Bridget Read’s ‘Little Bosses Everywhere’

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me in PITTSBURGH on May 15 at WHITE WHALE BOOKS, and in PDX on Jun 20 at BARNES AND NOBLE with BUNNIE HUANG. More tour dates (London, Manchester) here.

Pyramid schemes are as American as apple pie. If you doubt it, just read Little Bosses Everywhere, Bridget Read's deeply researched, horrifying, amazing investigative book on the subject, which is out today from Crown:

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/715421/little-bosses-everywhere-by-bridget-read/

Read, an investigative journalist at Curbed, takes us through the history of the "industry," which evolved out of Depression-era snake oil salesmen, Tupperware parties, and magical thinking cults built around books like Think and Grow Rich. This fetid swamp gives rise to a group of self-mythologizing scam artists who found companies like Amway and Mary Kay, claiming outlandish – and easily debunked – origin stories that the credulous press repeats, alongside their equally nonsensical claims about the "opportunities" they are creating for their victims.

In Read's telling, there's only two kinds of MLM participants: suckers (who lose lots of and lots of money) and predators (who rake in that money). MLMs pretend that they're doing "direct sales," cutting out the middleman to peddle vitamins, household cleaners, cosmetics, tights or jewelry. But the actual sales volume of these products rounds to zero. The money in the system – tens of billions of dollars per year in the US alone – is almost entirely being spent by "salespeople" who are required to buy a certain amount of "product" every month, either as a condition of membership, or in order to attain some kind of bonus or status.

The "salespeople" in these systems are effectively in a cult, and the high-pressure techniques that Read describes will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with cultic dynamics, or even just a casual listener to the Conspirituality podcast:

https://www.conspirituality.net/episodes

And, as with other cults, MLM members are tormented endlessly by other cult members into trying to recruit their friends and family-members. Sometimes, they succeed, and the cult grows a little – but usually not for very long. Most people who get recruited into an MLM quickly figure out that it's impossible to make any money – indeed, it's impossible to avoid losing a lot of money – and bail.

The meat-and-potatoes of the MLM industry are the minority who don't see through the scam. They believe that they are deficient, because everyone else is reporting such incredible returns from "the program." They charge more product to their credit cards, insisting to their "uplines" that they are selling machines (and not that they are filling their garages and attics and living rooms and kitchen cupboards with unsold, unsellable junk). What they don't understand is that all the "successes" in the cult are either scammers who are getting rich off people like them, or they are people like them, going deep into debt and desperately trying to pretend that they're selling as well as those uplines.

The US government and various law enforcement agencies have taken various runs at these cults, but they cults have always won. That's down to enforcers buying into the cult leader/scammers' essential lie: that, at the end of the day, MLM is a system for selling things to people. That isn't true, has never been true, and never will be true. But by crafting rules and tests that attempt to sort the "legitimate" MLMs from the "scam" MLMs, enforcers fall into the scammers' trap. The scammers welcome rules that distinguish "good" MLMs from "bad" MLMs, because it's trivial to create the superficial appearance of adherence to these rules while flouting them. For example, if the rule says that "independent sales representatives" must sell to at least ten outside customers, they can simply make up the names of ten people and charge it to their card. This happens routinely, but there's no auditing, and besides, the MLM victims are all "independent business owners," so if there were any penalties for these violations, they would fall to the victims, not the cult.

Meanwhile, the scammers know it's a scam, and the failure of their victims to sell the useless "product" the cult is nominally organized around is a feature, not a bug. The hordes of indebted, cost-sunk, self-castigating failures are suckers for yet another scam: selling victims "training" to improve their sales technique. After all, if everyone around you is selling this crap without breaking a sweat, the failing must be your own. You need coaching, training, seminars, cassettes, books, retreats, all of it piling debt on debt.

The internal operations of these cults are shrouded in mystery, but Read lifts the veil and makes masterful sense of the horrors lurking beneath. In this, she is somewhat aided by MLM cult leaders' propensity for suing one another, as various sub-bosses build up massive followings of their own and seek to usurp the cult leader by founding their own parallel cults or sub-cults. These lawsuits sometimes drag the cults' dirty laundry out in public, and Read sorts through these court filings very carefully. Unfortunately, the cults' propensity for suing also helps suppress a lot of dirty laundry, because MLM leaders love to sue ex-cult members who participate in online forums where they document their expenses, and they use these cult victims' own money to pay for the court cases that silence them.

