MLM?

Multi-level markting

It's the technical term given to pyramid schemes because not hiding the fact that it's a pyramid scheme is illegal

Damn that is sad

I had a friend who got into this shit a few years ago and his Facebook looked just like these.

>>777287

You're absolutely right man, but those guys are IDIOTS! The SMART ones who have the drive, passion and the brains have all made big bank on MLM. And I can tell from the fact that you just ask that question that you are SMART, so believe me when I tell you that you are going to make it big my brother! Now, let's get you signed up - I don't think a high roller like you will settle for anything but our xxxl package

>>777516
Nailed it.

bump. I deleted people that do that because it was the cancer in my news feed. It's fucking comedy when people try to recruit on the college class pages tho.

>>777709
that is always annoying

I get nothing but idiots trying to rope other idiots into selling insurance

>>777277

>>777189
the most pathetic is instagram spam

>>777720

Even more pathetic:

When people copy shitty Instagram spam (that has been reposted so many times that it is a pixelated mess) and post it on Facebook

>>777763
isn't instagram owned by facebook now?

>>777407
>it's run like a cult
This so much .
One of my friend signed in .
They told him that he have to pay a 100 buck to do a test to sell insurance then they would pay him back ,risk free. Of course, all the members where cool and helpful but they never gave him back the 100 bucks so my friend wanted to resign . They went batshit crazy by calling him ungrateful , calling him all day at his house to the point of him putting charge on them for harassment. Even I had to deal with them the same way.
Also they like doing passive-aggresive shit

>>777999
Sick Double trips

Yeah, also they will steal all your warm market (family, friends) before you get your license. Once you're ready so start selling, all your warm market alreadly have insurance and you're fuck.
Also have to give kick back from your comission 11 level higher up, hence the MLM scam.

>>777999
Aha I like how they spew that bullshit about primerica being the largest financial svcs org, when what they really mean is largest financial marketing doofus collective. When people ask the dude I knew why the internet says it's a scam, he tells them, "The internet is like a bathroom wall, worthless"

Shall I keep this thread alive?

>>778939
Seriously, If I was earning that sum of money so easily, I would never share my secret with people, never. But this guy's post, ehh, it's both funny and sad.

>>777189

>oh, you should stop finding the errors in this proven system
>instead you should invest and earn money

Oh, and by the way:
I'm kinda involved in a MLM but I don't recruit because I'm too autistic.
The shit they post is ridiculus. Motivation speeches like "winner take action and losers just talk"

I just want to see their reactions when it's getting taken down

No more collages?

Has anyone else here noticed the correlation between "personal trainers" or "fitness coaches" and also being part of MLM groups?

I have 3 MLM friends on facebook, all of them just so happen to also be "personal trainers".

Pic related of course.

>>779331
MOAR

>>779331

The personality traits are probably very similar

My guess is that trainers like being looked up to...they've achieved physical success and they like the admiration of anyone who is out of shape...or at least they believe so. I think people with great physiques make all of us envious. But, that's the height of their achievement. Similarly, MLM people seem to create an image which 1) attracts people from whom they will receive money from (I guess personal trainers do this as well...doing whatever it takes to retain clients who have no discipline) and 2) they draw esteem from...somehow believing they're doing something impressive or otherwise validating their life struggles.

I guess at bottom, there is a strong tendency (or necessity) to be--perhaps overly--narcissistic. And, to people like you and I, it's clear there is absolutely no substance behind them.

Look at how the world it set up its a pyramid and this is no different. I live the 'laptop lifestyle' and you're a dream stealer out to steal the dreams of young wealth creators like me. I add value to people's online interactions what do you do for people?

What if we /biz/ness geniuses come up with our own MLM company? A lot of people (albeit stupid) out there who are interested and I think there's plenty of money to be made. What do you guys say?

What products do you think we should market?

>>779539
Market something intangible like they all do.

Here's another example

>>779547
Heh.

A buddy of mine somehow found his way into an interview with these guys. I guess they coaxed him into giving my number out before he realized it was silly.

