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.

The Platinum Package is an introductory offer of £6k 😂 and on her website there is a glowing endorsement from Struck Off Bot who says she now has a brand that truly reflects who she is. Not that part of her brand is giving away who she TRULY is. That’s for eagle eyed botwatchers to read in various West Midlands based media sites. Anyway, she’s likely paid Yawn for a sprinkling of Yawn’s magic success fairy dust and the result is … feck all interest in her divorce coaching despite broadening her offering to include any conflict. In fact, she probably has less interest in her coaching than she did before she added a photo of herself holding a large coffee cup as the major part of a Yawn-led brand transformation.

The basic BuildaBear is £25 a month and apparently this is a good deal because it was £49 a month (was it? I don’t remember that). Confusing for Unlucky club members who may find themselves now BuildHun Club members with exactly the same content as they’ve already endured. If indeed anyone is still listening.

SIX THOUSAND POUNDS???!!!!!!!

What’s the difference between unlucky club and buildabear club? If you pay for buildabear are you automatically enrolled in unlucky club?

what’s that you say about the need for clarity about what you offer??

@Spongebobette for £6k I could get a proper high end bizniss consultant with significant industry experience in for 2 weeks with an awful lot more proper analysis tailored to my specifics and budget ! Not just general woo woo

YouOKHun · 14/08/2025 10:57

@Spongebobette yes, confusing isn’t it?! Perhaps Yawn fills her days puzzling over it herself?

Hours spent trying to work out what pearls of wisdom she has shared with her Unlucky members and whether it was long enough ago to use the same material again, perhaps in a different font. Also, hours spent puzzling over which initiative was which; is August an extended Money Manifesting March or is this supposed to be a Business Bestie week? Is she living a simple carefree Good Life today or did she say she was a six figure earner? Was Forever an amazing experience or really awful? What was it she told her followers?? Is the new customer a BobTHEBuilder client or just another coach trying to sign her up? As my granny would say, ‘what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive’.

The only thing that is clear is that there is absolutely nothing on offer that is worth £6 let alone £6k. The whole thing is just to fulfil her need for attention and fear that an offline life would be meaningless.

One woman messaged Yawn to say her goal was to earn enough money so she could afford to employ Yawn as a coach or pay for Buildybiz

it’s very sad

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 14/08/2025 11:39

Also…. do you think the advice is ever ‘let’s have a good realistic look at the numbers….. that idea you have had and would like to turn into a business can’t be turned into a business that would generate any profit, you are better off getting a job’?

It is isn't it, why are these women so desperate to suck up and find favour with Yawn?

Crikeyalmighty · 14/08/2025 12:57

@YouOKHun. Absolutely - throwing the kitchen sink at it all and hoping some sticks simply doesn’t work . If I was a coach my advice would be - she would be better to offer to help 2 or 3 women with decent ideas for free for a couple of months - document the process , talk about what worked, what didn’t and why , be open with the numbers and then post those case studies for others to look at and see if it’s worth the money -

YouOKHun · 14/08/2025 13:32

@CrikeyalmightyI agree that would be far more credible but that kind of openness and honesty would not allow her to support her delusions through carefully choreographed selfies and edited highlights or sell herself to those who want her approval or believe that she offers the chance to raise their social capital. She can’t deliver anything transparent because her biz model (such as it is) relies on keeping her clients vulnerable and dependent on her, just like MLM.

In related news, we are in the 7 day countdown to Yawn’s annual exam statement, ‘I didn’t get any GCSEs and look where I am now’. When my DD was doing her GCSEs I swear it was the threat of being consigned to a life of super successful flappy pigeonness that finally got her to revise.

Spongebobette · 14/08/2025 13:43

I wonder who all the generic-name women are who have provided testimonials on Yawn’s website?
Laura, Sophie, Natalie, Emma, Hannah, Rebecca

Techie offers her own ‘Simplify business suite’ membership at £27 per month

how does this fit in?

marvellous website building there.

Yawn looks like she's been crying to me

OhMyGiddyAunt · 14/08/2025 17:35

Is it just me or is Uber really laying it on thick with the "I've had such a tough life/been treated badly/come back from the brink/I'm such a great mum/I love my kids" posts at the moment.

Is this to appear relatable to vulnerable mums?

Or has she been dumped?

Crikeyalmighty · 14/08/2025 19:49

@YouOKHun ha ha - that’s how you know it’s all wheeze to bring some big and quick money in if anyone is gullible enough, rather than to create quality product with longevity and credibility

REAL TRUTH THOUGHTS LAST NIGHT...

If your teachers and university lecturers were right they would be driving decent cars...

There would be a lot more people flying around the world

There would be people enjoying their life and not struggling...

School and university teachers are all broke and have no way of teaching you how to live a good life they plug you into the slave trade...

They teach you how to be tied, pay a mortgage and never be able to get passed the saturation point...

Learn from real professionals that can actually make really cash and show you the way....

If you're not making big cash in your Job (which you can't) or business what is the point...

Busy fool time for change...

The annual response from the gutter at exam results time. This gem from Sleaze. It’s not the worst of the post, the accompanying photo requires a strong stomach. Warning: bare chest and Mr Big cigar.

Spongebobette · 15/08/2025 15:53

School just ties you in the matrix in the debt system never a good choice to start off life.
Real education is needed on life finances mindset etc ❤️❤️❤️

YouOKHun · 15/08/2025 16:27

Talking of the matrix. Sleaze had to step into the matrix briefly last week because he needed the services of the sheep and their legitimate business; a car valet to clean “his” car. Why he can’t do it himself with some of his time freedom I’m not sure but evidently he is too lazy and ultimately that’s behind his resistance to a legitimate existence.

Anyway he rejoins the matrix, arrives at the car valeting company to find it’s closed! WTF are fully paid up sheep doing taking a day off on a FRIDAY??! Then someone points out it’s Thursday. He doesn’t even know what day of the week it is. Presumably he will be rejoining the matrix and asking the sheep to save his life next time he has heart problems and the Kennedy endorsed wellness cure hasn’t worked for him. I hope he gets some scrutiny as a result of his association with Poison Bot.

YouOKHun · 15/08/2025 20:35

SHARING THE SHOTS Out and about today educating people on the best heath tonic around with our fabulous new Aloe Bar

I wonder if Headband’s “educating people on the best heath [sic] tonic around” is what botwatchers would call “making false health claims about an overpriced wellness drink of no particular benefit”?

It is indeed aloe bar.

Aloe bar 😂

A very minor Younique bot I follow has qualified for the Dominican Republic

”TIER 3 POINTS
That means ….
4 night Trip for 2
5-star, all-inclusive resort
Airfare discount & transfers covered for us both
Swag Gifts
Resort Credit $300”

Am I reading it correctly that they have to pay for their own flights, albeit with an ‘airfare discount’?

MrsDilligaf · 16/08/2025 21:27

Blimey, didn't realise Younique was still about - the hype around it 15 years ago was unreal! I assumed it had died a death.

Spongebobette · 16/08/2025 21:38

My Younique bot ‘ stepped back’ a year or so ago - she claimed it was because she was so busy with other things but in reality she’d sunk too much money into it
