MLM company scams are everywhere. So, just what is an MLM company? Better known as multi-level marketing companies, MLMs are businesses that involve selling products to family and friends while recruiting other people to do the same (think: Avon, Doterra, Arbonne, Rodan and Fields, and more). Except that only 1% of people who join an MLM company will actually turn a profit.
Today, weâre exploring the dark side of MLMs with Peabody and Emmy Awardâwinning journalist and author, Jane Marie. Jane Marie is the former producer of This American Life and most recently, Michelle Obamaâs âThe Lightâ podcast. As host of The Dream podcast, Jane Marie joins us to chat about her debut book, Selling The Dream The Billion-Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans, a must-read exposĂŠ on the deceptive truths behind MLMs.
PS - Be sure to check out Jane Marieâs latest podcast called âFinally a Show!â
In this episode, youâll hear:
Are MLMs actually pyramid schemes? What it *really* takes to get that fancy car from an MLM companyHow some MLM participants are having to seek out âdeprogrammingâ therapyWhy so many people donât report their experiences of getting scammed by an MLM companyThe popular brand at Sephora that is a low-key MLMPlus!
