I joined Quixtar years ago when it was a Sister Company to Amway and now Quixtar and Amway are one company. The business opportunity goes like this: Shop online and make money. It sounds simple enough although the challenge is that to make money people should sign up for automatic shopping and you will make commission off of the purchases from the web site when you have more than one leg or line that is buying from the site. I still make some money in Amway and the products are very good and the Vitamins are very high quality and every time I checked had passed the consumer lab tests.
Amway training is very uplifting although many young couples get the idea that if they purchase all the training materials and a book a month they will build a successful business where they can quite their normal jobs. Sometimes this can happen. In our case we had over 130 people under us and at one point we had over 60 come to the big training meeting. The concern is that not everyone is actively involved in getting new people and the prices on the site are not as competitive as they could be because of the commission structure. This is a business decision that has been made and recently there have been some law suits filed against Amway but that is the case with any large company that has money. They never promise you outright that you will get rich but the training does talk about how you can move your business forward and gain wealth. In my opinion the company is not a scam and their products are good products and the training is also very good but many times people will end up buying books and CD training modules when they really don't have the extra money do be doing that. We were showing the business opportunity about 7 times a week for years and that is how we got so many people but those people did not stay solid nor did all of them continue to buy.
My advice if you plan on getting involved in Amway is to stay balanced so you don't neglect your family because this can easily happen when they tell you that if you work hard today you can have more time with your family later and yet the years still pass by and time move on so don't get to over extended with this program that you are missing life and your kids sports games and such. There is quite a bit of negative written about Amway but there is also quite a bit of positive written as well so you can make money and I got to where I was making sometimes over 700 or 800 a month but on the flip side we were going to several meetings a week and one large meeting a month and one two day meeting every 6 months and we spent lots of money on gas to go and show the plan and we were also buying product off the site just like we were supposed to do so just be careful and I would say to investigate the business just like you would before you purchase a stock and talk to some people that have been in and quit and talk to some people that are still in it. Many people quit because they just don't have that type of personality to work with people or they are lazy and others quit for other reasons. Review on Amway as a business.
