She signed up for the sisterhood, free cars, and the promise of a successful business of her own. Instead, she ended up with an addiction, broken friendships, and the rubble of a toppled pyramid . . . scheme.

Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing is the eye-opening, funny, and dangerous personal story of author Emily Lynn Paulson rising to the top of the pyramid in the multilevel marketing (MLM) world, only to recognize that its culture and business practices went beyond a trendy marketing scheme and into the heart of white supremacy in America.

A significant polemic on how MLMs operate, Hey, Hun expertly lays out their role in the cultural epidemic of isolation and the cult-like ideologies that course through their trainings, marketing, and one-on-one interactions.

Equally entertaining and smart, Paulson’s first-person accounts, acerbic wit, and biting commentary will leave you with a new perspective on those “Hey Hun” messages flooding your inbox.

Fascinating look into the inner workings of the (foreign to me) world of MLMs. I admit I’ve been to a few “parties” thrown by friends-of-friends without any idea what it was really all about. Bought some things, too! Never again.

This book was such an eye opener. I’ve always felt a bit icky about MLM culture, but couldn’t always put my finger on exactly why. This book does such a great job of breaking down where that icky feeling comes from. I love the way she incorporates her own story, but the stories of others, relevant research as well as cultural writings on the topic to tease out precisely why MLMs succeed at preying in women, getting your money, and perpetuating harmful ideals and white supremacy. Icky indeed!

Excellent and telling read

Fantastic book with a powerful and oftentimes cringeworthy look behind the curtain of MLM’s toxic, harmful, and predatory culture.

So many of the MLM manipulation strategies discussed in this book are applicable to many more systems of oppression and control.

I 100% recommend!
