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 just find it sad how forever can exploit those in poor African nations. As long as the likes of bloodsucker are lining their pockets they do not give a toss about lives they ruin.
In some ways I find it even more despicable when people who are from those countries are happy to exploit their fellow countrymen.
The person who died was apparently 6 years younger than me according to one post I read. I am 42. I actually thought she was a lot older. How can the young be so greedy? Or the old be so greedy for that matter.

Norma27 · 10/06/2018 15:01

Oh yes. The willable income. Has anybody so high up passed away before? Especially so young.

Whiterangey · 10/06/2018 15:27

They will exploit anyone they can, they really don't care about anything except making money.

In an MLM the only people who end up with a willable income are the owners of the MLM.

If all the FBO's disappeared tomorrow the owner, and his progeny will still have enough money for their rest of their lives, they are stupidly wealthy.

Without forever even bloodsucker will end up broke, i'd love to see that happen, that would be the best day ever.

Anyone see brokes bot and the big muscular guy politely calling him out on the spay which make u lose fat,oh god cant say that with a straight face!!!!

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 10/06/2018 18:47

@Sean1984 Brokebot was totally out of his depth. Credit to him for trying to answer though. Yawnbot would have just deleted

Sean1984 · 10/06/2018 19:02

That guy could have annihilated him, he clearly knows what hes talking about, me thinks they know each other well in real life,had it been another bot or random stranger, the post would have been deleted no doubt! I love how broke says that he done previous weigh lost companies and “alot of it is gimmick and fad”!!! Really!!! I thought every weight lost product hes touched for the last yr was great and fantastic, and soo many people lost weight from his previous snake oils..... HmmHmm

SSDGM · 10/06/2018 19:09

@Whiterangey yes, alcohol is expensive so a lot of pre-drinking goes on there. When I’ve been there in February it gets light about 10.30am and dark about 4pm. Not too much different to the Uk. In the summer the parties go on all night when it’s 24 hour daylight.

Whiterangey · 10/06/2018 20:00

One of Yawn's bots is getting married. Yawn has suggest a hen party group business presentation.

That would be thrilling.

Norma27 · 10/06/2018 20:09

A hen party group business presentation. I cannot think of anything worse. How deluded are these people?

BSintolerant · 10/06/2018 20:12

A hen party business presentation? Hen parties are bad enough without adding MLM schemes into the mix. Will Yawn bring her great big plastic cheque with her? You know, that one she didn't get in Dallas.

SSDGM · 10/06/2018 20:50

Did Broke accidentally go Facebook live while smoking a Jazz cigarette? It seems like it!

I thought his wonder oil had stopped his filthy habit? Or does that not count?

Sean1984 · 10/06/2018 21:03

I noticed that too,i think he did, great “biz owner”

Apparently the South African top bot who died was Castle's 'business bestie', they were very very close.

SSDGM · 10/06/2018 21:23

Broke is beyond parody. He’s a liar, a hypocrite and still a petty criminal.

ReformedBot · 10/06/2018 23:02

I've never heard of this FBO who has died, a quick FB search and Castle has only ever mentioned her once. Ive seen loads more people she met through FLP that you would think made them a business bestie.

It was Salon's baby shower yesterday. A significant number of her acolytes/previous acolytes were having a weekend away together instead.

ArbunneHun · 11/06/2018 12:48

It feels like Salon has been pregnant for about 2 years...

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 11/06/2018 13:11

It really does.

Whiterangey · 11/06/2018 13:41

She did have quite a few people at her shower, but as has been said, none of her old friends. Not even some who were her bridesmaids. One of which was her BFF throughout many schemes and is now a travel agent bot, she wasn't there but seems to have been on the weekend away.

She also has access to her husbands facebook account. On the status of the person tagged in Salon's status a man tags her husband. Her husbands facebook account replies and ends it with 'xx' which is an unusual way for a man to end his message to another man on facebook if they are both straight and married.

Eeeekkkk! Look how much weight I’ve lost in 10 seconds! All by breathing out in my first pic and in for my second. Just goes to show how easy it is to fake weight loss pics.

CheekySmile · 11/06/2018 16:53

U look ok hun

Whiterangey · 11/06/2018 17:00

Yup, you've definitely lost a couple of stones.

A real pro would have their arm down hiding the curvature of the back in the before photo as if you know what you are looking for you can see you are arching your back in the before. People get caught out a lot by doing that so they have learnt how to hide it.

It's also good for faking pregnancy pictures, i've seen that happen, which is very strange and very concerning. It's usually followed by a devastating loss for attention on forums.

I was trying to stand straight but because mirror is on the floor was really difficult when sticking tummy out. Amazing how easy it is to show such a lie tho.
Excuse my bad clothes and coats hanging over mirror. I was too hot so put any old light clothes on!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 11/06/2018 17:35

Oh but you're all so cynical .

If you were to try the C9 you'd lose pounds.....around 100-130 of them I believe. Wink