I got a phone call with very vague information. It's been some time, but as best I can recall, they said that they would like to interview me for a CSR call-center job.

Well, I got there and it was mostly uneducated-sounding black folk that saw an ad on craigslist and hit that shit up. For the hell of it, I guess I decided just how lucrative I could make myself appear.

It wasn't hard. I "got the job", naturally, since I was probably the only reasonably-literate person in there. It was nice for my interviewing skills, I suppose.

But oh god, it was absolutely horrific to sit through. Just fucking awful.

The only part that made me upset was the initial call was based upon a bald-faced lie. There was no CSR position, and there was no call-center. Only commission-based bullshit set up to gather information on potential clients before the wiser people get the fuck out, leaving the jackasses that might actually give it their best shot.

Pity.

>>778939

The sad part is these are so poorly fucking written that it actually filters out the smart people. The only people seriously interested in this are the really fucking stupid people and thus he has no hassle of trying to explain that the whole thing is "legit".

>>779331

Jesus.

>>779508

I like how the recession barely put a dent in their "business".

>>779644

Awhile back I was more involved with internet marketing/CPA and I would find gems all day long. I'll see if I can dig some up.

Tremendous amounts of people bullshitting that they're rich and for only $7 they can show you how to make millions.

It's a shame because the field has so many dumb fucks that it's a bit annoying trying to find people to collaborate with or at least shoot the shit. I think WickedFire is a good place though. Although I haven't visited it in ages and their mods do a decent job of getting rid of the fakes/retards.

This guy acted like he was making a lot of money. For him, $10 a day was enough to make him rich in India. He convinced a company to make him an affiliate manager too (paid to manage/assist/help anyone that joins the network to run leads to products).

It just showed me just how much bullshit flies around.

>>779653
What's with this fucking obsession with making money "online"? I see it on /biz/, and I see it on Facebook, and fucking everywhere.

It's not as if making the money on the internet automatically makes it better, so what gives?

Its a pretty well cultivated cult. Making money online makes it seem to them like they're techies or something.

America seems like a desperate place.

I remember a little while ago I had a messy breakup with a girl and she said some pretty harsh words for me when she left.

4 months later, she contacts me on Facebook out of the blue and says she wants to talk. I figure she either wanted to apologize, or tell me something else. So I add her expecting the worst, and it happened.

Well, she apologized alright and wanted to remain friends. Then she tried to recruit me into her MLM scheme buying overpriced cologne and how I to could be an entrepreneur if I said she recommended me.

My gf has started working for this company called periods & paragraphs they are great they sell you the idea that breaking your ideas up into sentences and paragraphs actually makes it more readable and there's only a 30 cent charge for each period (.) and a 50 cent charge for each paragraph break. It's great because its all warranteed and if you get somebody who says that your idea is still illegible shit that you get all your money back for all those paragraphs and periods because we actually put our money where our mouth is because we believe in our product, so if you have any questions on how paragraphs and\or periods work you should send me a message thank you very much !!!

I had a phase maybe a few years ago where I had a morbid curiosity in the desperate characters and bottom-feeders that got entangled in these low-IQ money making schemes.

There was this one nigger that would drive around in a rental Toyota during strange times of the afternoon, and park next to an empty gold course or some condo complex with nice landscaping to convince people that his MLM scheme was a success to the point he had the freedom to drive around instead of working.

Then after a few months his terrible collage website would go inactive and a few weeks later there was a new one with some new scheme.

Poor Ray Napier. He never made it.

Cutco seems more like a high-turnover sales job than MLM, but i don't have good knowledge of how they work. It just seems like they actually sell knives to friends/family, saturate their market, and give up. Then the cycle starts over.

>morbid curiosity in the desperate characters and bottom-feeders that got entangled in these low-IQ money making schemes
Thats pretty much what gave me the idea for this thread. I catfished as one for a while just to experience the culture. I feel bad for a few of the people mostly its hilarious. Its a pretty well crafted cult of sharing quotes from robert kiyosaki and believing in yourself.

