7 MLM Skills That Actually Pay in UGC (No Recruiting Required)

In this episode, Maren Crowley gets refreshingly real about her 11 years in network marketing with Beachbody—and reveals which skills from that world actually translate into profitable UGC work (and which ones to leave behind for good).

As part of the 0.01% who found success in MLM, Maren knows both sides: the skills that genuinely build business, and the toxic tactics that don't. She breaks down exactly how storytelling, camera confidence, community building, and understanding pain points can power a UGC business—without the recruiting, downline drama, or income dependency on others.
