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 both BFF and her husband’s names were on the cheque- was it not a completely joint business?

rainbowfudgee · 18/06/2018 19:04

I'm finding the memorial for the deceased FL adherent a bit distasteful.

Cozie are you ok??

Whiterangey · 18/06/2018 19:19

Suddenly she is everyone's BFF because she died. It's the MLM version of the latest celebrity to die suddenly being everyone's favourite celebrity in the world ever.

They will all forget here just as soon they have all fought over the pickings of her business. Though i'm sure if we came back in a year that willable income is keeping her husband in the style he is used to.

That will suck for the kids when the money runs out. There won't be a big cheque next year as without new business she will fall foul of the same rule that saw Yawn receive no cheque. I hope she had life insurance, although it's possible that as she was only in her 30's she hadn't thought about it.

Makes me think about our much missed CAM Sad

Broke’s Ex has been quiet for a while. That’s normally a sign that her latest scam has gone tits up.

I expect her next post to be announcing a new MLM...

ArbunneHun · 18/06/2018 20:28

They’re giving out cheques at the Vida convention in Las Vegas. Are they real cheques though, or just symbolic cheques???

And Eric Whorrrre is there too! Eeek!

Whiterangey · 18/06/2018 20:42

The photos for the Scottish Success Express are online. I am shocked. I know someone mentioned that there weren't many there, but I was still shocked at how few there are.

I noticed that Tax Bot and her partner spoke, probably about how to pretend everything is going well when your company is in insolvency and you owe a £55,000 tax bill.

It looks like about 200 people.

Yawn has tagged Forever Living Events in her latest photo as if to say she is doing something for them. I'm guessing that is rubbish or she is talking about her usual weekly cult meeting.

I still find it astonishing how fast Forever Living are going downhill. Each month it seems that it is noticeably worse and bots are becoming more and more desperate.

Ladiva1971 · 18/06/2018 20:43

and Broke's ex best Welsh buddy mate hasn't posted about elevate for a while either...…………..

ArbunneHun · 18/06/2018 20:52

Sacked-By-Ariiix has launched her own waist training/weight loss MLM! It’s really supportive and empowers women in the way that only wearing a cheap Chinese elastic waist-compressor can!!!

Maybe those rumours about her joining TS Life aren’t true after all. Or maybe she’s staying true to her vow to have more than one ‘income stream’ after the Arriiiiix disaster?

Spongebobette · 18/06/2018 20:55

My goodness the FL photographer had his work cut out trying to make that event look good.

dadandmum · 18/06/2018 21:06

Ah now I have managed to stalk some other higher ranking bots after someone posted about the VIP event where they were all handed a few bottles of pink gloop. I remember how bad some of their 'motivational' messages at success days were really, quite awful and very patronising.

BSintolerant · 18/06/2018 21:09

dadandmum when you said that Yawn's other bestie is now ringless is that because she's drunk too much aloe gel? That's enough to make anyone's arsehole go on strike.

Star1234567890 · 18/06/2018 21:25

I can't believe how small the Scottish Success Day is!!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/06/2018 21:43

@BS Do it for long enough, there's no sides to touch!

Guaranteed not to put weight on.

Whiterangey · 18/06/2018 21:44

What other bestie? Roomie still has a ring, not that i've personally checked to be honest. Are you talking about the person who spends a lot of time with Yawn's BFF, the one who runs a large branch of a certain national networking group that was formerly aimed at mummies?

dadandmum · 18/06/2018 22:16

@Whiterangey
As far as I can tell she has three

DogLoving Bestie - Had a baby about two years ago, OT used to play with hair, and they have moved house recently, she seems to have got another job doing marketing for a car company.

AudiBestie - Just got rid of her car, and moved to a smaller house after splitting up from her OT, two sons love Rugby.

RoomieBestie - Flew out to see Yawn not get a cheque.

BSintolerant · 18/06/2018 23:10

So Roomie flew all the way to Dallas to see Yawn not getting a cheque? That's a long way to fly for nothing isn't it?

I'd forgotten Yawn didn't get a cheque so I'm grateful for the reminder. Wink

Whiterangey · 19/06/2018 02:03

Well you are all doing a poor job of keeping people informed of the latest news in the MLM world.

Yawn didn't get a cheque and this is the first i've heard about it. The rally was almost 2 months ago.

Uber has been practicing her lying skills this week.

On Saturday she posted a photo of a huge expensive curved TV with the explanation that she doesn't know how to use it as she almost never watches TV. It was definitely not posted to show off her expensive TV, definitely not.

Less than 2 hours earlier she posted a live video of her tickling her child's stomach, in the background you can see the TV is on.

So yeah, it's super rare she watches TV, it had been over an hour since she last watched it.

They can't keep the shakes and C9 in stock at the moment according to Uber, it's not just her as i've seen the exact same thing on a few FL bots facebooks. She has definitely gone back to basics, while not watching TV, obviously.

There is also a lot less people in her Monday night cult session.

My nuskin bot was supposed to do her live giveaway at 8pm last night. For that terrible new fake tan they have launched.
For the whole 11 people who entered in the 10 day window available!
Doesn’t look like it has happened tho. She normally posts her shite every couple of hours so not sure how it is 11 hours since the draw and is not on her profile.

One of her bots went to a spa day on Sunday. Apparently was spending all night on her return getting thru her messages of people wanting products and to join the team. Yeah right! Let me just go and scratch my itchy chin!

fitgirl26 · 19/06/2018 07:50

@ArbunneHun - yes Broke's ex has a definite MO. Daily posts about how they have found the greatest, the best, the biglyest MLM ever. Post from the "anywhere office" (garden). Stealth boast about latest acquisition (kitchen/hot tub etc). Holiday pictures. Silence. Silence. Silence............Yay - daily posts about the next new MLM and guess what - it's the greatest, the best, the biglyest MLM ever. Rinse and repeat. I notice that neither her or Welshbot have mentioned crypto for a while.

SSDGM · 19/06/2018 08:38

Wig is making me laugh. “Join my pyramid scheme!” insert selfie TWICE.

They only had 4 days to join last Tuesday but could still join yesterday for some reason. You’d think now she’s going to be a grandmother she may want to look after her pennies a bit more.

Sleaze is MIA. She’s not even tagging him any more.

SSDGM · 19/06/2018 09:16

Bradford Bot’s coffee is so amazing you can feel loads better with just a few sips of a free sample.

She must be spending a fortune getting these freebies out to people.
