Basically she is selling a MLM (Multi Level Marketing product), which is nothing but a disguised pyramid scheme, such as Younique or ITWORKS etc. You probably came across those random people on FB who cold message you to "join their team" or "an opportunity".

They promise that you can earn 5 figure salaries and drive flashy cars if you join, but your performance is usually based on recruiting other people into the company (scheme) where they usually have to pay a fee to join or pay for products to try and sell. Very few people actually earn decent money from doing it. I don't think they should be allowed!

People who work for them are usually adamant they're not a pyramid scheme too 😂

There’s a very interesting documentary on BBC about it. It’s basically a popularity contest. The popular people who sign people up are successful.

You sign a team up. Any commission from that team you get.
Your team sign a team up. Any commission from that team you get a cut
The teams team sign a team up.... etc

the person at the top of the pyramid is the winner because commission is filtering back to them through every level

Unfortunately the apprentice has gone down hill and seems to want personalities rather than the ‘best business minds’ which is what it used to claim.
Its only recently we’re getting constestants that I feel don’t really care about their business but want to be reality stars and z listers...Ever since around the Katie Hopkins times I’d say

Totally agree. Especially people like Lottie...
I’d love to see all their business ideas. I can’t imagine what Ryan Mark’s was?!
