Why is it that nearly every middle aged woman I know of is in an MLM scheme?
It seems like most mlm reps are middle aged moms too.
Unfortunately it’s because many of these women are being preyed on with the pitch about them being able to make money and stay at home. Many of them were (or are) stay at home moms who don’t have the opportunity or the experience to really get a high paying job. I’m not knocking stay at home moms or working from home - I do both. (My business is freelance transcription work, not pyramid sales, and I do actually make money from it, but that’s neither here nor there.) So it’s pitched to them as “Make easy money and still be able to spend time with your children!” Add onto that that the older generation for the most part aren’t as internet savvy and don’t have the know-how to be able to find reliable answers online, so they just trust whoever has pulled them into it, and you have many middle aged women falling for it.
This is the best answer to any question I have ever asked while I was stoned, you are 100% right. It's really sad to see so many good hard working women lose everything because they just want to provide something better for the children and feel independent. I don't know how those responsible for these schemes sleep at night.
