ZIJA PRODUCTS- My Personal Perspective…..
I have noticed that the main website, (Zija International) stocks the entire portfolio of Zija products, whilst in my country the range is limited.
The products are all said to contain natural ingredients. The Moringa supplements contain famous Moringa Oleifera.
Then there are two other product ranges, namely the Ameo Essential Oils and the Genm Personal Beauty care products.
They also have products within the fitness supplement department, but unfortunately, this is the one that is unavailable in my country.
What is so special about the Zija Moringa Supplements?- Are they Really Unique?
Apparently, the company claims that stricter measures are placed during the ‘harvesting’ of these preparations and unlike other products(on the market) they utilize all parts, (the seeds, leaves, and fruit) during the manufacturing process.
The plant protein preparation comes in two flavors, Dutch Chocolate and Vanilla bean.
They are packed in 28, ready to drink sachets.
They are priced at R1512.50, per box.(Approx $108) This excludes shipping fees.
In terms of price, I personally believe that these products are more expensive in comparison to the alternative powders, capsule or leave preparation that is available in my country.
Just to give you an idea,
We have,
- Moringa Capsules (90 Capsules- 1 Month Supply) – R149.95 or $10
- Moringa Leaf Powder 100grams – R25.95 OR $3.00
What is Moringa used for?
It is a plant that has been used in Eastern countries for many years, to treat ailments such as diabetes, respiratory disorders, heart diseases, anemia and so forth.
Apparently, this plant boasts a range of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective properties that has caused it to gain a lot of popularity within the last few years.
Do Zija products really work?
That is not an easy question to answer. Some folks claim that it works, whilst others feel that it is utter nonsense,
There is no conclusive or scientific data to back-up the effectiveness of Moringa preparations.
These products have NOT been evaluated by our Local Medicinal Control Council.The Zija Moringa Protein has not been evaluated or endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration as well.
The truth of the matter is, is that you will only know until you have tried it for yourself.
And the bigger question is, are you willing to pay a huge price just to see if the product works or not. Or would you rather try a cheaper alternative first?
THE AMEO ESSENTIAL OILS PRODUCT RANGE
I must admit that I was pretty impressed when watching the introductory video of how these oils are manufactured.
Once again, at the end of the day, to me, it is a question about the price.
Ameo Frankincense Oil, Price: R1026 OR $73
I mean, if you do research, you will find other companies that employ just as many strict measures in the manufacturing of its oils and still offer it at a cheaper price than what is on offer at Ameo.
GenM PERSONAL CARE RANGE
Furthermore, there is the personal skin care product line, as shown below.
Let us take a look at the business plan and see how you can make money with Zija.
THE ZIJA COMPENSATION PLAN – A TYPICAL MLM MODEL
The Zija Compensation plan is typical of your traditional MLM-Model. There are 4 major ways of earning and there are some incentive offerings as well.
- RETAIL SALES
This is profit that you would make by buying the products at wholesale and selling at the retail price.
2. FAST START COMMISSIONS
You earn 15% or 25% of the first order volume of your new distributors that join into your downline.
3. TEAM COMMISSIONS
Team commissions are paid depending on how active your ‘genealogy’ is or in other words, how your downline is growing. You would get paid on the lesser leg of your downline and need 500TCV to qualify for a payment.
To qualify for payments or commissions, a distributor must maintain ACTIVE AND QUALIFIED status. To do this, he or she must have a Points Volume(PV) of 75 EVERY 4 WEEKS!
To be QUALIFIED, they would also need to have TWO DISTRIBUTORS on each of their ‘legs’ with an active status. Meaning that these two distributors have a 75PV as well.
Each Zija product has assigned a respective PV to it. So as you buy products, you will know how much you will need to spend in order to reach the minimum PV target. Naturally, the higher the cost or dollar amount of product, the higher will be the PV.
4. LEADERSHIP CHECK MATCH POOL
This is where you would earn a percentage of team commissions based upon eight generations of your downline members.
5. DIAMOND LEADERSHIP POOLS
If you qualify for the diamond ranks, then you stand in line to earn a percentage of the companies TCV(Total Commissionable Volume).
6. ONE TIME BONUSES
On reaching various ‘diamond’ ranks, Zija will pay you a one-time bonus based on which rank you achieved.
There are other bonuses such as,
- TEAM BENZ LUXURY CAR BONUS
- Special initiatives, like incentive trips and the Zija’s Rewards Program.
Is Zija a Scam? – This is What I Think…
If you had to take a look at the Better Business Bureau rating, you would find that there are more positive reviews in favor of the company.
So is Zija a Scam or not?
I am of the opinion that Zija is not a scam. The company has a decent portfolio of products and it has a long-standing history in the market.
However, here are some concerns that you might be interested in taking a look at.
- The products are Expensive
As I had pointed out earlier on, with respect to the oils and the Moringa Supplements, these products can be sourced at cheaper prices.
The reason as to why you need to consider this point is that, the ‘reality’ in today’s age, is that people are looking to save money.
Sure you might find the Zija products to be ‘personally’ amazing, but you cannot expect everyone you meet to just pull out their wallet or purse and make a purchase.
You do not want to end up in a position where you have stocked up on products and do not have anyone who wants to buy it.
Not saying that this is what will happen to you. Just making you aware of the possibility.
2. Are the Tools and Training Enough?
So, you signed up as a Zija Distributor-what’s next?
You have a generic marketing website that tons of other Zija Distributors have as well.
Are you planning on posting these website links all over social media, in the hope of getting sign ups? This is easier said than done.
You need a way to stand out from the crowd. You need to be different.
This is why many folks who join MLM-Businesses fail. They need to be taught of other ways of getting quality and interested leads to their offers.
This is something you need to consider before even signing up.

3. Recruiting is The Key
As I had shown you, looking at the TEAM COMMISSIONS pay plan, it is all about the numbers. By that, I mean how much people you can get to join your downline.
If you are someone, who is experienced with the sales and marketing side of things, then by all means, give the Zija business a shot.
If you do not like the thought of recruiting and speaking to people, then perhaps Zija may not be the best opportunity for you.

CONCLUSION- DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
I have tried the MLM Model. Initially, it’s all exciting and going to those seminar’s really makes you feel that you have finally found the business of your dreams.
Then reality kicked in, and I found out that recruiting was tough and the products of the respective MLM’s was expensive to sell. That was my experience, and it does not have to necessarily be yours.
Working at ANY business takes hard work and dedication. There is no ‘get rich quick,‘ path. The difference is that I am now building an online business that does not require,
- Any Cold calling,
- Any Recruiting,
- Or me to spend continuously on stock.
As I’ve said, it still requires of me to do some hard work, but it’s a business that I am building in my own time and based on my own passion.
