Thanks for that video, Patzy.

Almost as interesting were the sidebar videos that linked to it.

'Storytelling Part 2' was particularly illuminating I thought. (I looked for Part 1 but couldn't find it even though it might be there somewhere -.so many of the videos have been made Private that it's sometimes difficult to tell. )

I wouldn't like to think that anyone might be moved to capture that Storytelling Part 2 video though. I'm sure it will be left up as an exemplar of the various internet options that can be utilised and why.

cozie I find wine tends to help with improving my mindset- and gatherings with my friends funnily enough too. That's what's always got me, if a wine mlm couldn't recruit me then everyone else has no chance!

You see - you clearly haven't watched Storytelling Part 2.

That would help to clarify matters for you.

I haven't but then I'm at my desk skiving working hard so I can't atm, perhaps it might be best with wine later?

Either very sober or very drunk.

I watched the Storytelling Part 2 video. How did I ever live without being told by some bloke on a stage that Facebook is more for personal stuff and Linked in for professional? I'm quite distraught Part 1 is missing, I bet it was equally mind blowing.

I actually really enjoyed the video and found it strangely hypnotic but then I don't work in marketing. It almost made me want to join FL, with all those channels, Facebook, Twitter, lovely photos!

I don't expect he sells FL stuff though, does he? I think he'd be getting paid for his presentation.

Are you feeling well, Mimsy?

Think it was lack of food...

I have nothing useful to add, but I've sometimes had a look at these threads and think they're great. I only recently gained a Juice+er on my FB but while she posts a lot isn't actually pushing anyone once they say no thanks.

I did think of you all the other day though - been watching King of the Hill and there was an episode called Bill of Sales which is all about MLM.

Thank you Professor. I must have a look.

I think mimsy needs an intervention

Or a stiff drink.

Have some cheese -

thoughts on Birchbox? MLM or no?

I'd say not - just overpriced and unfortunately regular. Persuade me.

Ahhhh - 'It's not a pyramid scheme - it's a triangle'.

Sorry - that was a reference to King of the Hill.

So someone just posted on my local mums facebook group saying they had one day off a week and dont know any mums as they are new to the area and want to meet up with other mums as a regular once a week thing.

shes a bot.

Am i cynical or is it just to get more people to peddle crap to?

Is it possible she's trying to escape - if you say she's already in an MLM - and maybe looking for ways to make new friends who are unconnected?

OK - that may be clutching at straws.

PS - is there any reason why you can't post links to Timeless Vie which will reach the local FB group?

Glad you found it Cozie I tried linking but it wouldn't work on YouTube for me. DH couldn't understand why I found it quite that funny (he doesn't really do internet stuff so is pretty oblivious to MLMs) :o my favourite bit was at the end where each person went to the one above them to place Peggy's order - really nailed the whole concept I thought.

Orchid I'd be cynical too :( of course it may be genuine but I've experienced MLMers who pounce on vulnerable people. A friend has been taken in recently, not a MLM exactly but very much a Mummy-franchise IYSWIM, it's really knocked her confidence as it fell apart so quickly

what Wikipedia has to say about MLMs

Not sure if this has been linked to before? Pretty interesting and succinct. Some useful details too.

Obviously the whole thing was written by uneducated negative haterrrrrz

You forgot to insert 'middle-aged' in there, throwing.
