How much do people make from the MLM schemes?

[StunnerNotReally]

My facebook suddenly has loads of women doing these.
Body shop and Tropic and the perfume one.

Reply to my blog share from the MLMbot:

“Business models can be used in many different ways, with many different results and it's an admirable thing to want to protect people but not all the information in articles like this is factual and that can do just as much harm as some companies have great ethics/code of conduct and can offer real opportunities for people.”

I don’t even know how to begin to reply to this level of brainwashing.

The only opportunities MLMs offer is to strip mine new members' "warm market" (pity purchases from friends and family).

Once that's gone you're of no use to them, unless you're particularly good at bringing new victims into the pyramid (but most aren't).

We’ve got some weight loss coffee doing the rounds here. The company’s obviously banned here I think as they never reveal the name of it in all the pictures. The ringleader claims to be making £££, I’d love to know what she really makes from it. Every Friday it’s ‘my pay has a comma in it, this is insane’ implying she’s raking in £1000 per week. It’s life changing, has helped them all recover form anxiety, has cured all their ills, they get promotions every other day, yet they’re always ‘one step away from the car plan or the paid for holiday’. Each one of her victims stops posting after a few weeks. It drives me nuts but I keep look with a perverse fascination at how people seem to ignore any due diligence. All young mums of course who really cant afford to lose money. I have no idea how these things aren’t made illegal.

Has anyone else seen Ashlie Molstad on Instagram? She's an American MLM-er related to fitness/shakes (I think) who appears to have made an absolute fortune. I just can't work out what she actually does though. I keep following her because it oddly fascinates me (in a sceptical way, not a 'ooh I'd like to do that' way).

the low downs and middle rankers lose money. high rankers earn maybe minimum wage but are forced to waste it on conspicuous consumption. a very very tiny handful at the very top earn a pretty good, maybe high in a tiny proportion of cases, wage.

In the last couple to weeks, three people I know have started selling the same products, so it's interesting to compare their posts.

Considering the cost of some of the items, someone somewhere is making an absolute fortune - but I have no doubt it's none of the three I know.

As well as my Yoooonique bot i now have an Usborne books bot....predictably both bots are getting zero comments on their posts...I would rather clean toilets than sell overpriced crap to people who are only buying it out of pity.

my pay has a comma in it, this is insane

Maybe she's been paid in Euros where a comma is used instead of a decimal point (EU3,92 instead of £3.92)

@BrightYellowDaffodil actually that’s a very good point. That could well be the case, so she’s not outright lying.

My Facebook is absolutely filled with people claiming to have made £££ from just doing what they love, and how they’ve been able to quit their job and hardly work any hours

The other day I opened my notifications to 8 friends who had added me to various selling groups.

I have one person on there who has probably gave them all a go at some point. She even posted a few months ago how she’s got her and her husband in £3,000 debt from falling for the scams claiming to make her mega money! Yet the other day she’s posting she’s now working for Herbalife..

Another ‘friend’ gets very annoyed and goes off in rants that her friends don’t support her dream in becoming her own boss, and how they must be jealous as it wouldn’t hurt everyone to at least buy one thing to support her. I’m sorry but I don’t even have money to treat myself to make up etc.. that I know I love, let alone to just buy random tatt of someone promoting scam businesses.

What I don’t get is all the wording and things they post is all the same style to other friends selling the same things, so is there something they just copy and paste to advertise it or do they come up with all the wording them self?

I've have an old school friend on Facebook who has been posting for weeks and weeks about It choose change' and how she's give up her office job to give herself financial freedom etc etc....
Never seemed to be selling anything but always asking people to 'PM hun' for more details.
Half the things she posts must be copied and pasted as it's not the way she speaks at all.
After weeks of intrigue (in a nosey way, not that I'd be interested) she's finally revealed what it is.
WildSol Lifestyle.
Never heard of that one! Looks like travel agency of some sort. How would that work?
