But by LuLaRoe&#8217;s own admission, over 78 percent of its consultants earned no bonuses in 2015. And the website says that &#8220;the average annual bonus payments made by LuLaRoe to ALL U.S. Consultants at all ranks (which includes Eligible and Ineligible Consultants) in 2015 was $91.65, and the median annual bonus payments made to ALL U.S. Consultants at all ranks in 2015 was $85.80.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The company also states that &#8220;the average annual bonus payments made by LuLaRoe to Eligible U.S. Consultants at all ranks in 2015 was $424.81, and the median annual bonus payments made to Eligible U.S. Consultants at all ranks in 2015 was $397.69.&#8221; While this does not count the money consultants make from simply selling the clothing, it is still a sobering set of numbers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The site PinkTruth.com broke down how hard it is to make the bonus money, noting that people reportedly have to order at least 175 pieces of clothing in a month to be eligible, which works out to about $3500 worth of orders each month. That&#8217;s a lot of merchandise to sell at once.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s amazing that people work so hard to chase a dream that is so unattainable. It\u2019d be much easier to work at a restaurant for 5 years and then open a franchise or study a trade like massage therapy or plumbing and make just as much money without having to hustle so hard.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the people who buy into these..this isn\u2019t their first rodeo. MLM chasers have a disease. They are drawn into these schemes and you\u2019d think they would have figured it out the first time that this is a way for everyone above them to make money versus the other way around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The untold truth of LuLaRoe: People who sell LuLaRoe can make money without bonuses, but much of their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-03-27T23:48:53Z","apple_news_api_id":"007120de-dbcc-4316-8fca-36e8d28a3f4d","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-03-27T23:48:55Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AAHEg3tvMQxaPyjbo0oo_TQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7334","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Ui","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4712,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/06\/16\/linked-inside-wazes-volunteer-workforce\/","url_meta":{"origin":7334,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Inside Waze&#8217;s Volunteer Workforce&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 16, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"via Popular Mechanics: With Waze's popularity only increasing, its current model inevitably raises questions.