MLMs aren't just cults, they're religious cults. Since the very earliest days, pyramid scheme runners have declared themselves to be engaged in an extension of their Christian (mostly Calvinist) faith. The engine of a pyramid scheme needs social capital for fuel: to bring in new recruits, a cult member has to draw on the bonds of trust, fellowship and solidarity in order to convince their targets that this is a bona fide enterprise (and not a cult). Faith groups – especially fringe faith groups – have this kind of capital in spades. This goes double for faiths that demand large families (which is why we see such deep penetration of MLMs into Mormonism and orthodox Judiasm). If your faith demands that you produce a "quiverfull" of mouths to feed, then the chances are that you will not be able to survive without being enmeshed in a mutual support network with your co-religionists. MLMs convert this trust, generosity and mutual dependency into cash (at a ruinous exchange rate) and then funnel it "upline" the cult leaders, who reap billions.

Of course, those kinds of bonds are not solely forged on the basis of faith: racialized people, women, and other groups who face systemic discrimination depend on one another for mutual aid, which makes them vulnerable to another MLM pitch: "predatory inclusion":

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/27/predatory-inclusion/#equal-opportunity-scammers

Predatory inclusion is when scam artists adopt the language of social justice to pitch their cons – think of all the crypto bros who sold their ripoff schemes as a way to "achieve independence for women" or "build Black wealth" (thanks, Spike Lee):

https://www.vice.com/en/article/spike-lee-made-an-ad-for-cryptocurrency-atms-and-its-bizarre/

Predatory inclusion is parasitic upon the bonds of solidarity forged in adversity, and this goes double for the MLM variety. As MLMs cut away the strands of the web of mutual support, the cult leaders replace them with rabid anti-Communism, the kind of far-right rhetoric that brought Christian conservatives into the Reagan coalition and ultimately led to Trump's fascist takeover.

Here's how that move works: "You are a small, independent businessperson, the backbone of America. You will realize the American dream through your own backbone and work ethic (and therefore your current failure is due to your own lack of both). People who want to shut down pyramid schemes say they want to protect you, but really they want the government to decide who can and can't own a business. They're Communists, and in coming for MLMs, they're coming for America itself."

Some of America's richest family dynasties owe their wealth to pyramid schemes. They are dynasties of fraud, and they funneled their criminal gains into far right political projects. The Heritage Foundation – the authors of Project 2025 and Trump's master strategists – got their start with money from Rich DeVos (father in law of Betsy DeVos, who served as Secretary of Education in the first Trump cabinet). The far-right dark money machine runs on MLM money.

In fact, there's a good case to be made that everything rotten in today's world is built on the tactics of MLMs. Take the "gig economy." Companies like Uber promise drivers a high hourly wage. A small number of drivers are randomly allocated extremely large payouts by the system, in order to convert them into Judas goats, who fill gig-work message boards with tales of their good fortune. As Veena Dubal documents in her seminal work on "algorithmic wage discrimination," this tactic is devastatingly effective, convincing other Uber drivers to put in extremely long hours for sub-starvation wages, and then blame themselves for "being bad at Uber" – just like the downlines at Mary Kay and Amway who think the problem is with them:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

Trump, of course, is the ultimate expression of the MLM grift – and not only because he licensed his name to two different pyramid schemes. Trump embodies the MLM ethic of lying about how rich you are so that marks send you their money to get in on the "opportunity" and then blame themselves when the promised riches never materialize.

Erik Baker once described MLMs as a kind of bizarro-world version of unions. In the world of labor organizing, success lies in finding the people with the most social capital, the ones who are trusted by their coworkers, and teaching them to have a structured organizing conversation. This is exactly what MLMs do – but the difference lies in the goal of that structured organizing conversation. For union organizers, the goal is build solidarity as a means to improving the lives of everyone in the community. For MLM organizers, the goal is to destroy solidarity, atomizing the community, shattering its bonds, leaving its members defenseless as they are fleeced by the cult's leaders and their henchmen:

https://pluralistic.net/2025/02/05/power-of-positive-thinking/#the-socialism-of-fools

Neoliberalism's war-cry is Thatcher's "There is no such thing as society." The past 40 years have been a long process of tearing us away from one another, teaching us to see one another as marks, to mistrust systems of mutual aid as Communism. Read's Little Bosses Everywhere is a brilliantly told, deeply researched history of the past and present of the ultimate business model for late-stage capitalism: destroying the lives of everyone around you while pretending to be a small businessperson.

Long Chaggie rant ahead

I think a reason Chaggie get called "boring" is that they are waayyy past that beginning stage of their relationship TV love to glamorize.

They've been together for three years and already have that comfort level with each other that not everything is a new discovery. They accept each other's differences and just support. That's what a well established relationship is like.

