Arf at "and lot's more" and "bycycle", it's actually hurting my fingers to type these things. I love the video - so inspiring.

I've got Timeless Vie on the first page of Google results, which is pretty good going. If you really wanted to move it up the rankings you might need to spam it on other talk boards (don't do this, incidentally, it takes it beyond satire I think).

LittleMissStubborn, you have to consider what they actually think working is. All they're doing is relentlessly posting scripted messages, hitting their contact list over and over again, and hosting real life parties if they can ever sucker anyone in to attending. Oh and of course attending their regular mind control session / online team meetings.

Actual working from home with kids around is very painful - I still find it quite difficult and ds is 10. When he was younger it was nightmarish.

Herb appeal car plan. Genius! Great video!

should TV have twitter and instagram accounts too? thoughts?

It'll be great when Google searches for TV start to show this thread. Don't know whether linking to the thread goes against guidelines or takes it past satire (trib good point) but an easy-to-find explanation might help. I would hate for people to think the wonderful TV is some smug in-joke. Not saying they do! Just playing devil's advocate. What are your thoughts on that?

And yes agree this should be across all social media. Happy to help with that.

setting up a google+ page helps with google search rankings, as does YouTube video. Wikipedia helps with Facebook rankings. Not sure if TV wants to go that far though.

Not to mention the pile of laundry that growls at you every time you make a cup of tea. People expecting you to drop everything because you are home you can't be working.

How much actual work these ladies do can't be much at all. I know during the holidays mine is barely 4 hours a day and most of that is during the sweetspot sleeping child and me trying not to pass out on the sofa! (I use a time logger app so when I work I log in, then when I close it it logs me out and I can tally up the hours)

So what are you waiting for? For your dreams to just be dreams? Are you going to make them happen? Are you going to let life pass you by, are you going to waste time just floating through life, without a plan, without any goals? MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT!!! Watch this.... and JUST DO IT!! Watch Shias passion shine through! SO MOTIVATING!!

CheekySmile · 27/09/2015 11:02

I find it really hard to make the spelling and grammar errors. I have to write it all correctly first and then go back and make changes. It messes with my head otherwise!

Libitina · 27/09/2015 11:02

Have you ever really looked at what a home based business, with the support of a phenomenal company, really involves - you will be very surprised. Flexible,part-time hours, magnificent pay package with incentives attached, full support and no targets to hit! Find out how I can always put my children and family first with no compromise, contact me today for a little more info....

Apart from when she's in Mexico or out at meetings or training sessions obviously Wink

LadyShirazz · 27/09/2015 11:18

I have never loved MN more than on this thread.

lazycoo · 27/09/2015 11:45

magnificent pay package

For some reason this has me laughing probably because a magnificent package means something else in my dirty mind! It's just the audacity of the lie. Was it Goebbels who said if you're going to lie, lie big and lie often, then people believe you?

LadyShirazz · 27/09/2015 13:39

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone, but MLM from a standpoint of recruitment fraud (until recently I worked in this over 8 years for a major UK job board).

MLM - HL, FL, Younique, Kleeneze, Bettaware and the rest - were always, always trying to get on to recruit new people into their amazing opportunity. Each day we'd also get complaints about these companies - not because we featured their jobs, but because seekers used to just complain to us anyway.

While not "fraud" as such, no way did we want our brand to be associated with these - they were a major headache for us (always different company name / email / address variants to check for) and is the reason why I am so anti-MLM (wouldn't have known what it was in such detail, otherwise).

I'm so glad to have found this thread - finally people who hate this shit just as much as I do!

I read the whole Younique thread on NM - so so so sad for a lot of them. Some very naive people there all being worked up by a frenzy of huns and mutual backslapping - how many of them are millionaires by now, I wonder...? Hmm

wow fascinating stuff Lady

re: smug in-joke - I wonder if we should put "satire" or "this is a parody page of MLMs" in the 'about' section of the page? thoughts

re: social media accounts should we divide and conquer?

I'm happy to do Twitter. Can't do instagram, would someone else be willing to set one up?

Also google + (great idea)

not sure about wikipedia - will look into it.

lastuseraccount123 · 27/09/2015 17:51

to clarify: I'm happy to do FB and Twitter but if some others could take over the rest that would be great

lastuseraccount123 · 27/09/2015 18:15

LadyShirazz · 27/09/2015 18:19

I think you should keep it as is, last - if anyone is stupid enough to contact you via the (genius) page, then send them a link to this thread!

bettyberry · 27/09/2015 18:48

schedule updates via tweetdeck or sim for FB and twitter.

Happy to load you up (anyone!) with statuses to copy and paste. I can even create some of those motivational quote thingys and message them to the FB page? can You message the page? ooh yes you can! Is that ok?

bettyberry · 27/09/2015 18:49

In fact I am pretty sure you can hook the page up to twitter aand vice versa to make the job easier :p

lastuseraccount123 · 27/09/2015 19:00
