To ask someone to explain herbal life?

[booklover164]

How does it work? I'm not interested in the actual product but how do these people make money. Someone on my SM said they'd earned more in a few weeks than working crazy hours in a hospital. Please can someone tell me the very basics ( I have literally no awareness of it so please explain to me like a child 😂) of how this company works and how these people earn their crazy salaries and holidays etc? Disclaimer: I'm not interested in working for them, just curious.

You need to watch the documentary "Betting on Zero"
The short answer is you can't earn that amount of money. It's a Multi Level Marketing scam.

Old school pyramid scheme

I had a relative that did it. The products cost a fortune. Friends and family but it to support you but then they fall away. Eventually you have nobody left really and like Avon you don’t earn anywhere near what you were told you would.

It’s a pyramid scheme (Stacey Dooley does a documentary on BBC explaining the culture/ethos).

It’s very much fake it to you ‘make it’ in those businesses - they fake how many deliveries they get (keep the boxes and after months you’ll have a lot to show on SM fooling people that they’ve got lots of business).

The up change makes money as the general woman (usually women who get sucked in) is fooled into buying the product to demonstrate on SM ‘how amazing it is for skin/hair/health/weight loss’ and then they’re further persuaded to buy more products to demonstrate. Then they’re told that the only way to make ‘serious’ money is to give the opportunity to other women and the cycle starts again.

The whole ethos is to show on social media how incredible their lives are e.g. one more promotion away from getting a car, being paid weekly, having a ‘business’ that fits around the children, getting nails done weekly with pay day when in reality they’re the customer and usually spends more money on the products that they’ll ever earn. If they ever get to the point when they’re making a slight profit it’s because they’ve fallen too far in and they’ve duped all their family/friends/colleagues into ‘signing up for this opportunity’ and it doesn’t take too long for them to realise that they’ve essentially been scammed.

I nearly fell for one years ago, did a lot of research into it and then seen literally hundreds of people on my SM trying to flog some over priced makeup/coffee/skin care/candles to be slightly sheepish a few months later.

They don't. It's all lies. If they do make money then it's by pretending they make money so other people join up. It's all 'fake it till you make it', 'law of attraction' bollocks.

how do these people make money.

They lie and completely embarrass themselves in front of friends and family for being sucked in to a pyramid scheme.

Short answer; they don't.

Longer answer, it's a pyramid scheme where you take it until you make it, except you never do. Hence the lovely barn conversion or castle will be rented - although they will imply (without actually lying) they bought it. The shiny white car will be leased, the visits to showrooms to look at new BMWs will be just that, the designer handbags and clothes will be photographed them returned for a refund etc.

It doesn’t work!

I've noticed lately there are (ex?) Towie cast members selling it on Instagram it shouldn't be allowed

Herbashite is a pyramid scheme. People are told to 'fake it til you make it' so tell lots of lies about how well they are doing.
Vile, predatory company.

One if my parents was on it from a relative and said they felt the best they’d ever felt but couldn’t afford to continue. So although it didnt work for a poster above it must for some people. It’s just too bloody dear.

I think Younique is the same. Overpriced crap.