If you want to know the type of person that falls for this, this guy used to post MLM inspiration bullshit nonstop, now he posts nothing but stuff about jesus. I guess he gave up and wants jesus to make him rich now.

The newest 'scam' seems to be online marketing schools, where you pay to set up a marketing school branded with you, that teaches people how to set up marketing schools branded by them.

Its pretty hilarious when you see a nig from the bahamas claiming the fact that he lives in the bahamas as evidence of his success.

Seriously, the people who get involved in MLM schemes are like that one acquaintance from middle/high school you knew that got hooked on drugs. During high school, they were alright, hell, you may have even been somewhat friends. After you graduate you don't see them til you come back to visit from college a few years later. They look like shit, come up to you randomly out of nowhere, try to act all "buddy buddy", and then proceed to ask you for money because they need to "fix their car".

These threads need to be a /biz/ staple. The one thing I don't get is that these stupid fucks put so much time and energy into faking wealth, do they really believe that will make them wealthy?

Holding two giant fake checks? What do they really hope to accomplish by doing that?

>>781134

Oh my god, yeah I have. I forget where though. Think it was a Facebook group for selling stuff (I barely use those as the client base is such trash and most people are just drama on them)

The girl got rekt so bad, it was hilarious. Wish I had the damn picture of it.

When these "mompreneurs" aren't cucking their husbands, they're shilling these bogus nonsensical products.

I love reading this thread, i'm actually active in an MLM company. It's everything you guys think of it and more!
the reason I stay is because it doesn't cost me anything so I'm not losing anything.
also:
- I don't recruit, unless friends with the same goal as mine ( not recruited anyone yet )
- the product itself is legit
- the company itself is legit
- I learn a fucking lot ! these guys will pay for seminars, guest speakers, everything...
- Incentives... a fucking lot too! everything from vacations to festivals
- it's self-employed so i get to write of a lot of shit I would have bought anyway
- it fits nice on my resume, no matter what job you're going for, "coaching a group of 5 people" goes... also: "entrepreneuring" goes for every job worth interviewing for.

why I want to quit every fucking day
- these pieces of shit tricked me into it
- the people that start up right now are illiterate fuckwits who don't even speak the language how it's suposed to
- those fucking motivational shit i receive on fb makes me cringe so hard
- i have to explain this post to every person that is smart enough to know MLM is bullshit and asks me why i do it.

tl;dr good for students who like to learn a lot and build on their NEXT carreer
bad for people who think this is a carreer

>>781168

How are you an entrepreneur when you're part of someone else's business?

>>781178
I'm not... i just state it on my resume.
something like:
X years experience as self-employed entrepreneur for company x
or some shit

>>781181

Oh...well you can lie whether you're part of an MLM or not. I do endorse lying but if I interviewed someone who participated in MLM I'd just think they were dumb/showed some poor character.

>>781181
So you're basically a liar then.

>>781182
>>781183
In my language working for yourself has the title: self-employed entrepreneur
is it wrong that i put that on my resume ? I know i'm not an entrepreneur, but thats my the title they give it...

Like i said, the company is legit... so it does add to the resume

>>781189

You can put whatever you want on your resume.

>>781192
Not without lying

>>781195

Clearly you are retarded. Enjoy your MLM "entrepreneurship."

Check out #mlm on Instagram for the good posts

>>781222
Whats the problem ? I said it twice already, i don't call myself entrepreneur... it's the word used in my language...

Fucking close-minded people think they mean the world because they lurk /biz/-threads, if you got the option to take adventage of a situation while not doing anybody any harm, you wouldn't ?

Maybe you can come up with some arguments before calling someone retarded

>>781229


Funny thing is they always post under popular celebs on Instagram. Most effectively under rappers...wonder why.

>>777516
Genious.

>>781234

I just read your posts

>If you got the option to take advantage of a situation while not doing anybody any harm

You do understand these pyramid schemes ruin people socially, financially, etc?
This is coming from someone who saw his mother take out a loan for 5linx which till this day ruined her credit.

