Botwatch 89!!!!!! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM.

Yawn is offering payment plans for her Disaster Starter Kit. She needs to be careful about what she’s offering and how clear she is making it and how many instalments she is asking for. Anyway, limited time offer at nearly £500 - don’t all rush at once.

She's so desperate to get her mitts on the gulliable fools cash she'll do anything

Spongebobette · 11/08/2025 21:28

How many people are going to part with 3k?

of they are willing to do so, and are convinced that an ex MLM rep whose only other claim of running a business was as a childminder (and who has often said she never earned enough money to pay the mortgage ) then it’s proof you shouldn’t bloody well be thinking of starting your own business, because you clearly have no judgement!

I’m not sure that post made sense grammatically but you get the gist!

She’s posted a chat message on her stories where she’s doctored the text to make it look like whoever it is has signed up for the platinum package. It’s not even the same font.

Crikeyalmighty · 12/08/2025 11:14

@Spongebobette strange how that childminding business is now being worded as hugely successful when she used it before to say why she needed to ‘do something else-

Yes, the shifting reality is mind boggling!

The story used to be that they were about to lose their house because they couldn’t keep up the mortgage payments when she was a childminder, which is why she started with FL

She’s now claiming that she ‘built’ a childminding business and therefore you should trust her advice as a successful business person

Crikeyalmighty · 12/08/2025 12:33

@Spongebobette thing is with childminding , if you are in the right area and do a decent job of it there is constant demand without much selling in and often not much competition - it’s not like building a demand from scratch for a non necessary product .

Spongebobette · 12/08/2025 12:42

Absolutely - childminders with a good reputation are in high demand!!

@Spongebobette yep - we’ve got a lady who delivers lunches to our shared co space 3 days a week - not just sandwiches, proper nice home made high quality stuff - she does ok - as it’s in addition to her cafe /deli business . It’s a good service, wanted and requires no woo woo selling, pissing off friends or family or manifestation !!

Spongebobette · 12/08/2025 13:45

Does she have an amazing Wordpress website and does she post constant photos (of herself) saying how excited she is?

OP posts:
Crikeyalmighty · 12/08/2025 14:25

@Spongebobette er no . She has a Facebook and posts once a week and just pictures of her food offering and details of corporate catering .

Spongebobette · 12/08/2025 14:54

Ah because she is selling AN ACTUAL PRODUCT not ‘pay to be in my cool girl gang’ or ‘pay for me to have Zoom meetings with you where you tell me how amazing I am’

I saw that earlier, it's pretty obvious it's been amended.
Although I'm sure some of the people following her won't notice and continue to think she's doing well with her new bizniz.

Crikeyalmighty · 12/08/2025 16:28

@Spongebobette honestly I think for most in that arena they are vanity businesses - they all seem to be glammed up to the 9s ‘look at me’ etc - if anyone independent is really earning over £45k a year absolute max I bet it’s no more than 5 -10 in the UK

YouOKHun · 12/08/2025 17:09

Usually with Yawn the mystery new client can be guessed by who is liking the post and a few other clues Yawn drops. It’s usually an FLP downline who is hanging on and trying to please Yawn. Let’s face it, any new client (if there are any) will always be part of a hangover from Forever because outside of that dwindling audience no one knows she exists unless they’re Techie’s customer. Any client who is not immediately outed on Yawn’s SM is likely fictitious.

I expect Techie is going to find out that she isn’t in a collaboration with Yawn but rather Yawn is leaching what she can from Techie, who, thanks to FLP, really can’t afford to share the meagre profits with someone who adds nothing.

Spongebobette · 12/08/2025 19:26

I do wonder why Speccie hasn’t signed up for business advice - she has actually started a business outside of FL and I’m sure a website and all the things techie offers would be useful
And I’m sure Yawn has all sorts of great ideas as to how to develop the business 😬

OP posts:
Angrymum22 · 13/08/2025 11:34

How many times has Yawn launched her new business? It’s getting really boring now. Anyone would think she is becoming a little desperate.

Spongebobette · 13/08/2025 11:35

There’s always a lot of pre launch noise isn’t there

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 13/08/2025 18:39

I wonder if she’s got what she calls the ‘legals’ in place for her own business, as sharing the income with several others needs a watertight agreement

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 13/08/2025 18:40

(I assume the money comes in to Yawn and then she shares it out)

50p for you, 50p for me 😄

YouOKHun · 13/08/2025 20:22

Techie is going to regret her collaboration with Yawn. Techie has got more to offer than Yawn but will find that when the pennies are given out she is still very much the downline. How will she clear her Forever Living debts with Yawn holding the [empty] purse strings? How will Yawn clear her own Forever debts for that matter. Not through her hobby job as a coach, lost in a sea of other identikit coaches. She need only look at her own coach to see that it goes nowhere.

You’re being far too generous! I think the distribution of the Yawn Millions will be decided as follows:

“Ip dip dog shit, you are not it! This month’s 50p is all mine, MINE, I tell you (but I promise I’ll share next month’s 50p with my new biznizz bestie!). Eeeek, etc.
