Wow, the more I learn about this stuff, the creepier it is.

From here:

"But more than likely you will end up alienating some family and friends. ... You won't be allowed to tell anyone how you are really doing, for example. You will always have to think positive, even if that means lying. You will have to tell anyone who asks that you are doing great, that business is wonderful, that you've never seen anything go so fast and bring you income so quickly, even if it isn't true."

Yech! Yech, yech, yech!

AYRT Yeah that's part of what bothers me about all the facebook posts, it's always "Yes things are the best and these products are the best!" and now instead of sounding like herself she sounds like a really bad infomercial. I understand the positivity from a business perspective, but this shit goes too far.

The reason I haven't blocked her completely is because she does still have unrelated posts, but I really wish I could somehow block the business posts (facebook doesn't let you be that specific about content blocking, you can only block a person in general really.)

Yeah, that's really creepy cult shit there, turning someone's personality into merely a vehicle for *sparkles* THE PRODUCT!

And trust me, I sell stuff through my LJ/DW. If bad things are happening, I DO say so. (They might be filtered, but they still go up.) Part of being a small fish businessman is (for me) trying to be interesting, entertaining, and someone people want to give money to. Relentless phony positivity is not interesting or entertaining; it's creepy and fake. And trying to pressure all my readers to give me money is just tacky. If people are interested, awesome! If not, I will post other things for them to enjoy.

I would never, EVER want to treat my online friends or commenters as purely vehicles to squeeze money out of! That'd be just gross.

Oh yeah I run my own business so I know what it's like but I could never do something like MLM because I want people to get what they paid for and I don't want to spend my whole life advertising. I'd probably go into debt if I tried one of those schemes because every time someone wasn't satisfied I'd refund them, I just can't take money from people in that way.

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to spend your whole life advertising. It'd be boring and draining as hell. MLM is just gross as hell, yuck.

What kind of business do you have?