>>781168
>I don't recruit, unless friends with the same goal as mine

So basically "friends" who are dumb enough to give you their trust. How nice of you.

I would be perfectly fine with this since it's similar to the 419 scam of taking advantage of idiots, but this one is a bit different. It actually goes for the poor and doesn't help them in anyway other than making their situation worse.

>>779547

>What is commas

>>781242
Finally some real points, what you say is true. I'm sorry for your mother, but there is the difference. I have invested nothing in this so i don't lose anything either.

Your second point is also true, but i don't think it's relevant. They don't have to trust me with shit, i give them an option to do something, on which i don't make money by the way, they do whatever they want with it...

It's not the old kind of pyramid sheme where you have to buy in and earn on other peoples buy-ins... you just sell stuff to people and the people that signed you up get a share. I'm not in it for the money, just the experience, like i stated in the first post

>>781248
that sounds awfully familiar with the ACN scam I almost fell for

>Ask him how he's going to use the phone

RED FLAG, SELL AND ABORT
>I'm dumb enough to ask him to elaborate
>Goes on telling me how he retired at 23 blah blah blah
Long story short
>We meet up at Public Library few days later
>He brings his laptop
>I know what's up already
>Tell him if this is anything similar to 5Linx I will be walking out without saying a word
>He says it's not and shows me video with Donald Trump backing it
>Tells me EXACTLY what you just said
>I tell him I'll get back to him
>6hours later he texts asking if I made my mind up
>I tell him give me time
>13hours same shit
>I tell him to fuck off
>He tells me I'm "out of luck"'
24hrs later he wants to return the phone because it "doesn't work" with his "cellular company".

I deny the return and a shitstorm rises.

So let me ask you since you know the people of /biz aren't that dumb to fall for your scam. When will you start throwing poopoopeepee?

>>781255

HOLY SHIT I still have the messages

Anyone want?

Why haven't I shared this? Or have I...

>>781255

Wait, so what was the scam? That's all confusing..

>>781255>>781260
I'm confused too, what did he say exactly like i did ? What is 5linx and what do you mean by that last sentence ? I'm not trying to scam /biz/...

>>781260
Look up ACN, he lured me in seeing that I sold alot of phones on Craigslist and made a decent amount of money doing so (before the whole Apple update fucked my biz up).

I used to buy Bad Esn phones and send them in to some guy on eBay for $50 each. He would send me a new phone in return.

I had like 20 phones on Craigslist at any given time and this guy Greg (Business Dude) saw I ran a biz so he contacted me asking for a phone like a regular customer.

Then he started calling me a "smart guy/entrepreneur" that needed a "boost".

The ACN scam is exactly what this guy >>781248 just said. You're not selling anything but providing services to people to "save money". When in fact you're just lining people up to get fucked. If you don't meet a certain quota, you end up losing everything. So these guys are like leeches when they ask you to join.

>>calling me out for working in an mlm company
I never recruited anyone ?! I told you guys my intention was not to make money on it, i get a lot of training in finances ( i'm supposed to sell insurances )

It's okay, i see you don't appreciate my input in this thread, even though i don't defend that mlm isn't bullshit

>>781285

Look, I do support the fact that you scammers actually give people a good deal in saving money. But it's when you try to get other people into it that it just fucks everything up.

You're claiming that you're just "training in fiances" when in reality you're training in scamming.

Put THAT on your resume.

>>781285

what do you actually do?

>>781287
>fiances

Finances*

Also, you seem to understand what it's all about so you seem to be an okay scammer. Just don't call it what it's not.

>>781287
First thing: you're right, and i see it happen all the time, thats why i don't recruit people with the mindset to make money
second: the trainings in finance are government training ( i guess you could say that its trainig to scam people though, jk )
its about laws and how taxes work, not about sales and influence people

>>781297

I still wouldn't hire you

Best of luck tho

>>781290
Someone contacted me for a job, just like other mlm things. I started up without having to pay anything.

