Not making money with Forever Living?

Not making money with any MLM?

How to make money with Forever Living?
How to make money with MLM?

Maybe this report done for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by Jon M. Taylor, MBA, Ph.D., of the Consumer Awareness Institute may have the reason why.

When someone urges you to join an MLM in their downline with tales of the riches you can earn, all they are trying to do is use you to earn themselves more money. They know the stats, they know you won't make money and you will lose money, and friends.

They will lovebomb you, be your best friend, be all over you and then drop you like a stone.

Look at the person who is your uplines facebook. See how the people who were tagged in her statuses a year ago the same way you are tagged now are doing. Are they still with the company? Many won't be. Those who are will still not be doing well, exactly the same as a year ago, or two years ago.

If you are in Forever living, check facebook for the global rally cheques of your upline, notice how they have been going down year on year? The market reached saturation point in 2015, it's downhill since then and things will get worse, not better.

Most MLM's in the UK are at the same point, we are not a huge country and MLM's have reached saturation point.

@arbonnehun Anything to distract from the hammer blow of a top distributor quitting Nu Skin and who is now shilling for Doterra.

Wonder how many of the downline went with her?

Whiterangey · 06/06/2018 22:14

Looks like Yawn has got her claws into the Stella and Dot bot who is part of her networking group.

I'm guessing Yawn has told her that she isn't making money in Stella and Dot because Stella and Dot are rubbish but it's totally different in Forever Living.

Bots would never point out Mumsnet to their downline, what if they found out the truth?

All upline bots are getting bullied by haters all of the time apparently

Yawn is feeling the pinch #roots need doing
It okay though as I am sure a huge check is on the way

Sean1984 · 06/06/2018 23:06

Question for ex-bots , when you were introduced to the “buiness” and told about how to make money,that is RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT , surley would some say,maybe in their own heads, hang on this sounds like a pyramid scheme or close enough!!. Im just looking at the foto on a certain bot of 100 bots in a room and i remember the “parasite” had a photo up too of a room of potential “biz owners” and thinking if one had never heard anything about mlms before, surely there might be a few saying ummmmm this doesnt sound right!!

Who’s ready to invest either £250 or £1000 in Wig’s new Crypto scheme? INSANE PROFITS from this one! You’ll be a shareholder and the company will be worth BILLIONS in a few years!

Because all successful professional companies get their investment via a badly translated, copy-paste status on the Facebook page of a repeated failure of a scammer.

SIGN ME UP HUN!

Dogjustguffed · 07/06/2018 06:49

@ArbunneHun, we know it’s legit with Wig because there’s a legal contract and you can go to a random office in Seville and inspect some paperwork.

My bot friend is friends with Wig- a recent event. My friend moved away from the usual MLMs and is now firmly in the “get rich quick” crypto space. I can’t see her interacting with Wig’s posts but who knows what’s happening behind the scenes. My friend appears to be struggling financially now but thanks to her law of attraction bullshit mindset she isn’t saying much, seems to think that the next big thing is round the corner, and could be investing quietly behind the scenes.

It’s frightening.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 07/06/2018 07:22

I am off to a country fair next month, selling my own handmade products and so far sharing a marquee with Scentsy, Neals Yard and Tropic.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/06/2018 09:18

What has convinced me that Wig's latest crypto scheme must indeed be the real deal is that the trading fund is not kept in any old bank, but a huge bank.

Good enough for me.

Nakedavenger74 · 07/06/2018 09:39

Top Saba bot's page is hilarious. Someone's posted screencaps of the recent team call and everyone looks traumatised. Appears he wheeled out some kid to play guitar Confused

Needless to say the Scotland launch for new teamies is going well. 12 people 'going' and all of them existing bots (and most of them won't be going...)

Nakedavenger74 · 07/06/2018 09:46

His down lines pages are just depressing. Constant mindset posts and lives about joining groups and 'who wants to come to Scotland' and who wants a health and beauty party.
Same thing every day and not one response. So sad.

Twirlywooer · 07/06/2018 10:31

I've been off MN for about 6 months now so completely out of the loop (have NC now as well). Please could someone tell me why messiah was sacked from Vida?? And what is TSlife all about??

ArbunneHun · 07/06/2018 12:47

Allegedly sacked for bullying & rule-breaking @Twirlywooer. Accusations that he strenuously denies.

TS Life is his highly-hyped (by him), patronising (‘for the little guy’) new MLM that is going to change the world. If you like mint choc-flavoured protein shakes, that is.

Whiterangey · 07/06/2018 13:19

Salon is still with Valentus, photo of her having opened a delivery, i'm guessing it's new products, and arguing with her husband about who is going to use it or something equally bullshitty.

It's probably the K9 product that they sell.

PHD Bot appears to be using the death of Kate Spade to her advantage. I'm just guessing as I haven't got the stomach to actually watch the video, but the comments seem to indicate that is what she is doing.

moose23ishungry · 07/06/2018 13:50

I think the main reason yawn is ever increasing in size is because she's comfort eating, stressed about the diminishing income.

Even in the last clean 9 she did, she ate high calorie meals alongside the shakes. So we can't even blame the c9 for messing up her metabolism!

Jonsey32 · 07/06/2018 14:10

Just my opinion but I think some of the comments in regards to yawns weight are getting a bit too close to the bone. It’s getting quite personal now.

Whiterangey · 07/06/2018 14:21

It was during her last C9 that someone posted the TeamRH video link here, the one where he describes how the impressive weightloss occurs and why it's not actually fat loss and how it will go back on straight away because it's just water.

She started adding more food into it after that video was posted here so I think she must have seen it and was going to prove us wrong.

She then didn't go to the gym for a while afterwards, feigned illness, so i'm guessing she weighed herself before and told other gym goers that in 9 days she will have lost almost a stone, when she lost nothing because the C9 doesn't work if you don't cut out carbs and sodium she had to wait to go back until they had forgotten.

She doesn't come across as particularly smart and I truly think she had no idea that the C9 didn't work and that it is purely water weight that you lose.

I couldn’t give a shit how fat Yawn is. I just can’t stand her fawning and fake sincerity.

Norma27 · 07/06/2018 14:52

One of the Herbashite vultures I know has just put up a fb post for employees of House of Fraser to join her team. Bloody parasites.

SSDGM · 07/06/2018 15:07

9dartfinish · 07/06/2018 15:37

@Norma27 No doubt it'll be Poundworld staff next.

Norma27 · 07/06/2018 15:40

It will be poundworld next definitely!
She was already loaded living in a converted barn but no doubt people think it is earned from herbashite money.
She loves showing off her before and after pics too. Her before ones were just after giving birth tho.

Paddy1234 · 07/06/2018 16:06

Re : Yawns weight - I beg to differ, she has been hawking a £130 weight loss product saying how great it is and how it works for the last eight years. However she has put on weight. She has made a huge amount of money peddling her lies so I feel no sympathy. No one would EVER mention her weight otherwise but live by the sword, die by the sword.

Norma27 · 07/06/2018 16:30

I agree paddy. Nobody would mention yawn’s weight if it wasn’t for her constant lies. I have zero sympathy for the manipulative charlatan.

moose23ishungry · 07/06/2018 16:31

Agreed @Paddy1234 ! Although more fool those who have met her abs do sign up for a c9.

Twirlywooer · 07/06/2018 16:45

Thank you @ArbunneHun!

Also, is yawn the same person as browbot?
