I've had two Uber drivers pitch me on MLM and say it made them ridiculously rich. Why are you driving Uber at 2am then?

@bdholman89 3 жыл бұрын

They’re probably doing it to find more down line actually. I drove with Uber to make ends meet. Never drove anyone I knew beforehand. Could be easy for drivers to pitch MLMs since they probably won’t drive the same person again

@@bdholman89 right that's exactly why the driving Uber. Let's be real over 65% of most people in mlms don't make over a minimum wage annual salary.

The only good one I’ve seen is Amway. Products are actually top notch I use them. Products were expensive but they’ve come down in price substantially.

And from what I know the “education systems” are not part of the company. They are third party systems designed to “help” but they are actually the reason why their reputation has been tainted and most people want nothing to do with Amway. But by its self, the core business model, it’s actually really good and if you work hard at it I’ve seen people join and make good money.

John, can you explain to me how you don't know a thing about MLMs? I'm sure you can go on long rants about whole life insurance? They're essentially the same but subtracting out the multi-level part. I appreciate Dave's plan and guidance, but I wish we'd identify everything predatory instead of cherry picking ones without a vested interest. A little integrity and accountability would be nice. Stop victim shaming this guy.

@@bethanymehling5025 The only good one I’ve seen is Amway. Products are actually top notch I use them. Products were expensive but they’ve come down in price substantially. I’m not in it but I know people who are and they make pretty good money as a side hustle. The bad thing is some of the “education system”. That’s where the brainwashing happens. And from what I know the “education systems” are not part of the company. They are third party systems designed to “help” but they are actually the reason why their reputation has been tainted and most people want nothing to do with Amway. But by its self, the core business model, it’s actually really good and if you work hard at it I’ve seen people join and make good money.

I've heard Ramsey express support of MLMs. But depending on the MLM, the business practices can be extremely predatory. They purposefully target vulnerable women. That being said, I feel they focused on the husband instead of the wife's mishandling of their funds. She has to pay her coach to continue. On average she is making maybe $5 a day while signing a check for thousands for unsold product. Not only that, the social strain of her calling friends and family and bombarding personal social media accts to guilt others into the business. The wife and husband need to join together and get therapy seek a pastors council-- get on the same page financially and see if this business is a money maker or a money breaker. As a stay at home mom, I vow to never fall for the predatory practices of an MLM. 🤷🏻‍♀️Just saying.
