PS one a MONTH is not great value

basically her reading something she’s found on the internet

and there are millions of free ones to be found

It's absolutely pitiful isn't it, one presentation a month and one medicated meditation a month. Truly comical that anyone would consider that good value when as you say there are 1000s of podcasts / YouTube presentations available for free

ticktock19 · 16/10/2024 18:20

I'm following a Law of Attraction instagram page now after Yawn linked one of their posts in her stories and she mainly seems to repost their stuff with that ridiculous picture of her waving that stupid wand superimposed on top

Spongebobette · 16/10/2024 18:25

Yes she’s the queen of plagiarism

YouOKHun · 16/10/2024 18:33

I could do the next presentation on her weight loss using all the screen shots of her weird House of Mirrors tweaked photos. She removed all the weight loss content from her Expired page (now named as Yawn's Unlucky Club). Presumably this is because her audience has got to pay to sit through what was rammed down their throats for free just a few months ago. Once the 6.5 stone weight loss talk has been done there is surely nothing else to fill a monthly chat?

I find some of the things she has left on her Expired Revived page quite telling. The photos are from the days when FLP was over the best but not quite so visibly declining and before Yawn began to really suffer. There is one photo of a white Rangey she claims to have bought as a present for her parents which is not something I remembered. Lots of hard luck stories about car accidents and lots of lies but content that might convince someone new that she is a successful biz woman. So much for the talk of being authentic.

And lots of photos of her not looking particularly overweight going back years

which were all filtered and photoshopped and taken from clever angles

reality doesn’t exist on social media

sl when the story changed you have to be quick smart at deleting

Sugarplum48 · 17/10/2024 09:54

I wonder if scot bot will throw in the link to flp when doing her uninspiring podcast Ted talk? The fact yawn can't find anyone outside of her echo chamber to do these talks speaks volumes

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 10:31

Yawn is having another photoshoot

🙄

Sugarplum48 · 17/10/2024 10:53

Urggh what for now?

Scotbot's "podcast" will be live into the private group apparently. So that means that Scotbot who makes up a substantial portion of the audience will listen to a recorded version of what she and other bot audience members already know, and pay for it, or Yawn will interview her in what will descend into a general chat about nipple tassels and triumphing over the haterz. Scotbot will not be able to share the podcast because Yawn cannot afford to have her content shared, mainly because it's better it doesn't come under outside scrutiny.

I wonder if Scotbot and Headband are going to need to transfer their loyalty? Being tied into Yawn can't be good for bizniz. I get the feeling Speccy has stepped away from Yawn.

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 11:36

Speccy does seem to have a small downline so will have been encouraged to move to Uber. She’ll have been thrilled to be courted

Scotbot doesn’t seem to have much of a business or any downline and appears to be teaching her burlesque classes again which is promising

not sure about Headband, she’s constantly posting about meeting new business partners but there’s no visible sign success

YouOKHun · 17/10/2024 11:47

It can't be going well for Headband as yesterday she was promoting someone who definitely hasn't been able to make a go of FLP and has lost money.

I sense Headband has convinced her that it's her fault it hasn't worked and she just needs to try harder. She has probably told the poor woman that Christmas time will be a bonanza. It won't change the fact that this woman hasn't got the money to be her own best customer and none of her friends do either. No amount of predatory positivity will change that.

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 11:54

The days when bots were recruited who had a bit of spare cash and wanted to play at being CEO of their own business, and could afford to be their own best customer, are long gone

YouOKHun · 17/10/2024 15:03

Anyone noticed that FLP have published the 'biz builder' names in regions? I think this is new and is done to showcase new names and delete the same old names and create an impression of a bouyant company. I suppose they will pitch the regions against each other given that the UK can't compete with other countries. Is Yawn's upset about being lumped into the central region without a hope of ever being in the top three because Uber and her mates will always come top?

I might be wrong about the regions but I don't think I've seen this kind of "information" given by region before.

OP posts:
Twentytwentyhindsight · 17/10/2024 15:59

@YouOKHun I seem to remember FLP posting such in the past (regional 'open business', 'business builder', etc...).

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 16:00

Splitting it all up so much that everyone gets to be number 1 in something

Oops! @Twentytwentyhindsight yes I wasn't sure if it was new or not. It has the appearance of window dressing; making it look more dynamic with new names featuring and just cutting the pie a slightly different way. I suppose I am just on the lookout for underhand tactics designed to obscure the reality.

Oooh yawn could be in trouble. This site from a Australian creator is more or less identical to yawns.

Sugarplum48 · 17/10/2024 17:35

Is that plagiarism or am l wrong?

BSintolerant · 17/10/2024 18:25

Could be copyright infringement. How naughty (and potentially expensive).

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 18:37

Who is the plagiarist? Is this a long standing page?

Spongebobette · 17/10/2024 18:42

Just looked it up

VERY aspirational Insta

much more sophisticated than Yawn

and not cheap

AbbeyGrange · 17/10/2024 19:18

But...but...but Yawn's built two businesses and is a well known mover and shaker in the business world don't you know! Surely as a big shot business woman she would know that if she doesn't remove that post she'll be hit with a cease and desist from the original creator......business woman my arse
