Yes but what happens when if you lose one (or dare I say "more") of your original 6 because they tire of dining on yazoo and pot noodles?

LifeTreeWorld · 01/05/2016 23:52

Then you earn nothing Throwing, which I think has been established over and over and...

LTW the reason that the trolls come here is so that's what people think. They direct the narrative, they call everyone bitches, even when we're just talking about cheese. It's done deliberately - there's some fairly blatant trolling on this thread as well.

I'm confused with the 6-21 thing. So you could have 20 people and still only get £200?

That also goes a long way to explain where the money comes from

You know you'd save the same amount you get in compensation, and the £200 is made up from the savings your downline aren't saving. A bit like mugging all your mates of their savings from offers and boggof's

lastuseraccount123 · 01/05/2016 23:55

i don't believe LTW is anything but a professional MLMer. IMO this is all about damage limitation for LTW.

And here's the link to that useful blog again.

MLM The American dream made nightmare

lastuseraccount123 · 01/05/2016 23:56

oh and i'm giggling over LTW not liking TV's "tone". hahahahaahaa!!! I take that as a compliment. IF we're not pissing off MLMers, we're not doing it right!

Twunk · 01/05/2016 23:57

You're not an ex-MLMer though LTW and despite very strong evidence the business model is at best unsupportable and at worst a Ponzi scheme you seem to be curiously unwilling to change your position. And you are defending the business despite its obviously unrealistic plans and compensation scheme. It's bonkers!

throwingpebbles · 01/05/2016 23:57

You've missed the point ltw my point is that then you will be trying to compete with your down lines for replacement downlines!

LifeTreeWorld · 01/05/2016 23:57

Nah, I can spot a troll a mile off. Some of the regular members are a bit OTT with their posts IMO. The people coming onto the thread calling everyone bitchez aren't going to put people off opening up.

You get more bees with honey than vinegar - well remembered for anyone who truly wants to 'save' an MLMer, if you think they need saving.

lastuseraccount123 · 01/05/2016 23:57

it's quite a densely written blog. there are other ones out there - lazyman and money does a great takedown of MLMs on his site.

cozietoesie · 01/05/2016 23:58

As I said, last. There's a degree of 'shooting the messenger'.

Melaw21 · 01/05/2016 23:58

last sadly, Im beginning to agree with you there, I thought differently initially, but here we are, yet again, back at the old, you dont like my mlm so you are all nasty. Its getting old, Sorry LTW... But Im dissapointed, you seemed to be adding some helpful and informative conversation, but we clearly have just devolved into the old agree with me or else mlm trap again! Sigh.

Twunk · 01/05/2016 23:59

I don't think you need saving - I think you should stop conning others

lastuseraccount123 · 02/05/2016 00:00

twunk exactly.

oh, 'you get more bees with honey" - aka be nice to us and don't criticise us because people might notice we're running glorified pyramid schemes.

it's been a constant refrain by MLMbots since TV started. "be niiiiiice....we don't like the way you're going about it...waaah" but the fact is it's working. That's what they don't like.

throwingpebbles · 02/05/2016 00:02

I'm just going to repeat that my heart goes out to people sucked into MLMs. Many of whom genuinely want to better themselves and this is exploited while they work their butts off.

ltw though you seem to have no compassion at all for the fact that for each person "earning" £200 a month jn LTW there are 6 poor souls spunking £165/month on overpriced poundland cast-offs.

LifeTreeWorld · 02/05/2016 00:02

LastUser - your entitled to your opinion, but I've been nothing but honest on this thread. I'm not a 'professional MLMer' at all. Unless you count my dabble in Avon a few years ago, which I absolutely hated.

Do you write TV then? If so, there's no need to take it so personally. Like any blogger, surely you can accept that what you write won't always be to someone elses taste?

prettyusefulsometimes · 02/05/2016 00:03

LTW where do the hamper groceries originate?

On page 8 of thread 20 there is a photo of an unpacked LTW hamper featuring a lot of Capri Sun - on the Capri Sun box is written "Marked at 49p" ie the individual sachets are price marked.

On the Booker UK website (the cash and carry people) you can buy a case of 40 of those price marked boxes. There's a Booker store less than a mile away from Lifetreeworld HQ. Are you really receiving RRP goods? Are you really receiving a cut of the actual profits?

Melaw21 · 02/05/2016 00:04

No one who comes here and supports the trolling we have witnessed, can be taken seriously in my book. It might be worth noting that some of their posts were removed, is it possible to you at all that our reaction might have been based on the content contained within?

LifeTreeWorld · 02/05/2016 00:04

You're - I bloody rake people over the coals for that mistake every day Blush

Botfan63 · 02/05/2016 00:04

Toast , coffee, wipe the sleep from your eyes catch up before self employed J.O.B - You lot are actually unbelievable. Someone comes here for advice and suggest they may join an MLM you dehumanise them and give them a bot name, you jumped on them like parasitic creatures. Life tree comes here to offer insight to LTW and you are constantly derogatory and belittling. Careful Lifetree you may be the next troll bot and given your own special bot name they like to do this they are so intelligent they think it enhances the reader experiences and makes them look so caring to ex bots , potential bots and vulnerables Hun 😩

So you say £165 own a hamper £200 in bonus? And you get to keep all the food as well - worth a punt, but got to say the website does look rather are naff they need to sort that but it's early days. If you are in eyes wide open and happy not pressured from up line then good for you. I wish you every success!

LifeTreeWorld · 02/05/2016 00:06

Melaw - I don't support any trolling, if that's what you mean. Perhaps my post wasn't clear but that's not what I meant at all.

lastuseraccount123 · 02/05/2016 00:06

nice try LTW. How about that pyramid scheme you're part of and so keen to defend?

I judge people by their actions. The fact is, inspite of the mountainrange of red flags, you like LTW and are part of it cos it pays you the dollah and you like that.

And here you are, defending it.

That's all I need to know.

Oh, and i'm so freaking tired of people being conned into schemes like this by actions like yours.

Melaw21 · 02/05/2016 00:12

Thinks back to earlier post when bot "agreed" with us about Lifetreeworld being a scam, and how much he/she appears to have changed the tune. 🙄

Melaw21 · 02/05/2016 00:12

Cheese anyone?... With extra 'ordure'?

LifeTreeWorld · 02/05/2016 00:15

LTW is one of the newest MLM's generating interest. People have mentioned it, asked questions because it's still relatively unknown compared to the likes of Forever and Avon etc...and I've answered them. I'm not recruiting or posting huge, unrealistic earnings. Nor am I going into spasms over how fucking wonderful it is Hmm Everything I post has been factual.

I'll update for those that are interested because i'm right at the beginning..there have been plenty so far. If you don't want to hear it...I can't really help that.
