I'm a GIRL, Damon!
I don't know about all of the MLMs but I know the travel business and the paparazzi ones seem to mostly attract black women and that's so predatory and cringe.
I’m not familiar with MLM . Is Herbalife a MLM?
and/or if you have a large social media following that you can market to. The actress from Spy Kids, Alexa Vega, started selling for an MLM, I'm sure a lot of the people that joined her downline did it bc she was famous.
I'm just trying to help my fellow LSAers out! Look at these soldsYall out of control!
When I was a teenager, one of my aunts tried to sell Mary Kay. When she told me she had to buy product to keep on hand, I asked why and she told me to hush.I remember finding this website years ago that exposed Mary Kay (and on their forum they expose other MLM) I can't believe people still fall for it

@twistedsista is this the Lularoe documentary you're talking about? I saw this a while back and it was very eye-opening.
This is true. I remember these and they were just salespeople (women mostly), slightly annoying but nothing you couldn't avoid; most people liked at least 1-2 products and didn't mind too much. The sales folks did it as a side hustle or just for some extra income in household for a SAHM. Now it's all about recruiting, lying on social media, slamming 9-5 workers and "jobs", and making people think they're "bUsInESs OwNeRs" and they're gonna be millionaires and taking themselves way too seriously.Believe it or not MLM is basically a bastardized version of the direct sales industry.
When I was a child, several decades ago, there were a few companies where people sold products for extra money. My grandmother sold Avon for extra money in the 1960s.
I had an aunt who sold some Amway products on the side, too. She didn't recruit.
I don't recall Mary Kay back then but from what I read it help housewives make extra cash by giving home parties in other housewives' homes.
Fast forward to now and these companies have adopted the MLM model heavily.
When these companies transitioned from direct sales to MLM, they lost credibility.
Mannn check Instagram. These insta girls stay pushing Herbalife.I’m tired of these Paparazzi people! I don’t want that cheap, ugly sh!t. Also, I recently made the mistake of buying some Avon bubble bath at a pop up shop and the lady won’t stop bothering me. And mf’s are still into Herbalife?

Yup..same with Tupperware.This is true. I remember these and they were just salespeople (women mostly), slightly annoying but nothing you couldn't avoid; most people liked at least 1-2 products and didn't mind too much. The sales folks did it as a side hustle or just for some extra income in household for a SAHM.
