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.

I thought sitting at home waging jihad in your pjs was a major selling point of being a network marketer. Grin

I agree it is shitty to drop Yawn because of ongoing weight issues and while I think her behaviour in (a) promoting her fake '6 figure' lifestyle game and (b) playing the (fake) bullying victim is reprehensible, I do have sympathy with the ongoing struggles with weight.

If Yawn is reading these pages, my advice is for her to firstly watch that BB1 programme "The Truth about Carbohydrates", which was on telly on Wednesday at 8pm. Its on catch-up for anyone in the UK to watch.

I learned about the effects of too many carbs (not just sugar, but starchy carbs like rice, pasta and potatoes) a couple of years ago and cut them out of my diet with spectacular results, which I am maintaining easily for over a year to date. I discovered that carbs can stimulate my appetite and depress my mood, without them I maintain a stable weight (size 12!!! from 24) and my mood is also stable. That's just me of course, but Yawn might like to consider binning the silly, useless supplements currently being promoted by FL ( and not just by MLM either).

BS, I actually commented on Castlebot's brothers' video on his YouTube channel at the time he posted that awful lie about his sister 'buying a castle' as a result of her 'income' from FL. Comments have been disabled since... Grin

Goldenkelpie congratulations on your weight loss and for rattling that lying little fecker. Grin

Good sensible advice and £130 quick fix - well done you

Just read the messiah's 'haters' post and the fawning responses 🤮🤮🤮 I don't suppose it's ever occurred to him that people may hate him because he's a cringeworthy cockwomble!?

BangingOn · 09/06/2018 12:47

Someone has actually compared him to Jesus in the comments. Please tell me it’s someone on here taking the piss?

Norma27 · 09/06/2018 13:42

Love the point that haters stay in their dressing gowns all day! He is such a twat!

Twirlywooer · 09/06/2018 13:52

What does The TS stand for? I'm way out the loop, so have been catching up. Didn't realise messiah and Mrs messiah started TSlife! Just watched his 'revolution' live from a couple of months ago 😂😂 I do have a life, just horrendous morning sickness so can't move much and this stuff is better than cat videos on YouTube!

Whiterangey · 09/06/2018 15:24

You are amazing @GoldenKelpie that is seriously awesome and well done for keeping it off. That is where the bullshit diets fail, you either stay on 1200 or less calories or you go back to your overeating, they don't make allowances for anything inbetween, like teaching you how to completely change your eating habits for continued weight management.

600 calories a day for the first 3 days of the C9? That's definitely not going to end in a binge when your body and mind is screaming for food. You've failed and you feel like shit because everyone else has lost lots, then you decide to do it again in a couple of months. at over £100 a time it's an awesome business plan.

We know Yawn saw the video that was posted when she was doing her C9 in January, we know she now knows how the C9 'works' and what will happen afterwards. She appears to have taken this knowledge on board and hasn't done the C9 since, yet she is still happily selling it to others.

I feel sorry for her but also not because she is making other unhappy and poorer to go along with their unhappiness.

Twirly I want to say its Total Solution but I might have imagined that. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Kelpie you’ve done so well, especially keeping it off. Out of interest have you reintroduced foods like porridge oats and blueberries?

Norma27 · 09/06/2018 15:52

I think it may stand for trading standards as they will probably be paying them a visit at some point!

Thanks, Banging on, whiterangey and BS, I don't do porridge or blueberries but do have strawberries and raspberries occasionally (I grow my own wild strawberries; they're small but spectacular flavour).

Last night I made roasted pork belly with courgettes and green peppers and my own home made coleslaw. Tonight it's chicken curry; saute mushrooms, onion, garlic in butter add thick double cream and spices (as much as you want Grin) serve with chopped roasted cauliflower seasoned with paprika. Tomorrow it will be omelette with bacon and cheese and all left over veggies from fridge. Do I miss the starchy carbs? No way Grin.

GoldenKelpie · 09/06/2018 16:50

Just looking at the bloodsucker's cheques for
2015 $1,043,649
2016 $1,032,931
2017 $ 891,271
2018 $ 756,687
What will 2019 bring, I wonder?

There's no doubt that, while the UK is now languishing, there are some juicy seams of suitably desperate people ripe to be exploited in many poorer countries without the protection of government legislation or any welfare state. And this bot is extremely good at mining these new markets in order to develop new downlines abroad. With no welfare safety net for these bots when it all goes pear shaped, this is particularly reprehensible Angry.

Whiterangey · 09/06/2018 17:01

We have been discussing on here about how Yawn no longer speaks at events, or even goes to them, she's no longer part of the in crowd at Forever.

Today she has posted a photo of herself holding a huge bouquet of flowers and has tagged forever uk events in the photo. She has said 'What a lovely surprise - thanks forever'.

How weird, we talk about how she is never asked to do anything by them and then less than 24 hours later she has flowers.

Although she doesn't mention who they are actually from. They are always thanking forever for everything they buy or is bought for them from a loved one, as it's always forever who have made it all possible.

Nowhere in that post has she stated that the flowers are actually from forever events.

Surely they would come from someone else in forever and the forever events facebook is just to list and bring awareness to all the many many events you have to pay to attend.

Why would they send flowers to someone who doesn't help them at any events by speaking for them?

I'm not calling bullshit, i'm just saying if it smells like bullshit, and looks like bullshit, it likely is bullshit.

Golden I’ve been low carbing for a while and love it. Porridge is one of the few things I miss.

White that does seem suss, what are they sending her flowers for if she’s not done anything recently?

Norma27 · 09/06/2018 17:35

Yawn is so funny. She has so bought herself those flowers. It is like watching a car crash with her and forever.
She is such a manipulative, scamming liar that I will never feel an ounce of sorrow for her.

GoldenKelpie · 09/06/2018 18:42

Great, banging nice to meet another low carber. I don't know what I miss, have to think about it. Don't miss the side effects of sugar and starch though

BangingOn · 09/06/2018 18:46

I’m only recently back on it after losing 4 stone a few years ago. I did keep the weight off but when I was pregnant bread was the only food I could eat without being sick and it went downhill from there. I’ve never been tempted by a C9 though!

Fence80786 · 09/06/2018 19:17

Yawn, your hair colour change won’t save you or reinvent you. As I said before you are falling from grace. You are no longer part of Uber’s set and aren’t invited to the VIP parties as nobody wants you. Heard your husband is still struggling to find a job. Well he has been out of his field for a few years now and the changes in IT would have moved on. Not long before the cars start going back and the house goes on the market. You may breathe air but you can’t use it to fund your fake lifestyle. I am sure that everyday that you look in the mirror you fear that this is the day when your life tumbled out of control as you can’t control the mounting debts. Shame none of your friends can support you as they are not far behind you. You are kindly providing them with a sneak preview of their fate....and that’s not pretty!!

Whiterangey · 09/06/2018 20:53

@Fence80786 I agree with all of your post except the friends bit. None of them have any real friends.

Yawn is likely just realising this, all of those people who would tag her in facebook, those who would gladly have her at their meetings and presentations, those whose homes she has visited will have dropped her like a stone now she is no longer a forever VIP.

Just like she's done to those below her when they have stopped being of use to her.

Her income must have dropped a lot last year, last January she talked about a trip to Iceland to stay in an ice hotel, she was saying she was going to go later in the year or just after christmas. She was telling those who were envious to put it on their dreamboards. It obviously wasn't on hers as it never happened.
