I tried to be nice. I didn't want to crush his dreams of getting rich by doing nothing but also want nothing to do with it.

You guys are really ignorant. It's Multi-Level-Marketing and it can work. Most people don't make it happen but it's not a pyramid scheme because your spot is not determined by the time you get in. This guy could pass his recruiter in the ranking system.

It works good when you're the people that start it or get in at the beginning. It works shitty when you're at the end and everyones already done it/nobody wants to fuck with you/ the places gets shut down or whatever else.


I knew somebody that made money selling cutco knives. I know a lot of people that never made any money selling those things.


Also just watching the video to try and grasp how people are getting so hooked. 3:25 "results not typical"

Can anyone break this one down for me. I understand the cutco one and some of the others but I just heard about this for the first time in this thread.


I'm curious where this all came from, how people are getting roped in, what it costs, if they're selling energy drinks that they have to buy or just recruiting more people to pay into the system.

Most of my friends don't do shit like this so I'm curious. From what I gathered it seems like you pay into the system to sell this product, then make a small amount of money back for every person you recruit, the drink is irrelevant, and that's about it.

Am I missing anything?

ya but its the whole manipulating your friends thing that i dont like. you basically have to beg them to drop $500 so you can make money, and theres a good chance they wont make that back. i dont do that to my friends...

Jesus, that's what I was wondering. 500 bucks to get in on it?


How is that not a pyramid scheme studio. You pay 500 bucks to get in, the product doesn't matter and you make money by convincing other people to get in under you and drop the $500.

Young people revolution lol.


I'm going to do this with ski wax or something. Maybe tall tees. Anybody want in. We gotta make it sound cool so we can rope everyone in. Maybe have some kids hitting the trick parks in out video so the youth know we're legit.

its not actually 500 dollars. the entry is 150 per month for your case of 48 cans or whatever and its a money back guarantee

each person you sign on earns you 20 dollars. do the math thats 7.5 people needed to make your money back. there is some little bullshit where if you sign 3 people in 3 days or something like that you get a 50 dollar bonus.
the catch to the money back guarantee is if you dont earn the 150 back in the first month, you need to send back all 48 of your cans (who the fuck is gonna have all their empty cans lying around)

if you want the verve bmw you need to buy the 500 dollar package within 90 days or something like that. not really sure about any of the residual income stuff either.

I read that the bmw was just a lease and you had to maintain a certain amount of sales or would lose it.

Also you run out of people to sign up at a certain point, that's how pyramid scams work. If you're at the bottom there are already so many people involved you're on that last tier and there's nobody to get in below you.


I bet a lot of people do the 500 thing to try and get the car

this energy drink is not real and does not exist other than these bullshit sample cans they charge you 3 fucking dollars a pop for, you idiots arent selling an energy drink all you are doing is getting more idiots to believe the same bullshit that you believe so this bullshit company can sell you 48 cans for $150

Energy drink and healthy can't be used in the same sentence. Y'all just need to drink some damn coffee.

Sparknotes: This girl better known as satan hits me up on facebook. Trying to figure out what it's about. Thought maybe she was doing a survey for school or trying to get me to buy her booze. I stayed in the conversation out of sheer curiosity when BOOM she dropped the "I'm in some sick company making tons of money" and I was like Click for larger image

When will this shit die out.

So you're tellin me you found this sick get rich quick scheme where you do nothing but drink energy drinks and party, yet you have to hit people up on facebook that you barely know and convince them to join?

Literally have had kids text me for 30 minutes and I'm wondering why they start talking to me after never talking to them in school, then they drop the bomb. "Ya so what're you doing to make money? I got this sick product!" Fuuuuuuuuu


Also, check out @YPRbroYPR on twitter.

Pretty much you're partially paying for the guy in front of you and the only way you get paid is finding more suckers. Eventually the gravy train will halt and hopefully you're not run over by it.


I've had too many people come to me with this and saying they will cut me in and saying "ITS NOT A PYRAMID SCHEME"

Just checked that out, good shit. Also stumbled across this video looking something up



Dude tells people it's a good idea to sell their xbox, guitar, or even blood to get enough money to buy the silver pack or whatever. People be crazy. Also the way he describes the ladder = more of how is this not a pyramid scheme.
