The Real Amway Business?

So many Amway IBOs, including myself at one time, believe in the "system" and that following the system will result in untold wealth and residual income. They believe that this all comes from Amway. Some years ago, Amway used to report that the average IBO earned just over $100 a month. And that included diamonds and crown ambassadors. That income however, did not include Amway bonuses such as the diamond bonus. Amway now reports that the average IBO income is about $200 a month. But wait, the $200 a month is from active IBOs. Active IBOs are about half of all IBOs so the average income for all IBOs is about $100 a month. Surprise surprise! In the end that means not much has changed with Amway over the years.

So if the average IBO including diamonds and triple ripple crown ambassadors make and average of only $100 a month, how does anyone get rich? Interesting question right? Afterall, 1000 IBOs adds up to $100,000 in income. Thus if some diamond makes $100k per month, the rest of those 999 IBOs earn squat. Even at 100k per month, how do diamonds pay for mansions and sports cars in cash? It's not like a house is the only extravagance that diamonds pay for. What about the Ferraris and jets and first class travel? Even someone who makes a million dollars per year gross income still has to pay taxes, medical insurance and other monthly expenses that people have. Car insurance on a Ferrari would not be cheap, and neither would house insurance on a mansion.

So how do diamonds get the cash to live a diamond lifestyle? It is likely from selling tools and functions. Voicemail can net a diamond $10 per subscribed downline. Then you have standing order, meetings, book of the month along with functions and major functions. These are all profit centers for the diamonds. And rank and file IBOs do not share in tool and function revenue so the Diamonds rake it all in. The cherry on the Sundae is that many IBOs, typically platinums work for free as ushers and other duties so the diamonds can maximize their profits. Take this as food for thought.

Now when you consider that the Amway income and bonuses, plus the tool and function income, now you might be talking about mansions and sports cars. Do the ath for yourself and it will become clear. The real business for the diamonds is selling tools and functions because Amway doesn't say who their current;y qualified diamonds are. A diamond pin is forever so you may have someone who qualified as a diamond for 6 months to never qualify again, but earns a great living off selling tools and functions while wearing a diamond pin. The tools and functions are the real Amway business if you analyze it with a critical eye instead of rose colored glasses.
