This week we look at the psychology behind the foundation of LuLaRoe and other MLMs, including ideas like deceptive recruitment and “lovebombing.”  Steven Hassan, founder of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center, will break down the mind control tactics built into the recruitment and social control of MLM participants, and how they overlap with cult tactics. We’ll also talk about questions you can ask yourself - and the red flags to look out for - if you’re being recruited by an MLM.

How did the anti-LuLaRoe movement start?  Much of the pushback began with women sharing their stories online after receiving defective products. And after the company changed their bonus structure, there was a mass exodus of retailers. Many organized largely via Facebook groups and blogs, including the “LuLaRoe Defective” Facebook group, which at one point had over 75,000 members. Former LuLaRoe consultant and anti-MLM advocate Roberta Blevins describes how the group galvanized women to take a stand, and ultimately take down LuLaRoe.

LulaRoe targeted stay-at-home moms as their primary demographic. The company would market to these moms directly by touting flexibility and the idea of “full time pay for part-time work.” While appearing to support moms, the reality was they targeted women who felt undervalued, preying on women’s desires to feel “productive” and contribute to their family financially. Meg Conley, writer of the “Homeculture” newsletter, discusses  why these women are often locked out of the labor market, and how LulaRoe built their business on this so-called “underutilized resource” of stay-at-home-moms.
