I’ve always been a sucker for any media that promises X amount of followers (because even after almost 20 years in marketing, *I* can’t do that!). So when I saw this podcast from Direct Selling News, I was interested to see how they’d spin it.
It turns out that getting 100K followers is from when your Reels ‘do well’ on Instagram. If you want actionable advice about increasing followers, I put some at the end of the video. This content is, of course, more about mindset/success in MLMs and includes actual success nuggets like shoving an iPad in front of your kids, not watching a movie for 7 years, and working every single weekend for over 10 years.

The proof I could find of Ellen leaving Bodi in 2018 and moving to FASTer Way, which does not think of itself as an MLM, but other people clearly do: https://www.instagram.com/ellenludwigfitness/p/DBJLpPBx-Ir/?img_index=1 (In the video, I found a Reel saying she was in Bodi for 10 years, though, so the timeline seems a little loose, to be honest.)
