The first issue you must take into reflection when reviewing Vemma is the story of the leadership who created the actual corporation. Vemma is founded by an entrepreneur named BK Boreyko and his household. BK Boreyko is the owner of New Vision, a corporation that has been in business at the present for fourteen years productively and has operated in countries all throughout the planet. New Vision is one of the companies that helped establish the liquid nutritionals business more than a decade ago, and they have had a shared whole of more than $1 billion in sales.

Vemma zeroes in on numerous brands of select goods, the most notable being a product called ‘Verve.’ Verve is a healthy energy drink alternative that is sold by Verve distributors. Is Verve as valuable as Vemma distributors claim? You should try it for yourself and then decide. Although I usually find that MLM companies ‘hype out’ their product claims, Vemma usually makes the attempt to present their products as accurately as possible.

There are also several other noteable Vemma products, including their specialized brand of vitamins for adults and children. One of the things that I liked when I first took a look into the company is the fact that they had different products that children can take.

How do the products affect the opportunity? It’s important to ask the question “do I really like these products as a stand alone item?” If the answer is no, then you had better steer clear. Simply try the products for yourself for the next four weeks or so and see how you like them before you get started. After all, if they aren’t great products do you really want to join? If however, you thoroughly enjoy the products and you feel passionate about them, Vemma might be the right company for you.

One problem I see with Vemma is that a lot of the leaders are building with out dated MLM tactics from the 70’s. The market is more competitive today than it was 30 years ago, and to compete you need modern recruiting strategies. The main reason why these tactics don’t work is because most individuals simply don’t have the contacts to recruit enough people by talking to their warm market. To be successful today in Vemma, learn how to recruit with modern day methods and you’ll do a lot better than you will otherwise. In fact, if you look around, there are many MLM trainers today who can teach you what you need to know to earn the kind of living that you would really like to attain in Vemma.

When I first got involved in the MLM industry, a whole army of people were available at all times to give me second rate marketing advice. It seemed as if the forces of nature were combined against me to make sure that I only learned how to be frustrated. However, when I discovered the principles that TRULY allow the top earners in Vemma to dominate the company, I had a huge breakthrough and within two months I had my first five figure week. I encourage you to do your research, learn what you need to learn, and then just go for it.

One of the centerpieces of the Carbon Copy Pro marketing system is the famous ‘Coffee House Letter’ written by Jay Kubassek. I wanted to take some time to answer some questions caused by the Coffee House Letter because so many people have asked me about it over the years.

The essential theme of the Coffee House Letter is that because of the advent and progression of the internet, MLM is becoming obsolete as a business model.

Before we start, I need to take a minute to help you understand exactly what Carbon Copy Pro is, and how the surrounding business model works.

When you visit a Carbon Copy Pro website and opt in to read a sales letter, you’ll be taken through a sales page where you can read the Coffee House Letter for yourself. When you’re done reading the site, you have an option of buying a DVD interview with Mike Dillard and Jay Kubassek, and you can opt in to be interviewed to see if you ‘Qualify’ to be involved with the Carbon Copy Pro System. The cost of the interview and DVD is $49, and the purpose is to ‘pre-qualify’ prospects to see if they’re serious.

If you decide to join Carbon Copy Pro, these are the expenses you can expect to incur BEFORE advertising costs:

- $49 fee to join

- Monthly Fee: $49 fee for the website, back office features, and other support services. There is an additional monthly fee of $149.

- It is also recommended to have $300 or more each for advertisements. (If you do not do advertisement then how can you get people to join? Carbon Copy Pro does not promote your site for you. You must promote it yourself.)

- Yearly Fee: $149 Consulting Fee. This fee is optional. You can join as a “Free Member without paying the $149 fee.

