Pyramid Scheme Ads

[Rain Man]

I passed a pickup on my way home from work tonight, and it had a big sticker on the back that said,

"Make $30k a month or more with Qivana" (and then a phone number).

I want to know how the conversation went that resulted in "or more" being added.

So I'm envisioning that these people are sitting around the room and they're all making about $75 a month selling fruit juice or something to their grandparents. They need to recruit people below them in the pyramid, so they come up with the idea to put an ad on their truck.

"How about 'earn $75 a month with Qivana'?"

"That's not enough. No one would be stupid enough to do that."

"How about $100? That's a lot."

"Still not enough. How about $1,000?"

"$1,000? I've never seen that much money. But is it lifechanging? Can we get, like doctors and stuff to sell Qivana? I want everyone to sell it."

"Oh! Oh! How about $10,000? TEN THOUSAND! You could buy a house with that much money! Every month!"

"Too many zeroes. People will get confused. Let's just go with $30,000."

"$30,000 it is. Make up to $30,000 a month."

"But ... wait. We want to get everyone. What if $30,000 isn't enough? The really good salespeople may want to make more."

"That's why you're a genius. Let's make it $30,000 or more. That way we'll get everyone to call. No one can resist that."

For every two people who rep me on this thread and mention your name in the comment, I'll rep you. Now you do the same with others, and rep me once for every four reps you get. Everyone wins.

My Ex Wife is an executive milf. She's no dummy & pulls about 300k per year - anyhow - I heard from my ex neighbor she and her new pro golf husband (club pro) - approached him about a scheme involving a cure all African tree - he said she seemed almost brain washed, Tim said he sent them packing and said "NFW."

I got caught up in some of that shit. Boy did I throw some money out the window. The relatively small bunch of gurus that are always in first on these different schemes are always the ones that make the money every time and they always pretend to take you under their wing. To think of the money I wasted on this shit just pisses me off.

Water under the bridge. I hate to think about it.

My son got swindled into an energy drink scheme. He just refused to listen to me and wasted $160. Vemma

What can be bad? And you reap rewards of gold and jewels while helping others....

One of my exes had parents that loved that shit, they had these damn Algea Pills, phone cards, fuel cards, insurance, you name the pyramid scheme, they were probably trying to do it.

There was one of those MLM schemes that used to advertise relentlessly on the radio where I lived at the time, called the "3 Step Plan". You can listen to all these radio commercials and infomercials and even go to their website and still have no clue what they expect you to do for the money they say you can earn. Eventually I found out that it's selling some health drink like many of these other schemes are. You had to buy $100 in product a month and it sold for $40 a bottle.

Yea i got a buddy who;s sucked i nto this life leadership BS. He is delusional and totally brainwashed. they have cult meetings. He wasted an hour of my life coming over trying to get me to join and then bugged me for about a month after. I didnt tgell him to GTFO of my house the moment he opened his mouth because i used to have respect for the guy. Now hes signed up for their gold membership or whatever dumping like $500 down the toilet every month paying for information that you can find for free on the internet. Sad how dumb people are...............

Years ago, a friend of my wife’s was all about some new ‘business’. Was constantly trying to get us to buy into it. His sales pitch was like “imagine… a place where you could go, and buy anything you needed. Shoes. Home décor. Automotive etc. what would you say to an idea like that”.

I said “so…like, the internet”?


…silence. Lol. Dumbass. He was basically pitching what is effectively Amazon; a one stop shop (for the most part).
He literally wasted away about $20k / his entire savings up to that point. Haven’t heard from him in years, but he’s definitely not a millionaire as he claimed he would be.
