Oprah Ruins Shaklee’s 50 Year Old MLM Values. And Makes Money Doing It.

Have you ever heard of the Shaklee Corporation? I hadn’t until last year. When I mentioned it to my mom, she said she’s known about it for years. The Shaklee Corporation develops and sells environmentally friendly products ranging from vitamins and diet aids, to cleaning products. Some of the products are actually pretty great. Shaklee has been around for 50+ years and is one of the oldest and longest running multi-level marketing programs.

When you become a Shaklee Independent Distributor, you receive a “personal” website, but you’re not allowed to use the internet to its fullest potential by selling the products online. So…how does that make sense?

The Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission should totally get involved and expose the company for what it is, a pyramid scheme (you have to pay to become a distributor).