Of course they are still heavily affectionate and loving with each other because duh, they're in love. Society loves to repeat the bullshit "losing the spark" problem in relationships and how "marriage is so hard" but most of these situations are people that barely even like each other let alone love.

I think that's why media loves showing either beginning stage relationships OR trope-y enemies to lovers and variants of that.

ESPECIALLY in the case of queer relationships because it's only fairly recently that it's been normalized onscreen and I don't think we're used to seeing a normal queer relationship. Like think about it.

Media has always loved showing the gays as deviant and toxic because that's been the only way it was allowed to be seen. I think many of us have gotten used to seeing ourselves that way that it's been normalized.

Personally, I'm in the boat of I'm sick being seen as deviant and like it's bad and wrong thing to be in love with someone of the same sex. For me, Chaggie has been healing because it's just two women being a healthy happy couple. Something that society and even family have told me is not possible which hurts beyond words to hear.

So yeah, I love Chaggie. It is the best wlw canon ship in fucking YEARS and I have been craving representation like this. The very things that I get dirty looks at for irl, is completely normal with Chaggie.

They can hold hands, lean in together arm around shoulder, quick casual kisses in public, give each other goo-goo eyes, just general affection and couple-y behavior as well as the "been together for 3 years" quirks and routines. Like I swear I cannot remember any other wlw ship like this so yeah, it's gonna hit me hard in the feels.

And when characters like Lute and Adam are disgusted or fetishize it, it's very obviously portrayed as villainous behavior. Everyone else just accepts them as they are.

Of course it's not just the normalization of those things but specifically in the context of they've been together for 3 years and are still very much in love and have nothing to prove to each other and just face any conflicts as they come like a normal couple.

Most media especially TV have gay couples break up after that amount of time just for drama points and cuz us gays cant ever last in a long term relationship apparently 😒 And I feel like that especially goes for lesbian relationships on TV. I've seen wayyy more long terms mlm relationships than wlw in main roles.

(Wonder if that's cuz it's just so unbelievable that women could actually love each other cuz society just is so attached to the idea that all women hate each other)

Basically fuck Chaggie hate. We need more wlw long term relationships like this onscreen. I'm tired of being seen as deviant and likely to be toxic. And I'm not saying they need to be perfect. They're obviously not and have some issues but that's a good thing. Every couple has issues.

I'm just saying not all gay onscreen need to almost destroy their relationship in order to repair it.

I just really find it incredibly annoying that some will slap the "boring" label on Chaggie when it's more likely that a long term healthy happy wlw relationship is just that bizarre to them. Just let women actually love women for fuck's sake.

this fic has nsft content. you have been warned.

dividers by cafekitsune

"C'mon, puppy, I know you can do it," you praise, your voice the only thing keeping Leon somewhat grounded. What was it you wanted again?

He feels himself nodding before even fully registering the command, ever easy to please. The name does wonders for him, something you’ve taken note of. You wouldn’t be here if it didn’t, of course. His gaze lingers on you, thoughts drifting off momentarily. You look so good like that, sat so fucking pretty on the bed, leash and collar in hand. Fuck, he wants to take you right then and there.

“Puppy,” you warn, voice lowering dangerously, unhappy to repeat yourself. “Strip.”

That gets Leon moving, his body jumping into action before he has time to fluster. He’s standing in his boxers now, skin hot under your gaze, but even then it’s not enough.

“I said strip,” you order again, all affection now gone from your tone.

“Yes— yes, sir,” Leon mumbles, mouth moving faster than his brain. Fuck. Why did he say that? Sir?? He’s not at the police academy.

“You’re thinking too hard.” Your voice is softer now, though a hint of warning still remains. “This isn’t supposed to be hard for you, pup. Just follow my instructions.”

Again, Leon nods, finally shrugging off his boxers with an embarrassed whine. He’s not quite sure why this has him so worked up. It’s not the first time he’s been naked in front of you, after all. Then again, he didn’t have such a captive audience then either. You grin, gesturing him over.

He’s kneeling between your legs now, breath quick and embarrassed.

“That’s a good boy,” you praise, running a hand through his hair. Leon can’t help but whimper, eyes drooping shut at the contact, and his head tilting into it. “Such a good boy… You learn so fast.”

Leon’s mind swims at that, swaying somewhat where he sits, panting. He feels your hand grip his hair, forcing his head back. He doesn’t resist, shamefully allowing you whatever access to him you’d like. Cool leather wraps around his throat, just barely restricting his airway. A collar.

“Such a pretty puppy… Can you bark for me baby? Can you speak?”

Leon shakes his head, the remainder of his dignity refusing to let him fall further. Even with his eyes shut Leon can see the scowl on your face, whining pitifully at your disappointment.

