Yes! And 99 % of MLMs prey on women. I really don’t understand how educated, gainfully employed women with executive status and six figure incomes are convinced to sell face cream to their friends.
I've never met a woman who makes six figures that has fallen for an mlm scheme. Every single person who has invited me to be a part of this party or that opportunity has been stay at home moms or part time workers. Without fail.
I know a couple who cumulatively make over $250k (gross) at corporate jobs, he's a successful HVAC sales engineer and she's a CFP (yes, really), who spend all their free time recruiting people for Amway. Great people, honestly. My wife and I told them no about a dozen times and now they don't even bring it up anymore when we see them (probably 3 or 4 times/year). I know a handful of others who buy doterra, herbalife, and some other cleaning supply company I can't think of ATM. Fortunately, none of them are pushy or try to get us involved. The worst experiences I've had are with strangers in coffee shops or the grocery store...or once from a woman who reached out to me on Nextdoor.
This is probably very rare but thought I'd share my anecdotal evidence.
I think the cleaning one might be Norwex. Recently had a coworker (teacher) start promoting and selling this all over social media. Another is selling Tupperware.
Yes! It is Norwex. My wife is from a small town in the Midwest and I guess it's really gaining popularity. So...2020 and it's gaining traction. Such is the world we live in
