By Ethan Lanagan On January 11, 2011 1 Comment

Being involved with a company that is getting so much positive press is an amazing feeling by itself.  On top of that being selected out of the tens of thousands or people involved in the company to be featured with a full page profile in Success From Home Magazine is truly a great honor to not only myself but a tribute to the amazing people I have been fortunate enough to call my partners and team!  It may be my picture but it truly is all about you and what we have done together!

We launched the Body By Vi Challenge a year before this was published.  I personally jumped on the Challenge.  Lost 22 pounds in 90 Days with almost no exercise and now I am down over 50 pounds loving the healthier lifestyle!  From that result was able turn it into a business that has yielded amazing results and allowed me walk away and make more than a multiple six figure career I had in the mortgage business working 60-70 hours a week, now I am able to work less than half of that impact peoples lives for a living!  Read more about my story in the article below…

Success from Home Magazine is a magazine put out by Success!  This is by far the number one magazine in our entire industry.  And they do not feature companies very often on such a large scale.  ViSalus was selected due to the fact that we are the fastest growing company in the industry. ViSalus is literally impact over 10,000 people a month through the Body By Vi Challenge!  Success also asked to feature the companies top 10 producers, which myself and my team were selected for based on production.

Importance of Getting Your People Checks!

By Ethan Lanagan On June 24, 2010 No Comments

Do you remember the first time you received a check through your Network Marketing business?  Do you remember the feeling?   Do you remember the amount?  Do you remember what that small check did for your belief system?   How important do you think it was to your current success and commitment?

I DO!  In fact I still have the CHECK!  I never cashed it.  It was only $17 bucks so its cheaper than office art might as well keep it.  But to this day I still remember that feeling of that first check!  Being brutally honest I am not sure I remember getting my first $10,000 plus check, or $20,000 plus check?  Is that weird or what?  $17 bucks was more exciting that $20,000???

Watch the above video if you haven’t already and then leave a comment letting us know about how that first check made you feel???  I want some EMOTIONAL Stories!  How important do you think getting your distributors their first few checks is?  Does it make it REAL?

Let me know in the comment section.  And as always if you like it the Share button to share on Facebook or Re Tweet this post.  Always greatly appreciated when you share the wealth.

Looking to get YOU Paid and show you your first or biggest check!

Stop Sending Facebook Messages and Pick Up the Damn Phone!

By Ethan Lanagan On May 13, 2010 4 Comments

WATCH the Video above or read below for more insight!

Ok everyone I am so excited right now to give you this huge tip!   I recently connected with a successful Network Marketer from another company that I met online through some of his marketing efforts and we connected on Facebook.  I sent him a message and he said he would love to speak sometime.  So I sent him my number after his request.  And HE ACTUALLY CALLED ME!  Amazing I know.  I swear its crazy to me when people get someone’s number off Facebook, Twitter, some form of Social Media or even an opt in lead off their landing pages to either connect to build a relationship or recruit them and they DON’T CALL!  Its amazing to me!

So I am hear to tell you to get off Facebook and get on the damn phone ASAP!  It is not revolutionary concept but so many people are missing the boat on this.  You can send Facebook messages until you are blue in the face but the reality is next level relationships need to be moved to real time conversations and the easiest way to do that is a phone call!  So get their numbers and call them.  I will tell you what if someone asks for my number and then doesn’t call me, they are automatically off my list of anyone I would put time into building a business with.  So follow through.  Get off Facebook and pick up the phone!  It is a heck of a lot easier to build relationships once you take it to a more intimate level of a phone call or in person meeting and it is certainly a lot easier to close someone to your business once you give them some personal time on the phone and contact them!

So Right NOW tell me in a comment what you think of the phone?  And why people would rather send 100 Facebook messages instead of making one phone call?  Reminds me of a post I did on Activity Vs. Productivity.  Funny how the simple things make all the difference!

Catch you another Blog Post Soon or perhaps on a Phone Call!

How can you advertise your Network Marketing Business on TV?

By Ethan Lanagan On April 24, 2010 11 Comments
Ok this is pretty crazy!  Watch this VIDEO and then read below!

First off as a disclaimer I have never used this so I have no idea if it works or is worth the money, however I did think it was a really cool video with some awesome content that applies to any business that wants to advertise, with out a doubt including Network Marketing or MLM!

