#180: The Truth Behind MLMs: Why They’re Shifting to Affiliate Marketing

Inspired Budget

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the world of MLMs (multi-level marketing companies) and why so many of them, like Bodi (formerly Beachbody) and BeautyCounter, are switching to affiliate marketing models. What’s the difference between these models, and how does it impact the people who’ve built their income around MLMs?

We’ll cover:

  • What MLMs really are and why they target women
  • Why some MLMs feel eerily similar to pyramid schemes
  • The big shift to affiliate marketing and how it’s leaving many coaches blindsided

Plus, I share my thoughts on feeling torn: I empathize with people losing income, but I’m also relieved that some shady practices are coming to an end. Tune in to hear the full story!
