I knew a lady who got huge into LIMU. She was living the Limu life. She leased the limu BMW convertible and everything. The wife ended up with a huge limu tattoo in a very visible location. Who knew that would have been a bad idea?

My wife & I are friends w/a young lady selling Lemongrass - she personally used it for a few years and liked it so decided to try the selling role - she has done quite well - she doesn't "push the product" on her friends - she initially let everyone know she was now selling it and most folks tried it as a courtesy - we now use several of their products as do most of our relatives and friends - we see her socially pretty often and unless my wife brings it up, the topic never is discussed - she will send a mass email whenever there is a "special sale" on certain products but that's only a few times a year - good stuff.
Thanks for having the guts to reply. Seriously. What does quite well mean to her? I've seen this range from "getting some free product" to $200 a month to 20k a year etc

A couple of friends in Lafayette many years ago were selling a supplement called Juice Plus. They were doing well.

I helped a lady change a tire across the street from TJ Ribs years ago right after I graduated from LSU. She was in her late 30's / early 40's and was an OT 8.5 with big fake knockers. Smoking hot. She asked for my number and reached out a few days later and asked me to meet her at the Embassy Suites for a drink. I thought I was about to get laid. I got all showered and dressed nice and show up to find her there with her husband.
Not discouraged, I am thinking he wants to watch and she is hot enough that 22 year old me is OK with that. Turns out they try to get me to join Amway. Hopes dashed and I learned to hate that damn scam. Ruined my dreams.
This is pretty funny.
This was in the early 90s I guess, but I had an aunt and uncle get into Amway. All of a sudden all of the products in their house was Amway. Cleaning products, paper towels, potato chips, etc.
I remember asking my daddy what was Amway, because my aunt and uncle all of a sudden started pushing this philosophy about the harder you work the more you make and I remember in an office in their house they had a poster. It was a Porche next to a private jet and it had "Poverty Sucks" across the bottom. In other words, it was the whole "you can have anything you want if you just work harder and if you are not able to get it then you are not working hard enough" bit.
Then all of a sudden one day I went over and there were no more Amway products. No even products they were going to replace after the current Amway product runs out and they never mentioned Amway again.

This was a very good documentary on an MLM company and the impacts on regular folk who get ensnared.

I can't speak to your wife, but it seems this days they just push in a different way. They make 95000 Facebook or Instagram stories/posts a day, add you to groups, etc.
Seems exhausting. I often wonder what their overall income is from it. They tend to treat it like gambling and count the "wins" without counting the losses. So they're not looking at a true number.

Re-reading my post, I can see how my explanation is confusing - my wife doesn't sell Lemongrass - we buy it from our young lady friend - so, I don't know with certainty how much see makes but based on the size of her network and her own business volume and accolades from Lemongrass corporate, she's well over $50k. Not a fortune but worthwhile for the effort. The product is shipped directly to the customers' homes so she doesn't ever touch it - just places the orders.

My original wording was not clear - my wife doesn't sell the product - our young lady friend does - and I was FB friends w/her until about 3 years ago (she's been selling for 10 years) when I left FB - and she posted about Lemongrass maybe once or twice a month, generally when certain products were on sale - never spammed her FB friends.

Not a complete MLM I guess, but my wife did get sucked in to Beach Body.
She tried being a coach for a while but you can only be as successful as the commitment of your clients. And most of her clients we lazy fat as women.
So now we just use their workout videos. Which are good for having a home program.

Mine sells Isagenix….doesn’t make a ton, but she won a trip to Mexico last year….we use the products and like them and also are in the social circle with some of the top earners….the top earners have the knack to sell to random people on all forms of social media as well as in person and end up very successful…the ones I know personally all currently work or left some pretty high level corporate jobs

Is Excel telephone still a thing ?

My wife did Rodan & Fields. I'm sure we lost a couple thousand. I quit asking.

A friend was telling about some ladies his wife knows that do Rodan and Fields. He said there are a couple that are at the top of a pyramid and are making bank. But, that means there are a lot of poor broads out there spinning their wheels so they can live large.
Do they not get it ?

That shits been around forever. I remember a rapey chiro and his wife in BR trying to sell me that shite. Guess he wasn’t high enough in the pyramid because the feds went after him for unpaid taxes.