I call people up and set an appointment, while i'm there i discuss with the clients which insurance or saving plan suits them best.

The company is legit, so is the product, the way of recruiting new people isn't promising the lost land and all the gold that went with it...
it can result in a lot of money, but you still have to work hard for it

I wouldn't hire me either on the grounds of me having experience in an mlm... escpecially if you would know i only made about 1000 dollars in a half year ( still need to be taxed )

I'm not stupid, i know it's not what they promised me, but i'm not harming anyone by gaining experience and training.

I hope you don't think everyone involved is as stupid as the guys bragging on fb

>>781315

Hnnngggggg I just want to punch your face in

>>781304
A comma right between isn't and promising

>>781323
You just stated that you don't support the way of recruiting ? I don't recruit !
Why do you want to punch my face in ?

>>781331


This is far off, but still...

>>781336
I lol'd
i'm going to stop posting after this one because you're certain of your point.

Imagine you work for a company, which is legit and sells good products but they swipe people of the street to come work for them and promise them all the glory in the world, you went in and enjoy all the benefits except for all the glory because there is non.
you don't go and lie to people, you don't even push people into buying your product when they cant afford it.
you just stay with the company because they provide good training for free which, you as a student, can put on your resume when searching for a job later.

Then some guy on the internet comes and tells you he wants to punch your face in because you scam people.

Think about it

>>781343

Yup, sounds about right.

Have a great afternoon

>I'm going to stop posting after this

I knew the poopoopeepee would come sooner or later

>>781354
Damn i forgot about you mentioning that... you got me

>>781343
Yeah, this reminds me of a job my girlfriend got at a Whyndam/Worldmark resort. She told me they had current employees recruit new employees for 500 dollars.

I told her that no company would have to pay old employees to recruit new ones because all people would have to do to get a new employee in this job market is post on Craigslist and there would be lots of responses. I told her that this seems like red flags for the prospects of that job.

She's smart and saw my point but kinda downplayed it. Then she quit a couple of months later because, amongst other things, the environment was toxic.

When what you're being told about your new job is too good to be true, it often is...

>>781189
You're not an entrepreneur and you're not self-employed. You're shilling someone else's idea. You're the people that we make fun of.

>>781248
You're losing your integrity and your credibility which you can't really put a price on.

>>781258
>>781259
>>781268
Why are you still here, eBay boy?

>>781378

I never wasn't

>>781362
100% right choice to quit, the only reason i stay is the trainings which cost a lot of money and the benefits of being self-employed ( taxes and shit )
>>781372
I never said i am, thats the official title the government gives it ( how many times have i said this )
Also, the company isn't looked down upon like herbalife or some scam, it's legit... so it doesn't look bad on a resume

>>781390
It was just a customer service job similar to that of a hotel front desk person. It's just the recruitment strategy screamed scam to me.

Here's my question for you, man. I can tell you're one of the rare few who "get" what's going on and don't care, and you don't harbor illusions of becoming rich. Do you think you understand what's going on enough to start your own MLM/ scam?

>>781381
Someone scared you away and you stopped tripfagging for a little while.

>>781390
Is the company BBB accredited?

Whoever is interested in a no startup cost mlm check out solavei.com

Basically you pay your cellphone service as you would every month and that is your monthly "fee"

IF! you recruit people your bill basically goes down. I think you need to recruit 6 for a discount and 9 for free service.

I left cuz I needed more Gigs even if it cost more but it's good for people who dont use alot.

>>779532

>>781402

Oh no no no noo, I actually started focusing on something else (proj).

Sem just ended though, no need posting in eBay threads since everything is being answered by others, & I've never seen a thread without me in it...lol.

Anyways, these Chinese/Pyramid scheme threads are still very entertaining.