“I said speak, pet,” you command, the tone only fueling the fire in Leon’s groin.

Leon opens his mouth, jaw simply hanging for a moment, no sound coming out. “…Woof,” he mumbles shamefully, face burning red. The grip on his hair loosens, trailing down to grab his chin, gaze forced up to meet yours.

It’s only then that his predicament fully sets in, the sight of you above him, legs caging him in on either side with a leash in hand… it’s enough to make him twitch.

“Puppy…” you start, voice deceivingly soft, “you can do better than that. Go on. Speak. Speak for your owner, angel.”

Humiliated wouldn’t even begin to describe what he’s feeling right now; every part of his body burning with shame, unable to so much as look at you as his cock twitches in response. He likes this.

He nods, eyes drooping shut before his gaze is forcefully brought back to yours. His mouth opens, a small, awkward, yet honest to god bark leaving him. He doesn’t miss the way you shutter, breath hitching ever so slightly as you grin down at him.

“Fuck… thats a good boy, good boy, Leon.”

Leon can’t help the way his thighs squeeze together at that, awkwardly grinding into himself in a desperate attempt for friction. That’s when he feels a boot shoved between his legs, the cool leather almost painful against his heat. He whimpers, hips bucking into it before he has time to think. This earns him a painful tug on his collar, his hips stuttering to a stop.

“Puppy,” you warn, voice lowering. “I didn’t say you could move."

Leon nods, whining shamefully, embarrassed to have disappointed you. “But it’s okay, baby,” you assure, “you’re just a dumb little puppy, it’s not your fault you didn’t know.”

That really shouldn’t have had such a strong effect on Leon. He swallows, attempting to find a distraction from all this, something he can use to appear somewhat composed. He can’t embarrass himself like this.

You don’t seem happy with his attempts, however, tugging on the leash once more. You tut, running a hand sweetly through his hair. “Oh, puppy,” you start, voice once again deceivingly gentle, “don’t resist it. You know you want to let this happen… You know thinking this much isn’t good for you, baby.”

Leon swallows thickly, nodding before he can stop himself. He doesn’t know that, but either way he wants to please.

“That’s right…” you praise, tilting your boot up into his groin. “Let me make you feel good, don’t resist it. Can you open your mouth for me, angel?”

Leon’s mouth opens on command, shifting awkwardly in embarrassment. You keep him like that just long enough for the shame to sink in, boot digging into his cock as he sits the untouched, mouth hung open like the good boy he is. Finally, you push two fingers into his mouth, satisfied when Leon’s lips wrap obediently around them. He sucks softly, his mouth hot and inexperienced, teeth prodding into your skin. You tut, pushing them further back down his throat, pressing down just enough to make him gag.

You lean in, fingers not shying away from the back of his tongue. “C’mon, puppy… let me take all those thoughts away, let you keep that pretty little head empty like it’s supposed to be. You know I like you better dumbed down, don’t resist it.

Leon shivers, just barely stopping himself from rutting into your boot, a soft, gagged whine leaving him. He nods to the best of his ability, eyes drooping shut as he simply sucks on your fingers, the sensation strangely bliss.

“That’s right,” you praise, “feels good doesn’t it? You like being told what to do?” Again, Leon nods, this time whining. “Good boy… That’s my pretty boy, doing so well for me.”

You retreat your fingers, a line of spit briefly connecting them to Leon’s lips. He whines at the loss, to which you hush him. “I know,” you coo, wiping the spit covered digits through his hair. “You wanna make your owner feel good though, don’t you? You wanna make me feel good?”

With you staring down at him so expectantly, Leon can’t find it in himself to say no. Not that he would have wanted to anyways. He nods pitifully, whining again before he can stop himself. You grin.

“Atta boy.” And just like that, your hands are off him, earning another shameful whine. “I know, baby,” you assure, turning your attention from Leon down to your fly. “Just a little longer, okay? You’re being so good for me.”

Leon swears you’re going slow on purpose, his body tensing further with each passing second. He can see the outline of your cock through your boxers, the mere smell of it making him drool. Finally it’s out, the tip resting against Leon’s lips, smearing them with precum. He shutters.

“Open.”

Leon obeys, jaw going slack, willing you to cut to the chase, to let him taste you. You slide in painfully slow, giving Leon time to adjust to the intrusion. His lips instinctively wrap around it, protecting the sensitive skin from his teeth as he wills it down further. Your hands in his hair now, breath shaky.

Leon’s never done something like this before, is he doing this right?

Without warning, you shove your cock all the way in, forcing a gag from Leon. You pull back, allowing him room to breathe. All he can smell is you, everything about the situation only fueling him further. He needs this.

