Outstanding changes on the way to re-establish the BerryTree’s payplan and competitive nature on the internet? Sound good to you? Well, that’s the rumor, folks!

One thing is for sure: The payplan will be DIFFERENT!

— — —

Some information was discussed and mentioned on last Saturday’s call (May 11, 2008). The founders hope to substantially increase the Bronze pool payments by contributing $5.00 per member to the pool. The contribution is currently at $2.00 per member, and as a result, we may yet see a bronze pool with values in the $100 range before the year is over.

Some people liked the original Berry “tree matrix;” and of course, others didn’t and couldn’t understand why the BT payplan wasn’t more similar to the suggested Nutronix team-shape. Well, good news for those of you who hated the 3×8, because the BerryTree is very likely switching to a BINARY payplan. So far, the leaders are considering a 2×12 matrix plan with some infinity bonuses, similar to the original Nutronix payplan.

It was also stated on the call that you’d be very wise to hang on to your current Senior Certificate if you still have one. Don’t rush anything and quickly cash it in, because the plan is about to change in your favor. However, if you have already cashed your senior certificate in, don’t sweat too hard! You can earn another one…it’s just going to require another Senior Upgrade at $500-550, which isn’t a cost you want to incur unless absolutely necessary.

And, once again, none of these plans have been finalized. Stay tuned for more updates, as I’m sure many of us are all excited for the NEW BerryTree coming our way!

Alright- well, it’s been quite an “interesting” month so far. And if you’re already a member of the Berry Tree and you’ve been paying attention to the e-mails and updates, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

The website itself has been acting a little crazy, and we’ve seen a few errors here and there. So, I figured it’d be wise to go through these changes and notices, starting with March 18, 2008:

Episode #1: Technical Problems – March 18

Yeah, we know…those are probably some of the last words you want to see as a member of an internet-based marketing system. Putting all the mumbo-jumbo details aside, essentially the Berry Tree was facing some issues with their server, which is a temporary problem that any website faces on the internet sooner or later; sometimes even on multiple occassions. And, as long as the errors are only temporary, there is nothing to worry about in the long-run.

Episode #2: The Site is back up! – March 20

The programmers went to work! In the end, they decided to move Automatic Builder and the Berry Tree websites and other information to a completely different hosting company. That’s definitely a good move, especially if they felt that their current operating server was going to give them further problems down the road.

At the time, there were still a few problems with links and re-directs on the main sites, but most of these problems have already been taken care of by now.

Episode #3: Bronze Pool Confusion – also on March 20

So, anyway, after sending out an update about the hosting platform changes, the administrators decided to send out another e-mail congratulating and updating all members who had earned a share in the Bronze pool for the February period. Sounds like a nice gesture, right?

The problem was that the introductory statement – “Congratulations on earning a share in the Bronze Pool this month” – suggested that each receiver of this particular e-mail was a qualifier. However, this e-mail was sent to EVERY member of the Berry Tree- both bronze pool qualifiers and non-qualifiers.

An apology for the confusion was sent out on the 24th of March…but if you were still unsure about this notice, please note that you must have 10 credits (Berry Member Credits + Personally Sponsored) to qualify.

And there you have it, folks. March Madness was indeed upon us in two forms this year 😉

Each “Episode” I listed above was actually a condensed version of an e-mail update from Nutronix…in my own words, of course. I figured you’d rather read the brief summary and quickly get all the basic details, as opposed to spending 10 minutes reading all the direct e-mail content.

But, if you wish to read the exact updates, you can find them in our Company Updates section of the blog.

If you haven’t noticed yet- and all you literally have to do is “look around” to notice- I’ve been covering a lot of information about the Berry Tree bonus pools and the company projections for future pool values.

The Berry Tree itself is a very unique opportunity, but since it revolves around a completely different system when compared to other traditional MLM companies, we will inevitably see challenges that pop-up and require time to overcome. And over time, BT founders and developers have had to tweek the system in order to maximize the distributor’s rewards.

As mentioned before in other articles, many people are extremely worried about the Bronze pool decreasing to $62 in the past month. However, let’s take a look at the past. We’ll see just how low these bronze pool shares were reduced, prior to 2008:

August 2007 – Bronze Pool Value: $39.22

September 2007 – Bronze Pool Value: $22.92
Change from previous month: -$16.30

October 2007 – Bronze Pool Value: $20.64
Change from previous month: -$2.28

November 2007 – Bronze Pool Value: $67.07
Change from previous month: $46.43

December 2007 – Bronze Pool Value: $92.91
Change from previous month: $25.84

— — —

Let’s take note of a couple things with this given example:

1. First of all, the Bronze Pool value was as low as $20 at one time! However, the company started to tweek the berry tree payplan and bonus requirements, which eventually lifted the Bronze Pool to record levels.

