I bet Yawn would love half the comments and interaction on her posts that Castle has, she doesn't have a huge amount of comments on hers does she?

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 14/10/2021 20:56

Nurse has filmed herself unboxing the planner bundle she bought from Castle ....she's definitely not bought the network marketing version! Interesting...

I do wish she wouldn't punctuate her story narratives with that sniff though. Blow your bloody nose!

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 14/10/2021 20:59

I wonder how much that box of tat cost her!!

JohnStonesMissus · 14/10/2021 21:09

Nurse must have another account somewhere, I can see hardly anything on f/b or instagram, certainly no unboxing of planners, where are you seeing her stuff?

If you're like me she may have blocked you on Instagram (despite the fact I've never interacted with her Confused )

If you Google "Story Viewer Instagram" and go on one of the sites that come up you can view her stories anonymously and watch them there even if you're blocked

PieonaBarm · 14/10/2021 21:37

Well the planner bundle she has bought rrp's at £129 but Castle has it on offer at £46. Planner on its own is £22

JohnStonesMissus · 14/10/2021 21:41

Thanks I'll go and look!

PieonaBarm · 14/10/2021 21:52

@WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks don't worry she's blocked me too, again I've never interacted with her.

Spongebobette · 15/10/2021 07:59

She’s giving her hard earned money to Castle for bits of tat and it’s all pretend play

Inside the planner you can see there are pages to track social media activity
Keeps you busy noting down all your posts so you don’t notice the money not coming in

It's all a distraction from the reality of the scam.

2 more colleagues (teachers) are flogging mlm now. Avon and body shop. They are seriously time poor and probably can't afford to lose money either. It boils my piss that they're being taken advantage of 🤬

JohnStonesMissus · 15/10/2021 09:15

The way Nurse says "thanks Castle" at the end of the unboxing, I bet she hardly knows her, it so cringy.

fromdownwest · 15/10/2021 11:56

Watched Castle detail how she uses her new wonder pad.

  1. Writes down everything on her brain
  2. Numbers these in order or priortiy
  3. Writes down said thoughts in the newly allocated numbered system

So an efficiency diary that promotes duplication, you could not write it.

Maybe do that on a free excel spreadsheet and one click and its sorted!

The planner obsession recently (And I've seen other ads not just a certain ex FL bot) seems a bit outdated. I totally get the benefits of journaling by hand- free flowing thoughts, doodling etc but social media activity tracking? They could use Hootsuite (or there's probably a free service doing similar) and it would both track and post their content on a schedule... doing the tracking by hand you still also have to write the content online separately
JohnStonesMissus · 15/10/2021 22:03

I hope Nurse does set up a legit business and run far far away form MLMs..

Hunbot · 15/10/2021 22:03

Phd made a post telling people she could make them 100k in 21 days and to contact her for details. She has now done a retraction saying she didn't actually mean it - in the meantime she has lots of lovely email addresses from those desperate enough to believe her. Weren't they taught that if something is too good to be true...

If I were looking for advice like life coaching, I'd look for someone who succeeded through their own efforts. A person like that would have skills & knowledge that was actually useful.
I wouldn't consider taking advice from shysters who live off other people. So it makes me wonder who is taking life advice from someone like Sleaze, who has no knowledge or skills.

Angrymum22 · 17/10/2021 14:23

One of Yawn’s besties is back in the fold having gone back to a real job a few years ago. She’s all botted up again. She does, however have real world experience in real world marketing.

Spongebobette · 17/10/2021 18:06

Ah shame, Nurse has gone private on Insta

I’ll miss the daily application of makeup, overuse of ‘literally’ and the non stop commentary on how tired she is and how she is going to chill

Perhaps she’s gone private as she no longer needs to put herself out there to attract new recruits because she’s given up network marketing
I do hope so

VolcanicEruption · 17/10/2021 19:20

The bot that Yawns dragged out didn’t she work for a car dealers?
I also note that NoVowels has been dusted off. Getting desperate to drag the old timers in .
Had a nosy on fb marketplace and someone is selling a C9 and due to ill health can’t use it 😂 Uber still trying to fob off her I’ll gotten gains.

Lemming20 · 17/10/2021 20:47

Yawn is grim. Just totally grim. I am so glad I don’t know users like her in real life. Preying on the vulnerable is not a good business model.

I was wondering this too - surely there isn't a big enough market for them all to make a living from their life-coaching (or whatever the current trend is), or do they just charge such ridiculous sums that they don't need to suck many in (There was a life coach on Rich House, Poor House and he charged thousands per person for his sessions.)
Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/10/2021 08:41

In the case of the majority of MLM uplines, the coaching is just a further way of fleecing their botted downlines who regard them as semi-deities. Once you have them buying products, goal boards, planners, cheap clothing with hunspirational quotes, the next step is hot air. What goes on in the pyramid stays in the pyramid.
No one who hasn't fallen down the MLM rabbit hole would look at those clowns and think they have anything to offer.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 18/10/2021 10:37

Yawn has hit the nail on the head with her recent post:

"You gotta take that next step or you'll be doing the same shit for the rest of your life"

Lowly bots on the MLM treadmill take note, you'll be plodding along losing friends as you desperately try to recruit and sell, spending money you haven't got on over-priced products and going nowhere.

Take that next step ....away from Yawn, FL or whatever MLM you're with.

Spongebobette · 18/10/2021 11:59

And ironically Yawn has been doing exactly the same shit foryears and years - new team, new business launch, next steps to manager sessions

If you went back to this time last year or the year before or the year before that it’s all the same
