Learn the techniques and tricks that pyramid schemes use to recruit new members and how to avoid being fooled yourself.
--
In 2004, a nutrition company offered a life-changing opportunity to earn a full-time income for part-time work. There were only two steps to get started: purchase a $500 kit and recruit two more members. By 2013, the company was making $200 million. There was just one problem -- the vast majority of members earned less than they paid in. Stacie Bosley explains what a pyramid scheme is and how to spot one.

These companies follow a Multi-Level Marketing model, that means they often do not sell their products/services via retailers, but through a workforce of people sometimes called their “distributors”. This strategy is also often labelled as Network Marketing.
Examples of these companies are: Herbalife, Amway, ACN, Younique, LuLaRoe, Arbonne, Beachbody, doTerra, Mary Kay, Nu Skin, etc.
Although it seems ordinary on the surface, many of these companies have received a great amount of backlash, with entire communities built to oppose these companies (often labelled as the anti-mlm community).
The question here is: why the backlash?
In this video we dive into the industry and the reasoning behind the backlash, as well as the shady practices some MLM companies use in order to keep their distributors inside the company.
Some of these practices include the selling of a “dream” and promises of high returns, wealth, residual income, or “financial freedom” if they join, whilst simultaneously promoting many self-help concepts.
We also take a look at what exactly a Pyramid Scheme is, how to spot one, and whether the accusations against network marketing companies are deserved.
The pursuit of wealth and financial freedom can often be consuming – the question is who out there is choosing to exploit these desires…

the pyramid scheme influencer epidemic
sorry that the intro mentions videos that are like weeks old now i look like a damn fool lkdjgldfk but its just cause this video was pre filmed and supposed to be up a few weeks back but i decided to hold off on it till now! also for any bethanys or karens y’all get a free imaginary rubber duck for being the stock names in this video :-)))
*alSOOO tiffanyferg posted a similar video last week so if you want to see a more informative video on the subject beyond me just clowning around check hers out :PP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3FzGJMFO7I&t;=880s
honestly all this video proves is that if i was in a class with all of y’all id be the last one you’d want reading out loud during class reading and u know it.
HI HELLO this video honestly is all over the place but HAPPY DUCK WEEK if y’all subscribe you get an inFLATEABLE DUCK I’m not kidding i will find you liam neeson style and deliver u a ripe rubber duck whats better than that!!!! (i really hope at the point that you are reading this you have seen the duck week portion of this video if not you are probably hovering over that unsubscribe button which honestly i don’t blame you for) anyways i thought today we could take a break from magcon and team ten and instead look at our fellow boss babes infiltrating our instagram dm’s and berating us to join their team of boss ass women who slay all day and aren’t gold diggers, but rather goal diggers. the world of pyramid schemes and multi level marketers is weird as hell but also interesting as hell in my opinion and the stuff people cook up to try and drag you in under them so they can make money is even more entertaining so i thought today we could look at some of the videos mlm’s advertise, the stuff they offer and of course, the dm’s people receive from our favourite boss babes bc they get wILD to say the least
**of course underneath the humour of this there are some seriously upsetting events that happen as a result of these companies so check up on your friends and fam if they are getting involved/thinking about getting involved in pyramid schemes/mlms that they aren’t aware of and get them to check out that mlm verifier site before they get themselves into any unnecessary trouble!!!

Pyramid scheme
A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes quickly impossible, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.
Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century in different guises. Some multilevel marketing plans have also been classified as pyramid schemes.
Concept and basic models
In a pyramid scheme an organization compels individuals to join and make a payment. In exchange, the organization promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit. The directors of the organization (those at the top of the pyramid) also receive a share of these payments. For the directors, the scheme is potentially lucrative—whether or not they do any work, the organization's membership has a strong incentive to continue recruiting and funneling money to the top of the pyramid.

There was just one problem -- the vast majority of members earned less than they paid in. Stacie Bosley explains what a pyramid scheme is and how to spot one.

These companies follow a Multi-Level Marketing model, that means they often do not sell their products/services via retailers, but through a workforce of people sometimes called their “distributors”. This strategy is also often labelled as Network Marketing.
Examples of these companies are: Herbalife, Amway, ACN, Younique, LuLaRoe, Arbonne, Beachbody, doTerra, Mary Kay, Nu Skin, etc.
Although it seems ordinary on the surface, many of these companies have received a great amount of backlash, with entire communities built to oppose these companies (often labelled as the anti-mlm community).
The question here is: why the backlash?
In this video we dive into the industry and the reasoning behind the backlash, as well as the shady practices some MLM companies use in order to keep their distributors inside the company.
Some of these practices include the selling of a “dream” and promises of high returns, wealth, residual income, or “financial freedom” if they join, whilst simultaneously promoting many self-help concepts.
We also take a look at what exactly a Pyramid Scheme is, how to spot one, and whether the accusations against network marketing companies are deserved.
The pursuit of wealth and financial freedom can often be consuming – the question is who out there is choosing to exploit these desires…

