Lets keep monitoring these pesky MLMs, shining a light on their nefarious activities, and supporting bots who realise the truth and need support.

Ooof. Some massive drop-offs here. Ouch.

Well you know the old saying.... Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Never mind eh??? Hiya Eyes, we miss you

Must be awful to drop out of the top 10

The bot that got my friend into FLP is on that top 10 list. My friend isn't doing so well. Been doing it years now. She left her good job for it.

I think the very top bot has been in it for 20 years so pretty much all the rest of them are her downline

One abovementioned bot makes money from selling ProPlanners

miffy

You can't name names, I fear. Best ask MNHQ to remove that particular post.

toobusy Just noticed that the bot who got my friend into FL has made it into the top 10 this year.
My friend was fully bottled by her and often posted links to 'her amazing upline's' posts

I think she got roped in by having her 'why' exploited, it seems that these leeches find your weak spot.

Anyway my friend disappeared from all social media a few months ago

Meanwhile the woman who got her involved has done rather well.

Oops I'm sorry, cozietosie, I was typing without engaging brain properly after seeing her name on the photo. My bad. Do I have to email MNHQ to have it edited? I'll go and look now. Thanks.

Just report it.

Hi again Cozie. I reported myself. Hopefully they will edit the names out or remove it. I'm normally a bit more on the ball than this regarding names/identifying, so my apologies. Miffy :)

Not an issue with any luck.

I think the top bots also have another form of flp related income?

One of the top UK Foreverbots has posted up a photo on FB of a gaggle of Swoopy Triple-Diamonique Penguins (actually, I think they are Eagles) at the Global Rally, promenading with their ginormous, highly flammable cardboard cheques. The sophistication of parading about advertising your salary is almost too much to countenance. #sosophisticated #gloatingformydownline

Lordy. That picture is gross.

In Merchants of Deception the top bots made their money on training and tools, not selling and recruiting. The Forever Living top bots are raking it in by selling tools and training products.

Also, I'd love to know how many of those £199 businesses in a box have bolstered these bonus cheques? How many people buy those boxes full of overpriced tat, get sucked in and never make their money back? How many more stick with it hoping success is just around the corner only to spend another small fortune on a C9 or other supplements in the hope that someone they know will cough up ... maybe, some year, this year, next year.

Isn't it in the FLP's bots' contract that they HAVE to go to these events? They don't have a choice. I doubt they could have refused to be in those photos either. And they couldn't refuse to have their cheque amounts publicly announced. Even though they are high up and 'earning' loads, they still have no say at all on anything that is happening to them. I wonder if they realise that?

They likely wouldn't want to, Toobusy. It's their moment of...........validation! (And they get to wear an evening dress and all. )

Sorry. ....to say No........

I am writing my next blog post aimed at bots who want to leave their MLM. I can easily find about the law behind the 14 day refund and I know about cancelling autoships and putting your resignation in writing etc.

I would love to find out from people who have actually left an MLM what their tips would be to anyone leaving. Anything you found out? Any dos and don'ts? Emotionally, practically, financially, anything really.

You can message me here or on Facebook or email- [email protected]

Thanks

You might be right Cozie. But I think they have been programmed to want to go. And if they tried to stray away from their programing and their handlers they would become stuck. They have no self awareness of their situation. Even though they are supposedly high up leaders they have no real power or control over their own situation.

Two bots who have got massive cheques live round the corner from me. They are totally genuine and it is not a bad income - certainly a huge improvement on what they would have got in their previous retail jobs. They would never have had the potential to earn this large a cash sum. So it does work for some people but I think it is those people who have quite a sales character and fit into that role comfortably.

No one denies that a small proportion of people make money at MLMs. The troubles are - what do they have to do to get it and where does it come from?

The thing is Teen, is that for them to succeed, many, many others have to fail . That's why I despise multi level marketing as a business model.

It promotes scammy, cultish behaviour in people who used to be quite normal to their family and friends.

I mean, who with a normal real job ever boasts about their 'income' and 'time with their bubbs' and floods their fb with weird slightly hysterical memes?

Who else who has a normal job has to spend every waking moment scouring fb for friends of friends to befriend, then their friends of friends. Because its all about recruiting a downline to make money off, not the products. MLM is not honest, its a scam.