2. Notice that after the Bronze Pool began to increase during the November commission period, both of the increasing rate’s absolute value (Nov & Dec) was larger than the decreasing rates for the previous months.

— — —

So, what does this all mean?

Well, we’ve seen that the company was able to dig the dying bonus pools out of their hole in past experiences; chances are- even if worse comes to worst- the Berry Tree will be able to recover once again.

For those that are a tad irritated with the recent decrease:
I suggest looking over the above chart one more time. Just because the value is down at this current time does not mean it will remain at a low level. As the corporate advertising seeks to expand our membership levels to 100,000 people, you can expect a positive change!

Yes, it’s true!

The Berry tree bronze bonus pool did decrease this month by about $30. The January bonus pool share was worth $92, and February’s proved to be about $61. Now, as many of you probably already guessed, this decrease has people concerned and asking questions. I’ve even noticed a few minor panic episodes within forum communities.

If you’re part of the crowd that’s demanding to know “what’s going on?!” –
Don’t worry. You don’t really have any reason to panic. And here is why:

— — —

The Corporate Advertising Campaign just kicked in during February

As previously mentioned in other articles, the bonus pools take a certain amount of dollars- from $1 to 2.50 depending on the pool- from each individual full member in the Berry Tree. The total amount is then equally divided and dispersed among all members who qualify for that specific pool.

Therefore, this means that as more people qualify for the Bronze Pool, the shares will become smaller as more people join…UNLESS more members are constantly joining. That’s the simple math of the system.

— — —

“What does this have to do with the corporate advertising?”

At the beginning of this month, February of 2008, the company just initiated its campaign to advertise the Berry Tree and its free trial offer across the internet. It has been relatively successful so far and brought in 60-100 new people every day. However, the Berry Tree leaders intend for this campaign to eventually bring in 150 people per day, and potentially even more down the road.

As the company stands now, many people who initially joined the program when it was launched one year ago and have been slowly accumulating berry member credits (BMCs) are qualifying for the Bronze Pool for the first time. Since it only takes 20 months of loyalty to the Berry Tree- and only 12-15 months when you have an active Automatic Builder autoship- to earn 10 credits and thus qualify for the Bronze Pool, you’re going to see many new qualifiers over the course of the next couple months.

Is this something to worry about? No. It is true that the bronze pool took a hit this past month, and it may be rather slow to rise during the course of the next couple months due to the large wave of new bronze pool qualifiers. However, the advertising campaign is decided to catch up to this increasing rate of change and balance the numbers in our favor.

It’s not going to happen overnight…

It will take time to “balance the scale.” As I said earlier, we may have to endure a couple months of lower bronze pool shares in the $60-80 range. But, I believe the founders when they said their goal was to attempt to raise the Bronze pool levels to $150 or more.

So, if I had to summarize my recommendation to everyone worried about the current bonus pool drop in 25 words of less, here you go:

“Give it time. The bonus pools may not be worth gold right now, but eventually you’ll see an impressive increase.”

It’s that special time of the month again, in which hard working Berry Tree members and affiliates are rewarded with their monthly commission. And part of the joy that comes along with that commission is the shares from the bonus pools. Here are the reports for bonus pool shares last month:

Bronze Bonus Pool $92.91
Silver Bonus Pool — $53.64
Gold Bonus Pool — $244.87
Regional Bonus Pool — $61.75
National Bonus Pool — $89.87
International Bonus Pool — $206.05

And, if you had qualified for all six of those pools, you would have earned a total of $749.09, in addition to your monthly residual check. And this does not even account for the large, leader’s pools, such as 1 Star, 2 Star, etc; all the way to “Diamond.”

For a long period of time, several members were disappointed because the bronze and silver pools were decreasing in value each month. One month it was even as low as $35. However, it appears the pools are on a rise once again, after this recent report.

Here’s some even more good news: The Berry Tree is going to begin it’s mass advertising campaigns very soon; supposedly either before the end of January or by some time in February. This is the exciting development that people have been anticipating for a while now. As the Berry Tree is featured on television and other media, the company will begin to develop a larger presence across the world. That means more people will begin to join us at an exponential rate. And THAT means that current, individual Berry Tree members will see more spillover in their tree levels and the bonus pools will continue to grow larger.

How much larger?

Well, that’s a good question! I’ve been reading a lot of different opinions and predictions about “just how large” the bonus pools are going to become within the next couple of months. A recent update claimed the Bronze Pool alone could reach levels of $200-300 per share, which would be an absolutely remarkable accomplishment. The majority of individuals who I’ve seen posting and talking about their predictions for bonus pool growth tend to believe that $150-200 for this particular pool is a more realistic expectation.

But, only time will tell. This all depends on (1.) the timing of the corporate advertising, and (2.) the effectiveness of the campaign.

I don’t mean to sound too cliche when I say this, but: “It’s going to be an interesting Winter.” 😉