Remember how I said that Carbon Copy Pro is an Attraction Marketing System for Wealth Masters International? When you join, you also will sign up with one of the following 3 WMI packages:

* M1 – Masters Program: $1,995

* M2 – Wealth Conference: $8,495 or $8,995 for a combination of both M1 and M2 package

* M3 – Lifestyle Experience: $19,995

So to break it down, the total initial cost to become involved in Carbon Copy Pro is the following:

$49 (start up fee)

$49 (website and other fees)

$149 (monthly fee)

$149 (yearly if you choose to have the consulting fee)

$1995 (the M1 package fee)

For a total of $2381, and possibly exceeding $20,000 (If you get involved in M1-M3 all at once)

Now, while that start up cost may be alarming to someone who’s not familiar with traditional business, for the potential income that you can earn as a Carbon Copy Pro team member makes the investment well worth while. However, just because you can earn money with CCP, does that mean that it is better than MLM? While I don’t have the time to refute all of the claims made by The Coffee House Letter and other Carbon Copy Pro Reps, there’s a few main ones that I’d like to address.

Is MLM Dead?

To put it bluntly, I don’t know where someone came up with that idea. Since the inception of the MLM profession, there have been good companies and bad companies – good marketing systems and poorly designed ones. In fact, according to the Direct Selling Association, MLM as a profession is growing faster than it ever has in any point in history. Since the advent of the internet, MLM has grown faster, not slower, and it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. In fact, 100% of all of my success has been earned AFTER the internet boom, not before, and the same is true for hundreds of thousands of Network Marketers all over the world.

In fact, the fastest growing, most profitable MLM companies of all time have all been created in the last 5 years. Even Amway is growing right now, and they’re a 57 year old company. In fact, over the last year their growth has taken off again like it did 15 years ago. (No, I’m not an Amway Rep.)

What About Attrition?

Will you have people quit your organization? Sure. But the same thing will happen in Carbon Copy Pro, or any other direct sales business that you ever build. People quit things all the time. Some of the most promising people you’ll sponsor will quit. However, that’s no more true than it was in 1970. However, that’s not going to stop you if you become a leader, and it won’t hurt your checks if your in an excellent company (which you should be).

Top Tier programs work the same. Jay Kubassek quit Liberty League International to join Wealth Masters International. People quit Carbon Copy Pro to join MLM companies. The fact is, that people quit things and join new things. For some reason, though, I’ve still been making a six figure income through people quitting, and so have a LOT of my friends. Interesting…

But Don’t 97% of the People in MLM Fail?

Sure. But 97% of the people in Carbon Copy Pro fail, too. Also, it depends on the statistic that you look at. 97% of the people who stick in ONE MLM COMPANY for 10 years or more are earning a six figure income according to Dr. Charles King, who has more than 15 years of dedicated research on the subject.

Failure is a result of inconsistent behavior and ineffective marketing, nothing more. If you are engaging in effective marketing, and stay consistent, you’ll eventually earn the money you’re looking for.

Want to know the funny thing? 97% of people who are licensed insurance agents make less than $200 per month. The same goes with Real Estate and ANY OTHER direct selling profession. Let’s stop with the B.S. already and stop trying to pretend that MLM is any different.

Are ‘Top Tier’ Programs Like CCP Better Than MLM?

That depends on your goal. Both industries have their unique selling propositions, and what kind of lifestyle you want should determine what opportunity you choose. The one advantage of Carbon Copy Pro and other Top Tier programs is that you can make more money initially with less effort and sales. However, let me briefly cover the reasons why I personally prefer MLM:

Reason #1: The Start Up Cost

Quite frankly, the thing that I love about Network Marketing is that the low start up cost levels the playing field for the average person. Someone can get involved in MLM today usually for $500 or less. To be honest, I even prefer less. My first successful organization was built with a $1,000 buy in package, and honestly, I prefer that new people come in today at a lower price and invest more time and money in marketing than they do the companies products. This ensures that people get started right and they stay active and involved.

