Interesting that bbl seems to be leaving Juice plus behind and branching out into her shop. Not a fan of the stuff she sells but she seems to have the sense to get out of MLM

Spongebobette · 15/09/2019 12:25

Yes a lot of tight shots by bruv except for one with an empty floor which shows how grim the whole thing is.
Artificially created ‘excitement’ and whooping for a few minutes while the FL celebrities are on stage, that’s all
I have been thinking how clever FL is; they create a situation where women can feel like a celebrity and can talk on stage as though they have some pearls of wisdom to share and it makes them feel fantastic, important and valued.
Nothing at all that was said yesterday had any value; it was all exhortations to believe in yourself, build a team etc etc.
The jewel bot talked about her team meeting where they all share their ‘activity’ for the next week. This consists of posting on FB, thinking up ‘special offers’ and competitions, doing lives, listening to mindset crap etc etc
None of this bears any relation to real business. It is literally busy-ness, to keep them occupied with tasks and challenges so they keep on buying product.

Spongebobette · 15/09/2019 12:34

......and .....once again we have reached the ‘I was a broke childminder’ part of the Yawn story cycle. Soon we will have the ‘I overcame being bullied’, then ‘look I have my dream house’ and ‘look at my big cheque’ (oh, hang on....)

Rinse and repeat.

It really is like Groundhog Day and shows how quickly new recruits fall away, she can recycle the same stuff over and over,

SnoogyWoo · 15/09/2019 13:35

On Bruvs pics they are all wearing headphones! What’s that all about?

MLMsuperfan · 15/09/2019 13:36

Can anyone decypher why Broke isn't going to the CBD convention? Something about people from Hannabis going and he might punch them? What's the story there?

SSDGM · 15/09/2019 14:01

Broke is broke. He can’t even make it to the shops.

Is his ex letting him sleep on the sofa again?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/09/2019 14:26

His snake oil being snakier and their pyramid being more pointy.

I think they may have poached some potential mugs biznis partners.

BTW, I can't seem to find his biznis page anymore?

Smells like recruitment Hmm

BishBashBot · 15/09/2019 16:00

Recruitment to what? I'm an EX BOT

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/09/2019 17:18

Sounds like a aloe plant.

BishBashBot · 15/09/2019 17:34

Hahaha, no I don't want to see another aloe plant again!

No, but seriously. It's quite interesting that when @ReformedB0t posted an AMA about her negative experience - all the comments were "wow thanks so much for sharing" and thanking her for opening up.

But, just because my experience wasn't as negative as hers - everyone's jumping on and saying it's suspicious.

Weird.

You all seem so obsessed with FL, some of you have been screening FL bots FB pages for many years and posting on here like its a soap opera.

I thought you would be interested to hear another opinion from an Ex Bot!

Whiterangey · 15/09/2019 17:42

A strong start, posting the AMA here so we'd take a look. After that I found viewing the AMA thread tedious. From the start it was unbelievable, the author failed to draw the reader in slowly as one should.

This offering was from the writers of Lose 20lbs in 5 days and quite frankly it showed. There was no point to the thread, it's an AMA and every answer is a differing version of "It's absolutely bloody brilliant and you make lot's of money". It could have been done better by a robot set to repeat "I love forever living, I am a bot, ask me anything, aloe is my master" over and over again.

Although I believe Tarantino's next movie will be exactly that.

So in summation, a very poor attempt, it's disappointing and an obvious attempt from a low down bot to impress their upline.

I'm going to give it 2/10 and that's only because it's got me out of doing the laundry while I type this out.

BishBashBot · 15/09/2019 17:48

Hahaha, just spat out my drink!

Thanks for the score. I probably could have done better, but its the crap and dull questions being asked.

ReformedB0t · 15/09/2019 18:45

Being in FL wasn't all bad, I've never said it was. But I'll tell you two things - 1. Any money ANYONE makes is always at a cost, topped up at least with personal use. 2. All new friends in my upline vanished when I left Forever. There were times in Forever I felt amazing and powerful but then guilty at the juggling act I had to do with my family. I convinced myself it would be worth it, but it wasn't was it? Maybe it was for you BishBashBot if you made money. We all know now, wether they admitted it to themselves or not, uplines were and still are lying about how business is booming and would happily see both you and me re-enter a dying business in order to boost their own earnings whilst convincing us we are their friend.

Whiterangey · 15/09/2019 19:58

Why are renovation instagram pages all the rage among bots at the moment?

Yawn has one and she's making out like she's renovating her house but she did it 2 years ago. That is really odd.

Castle and Sis also both have one up.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 15/09/2019 20:21

BBB I'm fairly sure I know who you are. If you're who I think you are then you had a real knack for recruitment but it took all your time and damaged your relationships with friends, family and husband.
That's the reality that those who want to make money need to know.

Spongebobette · 15/09/2019 20:28

It’s a rotten horrible business model and the fact that someone likes one or two of the products is immaterial.
The only way to make money is in recruiting others.
Triangle shaped.

leasedaudi · 15/09/2019 20:42

@Whiterangey welsh rarebot also has a renovation Instagram. I think everyone got the memo about the focus on renos this year!

RogueApostrophe · 15/09/2019 20:54

They're all going to say that they took a year off to focus on renovations, hence the lack of cheque in Australia.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/09/2019 20:56

Yawn's Reno one is just plain odd. It's all worded as if it's happening now.

The post with the old dark tiles talks about them working with what they've got (ie. painting over the tiles) because they're planning a huge kitchen extension in a year. Erm....didn't they do the kitchen a couple of years ago?? Which means the huge extension is well-overdue.

Also, I notice that Yawn has hidden all her fb posts pre-July this year - is this to stop people looking back and spotting the lies and inconsistencies? To stop people noticing the lack of cheques?

leasedaudi · 15/09/2019 21:05

LOL @RogueApostrophe cynical much? 😝

RogueApostrophe · 15/09/2019 21:08

We all know they've gotta start coming up with some creative reasons for the shit show that will take place in Oz.

On another note - Sis has a new build so is that really of interest for renovations? You just tell the builders what you want from the catalogue and boom, they stick it in there!

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 15/09/2019 21:29

Yawn should hide her old posts. A few weeks ago she was back to a size 14; I am not body-shaming!

Either she is lying about how much weight she lost on the C9 or the C9 changes do not work and she has put on a few dress sizes in weeks.

My favourite clever bot is like ... waffling, like ... self-centred rambling, like ... inarticulate, like ... hair-flicking, like ... inconsistent.

She will fail as she now states it’s a great business model but up lines are flawed and she knows better.

No, there are people in Utah who have honed this to perfection and will always win.
