Castles 🏰 face has morphed again.
I thought Yawn was going to indoctrinate her DD into the bizniz?

fadethegrey · 28/06/2021 15:53

Not too sure that its the best career move for the kids of bots to want to get involved!

Spongebobette · 28/06/2021 17:20

Yes but they can be instantly successful if their mum places new recruits under them

Another first-rate article, this time about Avon which tends to benefit from the good name it had pre MLM

Yawn has been playing the FLP pyramid for long enough to know that anyone joining now has no hope of being anything other than personal consumption CC fodder.

She is, however, cynical enough to pretend that it would be a brilliant career move in order to rope in more victims...

Spongebobette · 28/06/2021 17:58

Yawn is sending Tiffany gifts to Lanzabot?

Or is this more recycled content?

Spongebobette · 28/06/2021 19:53

Very cheapest necklace on the website, I note 🤣

CompleteBarstool · 29/06/2021 11:37

I sometimes wonder if, within teams, they have a selection of expensive branded gift bags and boxes that they share between them to add authenticity to the "fake it 'til you make it" approach eg. bags to display in the car boot to show your haul from a shopping spree or an expensive gift for one of your team.

.....

Dear Uber ,
Please can I borrow the Louis Vuitton gift box for a fake wallet I picked up on the market - I'm planning a post about spending money on treating myself,
Lots of (fake, because we know we hate each other really) love
Yawn

Can I just say

Teachers do not want any of your shitty MLM products as presents

A nice card is fine

Teachers are not a vehicle for you to offload your extra stock, lend legitimacy to your ‘business’ or be part of a prospecting strategy

BSintolerant · 29/06/2021 13:59

Don’t give them ideas CompleteBarstool!Grin We know how the MLM Law of Reaction works. It’ll only be a matter of time before the top bots set up an agency for the little people to rent designer clothes, invisible cheques, white cars, handbags, castles, tattoos, bot potties and schmuck: it’s all in the best possible taste. Grin

The real money’s to be made by the shadow pyramid made up of tools, props and monkey-see-monkey-do training. They could make a killing.

Spongebobette · 29/06/2021 15:05

Just thinking about the poor offspring of bots, who have been brought up thinking that appearance is everything, social media is god, designer goods = success and education isn’t worthwhile because you can join an MLM, become a ‘coach’ or an influencer and make loads of money

Eg Yawn’s daughter having a goal board a while back with ‘being a model’ and a list of possessions she wanted. A real reflection of the values her parents have instilled in her.
And Lanzabot’s daughter being allowed an Insta account from about 14 years old to pose endlessly in a bikini and try to do the attraction marketing thing. She ought to be applying for university not aspiring to coach people, for goodness sake. These people are so shallow; I’m constantly taken aback
(and of course anything that looks as though it’s charitable activity is just another ploy to increase CCs or recruit)

I've been thinking about this concept of 'passive income', i.e. doing little to no work while the money just rolls in. And I've been thinking about whether it is actually possible in the slightest.

I work with wealthy people a lot, and the ones who have this 'passive income' are, without exception, the people who have already worked their whole lives running a business. They have then sold the business and retired, and they and their families can live off the income generated from the huge capital sum they've received.

That is the ONLY exception. Every single other person in the world has to work. There seems to be a bit of an online movement, not just in MLM, of promoting, falsely, to people that it is possible to get rich for doing nothing. It absolutely is not. I feel this did, once, used to be a well known fact...

Spongebobette · 30/06/2021 18:12

Yes it’s completely illogical to think you can put in 3-5 years into an MLM and create an income for life

The top bots, who’ve been in Forever Living for YEARS, or even decades like Bloodsucker, are still hustling like crazy

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 30/06/2021 19:56

Why does PhD post videos of a coffee coming out of her machine with the day of the week on it? Most people I know have coffee but don't feel the need to share. How dull.

I have seen quite few ads for non MLM passive income and as far as I can tell (they are generally pretty cryptic) they mean setting up some kind of online course/membership/subscription. The idea being once you've done the initial work, it keeps running. I am rather sceptical as to a) whether there is that much market demand and b) whether it is really that passive.

However, I have never dared sign up for any of the freebies to find out for sure as I am wary of handing my details to anyone who is clearly going to try and get me buy something off the back of the freebie (and who won't clearly tell me what they are selling without signing up for the freebie).

So Covid has visited Uber’s territory. I thought she had loads of Aloe.
The photo she has used for her Deal or no Deal post is exactly the same one she has on fb marketplace which has been up for weeks.

CheekySmile · 01/07/2021 15:04

I run a membership site. I have recurring income not passive income. It’s bloody hard work and you have to provide value to keep your members paying each month.

You see that is more what I would expect. Even if you come up with a really good online course that people want to buy, it will eventually need updating or a new course. And members tend to expect something for their membership. I don't mean to say that the people who specialise in passive income would deny the hard work (when you've signed up) but I do find the word passive confusing. To me passive income is having a trust fund or investments that bring in enough interest to live off. I can't think of much else passive.

And as for boys saying they earn money in their sleep like that's novel and special. Nope that's how global, online shopping works. And only works if you put in the hard work while you're awake...

CompleteBarstool · 02/07/2021 18:30

Is Uber having some sort of mid-life crisis with these Insta reels.

Jeez , my kids would disown me if I did that Grin

Also, apparently her youngest didn't test positive but just has a virus. Poor kid did not look at all well on yesterday's Insta story photos - really tired, run down with red and sore looking nose/mouth. Clearly the daily aloe isn't working.

fromdownwest · 02/07/2021 19:12

@CompleteBarstool - They are quite something to behold, i have to watch them over and over in a strange kind of fascination!

Truly cringe!