>>779331
yeah I have a guy like this, too.
"life coach"

Aren't these pyramid scams getting you money though? Like, you pay money to enter, and if you enter early enough you can make money yourself by referring people.
Also, why is 4chan so terrible today? It can't be just my internet because I used it on two different devices and connections

>>781402
You ever notice how BBB accredited means very little and BBB A+ pretty much guarantees that the product sold by the company is a scam?

>>781419

>Why is chan terrible
SJWs/Google CAPTCHA

I tried advertising on here twice, wasted $$$ time.

The schemes makes you money if you're a Chad, that's the easiest way I can explain it. If you're not Chad, you are going to lose alot of time/money.

>>781419
No. That's how it works at the top of the pyramid. The further down you go, the less recruits you'll get and the less of the total profits you end up seeing. The people at the very bottom before the company goes belly up are definitely losing it. It's just a question of how long you can sell the dream of early success while simultaneously selling people at a level where they WILL lose out.

>>781416
So have you graduated yet or you still got some time left? I don't know why people seem to think you're a dick. To me, you're just trying to hustle like everyone else in this world.

>>781400
Theres not much to understand, the real scamming pyramid is just asking for a buy in of a certain amount and let the people you recruit do the same.

Then you have those herbalife things that just sell things downward for more money ( also legit but i think thats more prone to people scamming costumers )

What i do is commission based, i sell something and everyone in the ranking gets a certain amount of commission.

This one is a little more complicated because the product that are sold are not consumer products. Insurances don't have a "break even" amount...

What happens is: imagine the top of the system is person a one down is b and so on, i am f for example, i sell a product and get 10 buck, the person above me ( e ) sells the same product and gets 20 bucks.
But since he recruited me, he also gets the difference between my 10 and his 20, which is 10.
this means that the amount that the company is paying for the product to be sold is fixed, no matter what the ranking is at wich its sold.

It's hard to explain but easy to understand.

I think the hard thing to set up such a scam is making it all legal. To do that you have to make sure there is no victim ( wich is usually the bottom line ). In the company i work for thats not the case, since the bottom line just sells insurances and earns money
>>781402
the bbb rating is a+ (i)

>>781429

I know I know, it's how I used the Pepes. I realized when it was too late. I was bragging too much instead of helping people, answering questions in a "you're stupid" kind of way.

As you can see I don't use Pepes much anymore (not only because the value has dropped/Reddit). But because...well yea

I actually dropped out, realized a biz major is really pointless if you're just going to class where the professors aren't even into it/own a biz. Might go back few years for a Law degree after I read about Edward C. Law, who knows. Glad you understand.

>>781419
I never made any money doing MLM. I fell for it and paid money to start and they wanted me to be "all in" meaning I would have to pay for all the programs and etc. I couldn't afford it so I gave up. But their philosophy is fucked and it seems like the only ones making money are people that are already well versed in MLM and affiliate marketing.

>>781423
It means a lot, actually. If you have complaints against you, that rating goes down.

>>781440
Are you skilled with your hands? And not like that, I mean can you build or fix things? If so, go for an apprenticeship. It's five years or so and you get paid the entire time and your pay rate increases as you go along.

Then if you're good enough, you can start your own shit and be a bo$$

Kek eBay is a dank pyramid scheme

>>781602

With how it is nowadays, I can agree.

Amazon is not better, they close your accounts and start selling your shit behind their "Fulfillment" center. It's happened to various people. Once they suspend you, they ask who your supplier is "for security reasons". Making you think they are just going to ask them in an undercover way if the items you sell are real/fake. Butt then they start buying from them...and you start fighting an uphill battle.

eBay does it
>>772216
>>772218
>>772220
But does it in a much more complex way (hiding behind other accounts)

With the new split from Paypal, I think they are going to sell eBay to Alibaba

>>781531

>5Linx

Can you explain how this scheme works?