“Please,” he mumbles around your cock, brows pulled taught as he gazes up at you. You tut, grabbing his hair tight and pulling him back down.

“Puppies don’t talk,” you warn, relishing in the way his throat spasms around you. You pull him off, Leon spitting and gagging as you do so, eyes squeezed shut. “Be a good dog. Bark for me. Tell me how bad you want it.”

Leon doesn’t resist, letting out a small, hoarse bark. This time however, it isn’t enough. “I said bark, you mutt. Bark for me. You can do better than that.” Your boot tilts further up, digging into Leon’s cock, dragging an honest to god moan from him.

You grin, the expression downright evil. “You like that?” Leon nods, hips stuttering against the leather. You tut, tugging on his leash harshly. “Then bark for me. Bark and I’ll let you have it.”

Leon’s eyes droop shut, whimpering softly. He nods, willing the sound out of him, this time significantly more animalistic. A real bark.

“Good boy.” Your voice is sweet and proud again, grinding your boot into his groin as a reward. “I knew you could do it. Now open your mouth, let me use you like you’re intended. Breathe through your nose… Good puppy.”

Leon obeys, this time rutting shamelessly into your shoe. Your cock slams into his throat once more, but this time he’s prepared, breathing steadily through his nose as you continue abusing his throat, willing his gag reflex down.

“God… look at you, drooling around my cock… Fucking hell. You’re so fucking good, puppy. Just like that.” And really, he’s not doing anything, just sitting there and letting you use him. “There you go… You’re doing so good, angel. So good for me. Just keep humping my boot like a bitch in heat, let yourself be the stupid fucking mutt you are.”

Leon allows himself to drift, lost in the wondrous cocktail of hormones you’ve awoken in him. He’s rutting faster, breaths shallowing as he fights to keep himself from going over the edge, wanting this to last as long as possible.

“You gonna cum for me, puppy?” you mock, drinking in Leon’s display with hungry eyes.

He nods frantically, panting stupidly around your cock. He’s growling now, the sounds low and desperate, like some kind of animal.

You tug your boot away, relishing in the whine that vibrates around your length. You drag him down further, ignoring his pitiful gags as you spill down his throat, fucking him through your high.

You drag Leon off, watching as he swallows it all like the good boy he is, grinning wildly. “You did so good, puppy,” you whisper, dragging him closer by the leash, relishing in his confusion. You guide him up onto the bed, tutting as he goes to stand. “Oh, you poor, stupid little thing,” you coo. “Puppies don’t stand, angel. Crawl to me. That’s right, on all fours. Just like that. Good boy. That’s my pretty puppy.”

You drag him onto your still clothed thigh, his leash pulled taught. “You did so well,” you praise, guiding his bare hips against the rough fabric. “C’mon puppy, make yourself feel good for me. You’ve done so well… Just like that, hump my thigh like the stupid bitch you are. That’s right. Good boy.”

Leon whimpers in discomfort, the corse fabric like fire against his erection, but he can’t find it within himself to care. He speeds up, practically sobbing now as he fucks himself stupid on your thigh, clinging to you like a life line. He’s growling, nipping softly at your neck as he ruts into you, humping you like a bitch in heat.

“M… M’gonna,” he stutters dumbly, head thrown back as his back arches into the sensation. Poor puppy can’t even finish a sentence.

You hush him, hands running soothingly down his sides as he shutters against you. “Cum for me, puppy. You’ve been so good. Cum for me.”

Leon nods frantically, mouth hanging open as he cums, vision going white as he collapses into you, continuing to grind uselessly against your leg. “I love you I love you I love you,” he chants absently, sobbing into the crook of your neck. “Thank you. Thank you so much. I love you.”

Zombie Husband

relationship - Newt x Male!Reader

setting - Modern AU

word count - 700

contains - Fluff !!! / Teasing Nicknames / Playful Bantering / Ends in Tickles and Kisses / Marriage / Mild Talk of Alcohol / New Home / MLM (not the pyramid scheme)

authors notes - Early birthday present for my faithful commissioner, 🪶 anon. <3 - Writing this felt like leaving the Chick-Fil-A line while blasting music in 2018. Hope that makes sense.

"I'd let you eat me if you were a zombie," I mumbled mindlessly to Newt, my balance wavering the smallest amount.

"I think zombies are looking for brains." Newt joked, eliciting a snort from his own jest. Newt held me in his arms, pressed against his side, smiling wide as he looked at me. "So, husband," he began with his signature grin.

My eyes lit up further the deeper I looked into his. "You're never gonna stop calling me that, are you?" I asked.

"I don't know, I think it fits you well, husband." We continued walking down the stone walkway, hand in hand.

