Hi Jamie,
Thank you for sharing your experience. That is indeed sad, that they are using those techniques for decades already. With the all bunch of curt charges, like this one in Canada, it surprise me that U.S. government still allows them to operate( in China they were forbidden for a while).
On the other side, if it might be profitable to the government in any sense, for instance like building a hotel whose taxes end up in the government, they seem to close one eye. It’s really sad tough for the new unwarned, naive business seekers. If I could only help some people not to join, I would be really satisfied. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey there,
Thanks for your comment. I agree that Amway offers some great quality products, (that could be one of the reasons they are so long in the game). The truth is that you would need to buy a lot of products on regular basis to see some money floating in, plus you would have to recruit people who oftentimes just don’t trust these MLM anymore. Statistics here are clear, just 48% IBOs who have once signed in are still active and out of those the average income is 200$ a month. That is not a very good perspective for someone who wants to join. Not saying they don’t mention the people who ended up in debt and destroyed their relationships because of the brainwashing they were exposed to. I love doing Affiliate Marketing, as I can start almost for free and promote other people’s products. This platform offers unbeatable training, support with a FREE website and it is just awesome.

Hey Matt. Indeed if you see their properties like the Amway centrum, GrandPlaza, or their sponsorship to San Jose Earthquakes( MLS soccer club) then you’d be thinking they are sitting well with their business. The problem is that that money is going to owners, or people high on the Scheme, that’s the purpose of the pyramid indeed. Totally missing the transparency, while for instance Wealthy Affiliate is working on a completely different level and you can basically be earning what the owners in a matter of months.

You can indeed make money with Amway only if you sit on the highest level of the ranking, while the rest fail to recoup the investment, let alone make profits. The worst part of it is that you need to do lots of recruitments to keep the business going smoothly, which seems like what I am not good at. So, I will prefer to be its customer instead of an independent business owner.

Thanks for sharing today. I appreciated your honest review!
Matt

This business model reminds me a lot of a MLM business my brother was involved with, called, Golden Products. I have no idea what has become of them but they also had vey good quality products, however in order to earn you also had to have in place a monthly auto ship subscription and the amount of money you had to spent each month did not justify the products you needed, and as a result you ended up having to buy a lot of products you did not need.

Although, as you pointed out, AmWay is not a great business model at all, but at least they are much better than so many other MLM scam businesses I read about that do not even have any products offered in the mix.

Thanks again!