>>781938
it was good you convinced your friends not to pay but it was pretty high and mighty of you to show up and waste your time arguing with this dude, even if he's just scamming stupid people at least he's working trying to get his. Stupid people can make their own decisions and if they happen to be stupid decisions you might as well profit off them. The guy sounds decently good at manipulating anyway, he convinced your dumbass to go away and stop bothering him just by calling you smart as it does appear you were desperately trying to validate your intelligence from someone you consider a low life

>>781965

5Linx is kinda old, unlike the new scams that don't make you sell physical products, 5Linx makes you sell phone services/etc under their name. Still remember when we had a 5linx home phone (it's basically VOIP).

5Linx is more for African Americans, as Herbalife is to Hispanics.

>>781965
6 or 7 years ago I went to a 5linx seminar. The co-worker who invited me was absolutely certain that he was going to be a millionaire in the next 10 years and me and another worker to go. The seminar was about 1.5 hours of "GET PSYCHED!", "You're going to be Rich!", "This is the opportunity of a lifetime!" They even had obvious plants in the crowd (which was about 50 - 60 people in size) that would excitingly tell the people around them how they are so ready and going to sign up for the most expensive packages immediately. The main product they were selling was video phones. They were not cheap. In order to get the product line available to you, you had to pay something like $750. Then you had to sell video phones, and/or recruit people to join 5linx to sell the video phones. It took something like recruiting 3 people, each selling 4 video phones to break even. They had several success stories speak about how much money they are making and the main guy showed off the keys to his Bentley and Rolex watch. The crowd was full of struggling people who were desperate to make some extra income. There was not much of a Question / Answer session, just at the end, high pressure to give up your credit card and "start your own business to be rich." It was a pretty eye opening experience and l felt dirty afterwards.

The co-worker that invited me quit the job soon afterwards, never heard from again, he was deep in the system. The other co-worker who went afterwards talked about how desperate he was and how all his money was currently going to child-support and I kind of talked him out of signing up.

tl-dr: Pyramid Scheme.

>>781126
That is a snazzy light fixture

the scumbags who participate in these marketing schemes should face the firing squad.

You are an idiot. You do realize time is money right? I can easily work to jobns and learn just as much while receiving consistent amounts of money. You obviously belong in mlm hope amway is robbing your time.

in the 1890s this is how companies sold children's chastity devices and electric-shock belts to people

same for the 1950s with tupperware and 80s with real estate

middle class sheltered suburban housewives are the dumbest people imaginable

Well, technically there is a product involved in MLM, but it's not the focus.

I'm in love with this thread. Are they good documentaries on MLM or pyramid schemes? I've only watched the Bullshit episode of it.

So is she a serial MLM ? How the fuck does this happen? Surely you would realise after the first one but then again, maybe it's just a downward spiral.

>all of them just so happen to also be "personal trainers".
I've got no facebook friends in MLM but a lot of them are "personal trainers". One of them in particular is competent (he definitely looks the part) but the others as skinny af.

Why didn't you stay to explain to your friend why it's bullshit? Were you afraid you'd be sucked in?

>We'll see anon, you might be doing well at a good uni but I'll drop out and become a billionaire like Mark Zuckerberg. I'll make the new Facebook.
God, I hate these cunts and I feel sorry for them. I just want to put them out of their misery.

LMFAO THAT GIF

>Was struggling badly enough that I was mostly living off potatoes, unemployed, going nowhere and with rent due in 3 weeks.

>Have absolutely no other choices at that moment, try to make it work for 2 weeks.
>Rent due in one week, I quit having made absolutely no money but spent about 13 hours a day doing this.
>Lost money, actually, due to having to borrow money from a friend to pay for transport to this place every day.

It wasn't quite MLM, I know a lot of salesmen start off on commission only, but the entire think stank of poor people who were desperate for a job, and I'll not forget how much that job fucked me.
Ended up moving back in with parents when I couldn't make rent. Glad that's over. Doing shitloads better now.

i had an acquaintance that i haven't spoken to in years contact me out of the fucking blue asking me if i wanted to make (their exact words:) "the next facebook"

webdevs always get these sort of dumbasses hitting them up, asking them to work for free on a "facebook but with babby pictures" in exchange for shares in said network
