Tissa, how did you got involved into the Network Marketing business? Who invited you?
My first foray into network marketing was back in 2008 when I joined Global Domains International (GDI). Prior to that I’d been strictly an affiliate marketer, selling Clickbank products for example. When I built ACME People Search in 2007, GDI was where most of my affiliates hosted their people search engines.

Ernest And Sherita Ross – ViSalus Hit $1 Million In Career Earnings
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
With no network marketing experience and no formal sales training, most people would find it easy to say “No” to entrepreneurial opportunities. But, Ernest and Sherita Ross said “Yes.”
They said “Yes” to passion. “Yes” to helping people become healthier through the PROJECT 10™ Challenge. “Yes” to leading team members towards financial freedom. “Yes” to quickly rising the ranks to become Vi (ViSalus) 5-Star Ambassadors and earn the Vi 2013 MVP Award.
And now, Ernest and Sherita can say “Yes” to… $1 million in Vi career earnings in only 24 months*.
Their story shows how dreams can become a reality. They’re the epitome of just keeping it simple, challenging people in inspirational ways, and having a whole lot of fun.
Ernest, in one word, what does becoming a Vi Millionaire mean to you?
Freedom.
Throughout the past couple of years, what’s been one of your most inspirational moments as Vi Promoters?
In March of last year, when we were standing on the Vi Event stage and looking out into the crowd, I [Ernest] realized that it wasn’t just about leading our team… We were now leading Vi. Huge responsibility and huge honor.
What advice would you give people who want to get to where you are?
I’d give them my ABC’s of marketing:
- ‘A’ is for Ardent. That means you need to have passion.
- ‘B’ is for Bulletproof. Don’t let the word ‘no’ deter you.
- ‘C’ for Consistent. Continually work hard and share The Challenge.
What’s one thing that many people don’t know about you in terms of life before Vi?
At one point in my life, I quit dreaming. The best part about joining Vi is that it was the bridge to dream again. And not just dream…but dream bigger. I now have the lifestyle of a professional athlete but the impact of a humanitarian.
