Everywhere you turn, people are talking about the Acai berry and it's possible benefits.
Due to their high antioxidant content, it is said that the acai berry can help you lose weight.
Oprah is talking about it.
Rachel Ray is talking about it.
Dr. Perrisone is talking about it.
So what's the deal with the Acai berry?
Honestly, I'm not sure. But I would be willing to try it out. After all, they are calling it a "superfood"
You can get an Acai Berry free trial for just a few dollars.
Have you tried the Acai Berry?
I'm interested to hear what the hype is all about.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

I've seen ads for that berry being offered in the Maxbounty cpa network, which I don't place any of those ads in spite of there high payout per lead (which is probably why you're seeing those ads all over the place) Right now, Acia Berry Blast is paying a whopping $30 per lead, but even than, I still don't have that ad on my site because that's not my target market. I do, however, have ads for two different types of surveys on my site because everyone I know, no matter what niche there in, likes to have there voice heard, so most ads that invite people to take surveys will get anyone's attention even if it's not directly related to the site's niche.

I never thought you would be pushing products that they are selling every day from those Multi-Level Marketing schemes??

You know why everyone is talking about it.Because its making everyone $$$$.
I know someone who is making over $300/per day from Acai from one keyword phrase.Searches per month in google keyword tool is below 20.
I haven`t tried it yet but i will be in the new year.

I have tried the acai berry - didn't do anything - I didn't have any more energy than I did before, I didn't start "flushing" away pounds (none in fact) and it didnt change the way I felt in any way.
I'm sure eating the actual berries would be beneficial as part of your everyday diet, but trying to use a pill dubbed "acai berry superfood" probably won't get you very far. It's called proper diet and exercise people!!!

I have not tried the acai berry, especially from any of the pill websites. My research has shown that as in most things, when the berry is heated to such a degree to make it a pill, it loses its potency. Whole Foods carries the juice and I believe that would be the way to go to get the real benefits.
I don't expect to have a great surge in the way I feel because I already take pretty good care of myself. However, what I do know from experience is that when you give your body what it needs, it is designed to take care of itself. Therefore taking great antioxidants is a very good thing even if you don't think you are 'feeling' a difference. The proof is in your overall health not an instant feeling.

I was involved with a MLM company that sold Goji. Same hype...same promises.
Funny thing is, after leaving that company I found Joel Comm. LOL
What Joel has taught me has made me far more money than the MLM ever did so I forgive you.

I just had to add my two cents, having worked
at a health food store for 8 yrs.
The acai berry has many more times the antioxidant
properties of Vitamin C, which I know lots of people
take to flush out a cold... it works! So, if you
can take less of something and get it in a food form,
that is a good selling point. Anything in a food
form is more easily absorbed, and not everyone feels
comfortable taking vitamins(they think they'll overdose and
so forth),so a food is a better choice for them) About 2 yrs.
ago, is when this product was first introduced.The Planet
Smoothie at the mall uses it as an immune system booster.
The acai better is rich in many different nutrients besides
vitamin C. And yes,you will always find people riding the band
wagon when there is a new supplement/vitamin introduced.
Do your homework, so you can get a good product and not
one that has a lot of filler and chemicals.Finding a trustworthy
source of information on supplements, and ask them what
brand THEY are taking and then buy that one!

give joel a break you naysayers, he's just making an observation! As much as I hate mlm, I also know that the link he provided to go "sign up" is NOT an affiliate link. The link he provided under the hyperlinked text has the domain.com/subpage.html format, a typical affiliate link has the format, domain.com/index.php=messyjumbleoftext
therefore your claim that joel is trying to push mlm on us does not hold water because he has no vested interest in any of us signing up because he's not making money on those signups, and besides, you naysayers who are angry with Joel for posting the link thinking he's trying to push mlm would still be angry if it was made obvious that there was no business opportunity attached to it, yet there was still no link provided out of fear that people would get angry for posting an affiliate link.

The food we eat today have less nutrients than 10-20 years ago. So we need supplements today to get the nutrients for our body to function properly, the idea that "I eat healthy, so I don't need any supplements" is an outdated idea. Usually the MLM products are of higher quality than the ones you are getting in the normal retail shop.

"The link he provided under the hyperlinked text has the domain.com/subpage.html format, a typical affiliate link has the format, domain.com/index.php=messyjumbleoftext"
Links can end in any file extension, or no file extension, with or without GET variables. There's no way to tell if it's an affiliate link or not really. Besides, even if it wasn't, it could be a link to his site.
This is my first visit here and also my last. This post has absolutely no information and seems like an ad, even if it isn't. I also don't understand how you can know anything about marketing and not know that Acai is only popular because of the high payout.

His link is static which goes to an acai website full of affiliate banners... owned by Joel Comm
