No matter how much she makes all the money doesn’t go to her personally but to her business. She must draw a monthly salary that has been put in the budget of the company. She must have lots of running costs like the salaries of the people who work for her, accountants and taxes. Let’s no forget her new office (monthly rent, cleaning service, refurbishing). I don’t think she personally makes much money.

I would think the app was around 200k to build, hard to say exactly without seeing the app & how complex or simple it is. Then there is a 30% App Store fee for Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. Then the other fees you mentioned, running expenses, the elaborate photo shoots etc.

There was just that one photoshoot so far which can be written off as a business expense. She is cheap. Clothes, haircuts, cosmetics - all either bargained or bartered in exchange for the influenssssherr promise.
She outsources contractors, most of them from the Philippines, so I imagine they do the work for smaller fees than what a Swiss or any other European would charge. Some admin and moderating is outsourced, yes, but all the marketing... she handles it herself. Because she shared this during a job interview and she also is too paranoid to let someone handle the contacts, as she has mental tabs on who to block and which subscriber is the infiltrator. :D

Her material is definitely low quality. Bad English, typos, poorly edited images, just messy work in general. I am not surprised much of it is done in-house. Like in this image, I circled the part where she forgot to remove a chunk of the background.

The app could have been the $80 per month subscription. I think she went for the Pro version and spent months going back and forth with the company so it's probably a more expensive plan.
If she has approx 2000 paying members, that's $500k she's made ($297 fee). But there's no guarantee that any of these women will renew their membership for another year.
You have to take into account the fact that she lives in Geneva where the cost of living is high. She's renting a property (the park/farmland apartment/office) and paying for her company to be legally registered. I have no idea how she went about registering Bey International SA but Carl must charge a lot of money for his services. Her endless trademarks cost money with the legal fees. On top of that she has to be paying taxes. The other costs would be the numerous domains she's bought and the website hosting. She's also got several pro/business Vimeo accounts and professional social media (Kajabi, prezly). The courses and education she's done are expensive (colour me beautiful/IVP/matchmaking institute). Anna is too lazy to edit all by herself so she probably outsources her video editing. She pays for promoted advertising on ig and fb.
The fake influencer crap she does also costs money. Didn't she attend vidcon London as a creator? She's not a famous youtuber who would be paid to attend so she must have bought the ticket for creators and paid to attend as a youtuber.

That looks like her skirt is going through a cheese grater!

I forgot all of that, thanks for listing it down. With the vidcon she may have sneaked in as press for free, getting a journalist's accreditation.
 
Thank you for calling me smart, that is very kind!

So I am glad that I met 4 women who I think I will keep in touch with forever, I would not have met them otherwise. But I do regret joining because this situation happened.
What I feel weird about is that someone with such a large YouTube platform is able to do this to someone who has respected and supported the content she taught; I actually was one of the people who took the time to give her my personal Google contact to try and recover her YouTube channel when it was hacked - they have this in their records. It has definitely given me a reason to step back and reevaluate the people I support virtually. Personally I did not know tattle before this and I am now trying to learn more about other creators I supported. I attached the supporting proof for the YouTube hack help. I believe that someone who does something like that deserves more respect than I received from this situation; at least being asked my side of the story, and listening to the many women who reached out to me who attended and loved my events.

I definitely use the free resources on YouTube, I go to a few networking events virtually lately, and I have some to talk to through work/mentorships! It is just more difficult to find girls my age who are doing similar things as me - or aspiring to. (I do not mean to say that I am doing anything impressive, just that I do not see many girls in the exact career path as me :)
I needed to make friends more than anything else at this point because I was struggling and I needed a new set of people to interact with, and I did get that. Luckily I am able to keep in contact!

If none of this had happened with me, I doubt that someone else wouldn't have been removed, so no I would not sign up again. Allegedly I ended up being the model black sheep that they seem to be using - "Don't be like that girl and do that" even though it was proved to be harmless and helpful because women are reaching out to me on all my other platforms because they realized I disappeared from the app. They remembered me and have questions about the finance event topics and want to keep in touch.

Finally, I do not trust this person anymore- someone feels the need to censor other women out of insecurity - even if they are a teenager who poses no threat to their business.

An update from the inside is that I heard allegedly that they are posting lots of "gentle reminders" about what not to do, mostly related to things from my event. My friend said that I was told one reason for being kicked out but are implying with these reminders that it was a simple breach of the rules- which is very different than what I was told. Allegedly they still have a career and finance tab to categorize forum posts. I do not know how they can have a career and finance category and expect that it will not be educational in any way lol. Even sharing a book recommendation is educational.


Thank you for responding, I am really sorry that your kindness was exploited. now I understand why she's so lonely and has no friends , her jealousy doesn't let her to even keep the nicest people around.

Again I am sorry you went through this experience. unfortunately there's more psychopaths in business/finance world that we need to be aware of.

And yes you sound very smart
 
Scammers like Anna Sorokin and Anna Bey-Hallit have no remorse for their victims. She actually tried to keep money from Netflix from telling her story. Their stories are so similar it is scary.


