Better Than Amway?

  One of the silly things I get asked occasionally by IBOs is what’s better than Amway since I opine that Amway is a lousy way to make an extra buck.   Actually, if people actually made money with Amway, I’d probably have nothing to say.  But it is a fact that the vast majority of people make nothing or lose money in Amway.  Typically, losses are because of the tools and functions.   This is why diamonds teach hard core dedication to the system and the teachings of "CORE".  This actually doesn't help the IBO, but it provides financial security for the diamonds in the form of income as a hard core group of IBOs buying standing orders and attending functions provides a steady income for the diamonds.  In some or possibly many cases, a more steady income than Amway income.  

So, what’s better?  Well, staying home and doing nothing is better because you won’t be wasting your time and money chasing an opportunity where you are very likely to lose money. Staying at home to watch “The Simpsons” is better because you’ll be entertained.  But seriously if you want to make extra money? What can be done?  

Get part time work.  You can. Use sone of the extra money plus invest some of that extra income.  This is the route I took when I was young, and it’s paid off big now.  Investing for the long term in bid companies like Apple or Microsoft gives an average return in the range of 20% or more in some cases.  Thus, your money can possibly double every 3-5 years, provided there isn't a recession or bear market.  Start an actual business with a specialty such as installing flooring or security doors.  These can be very part time with good results although sone skill is required.   However, those skills can be learned with some effort.

You can also buy and sell things such as flipping used cars.  Buy a car cheap, fix it up cosmetically and sell it for a profit.  Or find a niche market where you can sell insurance or burial plots part time.  These are real ways you can actually make some extra money.  In the end you need to decide for yourself on what to do but I can tell you that almost anything you choose will be more lucrative than pursuing Amway.    

Good luck in whatever you do, if you choose to pursue anything.