Reason #2: The Residual Income Factor

If you are investing the kind of time, energy, and money that you need to be successful in Carbon Copy Pro, it has been my personal experience that monthly, residual income has grown 10 times faster for me than any of my friends involved in any Top Tier Program. In The Coffee House Letter, Jay Kubassek argues that if you earn an initial commission of $1000, it’s like you’re getting paid on a years worth of residuals. That’s true, if you only count that one person – but there’s something that’s being left out in saying that:

Because of the lower start up cost, it has been my experience that I can sponsor 5-10 people into my team with the same amount of marketing and effort that it takes to sponsor one person in Carbon Copy Pro. Also, typically I’ll see that one out of five people who become involved with me eventually go out and build a huge MLM downline, which gives me residual income off of hundreds, or thousands of more people. Quite simply – you can’t compare residual income from one person to the residual income from 100 people.

Reason #3: I Can Make Up Front Money Anyway

The fact is, that the major attraction to Carbon Copy Pro is that you can make fast, huge, up front money. Well, if you learn how to market yourself online (which is the future of the MLM profession), you can do that anyways after you’ve developed a sizeable list by marketing affiliate programs, seminars, marketing tools, and other useful information to your list. I don’t need an initial buy in package of $2-$20k to make up front profits. My goal in MLM is residual, passive drink out of a coconut money that comes in year after year, month after month with no effort whatsoever once it’s established. However, being able to earn $50,000 or $100,000 in a weekend is nice, too.

If you add up front money to the mix from strategies that you learn as you go along, you now have the perfect business model that can have you earning seven figures year after year after year if you put in the time, effort, and energy to learn the strategies that will get you there. Imagine earning a residual income of $50,000 per month, and then learning how to make an additional $250,000 from product creation, seminars, or – use your imagination. The possibilities are endless.

Reason #5: MLM Products Rock

One of the most common complaints about MLM is that the products are too expensive. Unfortunately, a lot of times this is true, as you can purchase a similar product locally for 60-70% less than through most MLM companies. However, that being said – the quality of MLM products that I’ve purchased from various companies over the years has been unsurpassed, and it would be a disservice to our country to cease offering them to the public.

From soaps that are so much better than Tide that you won’t believe until you try all the way through Pre Paid Legal services and Personal Development products, MLM products have been the most competitive, value packed commodities I’ve purchased from anywhere, period.

The fact is – I would rather pay a little bit more and be using something that gets REAL RESULTS, which is what you get with a good MLM company.

If you want to make money with MLM, ignore all of the hype about the newest, best thing. There are three things that you need, and three things only. If you master these, you can write your own check in this profession. They are:

1. You need to choose a KILLER MLM company, and stick with it once you do. (Stop changing companies. Do your research, base your decision on business (not emotion), and COMMIT to stick to one company once you’ve decided.

2. You need a PERSONALIZED system that is compatible with modern day marketing methods that will put your prospecting, presenting, and training on autopilot to free up wasted time and get you more consistent results. By far the BEST system on the internet is the one we’ve developed on this website.

3. You need to STAY FOCUSED on becoming a master at marketing techniques that get you the results your looking for. 100% of your focus should be on one thing, which is building a list of prospects that you can build a relationship with, market to, and cultivate into a team over a period of time. There are a lot of marketing techniques, and your goal is to find one that works for you and STICK WITH IT until you are a master at that one method, then learn something new.

Stick with it. This is a great industry, and don’t let some sales letter distract you from the truth of this profession – that it is the greatest single profession of all time, and that it can give you time freedom, financial leverage, and personal satisfaction beyond anything that you can imagine.

A brief history on Mark Hoverson:

Mark Hoverson has created quite the name for himself in the area of online business growth strategies in the Network Marketing profession. When Mark first got involved in the MLM profession, he attempted at first to build his business through traditional recruiting tactics – buying leads, doing home meetings, and handing out DVDs and audio CDs.

He tried it all – purchasing leads lists and experiencing the excruciating pain of dialing through hundreds and thousands of leads each week. After a while, he found that the only people who would get involved with him in his business were the people who he took time with and got to know them over the phone.

