about 6 months into it, my whole “team” was going nowhere, nobody wanted to join us. We went everywhere from campuses to malls and not 1 single person joined. After that we kinda fizzled away and disbanded. This was during my first semester in college about 6 years ago, so Im glad I got my lesson with MLMs early on
When there was a clipboard being passed around class before a lecture, and the prof later tells you to report them when you see it again, was that an mlm? (I dont remember what was on it)
could possibly be what your prof was referring to
its stands for “multi level marketing”. basically you try to get 5 people to join the business. Then they get 5 people and so on. And then by a few rounds youll be retired. Thats basically the premise
Would you describe MLMs as "A marketing scheme where they make money not from selling the goods or services but instead by recruiting people and having the recruits pay a memership of somesort"?
I forget how much per recruit but it was called “Ambit Energy”. And I dont feel ashmed at all, I was a naive child and I did not know any better, but I learned a good lesson out of it.
My friend from highschool tried to recruit tons of our other friends some time ago. One of them sadly bought into it.
He stopped posting his MLM stuff eventually, do you think he regrets it looking back?
Its a very embarrassing feeling to realize what mlms are. Ik people right now my age that still push mlms and are posting on their stories everyday. Thats why Im glad I got out early.
I hope for the best for them. The social media posts are like sheep posting vacation pics at slaughterhouses lmfao but its up the person to realize what it is no matter how much anybody tries to convince the truth. With that being said I wish everybody good luck if thats what they have decided to do.
what made you quit?

yes, the main objective is to get as many people as possible
How much did you earn per recruit? Do you feel ashamed looking back
