New thread, links to follow...

I've just watched a vid from a top bot moving from Nuskin to 'the opportunity company', giving up a 6 fig income and starting at the bottom because she 'knows something' la la la la la laaa.
I thought the pic on the wall behind her spoke volumes

Yes, not sure how you can give up an income (especially a 6 figure income) to join another company to start again and earn the same amount?

Why would you that? But this I am told is happening, and she's shown me other ex FL people that are doing the same?

Does this mean that FL people were really making money and this is the new thing to jump onboard at ground level as I am being told?

She won't tell me a lot though about the products...

If she wants to brag about her income but sidelines the actual products ii think that tells you where the money is coming from.

Ha sponge that is completely and utterly true.
If your 5 years old.

They never tell you about the products, early on, because if they said to you, 'you can be a millionaire by selling air purifiers that cost more than a second hand car,' you wouldn't stop laughing.

I stand corrected - she's sent me some info...

Just on their UK website, it says 5000 have joined today and it's just past noon! - really??

FL bots have, as predicted, reacted to the change in compensation plan, plus have realised FL has long-since reached saturation point in the uk. Then there's all the bad publicity.

But instead of starting a real company or getting a proper job, they've decided that in fact they want to be at the top of the pyramid with Mäëllë or Ariiiiiiix.

Wankers.

Sorry I just realised that it's not their "official" site....

Every business has 'start-up costs'.

Yup. That's me.

Yes, scared to ask about it because they'll never stop pestering you about it.

Any mlm reps (ex or current) following, I have a question:
What research did you do before joining?
I don't mean about the company, I mean how it relates to you? Do people ask family and friends before joining if they'd buy and how much and how often? Do you think about how many other reps are local to you? I guess I mean basic market research but specific to you and you only and not to bots that live in castles in the sky.

I suspect that that's made quite difficult for potential adherents - by the MLM recruiters. Generally, they sound to be aiming to get people into one to ones where they can pile on the pressure without contradiction.

Good heavens. This is so motivational.

Have followed along here for a while - I'm confused though - a friend posted on FB an advert similar to a BOGOF on an MLM item that I had seen elsewhere and was curious about - I asked to buy it by confirming the price as she had advertised it. Then a weird reply that the retail price was higher, I have to 'sign up' to get a lower price (still not the advertised sale price) and wouldn't I rather have this other thing (that she'd mentioned twice to me that I don't want) - can you not actually buy this crap from them like a normal purchase? I am confused.

Gosh, Sponge.

That's really really sad, sponge

You looked as if you had swallowed the bait, Hawkings. She'll be round to your house in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

What I can't understand is that I want to buy something from her and she's stopping me

I guess she wants to recruit me or make me subscribe to something. It's so awful. How awkward. I really liked her too.

Second half of that post

The 'called' ?

She's not 'stopping' you, Hawkings. She's starting to manoeuvre you. ( You showed interest.) Sorry.

So disgusting. I won't ever mention it again. Such a shame, she is such a lovely person.

I guess I shouldn't contribute to any MLM by buying anyway. Thanks.

You might find this Botwatch piece interesting.

How to help someone in an MLM

I'm not suggesting that you'll need or want to help her but there's some stuff in there about how people are affected that you might find insightful.
