MLM Botwatch 55

Yes, thread 55 in a long series!
Thinking of joining an MLM? Forever Living? NuSkin? Younique? Valentus? One of the cryptocurrencies, weight loss coffees or travel agencies?
Read these threads first!
The vast majority of people who join an MLM actually LOSE money.
You don't have a business when you join an MLM, you are an unpaid rep.
On these threads you will find lots of examples of how 'uplines' lie to hook you in and keep you spending your own money.
You should also inform yourself by looking at

Sorry, you mentioned the ninja. Time for a rant.

The Networking Ninja is a abuse enabler.

He takes abused reps under his wing. Reps who are demotivated, down on their luck, struggling to sell and recruit and who are emotionally struggling with the stress of it all. Often the MLMs funnel reps to him. To keep down their fall-out rate.

He then spits out his self-development bullshit and pretends that he could build a downline himself when really he'd be just as fucked as all the reps he preaches to. He gives them false hope, tips which sound great, but in practice don't yield any results. He's just a performer. His act is pretending that network marketing is the best thing since sliced bread. But it clearly isn't, otherwise he'd be doing it.

Fact is. He is prolonging a very bad situation for the reps he preaches to. He is the bringer of continued failure and further heartache. He enables MLMs to abuse their distributors by legitimising the whole affair.

I bet the family of these reps must hate him more than I do. Imagine watching your daughter struggle at MLM and be pushed to breaking point, and be close to quitting.....but then go to one of his conferences and come back all invigorated and full of new action plans and resiliance and fortitutude. And even more stubborness to continue and succeed.

Only for them to fall flat again and be even more in a downer the next time. Then they'll probably go back to him for a top-up. The ups get higher and the downs get lower.

When really they should have quit ages ago to be free to this abusive situation.

The ninja is seriously a bad bad person.

so that they gain new found try harder in their MLMs. He legitimises a very illegitimate industry

Someone I vaguely know has changed her job told on LinkdIn to “Global Business Developer” at Kannaway.
There goes another bot...

9dartfinish2nd · 05/12/2019 15:00

Was Ninja involved in an actual MLM?
.... and if the grass was so green there and you were supposedly earning the big bucks why would you even contemplate doing anything else.

Broke’s back with a woe is me tale and still thinks he is going to Indonesia to work.
I sense delusion in this one.

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 05/12/2019 16:40

I'm sorry, Broke is becoming a 'professional escourt'????ShockShockShock

Spongebobette · 05/12/2019 17:01

Sorry Nurse but my drinking budget is for wine/Prosecco/gin especially for my birthday on the 31st so I’ll pass on the gunk thanks.

CodenameVillanelle · 05/12/2019 18:11

A professional escourt Grin

Whiterangey · 05/12/2019 18:37

I've got nothing against sex work as long as it's consensual obviously, who would pay Broke though?

Whiterangey · 05/12/2019 18:41

I'm also really hoping that Yawn posts photos of herself in a bikini. I don't like her, obviously, but would love to see some body positivity from her, for her daughters sake and for her friends list.

Yes ninja has a background in a company called Sherlock and if you google his name and the word scam he appears as a topic of conversation alongside his dad as sleazeballs.

He calls himself a second generation marketer due to his dads success decades ago.

Ninja broke into the scene with his coaching when his dad was retired and living in some huge house that ninja often uses in videos as an example.

He built up his audience and then his dad jumped out of retirement and they both joined some forex trading mlm and flocks of bots jumped on board... because these two could guarantee success HmmI believe bacon bot called him out on it, after all she introduced her downline to him and they weren't getting the duplicated success that apparently is so is easy in Ariiiiiiiiix so they followed lord ninja.

I have a friend who is also ex mlm at one point struggle in the forex mlm because if you didn't recruit three people who were putting in $200 to trade with every month you had to put in the $200 yourself.

She didn't have this money, single mum of 3 struggling to find a job. When ninjas dad heard about this his sensitive words were "it's not my fault she hasn't got a pot to piss in" I heard the voice note myself.

Ninja thinks this is just fine.

If you look at Ninjas company house accounts it's not that impressive if he was that good in marketing he'd be much better off after 4 years of being on the bot coaching radar.

Both ninja and his dad are soulless and will drain a bot of every penny and tell them it's all their fault when they inevitably fail and quit.

Ninja builds his audience off of cliche inspirational quotes on his Facebook then sells some god awful book full of stuff that most bots have bought and read from every other coach on the mlm circuit grid and the brainwashed bots just lap it up and tell him
he's a god.

In other news I've just had a parents evening. Not once did my child get told to manifest her success in her GCSEs 🤨

YouokHun · 05/12/2019 19:13

Nurse had more engagement on the bin post that she's ever had on Forever posts. A scroll though her business page shows that the lat time anyone commented (excluding her mum) was August. And even that was from another bot

So true @nakedavengeragain. I follow a particularly vulnerable woman who has been sucked into Younique. She’s obviously well liked and her non MLM posts get 20-30 likes. Whereas her Y posts get 0 engagement, the most I’ve seen is 1 like from her upline. It’s sad to see and I wonder if Nurse has noticed the difference in engagement. If she could start questioning that alone it might be a start.

YouokHun · 05/12/2019 19:16

There’s only one court Broke will ever see ...

MLMsuperfan · 05/12/2019 19:32

I thought Broke was on the sick (bad back) and couldn't work (fine to lift weights in the gym though).

Perhaps escourting doesn't require him to put his back into it.

What woman in her right mind would use his "services"?

MLMsuperfan · 05/12/2019 20:32

I thought that Broke's sex worker ambitions were just laddy banter (absolute ledge that broke, what a top geez, could be the next Clarkson) but he's mentioned it a few times now and not developed the joke (or even the spelling).

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 05/12/2019 20:58

I think he actually genuinely believes that women would pay for his, erm, company Confused

BSintolerant · 05/12/2019 21:31

I’d pay him to stay away. Should we have a whip-round? Grin

Sforsh49 · 05/12/2019 23:10

Broke advertising puppies for Christmas. Reported.

He makes my skin crawl if I am honest.

His videos are just the same inane recycling of keep trying and you will succeed. What blows my mind is the amount of people who seem to enjoy his work?

leasedaudi · 06/12/2019 06:46

Not as bad as homeschool's husband. Who's got into wearing dungarees, like a toddler 🤔

leasedaudi · 06/12/2019 06:47

I think he's trying to rip off the NN with his glasses and creepy "quirky" attitude though
