I don’t want to be a part of that or encourage that.

Not all mlms are like that. I sell Younique. It cost me 99 for a kit of over 300 worth of makeup. I make 25- 30 % on anything I sell and I get paid off my downline. I don’t have to buy anything else if I don’t want. I use my y cash for my makeup. So I get most of my makeup for free. You can make alot of money with Younique if you are willing to work for it. If you want to be in the top 1 % of the company you have to do what the other 99% are too lazy and unwilling to do.

So, surely you are in the top 1% at Younique, then? Oh, you're not? Why are you so lazy? Work harder!

I always find it befuddling that so many of the MLMers seem to think "their" MLM is different (especially Beautycounter and Stella & Dot among the DC crowd I know).

Totally agree that MLMs are despicable. And I am now totally hooked on The Dream podcast - it’s excellent!

Shilling for an MLM is not your own business. Hilarious troll.

Not sure if this is a troll or not but people absolutely think this. Lots of new year Facebook posts by MLM sellers thanking folks for supporting their “small business.”

THIS is what drives me insane. Please stop saying you are an "entrepreneur." That is extremely insulting to someone who truly is a small business owner.

Which business do you "own", and how much did you make in 2018?

I'd also be fascinated to hear how much your "business" makes. This "minion" makes $300K in her office job.

Why? Because I don’t like seeing my friends and acquaintances being taken advantage of. If it’s just a project or something to do, fine. It’s the ones that really need the money that I feel bad for.

Now you know what your friends and family think of you when they get another cut and paste sales pitch on Facebook messenger.

My father has gotten caught up in them and I had to fall out with him over trying to sell me shit all the time. If you want me to call you, have something to talk about other than how nobody buys that shit, nobody will join and make this million dollars with you blahblahblah. Blah.

Back in the mid-90's when I was in my teens, my parents used to take me and my sister to Amway conventions with them. Even at the tender age of 17 I was clear it was bs. The conventions truely were akin to a cult. For hours on end the members would chant "I'm fired up!!!! Are you fired up?"

Luckily, my parents had the good sense to quit early on and never look back.

I am convinced that the same type of personality that can get drawn into MLM's is the same type of personality that could have been a Branch Davidian. David Koresh could have been a top producer for Amway.

Oh honey, bless your heart

Meh, there are a few MLM products I really like. I agree I don't want to see all the crap from my "friends" every time I log in to FB. But yeah I like some of the essential oils... grapeseed (edible) oil....

It's no different though from all the other advertisers that spam you all the time. I guess if the MLM seller is respectful of boundaries then it's OK.
