Am seeking advice so hope this is a good place to start as google hasn’t provided any answers and I thought I’d turn to the wisdom of MN.
Simple question: Is doTERRA a MLM?
A friend has mentioned this company as she has been buying their essential oils via a ‘Wellness Advocate” and because friend is well qualified and knowledgeable in relevant fields she has been “offered the opportunity to become a WA herself so that she can get a direct discount on the (VERY expensive) products”.
Do any of you know anything about this company?
I’ve got niggling concerns about her almost evangelical opinion about the fantastic products and credibility of the company. Are my concerns justified?

CodenameVillanelle · 19/06/2020 12:32

Yes it is absolutely a MLM. They advocate essential oils for all kinds of things that essential oils cannot treat including drinking them in water Hmm
Your friend will not make money

@Botbrigade
She is a motivational speaker in the USA who gets hired by different MLM's to speak at cult gatherings. Much like what The Ninja Networker does here in the UK.

FeeBeeBooh · 19/06/2020 14:26

BlackCatsRule88 · 19/06/2020 14:32

Firstname is in two parts. First part rhymes with Sassy and second part is the name of two of Henry VIII’s wives. Surname is the name of a shoe shop (minus the final letter).

BlackCatsRule88 · 19/06/2020 14:35

There is a BRUTAL thread on her on Tattle
(in the Instagrammers section). My goodness they do not hold back.

OMGisthisforreal · 19/06/2020 17:12

Villanelle thank you for your prompt reply.

FeeBeeBooh · 19/06/2020 17:26

I'm in this Facebook group & the bots are messaging the members.
The comments are amazing either very anti-MLM or hilarious "Tesco is a pyramid" bots

It’s a pain in the arse @FeeBeeBooh but so often the admins are bots too so can’t they see the problem or ban the person saying they don’t want MLM crap all over their feed or in their messages. It seems to be a particular problem with MLMs that seem legit to the untrained eye because they have a high street presence (Body Shop) or a long tradition before mutating into MLM (Avon). They are all over my local FB community or selling pages and even the admins that have agreed to remove Younique or Actilabs etc posts don’t see BS or Avon as the same thing.

I get virtually no approaches thankfully - I must give off a certain anti MLM vibe 😡.

TheHorseonSeventhAvenue · 19/06/2020 19:17

So 2 (ex?) FL bots now pushing Nu Skin like crazy. Today one of them has a review and gushing endorsement on one of the products from PHD.

Watch this space.

GoldenKelpie · 19/06/2020 19:28

Funky smashing Smile thanks for taking one for the team, please furnish us with regular updates here as I am still going through withdrawal from Nurse posts Grin

Also Castle downgrading her car. She says she’s wasted loads of money on cars over the last 6 years. Surely with all her success FL paid for her luxury vehicles on the car plan. Am I missing something?

CompleteBarstool · 19/06/2020 19:54

Another Friday, another "Bruv is back in Wales" post.

How can he get away with it? Travel to Wales is not currently allowed.

I have a friend who is desperate to visit her elderly ill parents in Wales but can't because you're not allowed to travel from England into Wales (further than 5 miles) or you risk being stopped by the police and sent straight back and/or fined.

According to Psychology Today there’s a link between eyebrows and narcissism. I can’t wait to see what they make of people who wear dungarees. Grin

@TheHorseonSeventhAvenue Castle is a lying liar who lies, as @Whiterangey (please come back, we miss you) so eloquently put it. We all know the Forever Fibbing car plan is merely a leased car which bots still have to pay for whether they hit their targets or not. How much money has this scamming madam wasted on leased cars and rented castles? I hope she learns the hard way that faking success to suck people into MLMs just to line her pockets will cost her dearly.

Bluewavescrashing · 19/06/2020 21:50

Bruv needs reporting. Tosspot.

Sforsh49 · 19/06/2020 22:33

Just had a scroll down the FB of the Bot who appears to be Broke's downline for his new venture. In 12 months there are the following MLMs featured:

CBD
Weight Loss Patches
Bodyshop
Weight Loss Coffee
Juice Plus
FM World
Broke's new one

And she had a bash at making her own soaps and selling them.

7, in 12 months........

Popihola · 19/06/2020 22:44

Broke just needs to disappear. All he does is post innuendos and it makes me want to vomit. He is absolutely foul.

Popihola · 19/06/2020 22:48

Broke fan club are weird as well. He's got so many females commenting on hisnposts but none of them can string a sentance together, they are all really dim. It's sad really.

Popihola · 19/06/2020 22:49

I know my above sentence wasn't great, but it's Friday and I'm as pissed as a fart 😂

fitgirl26 · 19/06/2020 23:43

Just popped on to Broke's profile. Saw the Spider-Man pic from earlier this week. Need brain bleach.

Paddy1234 · 19/06/2020 23:54

Never heard about Rachel Hollis before but just watch the video. Let's face it unfortunately they will just go into a new market of how to co-parent' successfully, all the time probably hating each other.

Paddy1234 · 19/06/2020 23:55

@whiterangey
We miss you, please come back when you are ready.