Sorokin turned 30 in prison, but she was in her mid-twenties when she spent time in New York City, telling people she had a $60m trust fund and an ambitious project to create an eponymous arts foundation.

She was, in fact, a recent magazine intern, who came from an ordinary family of Russian immigrants living in Germany. By staying in expensive hotels and presenting a jetset life on Instagram, she managed to trick others into believing her fantasy and picking up her bills. Using fake documents, she even convinced a bank to give her a $100,000 overdraft, before the police finally tracked her down.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I’m so sorry she was such an ungrateful backstabbing witch even after you personally helped her recover her YT channel (super appreciate you sharing those screenshots as well).

It’s insane that even after all that, she didn’t have the basic decency to reach out to you personally to find another resolution instead of just cutting you off. :confused:😡 But that action was ultimately a huge blessing in disguise. Who knows how many ideas she would’ve stolen from you down the road not to mention how much she would’ve personally benefited from all of your contacts??!! Wow.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your personal experience on the App with us. Just know that by doing that you’ve helped so many other girls from falling into the same trap!!

Stay strong. I know you mentioned feeling like you needed new friends, etc. I believe everything happens for a reason and now that you’re not on the App anymore, I believe this is an opportunity for you to either create your own platform or connect with other women via other mediums that you would’ve otherwise not had the chance to meet. If you were able to make an impact on so many women in just a month’s time, there’s no telling how much more is waiting for you on the other side of all of this!!! 🍀💫

Aija thought Anna Sorokin was an interesting case study for the JetsetBabe facebook group. She posted the article from Vice (or perhaps it was NY Times or Vox) on Facebook, when Sorokin was arrested back a few years ago. Obviously, it was a disclaimer along the lines here's what can happen, but I think she was rather fascinated by social-climbing strategies, shortcuts, and everything that goes with faking wealth.

Help Guys!
I just discovered some cellulites growing (sounds disgusting, lol) but I’m slightly panicked. I know once they start growing then it’s like super hard to get rid of them!
QUESTION:
How do I get rid of cellulites?
What form of exercise is the most efficient? Running? Other form of cardio? Weights? Leg excercises? WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS? :S
PLEASE HELP! I have 2.5 months to remove these fuckers.
Thank you

(damn lazy winter when I was just sitting at home on my ass eating rubbish. pay back time )

Yes I posted this a while back. All the links for the clothes are rstyle links so the influencer gets a commission from each purchase and the sites/brands are included on Anna's excel sheet of where to shop. I was thinking that this is a temporary placeholder for Anna's "elegant merch". Piroll is a website design company and the layout of Anna's shop is the basic template. This has to be a "future project". The SOA networking app was first available on the app store/play store in June 2020 so this will probably be the next scam she launches in 6-12 months

I need to move out!
Being away really gave me a reality check of my living situation and I’ve decided I’ve had enough of the place where I’m currently living. The location & standard is not great, and I really don’t feel like getting stuck here and end up living here for years just because I’m lazy to do something about it (!).
Since I’m re structuring my life, doing everything I can to achieve my dream life – I really need to sort out where I live. So today I started looking around and been swearing quite a lot – living in London with crazy expensive rents is not ideal for my wallet. Everything in my taste is too expensive, buuuuhuuu
I have friends who have sugar daddies paying their accommodation,
they always tell me I have to get one. I just laugh at them since It’s not my style living on someone elses money like that. But apperantly it’s very common. I could however not cross my morals even in times when I wish I was rich & lived in a castle. Than I rather just stay where I am

What do you think, would you get a sugar daddy?

“Morals”
But if she so against it why do she teach it and then charge for it?
Rather scummy of her.

I really believe anna have totally confused thick skin and high levels of oppourtunistic behaviour as her evidence of her own intelligence.
 
Has this been posted here before?

She should add this to her "elegant merch":

There was just that one photoshoot so far which can be written off as a business expense.
That photoshoot! I still can get over that fact that she wants to be seen (and I bet sees herself) as this socialite - arranging lavish dinner parties or getting invited to -

- and the reality: poorly arragend humus for wedding (!!!!!!!), the mall-sushi she served (soy sauce still in plastic bowls) -chips as only offerning for her guests the other time -

I really really do not understand. This has nothing to do with money- it is the effort and love you put into something- or not. You can make the humblest meal look fancy, if you only care enough for the details.

She is clearly mental. Like seriosly.

Having a reality check while falling in love
I’m currently on planet love with my summer fling, hence why I’m not blogging as I’m just caught up in my emotions and seeing this guy. BUT, (yes there is a but)… I’ve had a big reality check and realized that I can’t continue with this romance that is blooming.



Because It’s forbidden love.
And it’s not going to lead anywhere besides me getting more attached and more heart broken, so better to leave now while it’s not too bad.
It’s hard of course. but it would have been even harder later.
So I’m going to put my wise hat on and stop answering texts, calls and just disappear. In fact, I’m off to St Tropez tomorrow so kinda perfect timing.
It is what it is, be strong and move on.

(sorry blog for suffering, I’ll be back..)

Being pimped by the mystery girlfriend and maybe Bassam was the best thing that ever happened to her. If not she would still be in a flatshare in Zone 6 of London.
