Anyone???

Signed, desperate for engagement

@Spongebobette you forgot the

(frequently found on the likes of bots like Nurse's posts)

CodenameVillanelle · 12/02/2021 16:59

Nurse et al don't understand that your engagement posts must be positive and aspirational. Social media influencing is ALL fake positivity and selling a lifestyle that isn't real. Yawn is relentlessly positive (apart from when the very occasional swear word pops out) whereas nurse is trying to get engagement on her moans about how cold and boring it is.

That's something I don't get either CompleteBarstool Yawn has been recruiting non stop but is only number 10

I wonder @Teddy1970 if it’s not just a numbers game but the type of pool you fish in. If you recruit someone who has a partner (for instance) who can prop up their FLP business and they can afford to buy themselves lots of product, can afford to keep plugging away at their “entrepreneurial” activities and survive the losses and crucially have friends with similar finances then that’s good news for the likes of Uber, whereas Yawn seems to be recruiting people who are much more precarious. Of course they’ll all scam anyone they can but I wonder if this is one of a number of differences between Yawn and Uber?

Spongebobette · 12/02/2021 18:01

Yes I think so

Uber has access to mummies with money - her kids are at a fee paying school
Yawn is scrabbling round recruiting absolute no-hopers who might spend a couple of hundred and be susceptible to the love bombing but can’t afford to keep going long term

Teddy1970 · 12/02/2021 19:44

You could be right YouokHun

YouokHun · 12/02/2021 19:50

Yes, I think Yawn’s churn rate must be higher. I’m slightly basing my assumption on one local example I have who is in Uber’s downline who has been plugging away at FLP for about five years. Zero engagement on social media and probably only self purchases and the odd pity purchases from comfortably off friends, who, while able to make a sizeable purchase are not loyal and are easily distracted by other rather more sophisticatedly marketed wellness shite. All this is propped up by a DH with a job in the City. I rather feel for her because I suspect she just wants the status of being a “business owner” and is prepared to pay for it, but I expect she knows in her heart it’s all bollocks. I expect her type of bot is to thank for Uber’s consistent high placing in the Scammer of the Year Awards or whatever they’re called.

Nurse has done an unconvincing Insta story join-me-in-business pitch

Spongebobette · 12/02/2021 20:33

If she’s been in FL since 2018 and it’s so great, why hasn’t she achieved a single bloody goal on her goal board?

Sforsh49 · 12/02/2021 20:48

Can't hear Nurses Insta live for the racket her little boy is making in the background. Don't get me wrong he's obviously having a great time but she's no idea how to do a convincing and engaging live.

Spongebobette · 12/02/2021 20:50

I think it’s fascinating to see the point at which she touches her nose

Teddy1970 · 12/02/2021 20:56

I thought Nurse has been in FL longer than 3 years, I'm almost certain of it.

She's just awful at social media! Say what you like about yawn but her social posts are just worlds apart from Nurse! Also if you look at the likes of Welsh bot, and compare to nurse and no vowels - they are hopeless. Why would anyone choose to sign up under them instead of under a yawn/Welsh/Uber etc!
Spongebobette · 12/02/2021 21:13

Nurse was definitely in FL in 2010 - there’s a photo of her onstage at a Success Day somewhere
I think she lapsed and started again under Yawn, who she would love to emulate

YouokHun · 12/02/2021 22:22

Nurse only owns up to 2.5 years in FLP on her LinkedIn and talks about it currently enabling her to leave behind her current part time career. I wonder how long she lapsed for? If she’s been at it for a decade that’s tragic.

Malin52 · 13/02/2021 07:58

My vulnerable man has done another live with his upline. Blue eyeshadow scrubbed onto eyes everywhere and wonky pink lipstick. 93 comments from other huns saying how well he is doing, looks amazing etc.

Bluewavescrashing · 13/02/2021 08:39

Nurse is tragicomic.

Vulnerable make up man has so clearly been taken advantage of, it's really sad and worrying. Those bots should be ashamed of themselves for using him.

tired2021 · 13/02/2021 10:47

Jeepers creepers please tell me nurse isn't suggesting that blokes sign their respective partners up as a Valentines gift?!

Teddy1970 · 13/02/2021 11:42

Where are you seeing Nurse's posts? I can see her Insta page but her f/b page hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks now, does she have another one that's private?

CompleteBarstool · 13/02/2021 11:53

@Teddy1970 - are you checking her Instagram stories as well as posts? That's the only place I really see anything as her fb posts are minimal (that I can see anyway)

Teddy1970 · 13/02/2021 12:22

Yes I look at Instagram but can't see the latest Valentine recruitment push?

What is instagram stories? Where would I find that? I watch Nurse on insta (but don't 'follow') don't see 'stories' anywhere. Do I have to 'follow' her?

CodenameVillanelle · 13/02/2021 13:29

Her stories are open. Just click on her profile pic on Insta

SycamoreGap · 13/02/2021 13:46

Is Far-Off Travel an MLM. Message on our local FB page is making my suspicious. I can’t find much about it online.

Sforsh49 · 13/02/2021 15:58

Nurse is just reposting what Yawn has posted about buying the one you love a business for valentines. No Vowels is the same.

Monkey see Monkey do!
