did you know that 80% of women who earn 6 figures or more are involved in multi-level marketing? did you know that you can make more in one month than you could in one year just by providing quality products to friends and family that will benefit from them? did you know that you can host parties and be seen as a leader in your social circle with MLM? did you know that Plexus' pink drink contains 1,000 nutrients that you can get from no other energy drink? did you know that acai berries cure cancer? did you know that pampered chef products are guaranteed to last? did you knwo that my daughter's acne is clearing up? did you know that I just earned my diamond level lexus? did you know this is the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME? did you knwo that July is a great time to start? Did you know that after three months of consecutive ordering your price drops to wholesale pricing in the 4th month? did you know that one of the major health benefits of mangosteen is its effectiveness in treating Alzheimer’s disease? did you know that it's not a scam?

One of my ex's tried to sell insurance something through an MLM, it was all designed so that you get paid commission for sales BUT if people stop making monthly savings plan payments your commission "charges back" against your new sales. You could literally make $100k in sales, run out of friends, then people realize they can't afford $500 a month and pull their money out and you owe $100k back to the company. A bunch of people bought bmw's that got repossessed lol. The tow truck used to park outside the unairconditioned warehouse and just wait

The bourgeois, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors,” and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment.” It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom—Free Trade.

LDS families get hit even harder.

The best MLMs are the ones that don't even have a product but just different "levels" of in-club where you get to meet other genius marketers for your membership fee.

I remember I was at the mall, probably like 19 or something, when some guy approaches me and says he wants me to help him work in some really vague company that he wasn't being very precise about. He asked me for my number so I gave it to him out of curiosity. When he called me, he told me to look at the company website, this company website didn't say jack poo poo or anything, there was some vague rear end page about energy drinks or something, I don't even know. Then I look at the pictures and it's a bunch of meetings (for who knows the gently caress what) and everyone is Indian. Like every single person is Indian. Then I realized something, this is exactly like that episode of King of the Hill where the entirely Asian country club inducts Hank into its ranks just because they need at least one white guy so they aren't accused of being racist.

Members of my extended family make up half of the highest level of a major MLM and it's very lucrative but also shady. Very few people making a whole lot of money off some people making a bit of money off of a whole lot of people making nothing.

A bunch of Filipino nurses trolled the MLM by getting all their extended family to sign up for a long term savings plan, paying them about $200k each in commission, then they went to their lawless home country to retire. All their family mysteriously decided to withdraw their savings back out all at once only no one could find where to charge back the commission to lol

A buddy told me about an open-house meeting for this company he heard about through the grapevine and suggested I go check it out. It was all Indians and one white dude sitting on folding chairs in a circle, with this Asian guy in a suit standing in the middle talking about this energy drink. I showed up maybe ten minutes late, so at the end of a long spiel by the suit guy, I apologized for missing the intro and asked "So how much is this going to retail for?" He rolled his eyes and explained how Verve wasn't for sale in stores, it was about buying the business, not the product; I said, "oh, so it's a pyramid scheme", he told me to get out, so I downed a handful of Sudafed and left to go find a bar.

The insurance MLM worked by convincing 10 people to become BUSINESS PARTNERS, using them as a reference to sell stuff to their friends and families, having big GO TEAM WOO A MILLION DOLLARS meetings TO PUMP YOU UP. Friends and family could come to see what a GREAT BUSINESS OPPORTUNOTY Then they send all ten chumps to the NEXT LEVEL GOLD STAR TRAINING COURSE for several hundred dollars (after draining them of contacts) where you sit in an unairconditioned warehouse on folding chairs and scream at you for not making enough sales for 14 hours at a time, all weekend and several nights a week, until you quit. Then you scramble to find ten more chumps because any sales you made this month will start "charging back" the commission you were paid as the friends and family of the people who got hosed over don't want to keep putting that several hundred a month into some savings plan scheme. The Mormon mafia boss running the joint makes short term investments with the millions stored in these savings plans people buy into to pay for his multiple wife baby factory on a ranch somewhere in preparation to become a literal pagan god on another planet in a couple lifetimes, god willing (god meaning the current god of this planet, not him just yet)
