haven’t blogged since that funny MMA incident.

Some stuff about my current life (If you are not interested skip to the part that says Vemma...)

In the last months my life finally has gone pretty much the way parents always tell you how a life of an adult should look like when you are a kid

I currently work two enjoyable jobs part time

1.)I am selling office products (office chairs,computers, other electronics ,furniture etc. )for a big company to other companies who did ask for offers. I do that as a part time job 5-6h a day from monday to friday.
2.) I am working as a fitness and health coach 3times a week doing my own small business whenever I have free time.

Job 1 is more relaxed then your typical sales job since I get enough fixed money + some very small commission percentage. (opposed to small fixed money and big commission percentage in stressful sales jobs)
Also the fact that the company only sales quality products to other companies that did a request makes it a lot easier.

There is a giant difference between "annoying the shit out of potential customers -> persuading a 50year old women to buy shitty dog food for 40-60$ on the telephone" and trying to sell a product like a good office chair to a company that has called us 2 days ago and asked what we have to offer concerning office chairs since they need ~20 of them.

I haven’t been very active in MMA for almost 3 years now...
I still train occasionally

Have been living together with my Girlfriend for almost 2 1/2 years now

I am 28years of age.
So overall I am living a pretty enjoyable but non baller life right now.

go to bed 11pm
wake up 7am.
eat 3-4 healthy meals a day
Go to work ~ 42h a week
earn enough money to have a good time (nothing spectacular though)
Live together with the same girlfriend
Do Sports in my free time(but nothing excessive)

All my life I had that urge in me to be different.
To do stuff others don’t dare.
To play high risk and win big.
The urge to succeed big or die trying.

That’s why I did choose mostly extreme ways to spend my time in the past.
Doing drugs, making music , fighting MMA, playing Poker as main income for some time etc.
I felt like there is absolutely no way i can be happy living a normal life.
Either total failure or total success. No in between for me.

Ironic , that i now finally did find some inner peace by just being "normal" and "boring"

Which brings us to Vemma

Vemma currently seems to expand big towards Germany and my facebook is spammed big by all kind of different people who try to make money from their energy drink product Verve.
I must admit marketing wise Vemma has done a pretty good job.

They have tons of marketing videos that repeat key-sentences over and over again so that after watching them often enough it makes you want to buy their products.

It reminds me a lot of the pokerboom in 2007 where pokerstrategy ,cardrunners , Partypoker and pokerstars did tell you over and over again that everyone can make a shitload out of money from poker. 100$ as sustainable hourly income was reachable for everyone.
And after seeing enough people succeeding short-term (well you only saw the upswings and never saw the downswings ^^) everyone played poker trying to make thousands a month.

It’s kinda the same with Vemma.
They do sell an energy drink called Verve.
The idea is that you buy a Unit of X energy drinks from Vemma and then resell them to other people.
Since you won’t make a lot of money on that reselling part alone (if at all)

Vemma does offer you additional bonus money in case you get other people to buying and reselling their energy drink, too
The more people you get into buying and reselling Verve energy drink the greater Bonus Vemma will give to you.
If u get enough guys into buying and reselling at one point they will offer you financial assistance in leasing a brand new BMW

Their main target audience are guys from 18-50 years of age who so far in life have failed in making a decent living.

To put it in a nutshell their main slogan is like:

You are broke as fuck , have failed in life and don’t know how to make any money ?
Now is your time to become filthy rich. We believe in you , you can do it ! Just go for it !
You don’t even have to succeed on your own. We will make you succeed !
And look at that nice car there ! It’s almost yours !

Well from a legal point of view their is not much you can argue.

Vemma is selling you energy drinks and you can resell them. Totally legal
They offer you bonus in case u get them new customers who also want to resell energy drinks. totally legal , too

The really filthy thing in this is that they play with losers dreams about finally not being a loser anymore.

I have watched a lot of their videos (since its spammed on my facebook) and what they repeat over and over again is

1.) You can do this and become rich ! Look at how rich these guys are who signed with us
2.) We will always help you so it can’t go wrong ! look at these guys who made it with our help.
3.) Our Products are so insanely good and healthy ! and look at that sick car they guy who sells them drives
4.) Sign with us and become a winner in life. And look at that brand new BMW that can be yours

Also it’s very important to spam your messages everywhere.

Get a Message out enough times and some idiot will believe it like religion

>-<

Well at least I get some good Ideas from their Videos how to do marketing right

Gonna need it in case I ever decide to expand on my fitness and health business ^^

Vemma sounds like a Pyramid scheme, or "multi level marketing" , which is basically the same, and usually works well (for the people on top, not so much the people who get recruited)

Isn't this exact same bussiness model being done over and over again everywhere by a lot of different products? At least here in Peru everyone is trying to sell you some worhtless shit plus the super duper deal that you can make a profit by selling them yourself as well! Personally I hate this pyramid scheme with a passion because at the bottom (and there always is a bottom, people aren't infinite) there's a lot of guys getting screwed. Of course the heads know this, the problem is most people don't understand this basic concept.

People are the top and in the middle can and will make money though so I can see how this is a very popular bussiness model.

An MLM type business model with energy drinks. Now I've seen everything. These pyramid schemes tend to implode sooner or later (few years, sometimes more than a decade but usually it's inevitable), I'd advise everyone thinking about something like this to stay away. Or be amongst the few earliest members (or create your own MLM-pyramid!) in order to be able to effortlessly abuse other people that join after you.

My favourite line is Bet/Fold. I bet, you fold.

The problem, which is also the strenght of such strategy is that they push you to screw your friends and family...

Odds are exactly 50%: it either happens or not

Do you fail at winning big but you are still looking for crazy ways to make a shitload of money?
