Continuing the discussion of the various network marketing schemes or multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs) that people we know are involved in.

If you have a bot of your own then join us and share what they are saying!

Or if you are researching a company before signing up to be a network marketer please take a look at the previous bot watch thread and also this thread which delves deeper into the workings of MLMs.

And don't forget our very own MN MLM Timeless Vie!

Tonight my smallest and I read a really old Topsy and Tim called Take No Risks. It taught me that shouldn't store things in plastic bottles and more importantly you should never drink it in case it causes you harm.

'It works' bot may need to take the advice.

My SIL flbot has told my hubby ( her brother)about a lady who has only done fl for 17 months and has now brought a castle. He said he had to keep a straight face, wish I had been there. You silly moo!!!! Emma Cooper has even admitted eventually on her fb, she is only renting it to see if it fits. Think thats code for"we are renting it until someone wants to actually buy the monstrosity, then fl will find us somewhere else to "live the lie". " The thing is the bots are so brain-washed by the whole thing they cant even see the truth when its right in front of them. I am getting really worried about her now. Sad

littlemisstax · 13/11/2015 21:52

Does anyone know what happens to a FLbot if they don't make the magic 4CC a month?

(And do I get bonus points as my FLbot is also a UW distributor too)

CheekySmile · 13/11/2015 22:14

I survived the webinar in one piece...although I don't want to be average any more, I want to be a winner!

Took a zillion screenshots so will create something shares over the weekend so you can all see!

Littlemiss Without the 4 CC a month they don't qualify for the extra bonuses (team-leading etc), and I think your bot may be flouting the rules by being a member of another MLM alongside FL.

I'm not a distributor but I have used FL products and some of them are the best skincare products I've ever tried. Also I think there are quite a few people genuinely making a decent income from this. They have to work at it to make a decent income and those who do well don't just make money off their teams they coach them and help them to do well - otherwise people would just leave and give up.
If it was all a load of rubbish why are there not more people coming forward saying that? With the anonymity of the Internet it would be easy to do without losing face.
I think these threads have got a bit hysterical in mums net to be honest.

ambler21 · 13/11/2015 23:05

I'm not a distributor (yet you know and use the technical term distributor in your opening remarks?) but I have used FL products and some of them (which ones?) are the best skincare products I've ever tried. (so you're only a fan of the skin care products?) Also I think (you're not sure?) there are quite a few people (how many?) genuinely making a decent income from this (how much and can we see tax returns). They have to work at it to make a decent income and those who do well don't just make money off their teams they coach them and help them to do well - otherwise people would just leave and give up. (as they do, the yearly churn rate of any MLM, FL included, is massive. Feel free to tell us the number of FL distributors who signed up this year, but only if you're willing to tell us how many left the opportunity to achieve financial freedom this year as well)
If it was all a load of rubbish why are there not more people coming forward saying that? (shame, embarrassment, contractual obligation) With the anonymity of the Internet it would be easy to do without losing face. (unless you were trained to feel like a personal failure if you didn't succeed within FLP)
I think these threads have got a bit hysterical in mums net to be honest. (yes, thankfully some people are hysterically annoyed by the lies and distortions used by MLMs..... to be honest)

stopfaffing · 13/11/2015 23:16

Oooh!

angryangryyoungwoman · 13/11/2015 23:20

Ambler21, do you live in a castle?

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 23:20

oh here we go. A bot. yawn but do keep going google because you'll give us useful lines for TV.

they have to work at it oh yeah we've heard that before. Except at the same time they can fit it in in just a few hours a week, right!

QuintShhhhhh · 13/11/2015 23:21

What about Arbonne?

Surely Wealth Dragons is a scam and a half!?

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 23:23

arbonne is an MLM.

Next!

stopfaffing · 13/11/2015 23:23

Google sounds like you feel threatened by our threads? That's good, please try to answer our questions about this particular mlm that you are championing .

We want answers, particularly about actual net income, as opposed to apparent bonus figures bandied about. Also, what do you know about the fl woman who has 'bought' a castle?

ReloKayShon · 13/11/2015 23:27

Glad I found this. Almost almost got suckered recruited in to stella and dot stuff Confused

googlepoodle · 13/11/2015 23:28

This is what I mean by getting hysterical - I use the products so I can't answer your questions about the behind the scenes stuff. Just look at the posts between this post and my previous one. You've all jumped on a bandwagon and nothing will stop it. Hiding the thread now but you lot carry on with your closed shop.

QuintShhhhhh · 13/11/2015 23:30

Well, I think Wealth Dragons are NEXT, Lastuser, or what do you reckon?

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 23:30

oh, the old 'i just use the products' line.

we've heard that one before. Google, assuming for a moment you're serious, why don't you have a read of all the treads and "Merchants of Deception" and then see if you still think it's just a nice business we're all getting hysterical about? Though, if you're a bot, no amount of info will change your mind so there's probably no point.

relo one of my friends did, dont feel bad. :(

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 23:30

ooh no idea! does anyone know anythng about them?

lastuseraccount123 · 13/11/2015 23:32

btw amber21 good job. +1000 to wanting to see tax returns.
