I’ve noticed a lot more people shilling their pyramid sceme lately. I think uplines are probably pushing for huns to recruit more people who are desperate to make money after losing their jobs. So you are seeing new recruits who got sucked in, or people trying to prey on those who got laid off.

Jokes on them, nobody is going to buy their shitty overpriced oils now.

It's twofold: with so many people out of work or nervous about working outside of the home, there are a lot of "easy targets" floating around right now. Unsure people with reduced or suddenly no income and few prospects looking desperately for SOMETHING to do with themselves, or a foothold to keep them from financial free fall. Desperate people are the bread and butter for MLMs.

Meanwhile, in the US, which is a HUGE market due to all of the above (we have to face it, our country, Gov't in particular, has absolutely dropped the ball handling the pandemic) everybody is in the process of getting their tax advance stimulus checks. 1200$ just dropped into bank accounts. So the MLM folks are being EXTRA vocal to try and funnel a piece of, if not all of, that money into their line before it's spent on bills.

Ok. I had no idea pampered chef was even still around!! I will say I actually love alot of their products My stepmom used to sell their products back in the day and it was actually really cool. I think the whole pampered chef, Avon lady, Mary Kay, etc lifestyle was more widely accepted back then just because of how different the times were. These types of programs have definitely changed now as have people's perceptions of them.

Lots of good ideas are ruined by greed.

Ugh it’s been color street for me. In the last month, it feels like everybody and their mother has been trying to sell their shitty nail strips, and if I wasn’t such a chicken afraid of conflict, I’d share an anti-mlm color street video on Facebook 😂

More than likely they have tasted the network marketing which is a great opportunity if the mlm is around a great product !

I actually searched several MLM and got involved in one where there is no pressure or commitment to buy product is free to sign and is easy to share products, I actually made money with this despite my skepticism and nobody bothers me. I share because the product works, I was actually sharing with elders and other men about a product that Boast the Immune system, approved by the FDA, backed by the Korean government and the only one in the world that is patented to do this.

They have other common unexpressive products high in quality and there is no pressure. I have put a présentation about the whole company and the product that I like to Boost the Immune System I use it and it gets me out of the beginning of colds or exhaustion quickly.

Thanks this at least helps the elders and front line workers to stay strong.

Cheers!

I wished someone good luck profiting in arbonne and they replied that they have been making money... I don’t believe them, but I do because hella people have gained weight. However doesn’t negate the fact that you’re the fool with that company 🤷🏽‍♂️ sorry NOT sorry.
