How To Make Money In Amway

One of the secrets that most IBOs don't figure out about Amway is how the money is made. This is because your upline probably hasn't been forthcoming about their secrets. Tens or maybe close to a hundred million people over the years have seen the Amway plan either at a coffee shop, someone's living room, or maybe in a convention center or hotel ballroom. In my day, Amway was promoted as a way to make money and save money. I doubt that this has changed very much over the years.

But let's get real. Do you really think you can get rich selling basically vitamins and household products person to person and to your family and friends? I would venture a guess that many people struggle to meet the 100 PV minimum defacto quota. And that 100 PV bracket is likely to get you a whopping $10 bonus. Apologists will claim that it's $10 more than you get from Walmart or Costco. Let's examine that. If I spend $300 at Walmart or Costco, my cashback credit card gives me about $3.00. Not a lot, but still I am "paid" to shop. Next, I can get 36 rolls of kirkland toilet paper for $11.99. If you buy meadowbrook toilet paper, I am already ahead of you in overall savings and that doesn't include the savings from other common or similar products. Never mind the time you spend fnding customers and downline, plus the expenses associated with running a business. Obviously you won't likely mae a lot of money selling products person to person.

So how do these diamonds earn what appears to be a sizable income? The answer is simple. They sell voicemail, premiere club membership, standing orders, book, seminar and opne meeting tickets and other materials. While a rare individual may actually move up the ranks to become an emerald or diamond once in a while, the rest of the rank and file IBOs end up with a net loss directly attributable to the purchase of these tools. Selling tools to a group of thousands can be a huge source of income and might be able to sustain the sports cars and other luxuries that are shown off.

The very sad, and often unseen reality though, is that the system doesn't work. It never did apparently work and there is no documented unbiased evidence that the system does anything to help Amway business owners to succeed and thrive. If it did, there should be new diamonds emerging every month. In North America, there were maybe a handful of new diamonds in the last ten years or so, give or take a few. But no steady progression of success. Instead, the same old tired diamonds are still on stage selling their wares (tools), with little notable success growing beneath them.

Can someone make money in Amway? The answer is yes. But the truth is that you can earn much much more selling tools. Amway defenders like to say "anyone" can succeed in Amway. To that I say "anyone" can win the powerball lottery. While Amway is not a game of chance, there have been more powerball lottery winners in the US than new diamonds in Amway. And powerball lottery winners did far less work.

  3. DUDE! That is what I have been saying for years. It is very possible that, one will succeed in this business, only if they do not participate in the system. Also, I have figured out a different "Commission Structure" to allow the Newbie to make more money, and able to stay in business. The Structure is more bonus from the bottom up, and not from the Top down. In order for the upline to make more bonus, he will need to build the legs wide, instead of depth.

  5. kevin. about 8 yrs ago after high school me and some friends decided to try this and nothing seemed to work for us. we just figured later on after starting it was a scheme or we just were too young to understand and what not about getting people interested. recently one of my friends decided to try it again and says some things have changed and whatnot, and right now he seems to have some success so far. Far more now than he did back in day. One way I can think of is just selling the products you can find on the website. they give you a website when you signup and my way of thinking is to promote your website to the best of your ability as any business and in time profits are to be seen. That is just one idea that I had and been thinking about, but I read your comment above about people arent wanting to listen to you and if you like you can give me an email and we can IM each other and talk about it or whatever. if you are to get this comment you can contact me at usakorjb03@gmail.com
