Woman-sphere: social media is for woman

08/26/2025

Yes, there’s enough space for conservative nationalist woman to hock their snake oils implants, weaves, marriage tips, books, and vitamin injections, etc., on a Podcast. Speaking as a former late 1980’s trad wife, I sold snake oils, vitamins, and slim down drinks long before an influencer was on social media. Our church was social media. In fact, Christian women are way better at selling- it’s a family/faith grift. Mix beauty, health, family and faith, and show me the money. One friend, in the 90’s, she took home $10,000 a month selling weight loss and vitamins. She’s changed hands & companies (the other was sued out of existence) a few times, but she’s still hocking the same grift. She’s utilizing all the socials too. Why not?
Bonus???
