As many of you know I am a top producer with ViSalus the company behind the Body By Vi Challenge which is being praised as the fastest growing health challenge in the world today, not just in Direct Sales but in any industry!

I can tell you from personal experience that the Body By Vi Challenge works. I have lost over 50 pounds and it has translated to my business as well.

How can you advertise your Network Marketing Business on TV?

Ethan Lanagan — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:04:08 +0000

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!

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

Ethan Lanagan — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:48:26 +0000

“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!

Ethan

I hope this helps you find some inner peace next time you lose your phone!

The Next Trillion Dollar Giant is Now Launching!

Ethan Lanagan — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:24:26 +0000

This is from a Newsletter I received from a high level leader and trainer in Network Marketing named Todd Falcone. If you have been with the industry a while you have probably heard of him. I will rarely promote anyone else on this blog and if I do it is because I get value from them. Period! I have met him personally and I get value from him. He is a very high level networker and trainer and he never pitches any business through his training company. Anyway this is a newsletter I received from him last week. Check out his website and Blog at http://blog.toddfalcone.com/

This is from him…

Did ya hear? If not, lemme fill you in. The next Trillion Dollar Giant is now launching. It is in total pre-launch, is absolutely ground floor, and you are guaranteed to become a millionaire almost overnight!

How’s that sound to ya? Wanna join? You ready?

SERIOUSLY now, aren’t YOU absolutely sick and tired of the hyped-up baloney that some people use in this profession?

The only Trillion Dollar Giant I’m aware of is the US economic deficit! Good thing government isn’t running your network marketing company!

I have to SPEW a bit…and teach you a very VALUABLE LESSON! You ready?

I just got back from five amazing days, conducting three separate training events in the Los Angeles area, and while I was down there, I had an opportunity to hang out with some really amazing people…and,

you know what else I did? I checked my email and read this…

…before I share with you what I read, let me just say this. This happens ALL the time. The way some people “choose” to market (most of them who are broke) is sometimes literally sickening to me. Whatever you do, DO NOT market your business like this!!! While I won’t quote both of these emails verbatim, this is some of what was said from two different individuals “pitching” me on two different companies:

- The New #1 M*L*M Product in the World: Unbeatable!

- You get 90% to 100% Retention!

- 100% Residual Auto Ship!

- It will be the Biggest in the History of M*L*M !!!

I’m already on the verge of vomiting (literally), as I type this. I can’t even go on…it is THAT bad. Look people. Learn folks. This kind of stuff is absolutely PATHETIC ! No wonder some people run when they hear that stuff…I would too.

The hype, the BS, the predictions of grandeur, the blah, blah, blah…YIKES!

Let’s FLIP THE COIN for a moment. In other words, go a different direction, change of subject.

While on my trip, I also had some absolutely amazing conversations and meetings with HUGE network marketers who market and build big checks by finding a company they like, deciding to take action, put their foot on the gas, and go out and promote.

NONE of them, not a single one, markets in this fashion. ZERO, nil, nada, ZILCH.

Ethically and responsibly they go about their business by consistently focusing on what matters most: prospecting, recruiting, selling and training, WITHOUT all the hype.

The funniest thing in this little story is that in my 20 years of doing this, those individuals who make ridiculous claims and market using absolute poop for marketing material are the one’s who jump from company to company and never have any real security in their lives.

How do I know this? One of the emails I received came from someone who has sent me at least two previous emails from TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES in the past 6 months alone.

All along the way, I have friends like Dan McCormick, Jordan Adler, Brian Carruthers, Susan Sly, Donna Johnson, Margie Aliprandi, Ken Dunn, Michael and Leslie Hamburger and tons of others who simply GO TO WORK and build, without all the…

…I won’t even use the word for the others.

Look. You’re in this profession for a reason, aren’t you?

You don’t want to go from company to company, be known as a “jumper”, and ruin your reputation by marketing on baloney, do ya? Didn’t think so.

Remember…SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES.

If you don’t know what I mean by that, you may want to read that phrase again and let it sink in until you get it.

There is soooooo much money to be made, so much time freedom to be had, so many lives to impact in a positive manner in this profession, but the only way to do it, is baloney-free.

Here’s how you do it right:

Pick a company.
Make the commitment to build it.
Start building it and don’t stop.
Help people get what they want and maintain your focus.
Work hard and work smart.
Don’t quit.
Be honest…first and foremost with yourself!
Be REAL. In other words, be genuine.
Keep working on your skills.
Lead by example.

That’s it in a nutshell. I’m back in town and ready to rock for our M*L*M Power Hour on Monday night (that might be tonight…depending on when you get this).

Join us, won’t you? Dial 641-594-7500 and enter code 248873#. It starts at 5pm Pacific Time.

Happy Father’s Day to all you Daddy’s out there!

See you on Monday night at 5pm Pacific Time.

Serving the Greater Good of our Profession,

Todd Falcone
