Is joining AMWAY good idea? -

Absolutely not. Amway/Quixtar is just another pyramid scheme. My best friend did it and foreclosed on her home with in a year. They expect you to buy exorborant priced items that are comparable to items that you can get at any of your local retail stores. The trick is to get other people to buy this stuff under your account. Everyone you get into the business goes under you on the pyramid so that you profit on their spending then they get someone under them which moves you higher on the pyramid and so on and so forth. However, this is time consuming, difficult, and costly. My friend practically begged me to get in on it and I refused. She finally got me to go to a meeting with her just to see what it was about and I left flabergasted by the whole event. The people leading the meeting were actually telling the audience that their bills were a secondary priority to buying Quixtar products. The sad part is that people believed them. I met people whos credit had been ruined, didn t pay their power bill that month, foreclosed, etc.... It s terrible because these folks thought they were justified and had their priorities in order. The women and men weren t allowed to eat together, women didn t speak in these meetings; in short, it was the closest thing to a cult I have ever personally experienced. Needless to say I didn t go back and I certainly didn t join. My friend made it a personal goal of hers to educate everyone on the evils of Amway/Quixtar for about a year. Then she finally got over it and moved on. There are many ways to make money without Amway.Good Luck in all of your endeavors :-)

Whether it s a good idea or not really depends on you. Why are you joining? If you like Amway products and want to get them at distributor pricing, it s a good idea. If you want to join to make money, then a lot more factors come in to play. Amway is a 50 yr old $8.2billion company with a whole range of award winning products. Tens of thousands of people developed significant incomes partnering with Amway. But like any business it takes time and work. If you re willing to work, then it can be a good idea. If you need immediate gratification or you ll quit something, then it s not a good idea. If you re not willing to learn, and perhaps change the way you do some things, then it s not a good idea. Being successful almost always requires change. If it didn t, then you d already be successful!One final note - who you join with can also have an influence. If they re people you can t relate to or connect with, you ll find it a struggle. If you like the people and connect with them, it s a lot more fun. And more fun makes everything easier! :-)

Probably not a good idea. You will be encouraged to sell to your friends, family, coworkers and people you go to church with. Next you will have to ask them to join Amway as well. I don t feel like friends and family are the people you want to try to profit off of. I think it will put undue strain on your relationships in the best of circumstances.

A home based business is a good idea but IF you want to join a company make sure to have some start up capital so that you aren t surprised by it. Its not wise to take out any loans or use up your credit card to overburden yourself. I think you should make sure you are realistic about the amount of time effort you will put into it. Your sponsoring team is also an important part of your success so make sure to meet or talk with them but figure out what is hype what is real business building advice.I belong to MA we shop from ourselves too with our brands internet partners, much like the Big A, but we are rapidly evolving and don t hush anyone or make silly claims......although there are exceptions to every company.Do your homework get all the facts or hidden expenses like monthly orders services. How many people does it take for you to make a decent monthly commission? Do they offer to set goals and meet or speak with potential customers/partners before you commit? Can you focus in one area or niche market? Makes sense right?Good luck whatever you decide.