After a period of time, Mark Hoverson started being coached by another industry guru – Jeffrey Combs, and Jeff taught him the secrets of creating attraction through online marketing systems. When Mark decided to apply his natural genius and creativity to his business, he soon found that he could get people to want to call him through some clever online marketing strategies – rather than chasing down his friends and family.

Since that time, he has broken several international sales records, and earned in excess of $100,000 in a single month from his home business.

What are the main strategies that Mark uses to build his business?

Mark has done everything online, from making videos on YouTube, to running full fledged PPC campaigns with Yahoo and Google.

Once you visit his WebPages, you’ll find that he extends an invitation to opt in to his newsletter, and he will give you some valuable online training in return. To put it simply, Mark Hoverson is an absolute marketing dynamo who applies a well balanced strategy of marketing, branding, and affiliate programs to profit from his email list as much as he can.

Now will Mark scam you if you become involved with him? Or should you join his team?

Mark Hoverson is definitely NOT a scam, as you’ll find if you do your research properly. If you can believe it, I recently ran into a report online where someone claimed that Mark scammed them – and they were just promoting their opportunity!

One thing that you’ll have access to by joining Mark’s team is in depth marketing strategies that will help you market any business you choose. Just because Mark Hoverson is a fantastic online marketer does not mean you should drink the coolaid and decide to join his team, however. You need to do your own due diligence and decide what the right strategy is for you. What you’ll find is that no matter who’s team you join – whether it is Mark Hoverson’s or any of the other online gurus – there is no free lunch in Network Marketing and you’re going to have to learn some new skills and work hard.

You might actually discover in your research that it would be a bad idea for you to join Mark Hoverson’s organization – not because he’s bad – but because there is a better option for you. As for myself, I was aware of Mark and his online MLM systems and decided that it wouldn’t be in my best interest to join his team. I simply feel that there are more comprehensive, simpler online systems to use. Just make sure that you don’t make a final decision before you look at some options that are comparable – or better – and that way you’ll be able to create a more informed marketing strategy.

If you learn the simple strategies that Mark teaches and apply them in your business, you’ll be on your way to living your dreams in the awesome profession of Network Marketing.

Here is a brief introduction to Norbert Orlewicz and his MLM systems:

Norbert is one of the only other people in the whole Network Marketing profession that went through as much failure as I did when I started, and managed to plough through the rejection, excuses, crappy advice, and silly systems until he built a dramatic level of personal success.

Norbert began his career in Network Marketing being tortured to frustration by doing ‘Old School’ MLM tactics to his complete and utter despair. It was 6 years of failing before Norbert discovered the truth about the MLM industry.

Would you be able to take that, you think? Six years of spending more money than he earned, getting rejected, and failing and STILL he didn’t quit? Norbert made $25,000 his first six weeks of learning how to build his MLM business through the power of leveraging technology and online systems, so I guess it was worthwhile to endure the failure.

What was Norbert doing wrong that whole time, to fail for so long?

To make a long, boring story short, Norbert was failing because of the over use of outdated, ineffective strategies, such as hassling friends, family and relatives. Have you heard this story somewhere else, maybe?

Later, he learned what was wrong, and implemented attraction marketing principles into his business, and…

…BAMB! $25k in six weeks of hard work.

So what is Norbert’s primary company?

All of Norbert’s affiliate programs, websites, and emails funnel everyone into his main company, Carbon Copy Pro.

Is joining Carbon Copy Pro with Norbert a good idea?

You should base your decision after your personal goals, vision, and a thorough analysis of Norbert’s business model. If you’re looking to get involved with a direct sales business that IS NOT MLM where you can make some quick up front money, then you may want to get involved in Carbon Copy Pro, and Norbert Orlewicz is one of the best mentors you can have in that company.

I think it’s important to understand that while you can certainly earn up front money from Carbon Copy Pro, residual income is better obtained through working a solid MLM company. However, understand that there is a difference – you WILL be able to make faster money in Carbon Copy Pro – it’s just that the income you build will be from personal sales and production, NOT residual income.