Imagine if you made a good video at home on your computer and did this.  Something targeted that applied directly to where you could play the ad.  For example if your Network Marketing product is health and wellness you could play your video on late night infomercials for gym equipment or something along those lines.  That is just off the top of my head but you get the idea.

I saw this originally on Frank Kern’s Blog, who is a absolute master of marketing far better than you or I and Frank said “I’m betting you could get unbelievably targeted traffic for 20-30 cents.” So I figure if Frank said that and its not an affiliate link or something he is selling that says even more.  So its probably worth a look.

I am curious and I would love to know your feedback in the comments section if you would you this form or advertising?  Have you ever tried it?  Do you like the idea of it?

The way I always look at paid advertising is if your advertising cost can be made up with the upfront bonuses, or even close, from signed up new customers or distributors it is well worth the investment!  Will this medium do that for you?  I don’t know but its worth all of us looking into it that is for sure.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Social Media 101: People are Lazy! Use Hyperlinks or they won’t Click!

By Ethan Lanagan On April 21, 2010 2 Comments

First off sorry for the video quality.  I was going to redo it and then I thought to myself I am not a professional camera man and I don’t want any of you to think that you need to be to be successful in our industry!  So you get it how it is.  :)

Anyway super basic Social Media tip to use on Facebook, Twitter and other places.

When it comes to Social Media I go off the basic philosophy that people are LAZY and they have major Social Media A. D. D.  So we need to make it as simple as possible and easy for them to get to your websites!

So use Hyperlinks!  What is a Hyperlink?  Well notice how the first time I wrote hyperlink it was regular text and the second was underlined and an actual link???  That is a Hyperlink!

The simplest way to do this is to make sure to always include HTTP:// before your website address.  You do not need to use WWW.  It will not create a hyperlink.

For example if you post www.EthanLanagan.com on Facebook will not create a link in messages or many places.  And EthanLanagan.com certainly won’t.  But http://EthanLanagan.com will in most places!  So do it!

The key is because most people are Lazy… You can not be Lazy!

I hope this helps and if it does leave a comment and let me know whats working for you in the Social Media world???

As always if you like it be sure to hit the Share button’s on Twitter and Facebook!

Talk to you all soon,

Another Rep Called Saying They Lost All Their Contacts! Google Sync Review!

By Ethan Lanagan On April 10, 2010 6 Comments

“The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.”

- Marcus Aurelius

So it happened again yesterday… I had another rep call me and tell me he lost his cell phone and all his contacts along with it!

Now, this just may be an excuse for not making any calls but I have heard it all before!  Over and over.  The words may vary, but does this sound familiar?

“It fell in the toilet.”

“I jumped in the pool with my phone.”

“Somebody stole my Blackberry.”

“My Dog ate my iPhone and all my contacts along with it!”

“I got the new Droid, but I accidentally deleted all my contacts.”

You know the story! This never would be a problem if people would put everyone they know on their prospect tracker.  Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen and definitely not the chicken list which is, more than likely,  the most valuable list of contacts!

Well, here is a HUGE tip for everyone! BACK UP EVERYTHING! (YES!  This applies to emails and hard drives as well.) We should have all our contacts backed up every single time we add someone. But sometimes its hard to remember to do that, so I recommend using Google Sync. It works on most modern phones Blackberry, Windows phones, iPhone, Droid, etc. It is very easy to install just click on the link below…

CLICK ME NOW SO YOU HAVE NO MORE EXCUSES!

Google Sync Website…


Google will even let you text it to your cell phone with the exact download link so you can click and press “yes” until its all done for you. Google Sync automatically backs up and syncs all your contacts and your calendar multiple times a day to your gmail address book and calendar.

So let’s stop making excuses for loosing contacts and NOT calling them! Back them up. Have all of them for life and put them on your list and call them about your business!

If you use this, please post your feedback in your comments or if you have other tips let us know! Hope this helped you.  I know it has saved my butt a number of times and I’m certain everyone needs simple tools like this!

As always your re-tweets on Twitter and re-posts on Facebook are always welcome and appreciated.

So thanks to Google for putting together great apps!  My review is that this is top notch!  Four Stars!