the pyramid scheme influencer epidemic
sorry that the intro mentions videos that are like weeks old now i look like a damn fool lkdjgldfk but its just cause this video was pre filmed and supposed to be up a few weeks back but i decided to hold off on it till now! also for any bethanys or karens y’all get a free imaginary rubber duck for being the stock names in this video :-)))
*alSOOO tiffanyferg posted a similar video last week so if you want to see a more informative video on the subject beyond me just clowning around check hers out :PP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3FzGJMFO7I&t;=880s
honestly all this video proves is that if i was in a class with all of y’all id be the last one you’d want reading out loud during class reading and u know it.
HI HELLO this video honestly is all over the place but HAPPY DUCK WEEK if y’all subscribe you get an inFLATEABLE DUCK I’m not kidding i will find you liam neeson style and deliver u a ripe rubber duck whats better than that!!!! (i really hope at the point that you are reading this you have seen the duck week portion of this video if not you are probably hovering over that unsubscribe button which honestly i don’t blame you for) anyways i thought today we could take a break from magcon and team ten and instead look at our fellow boss babes infiltrating our instagram dm’s and berating us to join their team of boss ass women who slay all day and aren’t gold diggers, but rather goal diggers. the world of pyramid schemes and multi level marketers is weird as hell but also interesting as hell in my opinion and the stuff people cook up to try and drag you in under them so they can make money is even more entertaining so i thought today we could look at some of the videos mlm’s advertise, the stuff they offer and of course, the dm’s people receive from our favourite boss babes bc they get wILD to say the least
**of course underneath the humour of this there are some seriously upsetting events that happen as a result of these companies so check up on your friends and fam if they are getting involved/thinking about getting involved in pyramid schemes/mlms that they aren’t aware of and get them to check out that mlm verifier site before they get themselves into any unnecessary trouble!!!

Learn the techniques and tricks that pyramid schemes use to recruit new members and how to avoid being fooled yourself.
--
In 2004, a nutrition company offered a life-changing opportunity to earn a full-time income for part-time work. There were only two steps to get started: purchase a $500 kit and recruit two more members. By 2013, the company was making $200 million. There was just one problem -- the vast majority of members earned less than they paid in. Stacie Bosley explains what a pyramid scheme is and how to spot one.

Multi Level Marketing (MLM) companies have been around for a long while now. Yet their controversy seems endless, with accusations of being pyramid schemes, or operating in a cult like fashion…
It’s time we dive into the MLM industry and find out exactly what is going on…

These companies follow a Multi-Level Marketing model, that means they often do not sell their products/services via retailers, but through a workforce of people sometimes called their “distributors”. This strategy is also often labelled as Network Marketing.
Examples of these companies are: Herbalife, Amway, ACN, Younique, LuLaRoe, Arbonne, Beachbody, doTerra, Mary Kay, Nu Skin, etc.
Although it seems ordinary on the surface, many of these companies have received a great amount of backlash, with entire communities built to oppose these companies (often labelled as the anti-mlm community).
The question here is: why the backlash?
In this video we dive into the industry and the reasoning behind the backlash, as well as the shady practices some MLM companies use in order to keep their distributors inside the company.
Some of these practices include the selling of a “dream” and promises of high returns, wealth, residual income, or “financial freedom” if they join, whilst simultaneously promoting many self-help concepts.
We also take a look at what exactly a Pyramid Scheme is, how to spot one, and whether the accusations against network marketing companies are deserved.
The pursuit of wealth and financial freedom can often be consuming – the question is who out there is choosing to exploit these desires…

the pyramid scheme influencer epidemic
sorry that the intro mentions videos that are like weeks old now i look like a damn fool lkdjgldfk but its just cause this video was pre filmed and supposed to be up a few weeks back but i decided to hold off on it till now! also for any bethanys or karens y’all get a free imaginary rubber duck for being the stock names in this video :-)))
*alSOOO tiffanyferg posted a similar video last week so if you want to see a more informative video on the subject beyond me just clowning around check hers out :PP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3FzGJMFO7I&t;=880s
honestly all this video proves is that if i was in a class with all of y’all id be the last one you’d want reading out loud during class reading and u know it.
HI HELLO this video honestly is all over the place but HAPPY DUCK WEEK if y’all subscribe you get an inFLATEABLE DUCK I’m not kidding i will find you liam neeson style and deliver u a ripe rubber duck whats better than that!!!! (i really hope at the point that you are reading this you have seen the duck week portion of this video if not you are probably hovering over that unsubscribe button which honestly i don’t blame you for) anyways i thought today we could take a break from magcon and team ten and instead look at our fellow boss babes infiltrating our instagram dm’s and berating us to join their team of boss ass women who slay all day and aren’t gold diggers, but rather goal diggers. the world of pyramid schemes and multi level marketers is weird as hell but also interesting as hell in my opinion and the stuff people cook up to try and drag you in under them so they can make money is even more entertaining so i thought today we could look at some of the videos mlm’s advertise, the stuff they offer and of course, the dm’s people receive from our favourite boss babes bc they get wILD to say the least
**of course underneath the humour of this there are some seriously upsetting events that happen as a result of these companies so check up on your friends and fam if they are getting involved/thinking about getting involved in pyramid schemes/mlms that they aren’t aware of and get them to check out that mlm verifier site before they get themselves into any unnecessary trouble!!!

I actually signed up for a pyramid scheme just to troll the head boss. Yeah pyramid schemes don't work and now I'm moving to the next topic now. Hopefully this is the last video I post on this.

Pyramid scheme
A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes quickly impossible, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.
Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century in different guises. Some multilevel marketing plans have also been classified as pyramid schemes.
Concept and basic models
In a pyramid scheme an organization compels individuals to join and make a payment. In exchange, the organization promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit. The directors of the organization (those at the top of the pyramid) also receive a share of these payments. For the directors, the scheme is potentially lucrative—whether or not they do any work, the organization's membership has a strong incentive to continue recruiting and funneling money to the top of the pyramid.