Is Norbert Orlewicz a scam artist, who will cheat you out of your money?

Norbert is not only successful in his business, but he is absolutely an honest, wonderful person. Now will there be a significant investment involved in becoming involved with Norbert? Absolutely. But that’s because you can make a lot of money if you work hard, in return. Also, you’ll find that no matter what opportunity you look for, there are positives and negatives to being involved. CCP is absolutely an honest, legal business opportunity.

I actually worked with Norbert Orlewicz to create my own attraction marketing system for my MLM company, and I can tell you first hand that he’s a great mentor with A LOT of valuable things to say. By following his suggestions, you can succeed more abundantly in any opportunity you choose.

Norbert is actually one of the easiest MLM trainers to contact, and he will absolutely work with you to help you acheive you goals. That’s the good thing about Norbert – he gives value without thought of what comes back to him in return.

I hope that this article was informative for you, and gave you a perspective into Norbert’s success that can be profitable for your own MLM business. If you have additional questions, I would encourage you to visit the full review in the author resource box below:

So who exactly is Brian Fanale?

Just over four years ago, Brian Fanale was…

NOBODY: He was a bartender dreaming of riches, just graduated from college and living in a perpetual state of Rock and Roll.

Brian got involved in the MLM profession part time and just like 97% of everyone in that industry, he failed horribly from the start, no matter what he tried, Brian was simply not content with failing, and worked day and night, looking for the ‘hidden SECRET’ that would allow him unlimited prosperity.

So we can keep our article short, I’ll just cut to the chase: Brian Fanale eventually learned the guiding principles of ‘Attraction Marketing’ and from that point on, he has lived in a state of complete prosperity

Brian has now shattered several international sales records, and is one of the top five earners in one of the largest Direct Selling companies in the world.

What Business is Brian Fanale Involved in?

Brian is an independent representative of Wealth Masters International, and he markets his business primarily through a ‘funded proposal’ marketing system called Carbon Copy Pro. As an encompassing review of CCP and WMI is beyond the scope and purpose of this article, if you’re not familiar with the company, you can visit my Carbon Copy Pro Review.

So is the business that Brian promotes a scam?

Brian is a lot of things – musician, entrepreneur, marketing genius, mentor…

…but he can hardly be called a scam. In all actuality, Brian Fanale is one of the most revered leaders in Wealth Masters International.

Should You Join Brian Fanale?

That entirely depends on what your goals are. Even though Brian is a great mentor, his business is not going to automatically make your business successful. The more important thing to consider would be if Carbon Copy Pro is the right business model for you. While I can absolutely without question recommend Brian Fanale, it is important that you equally research the Carbon Copy Pro opportunity – from both sides (the good and the ugly).

For example, you may want to build an MLM business. It should be noted that Carbon Copy Pro is a Top Tier opportunity, NOT a Network Marketing opportunity.

Can Brian Fanale help you reach your goals?

As far as this goes, I’ve got nothing to say but praise about Brian…

Absolutely yes, he can. IThe truth is, I actually worked with Brian to develop my own marketing system, and from a first hand testimonial – he is a great mentor.

So can you share Brian Fanale’s secrets?

The great thing about being at the top as an MLM professional is that I can tell you there are no secrets – and Brian would say the same.

Quite frankly, the only thing stopping millions of failing Network Marketers from using our marketing systems is either ignorance, or laziness.

So here’s my two cents: if prosperity is eluding you in the MLM profession, there are two problems that are causing it:

1. You don’t have enough high quality people to talk to. (If this is the case, STOP trying to sponsor people and get focused on lead generation until you master basic lead creation skills.)

2. Because of some crazy excuse, you’re not calling your leads – you’ll probably solve this problem when you start generating your own leads, as the people are so much easier to talk to that it’s absolutely ridiculous.

That’s it! Literally, that’s everything there is – having enough leads to talk to, and talking to the leads that you have. If those two things are in check and you’re still not making money, you need a better marketing system!
