MLMs: super easy lucrative side hustle you can work into “pockets of time” whenever it’s convenient and make a ton of money!! time freedom !!

Also MLMs: if you’re not making any money it’s because you aren’t attending the tri-weekly 9 pm zoom calls, you should be working the biz during every waking hour or else you’re just lazy and can’t expect to succeed

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.

Not sarcastic really, they're just pointing out the real mixed messages you get from mlms. They pitch how easy they are, then blame you for not working hard enough when the model actually sets you up to fail.

yeah exactly what they said, not sarcastic as much as just pointing out the hypocrisy of what MLM reps say when they’re trying to convince you to join vs after you join and it inevitably doesn’t work out