I rolled my eyes, slapping him on the chest. "Yeah, thank you, big strong manly man, here to walk me inside."

He looked away from me, staring dead ahead. "Our home," he said softly, pausing for effect.

"What?" I stumbled out, shock engulfing me. "Our? Us? Me and you?"

He nodded, his smile somehow managing to grow even wider. "Mhm,"

"I thought you said this was just some dumb honeymoon suite," I whispered, spinning around to look at the house in all of its glory. The front door was my favorite color, windows symmetrical on the house, the shutters matched with the door, and the siding's paint hadn't even begun to peel. It was beautiful.

Newt walked closer, wrapping his arm around me and gesturing to it. "It is, and our home."

Shocked was an understatement. "You don't understand how much I could just- just-"

"What? Marry me?" he laughed, raising his hand and wiggling his wedding band adorned ring finger. "Now come on! Go look at the inside, zombie-lover!"

The door was unlocked, the doorknob cold but welcoming in my palm as I twisted it to reveal our new home. "It's beautiful," I gasped in awe, turning and wrapping my arms around his neck. "it's beautiful, you beautiful, beautiful man."

The entire home was decorated entirely already, likely largely contributed to by our friends. I didn't miss the empty vodka bottle in the corner, Minho definitely helped. "I thought we deserved a real home now," Newt gleamed, letting his eyes wander around the living room, decorated with both old and new items. "the other home will be up on the market by next week, I wanted to make sure you liked it before I finalized anything."

"Oh, Newt," I drew, "I love it." I hugged him tightly, picking him up off of his feet and spinning him slightly. "I adore it," I whispered, peppering his face with kisses.

"In that room, way back in the far corner," he said softly as he looked in my eyes, pointing to the room that was in fact in the far corner. It had a wooden frame, with several rectangular glass panels in it, letting you look inside. "that's your library. It's already filled with all of your books, in chronological order."

My hands reached into his hair before I could fully think, pulling him into a kiss. "I love you," I said against his lips. "God, I love you."

"I'm Newt, but I love you too." he grinned back, clearly too proud of his joke.

"Yeah you better." I said in a threatening tone, grabbing his hand and jumping backwards onto the couch.

Newt looked down to my tie, his hand wrapping around it. "I better." he repeated, tugging on the tie. I repeated his actions, tugging his tie off with a challenging appearance on my face. He merely laughed, obviously not believing I'd challenge him.

Fingers against his sides, I tickled him until he fell over, getting on top of him and tickling further.

"Okay! Okay!" he giggled until I stopped. I looked down to him, mirroring his grin from earlier. "Oh you're so going to bloody pay for that," he said with a completely straight face, but I could see it in his eyes that he was struggling not to burst out in laughs.

Omg thanks for making a post about that disgusting mlm ship (du'lie 🤮) it's so gross I don't get why they don't ship a normal ship like Markate.

Like why do they always have to make try to ship two obviously straight characters together, Charlie and Du'Met aren't gay they are just straight and everyone is acting like they are gay or something. I hate it, mlm ships are so weird they should just ship something canon instead of trying to make everything gay like

Anyways thank you for your post, if they want lgbq+ content they should just ship Jerin or go find something canon I don't get the appeal of liking a mlm ship anyways like 🙄 just ship markate or jerin why would you want a ship with two men if you want one so bad go play the quarry or something lol 🤭

yeah of course! ive already seen my fair share of stuff for that pairing and its fans being annoying so it was bound to happen at some point. i understand what you mean by a "normal" ship, assuming youre referring to the fact that charlie/dumet is a pairing between a serial killer and its victim, but i took it as a .... straight vs gay type thing, w/ the straight being "normal." i hope that isn't what you meant. also the emphasis on the "mlm" part of the pairing just..... doesnt sit right w/ me

i mean... from a lesbian perspective, we've had to LIVE off of pairing up two "obviously straight" characters together in order to get our representation. it's a totally normal phenomenon, especially when the number of canon wlw pairings is very small. so i dont blame anyone, esp men loving men, for searching for 2 "straight" characters to pair together. what IM criticizing is the fact how fandom focuses on mlm pairings, even when theyre toxic or lackluster, before even thinking of considering shipping something between 2 girls, let alone woc. i know im probably repeating myself at this point, but i want to make it clear that i dont have a problem w/ the mlm pairings themselves, its often the people behind those pairings that i have a problem with. ESP if they're like...straight women. so, apologies if it ever made it seem like i was bigoted towards those pairings. because, anon, based on what youre saying to me right now, that seems to be the case. calling all mlm ships "weird" just....isn't right. sticking w/ shipping canon stuff would slash what we engage with in half. i dont know abt you, but ive spent my entire LIFE engaging w/ 2 "obviously straight" girls and imagining what they'd be like in a relationship. you saying to stick w/ canon instead of "making everything gay" also applies to sapphics. we're both the same, we both had to make everything gay and read through a gay subtext to survive

you can do you, you dont have to see the appeal of shipping a mlm pairing, but you can atleast show them the same respect as you would with others. "why would you want a ship with two men" ............................do you not see how wrong and bad this sounds? like. this feels like a very homophobic almost radfem view. but im not going to assume.just know this is what it sounds like to me.

