THANK YOU, VIRGINIA BEACH! Our big Vemma opportunity meeting with BK Boreyko and Ruth Elliot was a huge success - we nearly packed the place! BK himself said he hadn't attended such a full house in a long time for a regional event. It's all thanks to you that Vemma is the number one health supplement beverage, and we're happy to see how many people stayed to sign up to take control of their own income selling Vemma and Verve.

Now more than ever is the need to be happy and healthy and live life on your own terms. As a Vemma marketer you can set your own hours and work to achieve your success. We can show you how here, with the Vemma Experts!

I bet if I described a few seconds of the Seinfeld episode where George takes the summer off, you'd know exactly what I was talking about. Here's something to jar your memory if you don't.

Basically, the gist of the episode is that George has three months off with pay, and decides he's going to live life to the fullest - an adventure that involves, among other methods of goofing off, learning to play Frisbee golf. Now, my guess is you're reading this now and wondering what Seinfeld has to do with Vemma marketing. I'm sure somebody could come up with a parallel, though while Seinfeld proudly claimed to be a show about "nothing," Vemma is definitely something.

I bring up this particular episode because the theme of the story involves pursuing one's passion.  George, given an amazing opportunity, decides he's going to do what he wants and love every second of it. Many people I know with my Vemma Experts circle are doing that as well. What likely began as a curiosity and a fondness for the Vemma and Verve drinks has grown into a desire to work independently and help others achieve a high level of well-being. You won't get rich playing Frisbee golf all summer (unless you're good enough to join a professional team, I suppose), but if you possess the drive to promote Vemma and maybe find new customers in those who do play golf and other sports and want something to keep up their energy, your benefits will last beyond summer.

Why not make this the Summer of Vemma?  Pick your passion and roll with it!

By now, if you're rip-roaring into Vemma and Verve promotion for your business, you no doubt have your Facebook set up and your Twitter account chirping high praises about Vemma incredible wealth of vitamins and minerals. It's a fact of life now, when people hit the Internet for news and leisure, they're going to the major social networks for information, where the news finds them. To succeed in marketing Vemma and Verve on the Internet, a flashy site is nice, but it also helps to be active in social marketing, bringing the news where people are most apt to find it. As part of your plan, too, it's recommended to follow those who already practice what you preach.

Now, you might think to yourself, why make friends with other Vemma marketers and follow their Twitter accounts? They're already signed into Vemma, so isn't that a waste of time promoting in their direction if they're involved?  Well, consider this: there may be hundreds and hundred of Vemma marketers around the country - even more - yet it's likely you won't see two next to each other approach their businesses in the same manner. It's not uncommon with people in other fields, too, to communicate and study similar businesses for ideas on marketing. Taking the initiative to befriend other Vemma folks via Twitter and Facebook is a good way to help promote your end.

How? For one, studying Vemma folks on social media is a good way to learn how they network. Do they constantly push the product, or do they offer relevant information with a subtle Vemma tie-in? Are they more personal and social online, replying to messages and re-tweeting posts? If there's one thing to be gained in using the retweet function, it's that A) the beneficiary may publicly thank you, thereby exposing you to potential new followers, or B) return the favor one day. Keep the "social" aspect of social media high, and you'll find results.

That said, if you aren't following US on Twitter, we hope you will. Check us out at @VemmaVirginia.

All day today, and for weeks onward, we're going to hear about the big healthcare reform bill passed through Congress. People will discuss what the bill means to them personally and how it will effect their insurance and potential health issues. Anybody with concerns about problems in the future, though, should definitely take preventative measures today to ensure good health for years. Watching what you eat, cutting down and quitting damaging habits, and taking all the essential vitamins and minerals is the smart way to get started. Incorporating Vemma into your daily regimen, of course, is your own personal health care reform.

Why Vemma? Nowhere else will you find the abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals you need for high energy and youthful vitality. One two-ounce of the Vemma supplement beverage gives you the equivalent of three grocery bags full of fruits and vegetables, and the tart mangosteen flavor provides a wonderful way to greet each morning. When you put Vemma on your schedule for a month, you will literally feel the effect this health drink has on your body. Worries of seeing the doctor may fade, you'll want to exercise more and take better care of yourself...it's a habit worth pursuing.

What has made Vemma successful side (and even full-time) business for many people is the ease with which the message of Vemma becomes viral. You try the drink, you feel amazing after the antioxidants and mangosteen do their work, and you want other people to know about it. Everybody has a friend or loved one who doesn't move at a hundred percent, and could use a multi-vitamin wonder to help them regain their vitality. The beauty of Vemma is that once you get people to try, the product does literally self itself.

You just have to give it that push. In order to spread the viral message, every move you make must reflect that. While we live in the age of social media, where everybody is twittering and updating Facebook, the tried and true e-mail signature still works wonders. You may send messages a variety of ways online, but people still use e-mail. You do, too, so why not market your Vemma business that way without necessarily pushing it?

Every time you send out a mail, whether to a friend, stranger, or colleague, you should have some sort of signature at the end of your message that best illustrates the nature of your Vemma business. It doesn't have to be long, but it must provide enough information to ensure that anybody who sees your mail (especially if it should happen to be forwarded) knows your involvement in Vemma. It could look something like this:

A friend of mine was interested when I told her the news about Vemma introducing the new THIRST product. She's never without a water bottle in hand, and stays away from the sports drinks because they are either too caloric or too expensive. However, she will buy those individual drink mix packets to cut the monotony of drinking water day in and day out. When I told her Vemma Thirst would take the power of mangosteen and other essential vitamins and antioxidants into just such a mix, she was intrigued to give it a shot.

Then, as will sometimes happen, came the sticker shock. "Why would I pay that much for drink mix?" she wanted to know. Yes, it can be a challenge to fight the argument for store-bought drink packets. Brands like Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, and Ocean Spray offer similar products for cheap - and some flavors claim to include antioxidants in the formula. However, there is one other ingredient you'll find that isn't as healthy or helpful to your system: aspartame.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that doesn't contain saccharine. You'll find it in Equal, various brands of yogurt and diet drinks, and other products labeled "sugar free" yet still maintain a level of sweetness. Though aspartame is an FDA-approved food additive, there remains some controversy about its use. Some in the medical and research field claim that regular to frequent aspartame consumption can lead to a variety of health issues, from headaches to more serious problems. Just search for "aspartame side effects" and you'll be amazed.

With Vemma Thirst, however, the primary sweetening ingredient is not something invented in a lab, but organic cane juice. One packet of Thirst in 16 fl. oz. of water may total 80 calories, but you can bet the nutritional value of the mix far outweighs any 5-calorie powder formulated with ingredients that are difficult to pronounce. When you consider what Thirst brings to the table (or water bottle), I'd argue it's worth the cost. Click here to see how Vemma Thirst compares to leading brands of mixes and portable sports drinks, and maybe you - like my friend, who has since tried Thirst and loves it - will see the difference as well.
