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

The worst is when the husband and wife both are hitting you up. It reminds me of the Office episode when Michael has the dinner party but he really had them there to try to sell his girlfriends candles.


Only time I can ever say anything even close to that happened to me, is the couple I know that owns a crossfit studio and is always hitting me up.

Several women I went to high school with push this stuff called Rodan and Fields. Constantly 


I know one who has a great job. So does her husband. Between the two they're probably clearing 400k. She still is pushing Rodan and Fields like there's no tomorrow.

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 parents were in Amway. It ruined our family. Literally. My dad already had a good job making $250k a year yet he was so occupied with Amway that he ended up getting fired from his job because Amway was taking up too much of his time and he was trying to push Amway on people in the office. Of course since Amway is a total scam nothing ever came of it for our family and my dad was never able to recover.

Amway is a scam. They lie to you and tell you that the money is made via selling the products and recruiting people under you. WRONG. The only money made in Amway is by the diamonds and high pin levels is the cut of the profits made from the "tools" and tickets to expensive functions.

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.

So she is peddling that shite that is causing people's hair to fall out?

There are several class action lawsuits against this company cause of fraud and the adverse effects the shampoo is having on people's scalps.

Your wife is an idiot to willingly sign up to peddle that crap.

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

In a small town, you quickly run out of folks to invite over for parties.

The lawsuit was filed by 4 women who sell a different shampoo product. My wife probably has 30 or more women she sells to, most have been buying it for 3-4 years now as she seldom takes on new people. I think she’s had one person quit buying the product, nobody’s hair has fallen out from them or us. Tbh, I don’t care if she keeps selling it or not, I don’t give a care about shampoo.

Well to me she’s a smart lady. She was a NICU charge nurse for almost 10 years. She enjoys selling it. If people started complaining to her about their hair falling out she would stop. As of now it hasn’t happened, and like I said, she’s been selling it for years

Ugh...a nurse that went MLM. Those are the WORST.

They give us regular nurses that would never support or be part of an MLM a really bad name.

I don't know what it is about MLMs and nurses. Like moths to a flame for some.

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
