Amway Is Not Get Rich Quick!

 It used to be said by my upline that Amway was not a "get rich quick" opportunity. I presume they say this because if they promoted it in this manner, the majority of people would assume it was a fraud. But think about it: if you put in the effort and construct it correctly, in 2-5...

Amway IBOs Are Nearly Guaranteed To Fail?

 What many Amway and MLM independent business owners (IBOs) are unaware of is that the Amway/MLM payout model almost assures failure for the vast majority of IBOs. There will always be certain people that earn money in Amway, no matter where they go. Some may even be able to earn a...

Amway - IBOs Are Legit Because They Sell Stuff?

 It has come up in conversation with various IBOs that I am considering retail sales to customers. While many independent business owners (IBOs) claim to have genuine consumers and to teach retail, the reality appears to be quite different. At one point, an Amway corporate blogger claimed...

Amway - Excuses, Excuses

 I've been a blogger for a number of years at this point. When I've engaged with Amway apologists, I've found that they eventually resort to excuses and/or personal attacks when they've exhausted their options. To give you some food for thought, the fact that you have to make excuses...

Amway - Diamond Freedom Is A Myth?

 When I was an IBO, I would frequently see my upline diamond driving around town in a business outfit, which I thought was quite cool. I used to wonder why he would continue to work if he could simply walk away and earn residual money. My sponsor explained to me that the diamond only...

Amway Critics Are Important!

 I've often wondered what the Amway opportunity would be like if there weren't any naysayers. Many Amway fans believe that criticism exist solely for the purpose of tearing others down or defaming the Amway opportunity. It appears to me to be the polar opposite. I believe that Amway...

Why Should An IBO Trust Their Upline?

 Joecool believes that a significant part of the problem with the Amway opportunity stems from the complete lack of accountability displayed by some upline leaders. Alternatively, they may tell you to put your trust in them, submit to their authority, and simply reproduce or duplicate...

What Amway Success?

 Seeing the strategy as a young IBO, I thought it was doable to go direct and find six (6) downlines that could do the same thing as I could. I wasn't sure if I had a realistic possibility of succeeding, but the presentation made logical, so I went ahead and did it. I basically created...

WalMart Beats Amway?

 I recently heard an Amway supporter complain about how Walmart is terrible and how Amway is excellent. But let's take a closer look at the specifics. Walmart and Amway are both billion-dollar corporations, however Walmart dwarfs Amway in terms of size and revenue. Walmart generates...

Upline Wants My Money And Not My Success?

 A common theme among the statements made by my upline was how much they cared about us, how they would never lead us astray, how our success was their success, and how they didn't make a penny until we made a dollar. Now that I look back, I realise that our uplines at WWDB were complete...

The Real Amway Business - Selling Tools To Downline?

 I've been reading some ongoing disputes over whether the system income for higher pins is more than their Amway bonuses, which I thought was interesting. I feel that the systems like as BWW, WWDB, N21, and LTD generate more profit for upline than the selling of Amway items, and that...

My Upline Said So!

 A good friend of mine sponsored me into Amway when I first started out. Although it wasn't my closest or best friend at the time, there was still a sense of trust between the two of us. I had enough faith in him that I could take his word for the truth, especially when it came to matters...

Make Money Exploiting Your Downline!

 There are, of course, some people who make money with Amway products. If no one profited from the opportunity, the opportunity would be lost forever. However, it is mostly the exploitation of the downline that accounts for the success of the upline. Amway's admission that sales to...

Losing Money Is Success In Amway?

 Looking back at my IBO days, I can now chuckle at some of the crazy stuff we did and believe it or not, I have reason to believe that my old LOS, WWDB still teaches some of this and some other large groups still teach it. I believe some of these tactics were the reason why some individuals...

It's Great For Amway But IBOs Are Still Losing Money?

 From time to time, I hear ridiculous claims made by IBOs. All kinds of claims are made by them that have absolutely nothing to do with their business. Amway, for example, recently reported that their sales had reached $1 billion in a single month. It's a positive development for Amway!...

Condemning Testimony About Amway & WWDB

 This was written by a former IBO in Hawaii and posted on Facebook:Quixtar was a company that I had personal experience with. It is referred to as a "tool-based business." Did I purchase their books and cassette cassettes (yep, cassette tapes were used back then)? Yes, I did it.As soon...

A Better Way To Do Amway?

 One of the primary reasons I believe Amway is not a viable investment is because of the company's unfair multi-tiered pay model. I've heard that Amway pays out approximately 32-33 percent to their independent business owners (IBOs), but I believe this is unjust because you are rewarded...

Are There Benefits In Organic Vitamins Or Foods?

 It appears that this is not the case. In this case, it is reasonable to conclude that paying high costs for double x has no significant benefits.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/5932100/Organic-food-has-no-added-nutritional-benefit-says-Food-Standards-Agency.htmlAccording...

Are Diamonds Broke Like Everyone Else?

 I recently came across an article that discussed what it means to be wealthy. Some claim that a $100,000 annual income would make them affluent, while others claim that assets in excess of $4 million would do the trick, and still others claim that $2 million would put them in the "rich"...

Amway Uplines - The Root Of Many Evils?

 Throughout the many years of Amway's existence, the company's reputation in the United States and Canada has deteriorated. And it is not the fault of Amway the organisation, but rather of Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) who teach and condone unethical business practises. Of...

The Amway Opportunity Is "Fair"?

 We were educated that the Amway opportunity was fair by our upline, which was a complete fabrication. That everything was played on an equal playing field. On the surface, this appears to be correct because "everyone starts at zero." While everyone begins at zero, the compensation...

Amway Makes Me Nicer?

 Many meetings I attended as an IBO included a presentation on how IBOs are assisting people in joining the firm or at the very least giving them the strategy. I remember this since I was an IBO at the time. When I look back, I don't understand how getting someone into a firm where...

Amway Is Cheap And Low Risk?

 It is one of the most ridiculous things that IBOs and Amway apologists say is that the Amway business is inexpensive and minimal risk. While this may be true in some cases, it is not a viable motivation to start a business. However, while the initial fees can be quite low, these same...
