Is this like Rodan and Fields?

I'm noticing a lot of the females on one side of my family, all of whom have very little education, are pushing this R &F stuff.

Similar. That's more like Mary Kay. Advocare is supplements. There's nothing shady or creepy about Advocare other than the parasites that push it. Just cause they sell an inferior product that the masses eat up through good marketing doesn't mean theyre shady. You know, just like crossfit

Pretty sure they teach you how to post on social media.

The Rodan and Fields girls all post the same stuff, just slightly different. It's also hero-worship and kind of weird.

"I just have to say how wonderful life is thanks to the great opportunities provided by Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields. These products WILL change your life!!!"

Then 5 other RF seller girls will comment:

"It truly is an opportunity and a blessing!"

"These are miracle products!"

etc.

It's creepy as shite.

I used to use their products back in the early 2000s. Mostly spark. So when it got popular again, I became a distributor. I took one look @ an $80 bottle of mediocre whey protein & said no freakin way am I pushing that on people that trust me just so I can make a buck

What is Spark? Someone told me they drink it the other day when they were making fun of me for pouring my hot coffee over ice.

atta boy to your trainer. It's next to impossible to find a QUALITY product to sell that u can make $ off of. The margins are too small. I sell Quest bars. But only cause I have a client that owns a store and sells them to me at cost. Even with this, the margin is only about 33%

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) states "Steer clear of multilevel marketing plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors. They're actually illegal pyramid schemes. Why is pyramiding dangerous? Because plans that pay commissions for recruiting new distributors inevitably collapse when no new distributors can be recruited. And when a plan collapses, most people - except perhaps those at the very top of the pyramid - end up empty-handed."
