PS one of the things I find astounding about these MLMs (and Forever Living does this with C9s) is the way bots eagerly share, publicly, photos of themselves semi naked. I REALLY don't need to see your before and after pictures. It's a weird form of masochism.

BBC article on students making money to fund university: www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49295041 spot the passing reference to making a regular income through selling beauty and health products at parties...

It's a bit disappointing that a) MLMs are spreading onto university campuses still and b) the BBC have uncritically included the comment this implying it is a reliable way to make money when their own documentary revealed why MLM models don't work. It probably helps it's one of the MLMs that goes under the radar a bit because it is a traditional brand but, as far as I am aware, that doesn't make the MLM wing of the business any more likely to result in profit for the majority of participants than the purely MLM businesses.

Spongebobette · 12/08/2019 10:35

The student mentioned seems to sell Neal's Yard

As you say, well known brand but sadly the MLM part is a scam

I'm not sure how many fellow students can afford the products anyway.

Waitrose have one of their regular offers on at the moment, a third off.

JasperRising · 12/08/2019 10:43

Makes me wonder if she really does make a regular income... And I note that unlike the other businesses mentioned, they don't indicate an amount of regular income. But then I am a bit cynical after years of these threads.

gotmychocolateimgood · 12/08/2019 10:55

I think Bloodsucker is the only one making any real money out of it now.

Yawn looks like she's put on about 3 stone since the pic of her on the stage holding the flowers. Holiday could have been anywhere,nothing special or she would be bragging about it til the cows come home.

gotmychocolateimgood · 12/08/2019 10:59

I expect Bloodsucker has decent savings, mortgage paid off etc so when it goes tits up she'll be fine. Not so for everyone else though.

SSDGM · 12/08/2019 11:12

Broke is once again promoting a sleep spray containing (only available on prescription in the UK) melatonin AGAIN.

Spongebobette · 12/08/2019 11:23

Bloodsucker has been in this scam for many many years and knows precisely what she’s doing
She saw the writing in the wall in the UK earlier than most and started to expand in African countries
She’ll have salted away enough money to weather the storm

Spongebobette · 12/08/2019 11:25

Bots a level or two down from her did not plan so well; they have taken on big financial commitments in the belief that the gravy train would last forever (see what I did there 😉)

gotmychocolateimgood · 12/08/2019 11:31

Exactly Spongebobette, they wasted money and now must be crapping themselves.

So in the UK, one person is going to do well out of FL when it goes under. A handful more from around the world. Plus the family who own it all at the top.

I think Bloodsucker will be a hated woman when it all unravels.

leasedaudi · 12/08/2019 11:45

@gotmychocolateimgood I doubt that Yawn has been anywhere. She stayed put in the thatch. If she'd been somewhere we would have had endless photos of it all..

Whiterangey · 12/08/2019 11:51

Yawn doesn't need to lose weight, she needs to start loving her body and showing her children she loves her body. She had a tummy tuck on her goal board for crying out loud.

I don't understand it, they tell anyone who listens how brilliant they are, how they can do anything they want to, and you just need the right mindset.

Then those like Yawn make themselves miserable for years while being on a permanent diet all while gaining weight. Obviously she using bullshit crap to try and lose weight, so that won't work, but she'd be a lot happier if she just looked at herself and loved the way she looks now.

ticktock19 · 12/08/2019 11:59

Yawn has been away...there have been loads of quite lovely scenic pics on her instagram. Can't quite work out how long she's been away for though...a week at the most and they seem to have all stayed in a villa.

ticktock19 · 12/08/2019 12:02

Completely agree with you @White too...she does just need to accept herself and stop all the C9 nonsense...I wish she'd calm down on her eyebrows too 🙈

Norma27 · 12/08/2019 12:04

On 29 July you can see yawn is at home on her ‘promotion’ video. That is 2 weeks ago so she has not had a 3 week holiday at all!

ticktock19 · 12/08/2019 12:17

Ffs....she has just posted this though along with a pic of her and husband in the gym...realistic goals right there 🙄🙄🙄

9dartfinish2nd · 12/08/2019 12:29

The facebook page - The Anti MLM police has been following the recent Younique convention in the USA, Seems attendance was down noticeably on previous years, the page also alleges that Black Status presenters are trying to get bots to now purchase a block of 10 tickets each for next years convention.

This smacks of utter desperation.

9dartfinish2nd · 12/08/2019 12:32

That facebook page should have actually said "The MLM Police - Antimlm"

Spongebobette · 12/08/2019 13:55

Wow they are expecting bots to buy 10 tickets, upwards of 2k, and then recruit people to buy the tickets off them!???

gotmychocolateimgood · 12/08/2019 14:14

The Younique bot I know is 80% of the way to her target of tickets to the Bahamas. She's guilting her friends into buying the crappy purple handbag with rubbish makeup in it to build up her points.

Spongebobette · 12/08/2019 14:47

Oh Nurse

Advertising for 5 people to join her SUMMER team to make money for CHRISTMAS with DAFFODILS in the picture

She absolutely sucks at this

Check out this YT channel 'The Fox Hole' a great anti MLM channel in its early days, subscribe to increase its presence!

fromdownwest · 12/08/2019 17:52

A certain bot who lived in a castle posted a link to an article showing that MLM's are making a comeback in the Scotsman - one comment made - Not sure if they are a fan of MLM's! lol

I remember cousins Tupperware parties. Bought some prior to my wedding and still have it.That was before you could buy plastic containers everywhere.
