that's literally part of what makes the scam so alluring. you see motherfukkers in Ferrari's saying they do it too, and all logic flies right outta the window.

just like these fukking pricks on Instagram promising if you put $100 on a greendot card they can turn it into $1000, and post videos of themselves with fists full of cash.

:wow: it's so demonic.
shyt is like... Rap music :laff:

There's money in MLM....BIG Money.......Looks like Body by Vi got next in the South....
No it's not. The money is those who get paid by the company to sell themselves for recruiting. Like they have Bentley's, Benz, and go looking like celebs at events and what not.

I think Amway is okay as they give your money back, sell good products and have great kickbacks but most Blacks can't make much in Amway unless they live with white folks which is why you rarely see them in it unless they live in the middle class due to their pricing.

MLM is hustling backwards for most folks and many of the ventures rarely make a dime unless you start one from jump.[DOUBLEPOST=1397333885][/DOUBLEPOST]
Selling drugs is more respectable than this mlm sh*t
It is. I would rather sell dope than this shyt. I know dope dealers who have made millions and of course like usual, all went to jail and the suburban ones did fed time but they actually make money. This MLM are pure scams. The only ones I seen folks make money is from Amway and that's like 500 a month. You get more than that doing pt work at Subway but that's a lot less harder than Subway tho. Even so, it's not easy to sell this as you would think especially as a Black man who ppl are skeptical of you by race alone regardless of your appearance.

Selling dope is a lot easier, it's just that selling dope in a compact area can led you to jail, death, or problems a lot faster than elsewhere.

Son of a biitch.............................................................................. how many seconds you got wash them motherfockers... I eat half that list trying to be healthy...do I need to sit my fruit in boiling water for a few seconds....

Thread derailment.. damn...

I see it like ...its a business and your job, whatever it is a "form" of business too
...... people try and sell you stuff and ideas all the time in a "free market - capitalist" economy........................like the U.S. ... :troll: :smugfavre:..

Nonetheless...all you have to do is say no the same you say no to the lady at the drive thru trying to get you buy 3 cookies, even though you just wanted the value meal.

The same way you say no to the cellphone carrier trying to give you a small notebook that you don't want with an updated plan...

Etc etc.....

However, I agree with the fact that the businesses have their drones.....I mean salespeople... always on their ABCs (Always Be Closings)...which is kinda annoying ....... idk.... some people have been really successful with it and I've been to the mega conferences to small meetings of various ones....but I guess I'm not cut out for that type of business....
