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.

House of colour is a very reputable franchise not a mlm

YouOKHun · 29/05/2018 22:51

HoC doesn’t appear to have a recruiting element and appears to be a franchise. Colour Me (or Colour Me Beautiful) is mlm now and rife where I live

BSintolerant · 29/05/2018 23:18

House of Colour is a franchise, it's very good. It's definitely not MLM.

Welshbot for FL - top three but not castle, is travelling all over the country now doing launches and pamper parties. Dover now from Wales. The job doesn't look like it works around her one year old with the miles she is putting in at the moment. Last desperate acts to pay for finishing the barn conversion.

cozietoesie · 30/05/2018 00:47

It's a treadmill.

Lonelybutnice · 30/05/2018 07:04

Anybody follow 'Eric Worre - network marketing pro' on fb? He's just posted a video of him interviewing Richard Branson. RB is staying that network marketing is the future and will create the most jobs for the next 20 years! Confused

Which product does Salon flog?

ArbunneHun · 30/05/2018 09:56

That’s the big question! Salon has yet to formally denounce/leave Valentus, but hasn’t referenced it publicly for ages either. I’m pretty certain she’s still collecting commission & bonuses from what is left of the UK business, until the next big thing is announced.

Doubt she’ll make a public move until after her baby is born, so I’m predicting late Aug/September. Assuming TS have cleared her to do so, that is.

Anyone know an MLM launching around that time..? Wink

aevin · 30/05/2018 11:47

Was Salon the bot who used to flog LTW?

SSDGM · 30/05/2018 12:16

Yes, Arbunne, I wonder if there will be an MLM descend from on high, just for her?

BangingOn · 30/05/2018 12:26

If only there were some form of mint choc miracle on the way...

What shocks me the most about Salon, is that people still actually kiss her back side at every opportunity. They believe she is self made wealthy. SHE INHERITED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS!!!! How many times does this need to be said. She has made serious money from conning people yes, but all this bull shit of a single teenage mum struggling in a salon on a hot summers day facing depression was made better by MLM... Not true. Thats just an easy way to entice people, much like Yawm with her child minder bollocks.

I don't get what people see in her, you can see she is dead behind the eyes. Absolutely stuns me that people see her as a role model.

Has anyone come across FM frangrances? This has recently appeared on my Facebook courtesy of my cousin. Is it genuine or dodgy?

Norma27 · 30/05/2018 14:05

FM fragrances are a dodgy mlm. I

ArbunneHun · 30/05/2018 14:12

One of Salon’s former #Diamonds is now #smashing FM world. Very few posts about the product, lots of posts about the size of her team, number of promotions etc.

It seems to be knock-off perfumes, cosmetics & oven-cleaner. Which is quite weird, when you think about it.

Norma27 · 30/05/2018 14:52

We mentioned recently about the lack of yawn’s gym pics lately. Somebody also mentioned she hadn’t been putting up any of the pets and children lately. I was just thinking still no pics, and also none of her ‘renovated’ house lately. I wonder why? Especially as it is half term and presumably spending lots of fun time together as allowed by the bizniz.

SSDGM · 30/05/2018 15:29

So Broke links to an article in the Sun (isn’t he from Liverpool?) that says some wife of a rugby player “cured” her Hodgkin’s lymphoma with CBD oil and intermittent fasting. Ooh, and stem cell treatment provided by the NHS. But that’s not important, clearly.

Then, under the same piece there’s evidence that people who use alternative medicine to treat cancer are twice as likely to die as those who have chemo.

Also: she’s not “cured”. She’s in remission.

He boils my piss.

YouOKHun · 30/05/2018 15:50

Yes, proper people don’t use the ‘cure’ word. I’ll take R-CHOP chemo over Broke’s snakeoil any day. It’s this sort of shit which makes me finally lose my sense of humour with these bots. Someone out there is being given false hope by the Brokes of this world, spending money they needn’t, possibly delaying treatment and possibly straying from their treatment protocol or what is safe while having EVIDENCE based treatment. All so the Brokes of this world can (fail to) make a quick buck.

Norma27 · 30/05/2018 16:15

How excited do bots get over a cardboard box with some grass drawn on it?! Amazing new packaging by our favourite aloe shite company.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 30/05/2018 16:40

Norma I think I was one of the posters who noted the lack of children, pets and house photos from Yawn.

It is very strange when you look at her previous posting style which was several photos a day of all of the above and now zilch.

My theory is that she knows the lifestyle is going sooner rather than later so, rather than the boast posts dwindling and having to maybe admit to a downsize of house or car, she's cutting them out now and sticking to posts about business/team/aloe shite etc. That way it won't be as obvious (well, to the uninitiated anyway. Nothing bypasses us lot!)

Norma27 · 30/05/2018 16:51

That’s what I was thinking kenny. So different now to her posting style pre Dallas trip.

ArbunneHun · 30/05/2018 18:09

Look huns! A new (to me) pass-agg, guilt-trip, copy-paste MLM status!

Yay!

If some bots have teenage children I wonder if they can quite rightly say they don't want to be featured in photos on Social media?

Spongebobette · 30/05/2018 18:54

Blimey @Arbunnehun that’s awful and so American, you’d think bots would take the trouble to adapt it!
