I know there was some discussions on it before on here. I was just introduced to this MLM I guess is what it is. But anyway it is a program where you sell a ton of different products but you refer people to it to either buy from your store which is basically an Amway portal and you get a commission on what they buy which is a really nice thing. But something I noticed when I went to the Amway.com site is that most of the things on their cost like 28 to 38 dollars for like one of them which is a lot of money to be spending on things like energy drinks and other things. I mean wow. I don't think any of my friends could buy any of those products if their lives depended on it. The system itself seems pretty stable and they have a lot of recognition but I mean that is some hard selling to be doing. I come from a sales background to. I know I could sell people on it and get them to buy. I was introduced as I was with a friend who waited then jumped in to me and another friend conversation and wanted to show us this way to make money and well I was interested but my friend being unemployed right now and needing money was more interested than me so I was like okay I will listen to this. She is going to go to this conference where I think they are going to hard sell her on it. I was more of listening to this guy who had this whole sheet of how the system works and stuff and well it looks like a good system but they charge a ton of money for you to join it like 168+ and like $50 for the domain portal. I mean really that is a lot of money to just get started. Is anyone a member of this? How is the selling? Is it hard getting people to buy these products?

I seem to remember Amway trying to establish itself in Britain once, many decades ago. Don't know if it was the same one, but it failed dismally. Far too expensive! Most MLM schemes have the same problem, too many shares and not enough pie.

Yes you are right Petersum. I was a member before and the products are excellent but it is expensive for us here in Philippines. Had they repackage it smaller just like other products then they could have made a nice business here. But I salute AMWAY's brand of training especially on people helping other people get through this hard times.

I was invited by a friend to join Amway last year and have attended one seminar but I declined to join them as I find it hard to sell their products. The commissions and all that goes with it are really good but the sad and hardest part of it is to sell and I don't want to invest money on products that are not that salable. My friend who invited me did not progress and lost some good money.
