Is there anything worse than a friend or family member who tries to sell you MLM? I don't know which line is worse: "I have a business opportunity and thought you would be a great fit" or "would you rather work 40 hours a week for the next 20 years or 2 hours a week for the next 5 years?" I don't understand why people are so eager give up their dignity for this crap.

Several women I went to high school with push this stuff called Rodan and Fields. Constantly spamming parties, give a ways, and "Opportunities to be part of a multi billion dollar industry!!!, PM me to see how!!!" They will post before and after pictures of their makeup use and I honestly can't tell any difference whatsoever.

There are some great products sold through MLM but I’d never bug anyone I knew about them.

But if they are that good, I’ll just wait until they hit the “As seen on TV” aisle at wally whirld.

We have a growing number of people in this country who believe they shouldn't have to work for anything, and the government should just give them what they need.

I would say that group is worse.

I have a buddy whose wife won’t get a real job because she can’t get up at a normal time and she’s chronically & shockingly late for everything. So she decided to sell Arbonne. I knew it was going to be a disaster, but I had to bite my tongue every time he talked about the earning potential.

I wanted to say; just get her an alarm clock and a McDonald’s application.

It only lasted a couple of months.

I know a few who are active with it on Facebook, but no one who has pushed it on me in person. Then again, I imagine they know the look they would get from me if they did

I don’t understand how people allow their family to get into this bullshite.

I know way too many successful people who let their kids go pester the frick out of their friends to set up Cutco demos. Of course the friends feel guilty and buy from the kid, but they also think less of the parents now. Make your kid go work at Smoothie King, don’t fricking bother your friends.

The main MLM thing I’ll never understand is how the jerk each other off and post about it. The MLMers I know all post these massive video chat group of their fellow idiots who just gather together and talk about how amazing they are and #girlboss.

MLMers are the worst. Nobody has any shame anymore.

My wife makes $700-1,000 a month selling Monat. Occasionally she will pull in more, I’d say very high end $1,500. She makes about 4-5 FB posts a year and doesn’t annoy people with it. If she did annoy anyone it was within the first month or 2 just letting people know but she never tried to pressure people. Now people notify her. She pretty much just sells the product, she doesn’t push the whole getting someone under you thing. Decent side money for her, prostitution didn’t work out well.

My wife's cousin joined a nutritional supplement MLM in the eighties and now she and her husband are worth 10s of millions.

I think most of the products are geared toward women so I’ve never had someone try to approach me personally. I also don’t let Facebook post bother me so post away

Is advocare considered MLM? I did have someone try to sell me the spark for pre workout but what I take is much stronger

I've been approached before 3 different times by 3 different people about 3 different MLM type "opportunities".

One was the one Collis Temple III is part of. What's the name? Amera something. What's funny about that one is that you have to sign up I think 3 or 4 people before you can start getting commission.

So in other words, if most people work hard at the beginning they are probably good for 2 or 3 people, by that time they realize it's not worth it, but the company still gets a few new customers out of it.

One was some type of supplement. Someone I knew fell on hard times and somehow got caught up in this shite. He he told me he had an opportunity he wanted to introduce me to and if I would mind joining him at a meeting. He gave me the gest of it and he asked me 4 or 5 different times about going to this meeting and each time I told him I had to do something.

I was trying to not be a dick about it so I figured it would be like everyone else, they will get into it for a little while then they are done with it. He asked me maybe 4 or 5 times about going to this meeting and I would tell him I had something going on. Then he found a new job and was done with it.

Then I had someone I haven't talked to in years email me (this was a few years ago). It was some financial deal where you had to pay a few hundred upfront and then after getting x amount of people on board you would make your money back then everything from there was profit.

Long story short, she ended up telling me I was such a dick and there was a reason she hadn't talked to me in years. I told her to contact me in 6 months if she is still doing it and I will join. Haven't heard from her since.
