"Hey hun! I have SUCH a great opportunity for you! Want to earn money FAST from your phone? It is SO EASY!!" ... Ever received a message starting like this and riddled with emojis? Sorry to tell you, but your friend has been embroiled in an MLM!
We discuss what a pyramid scheme--oh oops, I mean, what an MLM is, why it's not as positive as they sound, and share our personal stories with them!
You will hear us referencing a bunch of other people's great work on this topic, so I have popped this below for you to check out! I got all of my financials for my case study straight from the Rodan & Fields Au website, however I will not be linking that here, because; yuck!
"The Dream" podcast by Little Everywhere & Witness Docs, hosted by Jane Marie and *sometimes* Dann Gallucci can be found on your podcast app of choice
Kiki Channel does a great job of breaking it all down, and is where you can see the training videos we mention: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0t8ifVlYGEFOXIor_RDhKn_8lc_D-IkR
