15 Mar Why I am not interested in your multi-level marketing product

Some days I feel like there is a big target on my back telling all the multi-level marketing people out there to “sell your products to me.” In all seriousness though, weekly, sometimes daily, someone reaches out to me via social media asking me if I would be interested in their product, often claiming it will help me to get pregnant. And lately, it’s been draining.

First let me start by saying that I think multi-level marketing companies are great and I fully support those who work for them. In fact, I myself am a distributor of Young Living essential oils and Stella and Dot jewelry. While I don’t spend much time with either of these companies, they are companies that I enjoy being a part of it. I love all my jewelry and I love substituting oils for medicine and pursuing a healthy and natural life, which I have referenced many times throughout this blog. I think multi-level marketing companies are great in that it gives people an opportunity to stand behind a company they believe in, make some extra cash and make their own hours. But, unfortunately, there are several downsides to them as well.

It gives me a bad taste in my mouth when people try to “friend” me only to end up trying to sell me their product and unfortunately that is what I don’t like about multi-level marketing. When it becomes more about making money off of me and claiming that they can fix my problems, than truly caring about me, is when I believe the lines have been crossed. But, it’s more than just that. When people message me telling me I WILL conceive after using their product, it tells me that they believe their product is bigger than my God. It makes me sad that people think after 5 years, their new supplement, drink, oil, powder {insert product here} will be the magic potion to bring a baby to my womb. If getting pregnant were that easy, I would be pregnant by now. 

The tone in this post isn’t anger, because I am not angry. Annoyed, a little bit, haha, but it’s really informational to tell all those who are selling a product out there, that it’s not your product that is going to create a baby inside me, it’s God! All God. Yes, God might use medicine or a supplement to do so, but even if there is some magic potion that helps, he will still get all the glory. So, please know if you work for a multi-level marketing company, I fully support what you do and will back you up and encourage you in any way. But I also need to remind you that although the product you might be selling is fabulous and helpful, it’s not your product that will make me pregnant, it is ALL God!
