Let's Talk About How This Multi-level Marketing Scam Is Taking Over America...

[Atlrocafella]

Another thing that 5linx people like to bring up is that their company is a Fortune 500 company. Than they like to toss around their rediculous titles as if it has any weight at all.

I can't lie, I enjoy watching their BS videos about how this business works and how it's changed their families/friends lives, but when you ask them to show you something tangible, they never can. Just a bunch of "promotion certificates" that I could print off at kinkos.

3 words:

Anyone else find it extremely insulting how they so heavily target minorities?

Cause they think that we are hungrier and more aggressive to promote that product. I know some black (Caribbean) folks that have had success with MLMs and live large, but again, you got to find the right one that has not yet oversaturated the market.

Bingo. My pops was friends with one of the friend people to start selling Tahiti Noni Juice in the country I'm from and he's doing quite well. Now any time someone I just met invites me to their home or to a meeting, I instantly walk away.

If you grind hard and have a MLM that people love, you might as well do it than to work at a 9-5.

LOL
I want to see an MLM blow up and get mad regular people rich, just to see the reactions of people's faces.

This isn't possible. That's a property of how these schemes are designed. The number of broke people in a MLM will ALWAYS be exponentially greater than the number of rich people....cuz those rich people got rich with all those broke people's money.

It's not a Fortune 500 company...it's on some other list. Small business 250 or some shyt. It's very far from being Fortune 500. It's at about $50M, the last company on the fortune 500 is over $4,700M.
