Yesss a friend from school has just started this. I’m not particularly close to her anymore but we are Facebook friends and she’s constantly inviting me to her ‘business’ Facebook group. I keep declining and she keeps trying. She does live streams every other night too putting face masks on. It doesn’t bother me a massively as I just don’t get involved with any of it, but what does bother me is she’s now trying to be some skincare expert.A vast amount of people on my friends list on FB seem to now be selling Tropic skincare products. Which is fine, the products are nice enough. However I’m sick of getting PMs sent to me asking me to buy stuff. The products are expensive and in any case if loads of friends are trying to sell something to me I can’t buy from one and not the others especially as they all tag customers to let them know their orders are on their way.
I’m not on Only Fans but I think you get a personal link and if someone signs up using your link you get a percentage of what they earn? I’m not 100% sure but I read thatI saw something on TIKTOK that said Only Fans was a MLM, can anyone shed light on this? I think a post recently went viral of a 19yo Only Fans creator had bought her own house (maybe flat, can't remember) off of the money she made through only fans, it sparked a lot of posts asking about the nature of OF as apparently you're encouraged to "recruit" people and gather subscribers in the same way you are for a MLM scheme...
I remember reading into this a while back as a girl nearby seemed to be making quite a bit of money from it. She was often sharing that you could sign up "under her" and she would share her tips and promote you to all of her Instagram/twitter followers - but only if you had signed up with her, not if you already had a page or used someone else. Once or twice she shared all the benefits of signing with her (came across very MLM) such as promoting you, advice on how to gain subscriptions, advice on how to talk to people, help with what pictures to take and poses. And I'm sure she said briefly that she would recieve a small amount of your earnings. I already knew quite a bit about MLM's by this point and it didn't sit right with me that you profit from someone else's page.I’m not on Only Fans but I think you get a personal link and if someone signs up using your link you get a percentage of what they earn?

I think they’ve definitely got the idea from the traditional MLMs. What other business model do you had over a portion of your earnings to the person above youI remember reading into this a while back as a girl nearby seemed to be making quite a bit of money from it.

I guess it's not your typical spend a few hundred to "create your own business" MLM, so it probably depends on how you look at it if you consider it one or not.
There’s a couple of ‘business bombshells’ on my facebook. Tacky packaged skin care?I mentioned this on the last thread but the girl who I went to school with who is the CEO of 'Business Bombshells' is also trying to turn herself into the next Alex Light posting a million body positivity posts and the comments about how much of a beautiful, inspirational woman she is really wind me up, I'm like yes great I'm all for feeling good about yourself but she's not a nice person, she's a narcissist who has very cannily broken away from Juice Plus to start her own bullshit MLM and be top of the pyramid exploiting thousands of women. She was doing Juice Plus for years and was very high up, remember her messaging me when I was like 18/19 and thinking what the actual fuck, you're really scraping the barrel here, she was one of the 'mean girls' at school and I was very alternative, she used to look down her nose at me! It annoys me how such nasty ass people do so well for themselves, there is no justice sometimes
Yep that’s the one! Apparently horrible quality and £125 for the starter kit if you sign up, then £10 a month to retain your status as a bombshellThere’s a couple of ‘business bombshells’ on my facebook. Tacky packaged skin care?
Please attend the zoom meeting and feedback, it is interesting to get the inside scoop!Guys please don't hate me but I signed up to Body shop at home!! - But hear me out..
It was £49 for my starter kit but everything in it is worth over £200 apparently, I do use a lot of bodyshop stuff and I will genuinely use it all, so I am saving money whist trying a few diff ranges in the stuff I normally get. I do not intend to sell or a be a rep of any kind, I will see though if my mum wants anything while I still have access to the discount. I didn't go through my friend who sells it, I went through some regional manager thing on Saturday and I know I have ultimately paid into the whole pyramid scheme but I am happy with the stuff I am getting for half the price it would normally cost. They won't get another penny out of me and surely they won't make any money as I intend to go no further with the whole thing?..
I will say though its been 3 days and I have been added to 4 different whatsapp groups, 3 different facebook groups and 3/4 different facebook group message chats. It is like a cult. Some of the groups talk about their 'shiny cars' and they literally use those words. They share what promotions to have, when its best to engage with your customers on the page you set up etc, which by the way I haven't done but they keep contacting me and asking why I haven't yet. I feel totally bombarded and its very over whelming! Some of the woman seem lovely but it just seems too much and I can't tell if they are genuinely lovely or if its all part of the act. in one of the videos I actually watched along with my partner, he couldn't stop laughing, they mentioned how doing this as a side job soon overtakes your actual job which I think is mental. I have had to mute the 5 or 6 woman that are contacting me and there is a zoom meeting on Thursday night at 7pm which obviously I won't be attendingwaiting for my products to arrive then I will be leaving the groups and saying ciao.
I have lots of screenshots which I will share end of the week when I leave the groups as I don't want them to read here and figure out who I am then remove me beforehand, It is so full on, I can't actually believe it, i thought I would get left to my own devices but no such luck. I guess if you wanted to actually sell it, it might be quite good as you obviously get lots of help and support, But for me it would just be totally overwhelming.Please attend the zoom meeting and feedback, it is interesting to get the inside scoop!
