One of the things that is used to entice prospects into joining Amway is the lure of passive residual income that will continue to roll in after someone stops working. Or as some IBOs put it, you do the work once and it pays you for the rest of your life. It sounds like a great theory, but does it actually work? Why aren't there people who retired as am Amway IBO simply walking the beaches and cashing bonus checks? Why are crown ambassadors and double diamonds still working the functions with no signs of slowing down?
When there is debate about this alleged income from Amway raging on, why aren't any of these retired Amway folks stepping forward to confirm that they did the work and stepped away? Where are they? Do they exist? I mean some people believe in UFOs and Sasquatch (bigfoot) and while these theories are well known, there has never been bonafide evidence that a UFO exists, and a Sasquatch body has never been recovered. I believe that UFOs or bigfoot might be possible, but there is simply no proof. There were many hoaxes that were uncovered regarding these issues, but no bonafide proof.
Seems like it's basically the same with Amway residual income. There are many stories and statements made about lifelong passive residual income coming from Amway, but all of the evidence I have seen suggests otherwise. When 2/3 of IBOs never even last a year, and more than 95% of IBOs never last 5 years, and given that many IBOs do little or nothing, what case can you make that the Amway opportunity can provide you with lifelong residual income? Evne those who have attained levels where you can allegedly walk away and collect income don't do so. Why is that? Is it because they just love traveling across the country all year long to work functions, or is it the more likely possibility that they keep working - because they have to.
Diamonds show off a very excessive lifestyle. Lifestyles that probably cannot be sustained on the incomes reported by Amway. So is lifelong passive residual income from Amway a myth or reality? I believe it is a lie told by AMOs (The systems) because if this were true, you would hear it from Amway themselves. If people are truly walking away from their Amway businesses and living in luxury, then where are they?

Where are you JoeCool? Where is your passive residual income?
Yeah, I get residual income from my blog so each time people read or comment on the blog, the cash rolls in like crazy.
Im confused about that. Who pays you? I dont see any ads or links to sites that might pay you for directing traffic, so where does the money come from? I am not against the site in any way, just trying to figure out how to make money with an advertisement-free blog.
I'm confused about how IBOs make money when they don't sell many goods to non IBOs. They also in general, spend more on tools than they will ever make in Amway.
So I'm confused too about how you make money without seeing sites directing your traffic to this blog. You're a sham basically.
ok. I agree that most IBOs net no profit. Were you going to answer my question about the website profit, or were you joking about the profit from it? Not trying to be critical, I was honestly wondering as I check in with the site day to day.
It's an even bigger mystery how IBOs make money without selling products.
This is weird now. It really wasnt meant to be a big question, but you claimed to be making profit so I asked how. Now I wonder if you are being paid by a different MLM system to write this blog. I was a supporter of this site and thought it gave a good opinion of the system and asked good questions. I always wondered what would motivate someone who hasnt been in the business for many years to suddenly start blogging every day about something without the prospect of income.
Are you going to answer my question, or do you keep on dodging how you make money with this blog? It appears to me that you net even less profit than IBOs.
I agree. Amway residual income is a THEORY for 99.99999% of the IBOs.
I stayed in this thing for several years. I saw one big cross line emerald walk away from the biz, thinking he was going to make residual income. The fact is he did not make any; the RESIDUE left (after my upline diamond complained to Amway telling this emerald was not servicing his downline platinums) was close to ZERO.
A famous statement that was made in BWW open meeting was "After you help someone go platinum, you can go to Timbuktu and the $800 residual income will keep coming month after month after month." The fact is you cannot go anywhere until your downline is at least a diamond.
Someone like Larry Winters or Kumar Shivram who has 3 or 4 diamond legs could make some of this "residual" income. But you see, they cannot walk away from this. Once he walks away, all his down lines are no more united.
The only way there is a possibility for you to make residual income at lower levels (like emerald and baby diamond) is if you DIE and if your spouse or children want to take over your business and do some work. If no one is willing to service your downlines, you ain't makin nothin' baby!
A BWW IBO: Thanks for posting this comment! I say this to my husband constantly because our brother and sister in law continuously badger us to buy products. They ensure us that once they have enough residual income they can retire. I think they are crazy. If you really could retire, then why are Diamonds, etc (I don't even know the rest of the titles) STILL traveling to functions and "mentoring" every weekend? I mean, maybe its just me, but when I retire, you can't pay me to travel that much.
And why would any diamond resign or quit if there was a residual income option? By the way, Amway the corporation doesn't mention residual income. This is a myth perpetuated by the systems.
