the time of this article. With LocalAdLink, the company is expanding their portfolio of business to business services and offerings.

So you are probably asking yourself, what, then, is the business opportunity and can anyone make money in it?

Zurvita requires a small one-time investment in order to get the individual setup with the company, a marketing kit, and back-office software to track sales and organization growth. For a monthly fee of $49.95, an individual can subscribe to the Zurvita "Biz Pak." The Biz Pak is a collection of benefits and tools, including the individual's replicated company websites and a rebate program that gives more money back to the individual than the cost of the Biz Pak itself.

The compensation plan the company has in place has multiple ways for anyone to make money. These methods include up-front bonuses for customer gathering, bonuses for helping individuals gather their first customers, bonuses for continuing to grow their organization, and monthly residual incomes on all products sold. In order to make more with the company, an individual does have to gather more than the minimum amount of customers.

Based on this information, Zurvita is a legitimate network marketing business for anyone to start. The company has products sold to end users and a compensation plan that encourages their consultants to gather customers and not just recruit other individuals into the business.
