The thing that really annoys me is that they are trying to capture the ‘want to earn a bit extra so I can stay at home with the kids ‘ crowd - knowing full well that the days of big downlines earning even 5 figures are well and truly over - it would be more honest to those people to say’love you will make more money with 2 evenings behind the bar or shelf stacking’ and without up front costs

oh I agree totally I'm lucky enough to live in a big town in the south a quick search on the popular job search engines list many part time jobs bars and resturants.

Yep same here in Bath - I think the problem is people get the ‘6 figure earnings for 10 hours week ‘bullshit in their brain , not the more likely £80 a month for hassling all your mates to buy and losing friendships etc - there may have been money to make at one point - there really isn’t now, most people are wise to these things-then again people’s capacity to believe bullshit never ceases to amaze me-

What next? Forever Living telling us that they were indirectly linked to MLM?

Spongebobette · Today 04:55

That’s a very badly written statement

Clear as mud. Which is par for the course.

Thinking on Buildabear ..... having made such a big song and dance about this, how on earth is she going to frame its inevitable demise? How to explain that? Because I give it 3 months, max.

Spongebobette · Today 07:40

Oh you can keep an alternative reality going as long as you have Insta and Canva

YouOKHun · Today 09:27

And don’t forget she has announced that BuildaPyramid has grown by 142%, expanding rapidly from two people to five people. Though I expect the beige AI ladies and some coerced downlines are included in her numbers.

Oh that’s all clear then …

Are they trying to say the Country Sales Mgr is innocent and had no involvement? it isn't clear, or is it lost in translation. There was more than one person arrested anyway so none of this really makes sense, in true FL Fashion. Shame they limited comments.

I like their announcement today considering India is the epicentre of call centres

“We have something VERY exciting coming -a try before toy buy. We do try and explain over in our FREE community through videos & posts - check out the guides, but keep your peeled for the all new
freebie part of the app”

I can’t help thinking that if you really want to explain what you do it would be worth proofreading posts before sharing them.

This message and others in recent days show that she is having to give more free enticements. She and Techie seem to be hoping that if they give people a bit more of a view of what’s on offer it will be attractive and lead to people signing up. However, if what you’re offering is a confusing rehash of what you’ve done before and what every other ex-bot is doing then a glimpse behind the paywall will simply be enough for people to confirm it’s not worth paying for.

There is also another post with emphasis on the flexibility of membership with a tale of cancelling and returning subscribers. I suspect that traffic is all one way. It’s pretty clear that all Yawn and Techie’s efforts are in desperately trying to get people to sign up because there is absolutely no need to carve out any time for an active membership.

I think they will have to pull the plug on the BuildHer Barn Dance because they will need at least three people beyond Yawn, Mr Yawn, Techie and the photographer to be able to take misleading shots that imply a crowded room. Plus the room has to be paid for and if it’s a pathetic occasion she will lose the people who have shelled out whatever it costs to turn up. The five “ambassadors” she show-cased, apart from Doggy Bot are any others local? Who is going to travel any distance on a weekday afternoon when there is school pick up and the travel costs on top of the cost of a ticket? That’s got to be a barrier for the ambassadors she featured and any other followers who will have already been rinsed by Forever (seen as they all seem to be MLM or her downline).

perhaps I’m out of touch but I don’t think this is the best advice

I think you need to have a good product or service that people want to have and are willing to pay for

making it all about you and your story ‘your mess snd your magic’ and attracting people to you is not a business plan.

But it is straight out of the MLM playbook
