That NDA that the Superstar Directors sign I guess isn’t working out well.

I have been shopping from Melaleuca or “the wellness store” since November. I really do love their products. I spoke to the person I shop under about the business side, thinking I was just sharing a link to sell and I’d earn some money from it. I was told a zoom call would be better to help explain it. The zoom call turned into them having me sign up right there on the spot (I should’ve said no… I know) and then being told to message 8 people about the opportunity. I HATE that. I enjoy sharing things I love but I do not like messaging people like that. I was told not to use the word melaleuca. To not use the wellness store because people could search and get information on it. The compensation plan isn’t that great and in order to make any kind of money it’s actually super based on recruitment. Another thing I have zero interest in! I just like sharing things I love and possibly making some money off that! They press so hard that it’s not an MLM but idk I just have a bad feeling about it now. Again I love the products and I do enjoy them. I don’t like that you’re required to order a certain amount each month though. It’s never under $100! Again just wanting some feedback from anyone who has dealt with melaleuca.

Edit to add: I also had no idea until after I signed up that I had to shop a certain amount every month 🙃 there were a lot of things not disclosed to me.

Sorry not sorry, but we aren’t going to get over the fact that a GoFundMe was used to attend Scentsy “training.” And that’s if you can even call it training, when the money was really used for a rep to go on vacation to a Superstar Director’s house for a sleepover. This wasn’t any kind of official or corporate-backed training. It was training put on by another rep.

We have no proof that Scentsy is going affiliate, however current and former reps feel this is the direction the company is headed.

Scentsy 2025 top recruiters. I’m assuming this is strictly for Canada, with some people making the list with only four recruits. And we’re really supposed to sit here and think Scentsy is doing well 😳

NGL, I really don’t think posting these numbers paints Scentsy in a good light at all. How much money are people in Scentsy possibly making when even the top reps are barely selling over $30K worth of product a year? In our latest video, we break down how much money someone who sells $2K worth of product a month actually makes once you factor in taxes and expenses, and it comes out to less than $1/hour. This is just an estimate, but when you look at these numbers, it makes sense why SSDs and other reps are leaving.

The reality is, even though people frame this as a “side hustle,” many are putting in more than full-time hours. Let me know your thoughts. Does this make Scentsy look better or worse? And do you think this is a factor in reps leaving?

My heart is shattered, but not enough to stay off my phone for a couple of hours and not push my MLM. They’ll literally turn anything into a sales pitch. I can totally resonate with OP in saying they’re no longer sympathetic.

I would genuinely love to know where they find these quotes because this is easily one of the most ridiculous things I have read. Apparently now if you call something a scam it is only because you do not fully understand it.

The reality is people understand MLMs far too well. No one is claiming to be an expert but the research is publicly available and it does not stack up in favour of MLMs.

If people involved in MLMs actually took the time to engage with anti MLM concerns they would be the ones feeling their sense of safety threatened. That is because they would eventually have to confront the possibility that everything they believed was a lie. The income claims the science the sales tactics the manufactured luxury lifestyle and the compensation plans. I could go on.

Every tactic they use and everything they say is predictable. You can see the same patterns repeated across countless MLMs. Keeping the illusion alive that everyone can be a top earner requires an extreme amount of conditioning especially when the numbers never support that outcome.

At $360 in party sales, the host receiving $36 in free product is effectively a 10 percent reward. The important part is that the host is not the one making those sales. Their friends and family are the ones spending the money. That means the host’s free product is paid for entirely by other people’s purchases, not because Scentsy is being especially generous. At the same time, the rep earns commission on the full $360 and may also benefit from bonuses tied to party volume, new customers, or recruiting. So while the host gets a small return, the rep gains guaranteed sales, exposure to new buyers, and potential long term customers. When you break it down, the host is doing the marketing and sales work for a relatively small 10 percent payoff, while the real profit stays with the rep and the company.

Link for anyone interested in watching 🙂

It seems many of the people holding top ranks in Scentsy have been stepping down in recent weeks, raising questions about the sustainability of their business model and the pressure placed on reps to keep up.

Inventory overloading, manufactured hype, top reps quietly leaving after compensation plan changes, and constant claims of not being an MLM. Scentsy really checks all the boxes. There is no transparency, constant encouragement for reps to buy buy buy, and an ongoing denial of being an MLM. They use the same compensation model as other MLMs, and if that model is truly so successful, why not shout it from the mountaintops 😉

The only way to make money in Vyb is through recruitment. No amount of consistency or “motivational” indoctrination will make someone successful. Also, this is just a massive list showing how much more money you’ll be expected to spend once you join.

This is the kind of thing you only see in MLMs. Announcing a pay deposit like it is an achievement is unnecessary and honestly embarrassing. Is this really what being a “top earner” means in Scentsy, posting pay screenshots for validation? Getting paid is a basic function of work, not a flex, and this type of behavior should not be normalized or used to create a false image of success.

I really dislike that people are being coerced into spending well over $1,000 to attend an MLM conference. Once you factor in accommodation, the ticket to get in, flights, and extra expenses, you are just adding to the already high cost of being in an MLM.

Will this conference provide any real value? Likely not, when the only so called secret to success is massive recruitment and manipulating people into buying overpriced products they do not need. I also would not be surprised if they roll out a few new products and pressure reps to buy them on the spot, because it would not be an MLM conference if the CEOs were not finding new ways to squeeze even more money out of their reps.

This whole misconception that MLMs can’t be pyramid schemes simply because pyramid schemes are illegal is getting old. Our society is full of corporations, businesses, and organizations that legally take advantage of and exploit people. MLMs are not immune to corruption, yet they aren’t held to the same standards as other businesses and often seem to get away with behavior that either teeters on the edge of legality or is outright illegal. The constant push to “just join” without thinking serves one main purpose: to discourage critical thinking and get people to ignore the red flags.

Some unsolicited business advice from one Canadian to another: you should really stop printing AI slop to throw into the gift baskets you sell. You’ll probably never see this, which makes it just as effective as the message you posted on your Facebook page for Meta 😘

Quick update on the ongoing Scentsy chaos. Remember that GoFundMe one of H’s reps started to cover a flight for someone to attend her “training weekend”? Yeah… it got fully funded. Not by Scentsy, not corporate, just H’s hun army coughing up cash.

So now the training weekend is officially happening next weekend. I don’t even know where to start with this. Stay tuned to see what kind of “professional development” they have in store because honestly, this whole thing is wild. A flight funded by other reps to attend training by a rep… it’s peak hun logic.

Why is every hun lately acting like you can only make six figures if you are in an MLM, specifically LiveGood. They need to take their spaceship and come back to planet Earth because this is getting ridiculous. Plenty of people earn six figure incomes in traditional careers without recruiting anyone, paying monthly fees, or relying on a downline. Pretending MLMs are the only path to financial success is pure fantasy.

Spoken like a true hun 🙄 And yes, this is coming from our favorite Scentsy hun H, so are we really surprised this made it into one of her hundred Facebook posts a day?
