THE VM DIRECT COMPANY STORY

In 1996, a small, grainy, quarter-inch video caught the attention of Mr. Craig Ellins and Ms. Amy Black. Played over the Internet and unencumbered by the use of a download or movie player, Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black saw the future of web-based technology: streaming video online without file transfers or a complex technical process.

With that, a simple concept (albeit one way ahead of its time) was born: Make online video communications easy and affordable enough for everyone to use. There was success in this vision. Great success. One which grew their original company to an employee base of over 160 with offices stretching from Las Vegas to Tokyo.

It wasn't long however before Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black found themselves veering quickly down a path they never intended to take. A path which set its sights on Fortune 500 companies, instead of the general public as was originally intended. With the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black could see trouble ahead.

Then came the tragic events on September 11th. Their company fell victim to the widespread market crash that affected businesses around the world. Large enterprises were no longer investing in multi-million dollar streaming systems. The dream that Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black had tirelessly pursued was slipping away. But they refused to quit. In early November of 2001, amid a shaken nation, Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black returned to their original mission and created VMdirect.

This time however, they decided to adopt an aggressive Affiliate marketing program. The reason? A peer to peer sales system not only moves product quickly, but it rewards those who take the product to market.

Then in early 2003, something amazing happened. Mr. Ellins and Ms. Black joined forces with network marketing legend Mr. Richard Kall, a man who continues to yield millions in residual income from business organizations he built 20 years ago. As a distributor, Mr. Kall led six companies to grand success with his hard work and tireless dedication.

Immediately impressed with the product's ease of use and implications for self-publishing and individual empowerment over the Internet, Mr. Kall invested in and became Chairman of VMdirect. He confirmed Mr. Ellins and Ms. Blacks original vision, that individuals could reach their financial goals, have fun and help others all at the same time! Together they have created a powerful company with a network of highly motivated individuals who have positioned themselves ahead of several major online trends with a world-class compensation plan.

The stage is now set for a new generation of network marketing that successfully combines high tech and high touch with a truly turnkey business system. VMdirect continues to strengthen its position within an industry poised on the edge of massive growth. With the launch of its newly revamped retail product, helloWorld 5.0 platform, VMdirect Affiliates are now preparing for worldwide expansion. Join us.

In November of 2001 when companies were going out of business in record numbers following the tragic events of 9/11, Ellins and Black returned to their original dream and created VMdirect. This time around however, instead of going the Wall Street route, they decided to take the products to market with an aggressive business opportunity program as people to people selling works and rewards the people.

Plus the products are easily shared between people and spread virally through markets. Think about it... the reason Hotmail, Yahoo and even AOL became so big was because of viral marketing - one person sending an email to another person and so on. Today Yahoo has close to 170 million email accounts, with MSN boasting about the same. All created through word of mouth. But…did you ever make any money from Yahoo, MSN or AOL? Did they ever give you an opportunity to make money while promoting their services?