i will give you this though, the quarry DOES have a loads better potential mlm pairing than the devil in me. why they don't engage w/ TQ instead? it all depends. it all probably comes down to them enjoying TDIM more than TQ

feel free to explain yourself or debate with me, or don't. whatever works

With the rise of digital transformation, changing customer behaviors, and an increasing demand for flexible employment possibilities, direct selling has become a popular choice for millions around the world.

This approach, which is commonly associated with direct marketing, lets members to use their networks to increase their earning potential.

This considerable figure highlights the growing trend of people seeking alternative income streams through flexible working arrangements.

But why is direct selling more profitable than established businesses? And how can you maximize your earnings and income in this ever-changing industry? Let's dive in.

How Do You Increase Commissions and Maximise Profits in Direct Selling?

Direct selling is one of the most lucrative business models in today’s competitive market. It offers significant advantages over traditional businesses, primarily due to its low startup costs, flexible operations, and direct-to-consumer approach.

Additionally, integrating advanced MLM software in Coimbatore has further revolutionized the direct selling industry by streamlining operations, tracking sales, and enhancing business management.

To get the most out of direct selling, you should use modern techniques that are in line with current trends. Here are some proven techniques to increase your earnings:

Leverage AI and automation:

AI-powered products such as chatbots, CRM software, and predictive analytics help to improve lead generation, customer engagement, and sales conversions. Automating monotonous processes enables you to concentrate on selling more and earning bigger commissions.

How MLM Software Can Drive Growth and Profitability in Your Network Marketing Business

The network marketing industry is highly competitive, and success depends on more than just hard work and dedication. To truly thrive, you need the right tools to manage your operations, motivate your team, and scale your business effectively. This is where MLM software comes into play. Designed to streamline your multi-level marketing business, MLM software provides the automation, insights, and support needed to drive growth and profitability. In this article, we’ll explore how MLM software can be the catalyst for your business’s success.

What is MLM Software?

MLM software is a specialized platform that helps manage the various facets of a network marketing business. From tracking sales and managing distributor networks to automating commission payouts and providing data analytics, MLM software is a one-stop solution for running an efficient and profitable MLM business.

Key Benefits of MLM Software

1. Automate Operations and Save Time

Running an MLM business involves managing numerous processes, from processing orders to calculating commissions and tracking distributor performance. MLM software automates these tasks, reducing the time and effort required to manage your business manually. This automation not only saves time but also minimizes errors, ensuring that your operations run smoothly and efficiently.

2. Boost Distributor Motivation and Retention

Distributors are the backbone of any MLM business, and keeping them motivated is key to sustained growth. MLM software offers a range of tools to engage and support your distributors, from training modules and performance dashboards to recognition programs and incentives. By providing your team with the resources they need to succeed, you’ll increase retention and drive higher performance across your network.

3. Scale Your Business with Ease

As your MLM business grows, so does the complexity of managing a larger network and increasing sales. MLM software is designed to scale with your business, allowing you to easily add new distributors, expand into new markets, and introduce new products without compromising efficiency. The software’s scalability ensures that your business remains agile and capable of handling growth without bottlenecks.

4. Gain Valuable Insights with Analytics

Data-driven decision-making is crucial for long-term success in network marketing. MLM software provides real-time analytics and reporting tools that offer insights into every aspect of your business. From sales performance and distributor activity to customer behavior and market trends, these insights help you make informed decisions and adjust your strategies as needed. With detailed reports and customizable dashboards, you can monitor your business’s health and identify opportunities for growth.

5. Simplify Compensation Management

Managing compensation plans in an MLM business can be challenging, especially with different structures like binary, matrix, and unilevel. MLM software simplifies this process by automating commission calculations and payouts. Whether you’re dealing with complex bonuses, overrides, or rank-based incentives, the software ensures that every distributor is paid accurately and on time, fostering trust and loyalty within your network.

6. Enhance Customer Experience

A successful MLM business depends on both distributor success and customer satisfaction. MLM software helps you deliver an exceptional customer experience by streamlining order management, offering personalized promotions, and providing responsive customer support.

