MLMs are nightmares
Alert! There’s a HuffPo (that still exists) article on MLMs! (Multi level marketing). I know that these companies pray on the capitalist oppression that hinders us from reaching true happiness, but in this day, how can anyone still participate in these? If you have, please talk to me, I’m genuinely curious.
Sandra didn’t have a nice warm market of leads ― she didn’t pick her kids up from school every day, she wasn’t in a sorority in college, she didn’t have a huge network of friends. After a long while of getting nowhere, Sandra saw an ad for a customer relationship management system and decided to put the $4,000 on a credit card to get a pool of leads. It only resulted in 20.
She also spent about $1,000 in Facebook ads to get people to like her page and build a community of people who would buy from her. “That didn’t happen,” she said. She stuck with it for about two years, working 60 to 80 hours per week, and the most she ever earned in a year was $600. “I was working my ass off,” she said.
SANDRA! Take a hard look at yourself!
I’ve been feeling creative again, and have started a short story about the content moderation farms I talked about in the last post. I’m going to write a horror script based on MLMs.
