I loved yesterday's TV post, when can we expect the next instalment?! It's on my daily to-read sites now, love it.

Vegodoll I will repeat: If you are for real, then please remember you can come back here and get help.

VegoDoll The bit we didn't believe, was everything you should really have put 'Once upon a time' in front of.

Welcome vego nice to see a different perspective, but how does it make you feel that people who are in your team will be trying to emulate you and to do that they will be getting in debt, buying products they can't afford, just to get their team bonus? You might find it easy to get 300pv per month, but others will be struggling.

One of the lines you said, was that you like to work with people who want to make it work. So is that the ones who are doing their minimum 100pv just so you will work with them?

This was a line that's was used on me, if I wasn't doing my 4cc then I mustn't be serious about my business. And they would only help the ones that were serious.

How many out of your 3000+ team won't have made any money, in fact will have lost money :( that's the part we find so hard on here, that people keep going with mlm and lose money.

If you are making money, you're in the minority and on the back of others losing money

ambler21 · 18/02/2016 21:49

cozietoesie asked you about you being happy with the moral aspect of it all. You never answered as far as I can see.
You did state that 'Most people fail at MLM, but I am not in that category'. As well as stating you have over 5000 people in your team. Do you inform the majority of your team of their true prospects? Failure? Or happily allow them to boost your line for the time they are involved?
I don't feel people have turned on you, more they are just giving an honest response. Many of us have lost friends and family to MLM schemes and are cynical swines.

nextyearrodney · 18/02/2016 21:52

Yes its the moral side, the money you are putting in your pocket is being taken out of the pockets of those in your team.

Vegodoll's mask has just slipped. There's only one person on this thread who keeps using the de-humanizing term, 'snake.' Also, isn't that what all 'MLM' evangelists go round doing (well except Vegodoll who would never tell a lie), peddling a plan to commit social, psychological and financial suicide 'help' to vulnerable individuals.

nextyearrodney · 18/02/2016 22:00

Well we have been known to refer to aloe gloop as snake oil but I've never seen anyone other than Vegodoll use the term to refer to people.

throwingpebbles · 18/02/2016 22:04

vego if you work 15-19 hours a day, when do you spend any time with your child?

stopfaffing · 18/02/2016 22:10

New thread alert!!! Who is going to start the next one? Grin

Kanga59 · 18/02/2016 22:10

When we get the new thread, purlease can we get scammy scam scammers back in the title? [insert MLM names] - are they scammy scam scammers? may work

ambler21 · 18/02/2016 22:17

Ideally lastuseraccount123 if about can spawn the next thread for continuity but if it gets close jump in there stopstaffing
We certainly don't wanna fill it up without linking.

stopfaffing · 18/02/2016 22:18

Thanks for your input, Vego. It seems that you are the an example of the tiny minority who appear to succeed in an MLM company, sadly at the expense of the vast majority. Is that ok with you? That your success is built in the miserable failure of everyone else, due to the business model?

This is the crux of the matter, for me. It is why I will never trust an MLM company, nor the people who peddle it as a viable business opportunity. I have seen too much evidence that is shows me the true reality for most adherents; that they are the customer, they take the financial risks, they ultimately pay the highest price. The MLM company walks away, free from risk and responsibility.

stopfaffing · 18/02/2016 22:19

Kanga feel free to start the next one Grin. I did number 6.

Beautifully put stopfaffing. Even if vego is telling the truth. It's all those 5000 others I am sad for; all those being peddled an impossible dream

I've found my tribe! If I have to see another tarantula-lash selfie accompanied by paragraphs of emoji-vomit and passive-aggressive motivational hashtags I'm going to scream. You ladies are brilliant. ✨👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻💯🔥💥🍷🍷🍷