Additionally, the software helps you maintain compliance with relevant laws and regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues and ensuring your business operates within the required guidelines.

Choosing the Right MLM Software for Your Business

With so many MLM software options available, it’s important to choose a solution that aligns with your business needs and goals. Here are some factors to consider when selecting MLM software:

Customization: Look for software that allows you to tailor the platform to your specific business model, including compensation plans, branding, and user interface.

User Experience: The software should be intuitive and easy to use for both you and your distributors, with a user-friendly interface and responsive customer support.

Mobile Access: Ensure the software offers mobile access, so distributors can manage their business anytime, anywhere.

Scalability: Choose software that can grow with your business, accommodating an expanding network and increasing sales volume without compromising performance.

In the competitive landscape of network marketing, having the right tools is essential for driving growth and profitability.

10 Things That Never Happened Review

10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall

CW: Swearing, Injury, Blood, Dysfunctional Family, Loss of Family, Toxic Work Environment, Mentioned Homophobia, Toxic Relationship, Medical Content, Classism

4/5

This is the story of how I got tricked into reading a Christmas romance. Spotify, despite me never having read a book on there, knew my tastes exactly. Its algorithm showed me Alexis Hall's latest book, 10 Things That Never Happened. Seeing its cover, I immediately assumed it was the 3rd book in the Boyfriend Material series, also by Hall. Inspecting it closer, I realized it wasn't, but I trust Hall to be a good author, so I decided to read it anyhow. The provided blurb indicated that a lot was going on in the novel, messy characters and a good story. Nowhere in the blurb or the design of the cover, did it mention that it was a Christmas romance! Of course, I loved the book, but I wouldn't intentionally read a Christmas romance without a very good reason.

In 10 Things That Never Happened, Sam Becker is the manager at a bed-and-bath retailer that's a part of a chain owned by Jonathan Forest. He's a caring pushover while Jonathan is no-nonsense. Jonathan decides that Sam's branch is over budget and needs to cut some employees. Jonathan invites Sam down to London for a chat, but accidentally causes him to get into an accident. Sam, waking up in the hospital with a concussion, takes the opportunity to fake amnesia and buy his branch some time. Due to doctor's orders, Sam ends up staying with Jonathan for the Christmas season. Will the close quarters make the pair start seeing each other in a different way? Will Sam's scheme work?

I can't actually say with certainty that I like the couple of Sam and Jonathan, but I loved reading 10 Things That Never Happened anyhow. When I read the blurb, I was upset that Sam would do such a thing to Jonathan. Then, when I met Jonathan in the book, I thought he absolutely deserved it. I'm glad that Sam is the only POV character in this book, as I was rooting for him the whole time. I just wanted good things to happen to him. I did get excited when they kissed, but I have no idea if this couple will work in the long run. There's an element of Stockholm Syndrome, which is brought up by characters in the story, but Sam's life is made a lot brighter by the extended Forest Family. Overall, it's not the romance that makes this book great, it's Sam and his amnesia scheme.

Admittedly, Hall doesn't spend all that much time on diversity in 10 Things That Never Happened, not in any meaningful way. They do explore what it was like for Sam and Jonathan growing up being gay, though. Jonathan grew up in Sheffield, Sam in Liverpool. I don't wish to give spoilers, but they had different experiences from each other. It's important to be reminded that everyone had a different experience growing up. Determined by class, location, time, and more. If you choose to read the book, Jonathan's dad is the biggest example of this. I learned a lot when his backstory was revealed. 

As previously mentioned, I essentially read this book because it's by Alexis Hall. While I haven't read all of their books yet, I am certainly drawn to all of them. There are several things that keep me coming back to this author. One is that the first review I put on this blog was one of their books, the previously linked Boyfriend Material. Another is that this is a queer author writing queer books, but that could be said of a lot of my repeat authors. Ultimately it's the use of tropes and the writing style. Main characters for Hall tend to be messy British queers that don't have their life together but are loveable. My favorite tropes of enemies-to-lovers and fake dating can be found in some of the books, and there are plenty of other tropes to get me excited. Hall's humor is potentially the biggest reason I keep coming back. I know I'm going to have a good laugh when I'm reading anything they've written. 

Unless you can't handle the chance that you might not ship the love interests, I absolutely recommend 10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall! The story is quite enjoyable and takes the reader all over England during wintertime! The book is filled with delightful side characters, commentary about capitalism in the UK, and silly moments that Sam and Jonathan bond over. Christmas may be over, but spoken as someone who doesn't celebrate anyway, it's not too late to enjoy this read!
