MLMs/ Network Marketing: Thread 45

999 replies

Spongebobette · 05/12/2018 12:24

This is the 45th thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, Valentus, TS Life, Monat, Stella and Dot, Tropic, various slimroast/weight loss coffee MLMs and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs.
The reality is that 97% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

Also her shed office is no longer needed?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/12/2018 14:55

And a large amount of timing working even though she was taking December off Hmm

Interesting to hear that Roomie is still quietly working her bizz in the background (someone on this thread said they were messaged by her). Her fb is largely unused and her 2 Instagram accounts and twitter are focusing on her new careers as an author, speaker, property developer, campaigner, "entrepeneur" (yep, still spelled incorrectly) and , get this ...."resilence" mentor (FFS get spellcheck Roomie!!).

I'm surprised she's got time for aloe shite whilst busy doing all that!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/12/2018 16:06

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny - I haven't got Instagram to check, but if Roomie now describes herself as an entrepeneur, is that a step up from her previous status as entrapeneur? Maybe there is something to this being an author thing - like limiting the spelling mistakes in each word to one.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/12/2018 17:27

Twentytwentyhindsight ... my mistake! Sorry to disappoint but I've just checked and it's still "entrapeneur" so it seems she has learned nowt.

She's obviously too busy multi-tasking in all those roles to have time to spell things correctly. I mean, it's not as though it matters when trying to look like a professional business woman...does it?

BSintolerant · 29/12/2018 18:15

Roomie's a resilence mentor? So now she's a geneticist. Wonders will never cease.

SSDGM · 29/12/2018 20:52

Broke seems to be swerving the question about where he’s living at the moment.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/12/2018 21:16

20-year old Vauxhall parked round the corner. Living the MLM dream.
His partner doesn't seem to have a voice and seems desperately vulnerable.
Good for her if she is able to lay down some rules...

BSintolerant · 29/12/2018 21:20

Is it a white Vauxhall? Grin

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/12/2018 22:33

OMG Yawn is a blatant liar.

She has had the audacity to post "I have loved this time out, I stopped working at the beginning of December, to give myself a massive recharge...."

She's worked throughout December, she's recruited family in December, she's posted trying to sell C9 and cleaning products in December.

I can only presume that she knows her "followers" are so short term that they don't stick around on her fb for more than a week or two to catch her out on her lying.

Spongebobette · 29/12/2018 23:12

Does @DoraExplorer know if Yawn qualified for Chairman’s Bonus?

Yep yawn you have definitely had the whole of December off. How stupid does she think people are? She hasn't stopped peddling that aloe shite.

I agree, she would be bragging. It's just like last year when she said absolutely nothing and we're only found out when she didn't walk across the stage.

That is interesting about Uber. How much roughly would a level 2 cheque be?

DownThePan · 30/12/2018 10:36

I think Level 2 goes from about 35k up to the high 100s so it's a broad range. This is just a guesstimate based on cheques I've seen online.

Do they adjust the awards each year? I saw a photo of Level 1 from 2014 at 45k but then a more recent cheque for Level 2 at 39k in 2017.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 30/12/2018 10:48

The amounts for each level are all a share of the profits made in the country they operate in.
Since FLP UK profits have been going south rapidly in the last years, the amount available in bonus at each level has also been falling.

Yawn on Wednesday: I'll be taking 3 days out and limiting my time on social media.
Also Yawn: Posts 21 status updates.

Whiterangey · 30/12/2018 11:40

$200k would be a pittance compared to what she is used to getting. I wonder if she had saved and invested wisely.

What range is castle likely to be?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 30/12/2018 13:36

Judging by Yawn's Highlights of the year post she was given a lot of commas for Christmas and has a surplus of them to sprinkle around with gay abandon.

BangingOn · 30/12/2018 15:07

Iron Bot is raving about her own appearance, attributing it to Juice Plus. No “expensive caddy energy crap” apparently, which I thought was the very definition of JP.

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 30/12/2018 15:10

I honestly don’t know how Yawn has time for anything given how much she posts on Facebook - she must be on her phone literally constantly as she will have to monitor comments and delete negative ones. Likewise with other bots that are on social media all the time.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 30/12/2018 15:44

Not to mention the time spent trying to get a perfect selfie!!

All that posing and using filters takes time.

Whiterangey · 30/12/2018 16:57

I just realised that Yawn has done best amounts up to June 2018 early. She currently owes £189k in directors loan accounts. She will have to pay that back by March.

I can't work out if she earned more or less than the year before though.

Spongebobette · 30/12/2018 17:47

Well if you wanted to end the year on a bang you could wait till New Year's Eve to announce proudly that, despite taking the whole of December off, you have qualified for CB
