WT Powers is not an MLM, it is a system to help you build an MLM.

Not likely. Amway is doing over $10 billion in sales.

Anyone heard something about Amway filing bankruptcy? A neighbor told me today. Is it true?

I was shown the plan, I tried my best to “recruit” but found even my family and close friends shunned me, the market is completely “saturated” after a few months I realized how large the Amway pyramid really was.

The secret is the “tools” the “motovational” tapes. but only a few at the top get to control that,

I got out after two months when I sat down and figured that even I went full time the most I would make would be $115.00 per month. (before expenses). I started running and never looked back. my upline sponser could not believe I would leave.

Hard to believe people fall for this and stay in way to long. Its “hopeless” and the “greed” at the “ralleys” is is disgusting,

I am very surprised that Amway is still around, to be honest with you, but I think that because their is an extremely “fast” turn around of new people, but would you think that should end also???

Each and everyday I hear more and more about these Amway diamonds going broke or owing people money. My former Amway upline Diamond was Mike Bundy. My personal sponsor lied and told me that Mike made in upwards of $500k per month, but obv if you look through the top 400 earners in MLM Mike Bundy is nowhere to be found! Here is an article I wrote about this issue recently: http://workwithjoe.us/mlm-leaders/review-of-mike-bundy-amway-founders-diamond-and-ltd-leader/

In response to the comments that it doesn’t matter what company / comp plan you go with …Really ? Do yourself a favor and get out of Network marketing because the 1. Integrity of the company and the 2. Quality of the product and 3. payout to the sales force are the three KEYS to selecting any company. I had other criteria like length in business (more than 5 years) and a great upline who offer FREE training and SHARE tools not just SELL tools.

I choose Isagenix, the comp plan and the monthly requirements can’t be compared. I used to sell Avon and Wildtree Herbs (because I liked the products) and I NEVER had to pay taxes on my income , pretty sad. I also didn’t get suckered into buying tons of tools so I never lost anything more than time . TOOLS should be purchased from PROFITS . Elbow grease and a small marketing budget are all it should take to get off the ground. I now invest in a few tools for Isagenix , one of my favorite is Sendible because it makes social marketing easy and way more effective, weebly to build my website, One true media for videos and Vista Print for paper supplies. I also use the free websites I am given with isagenix and free squeeze pages plus I upgraded to their contact management system because I get a lot of leads. I spend at most $60 a month on tools. I read ZZ and RK books , but I borrow those . I may travel to convention BUT it is a vacay / business expense and i do 2 shows a year at approx $300. Am I rolling in it , no . Am I making money and steadily increasing ABSOLUTELY !

In 3 years I expect to be making a large full time income and be able to cover all my household bills. I KNOW I can do it because I know my upline does it and they are helping me step by step to get there. I may never reach millionaire status, and I’m fine with that . The difference is that reaching millionaire status is possible in my business because we get paid at LEAST 50% of what the company takes in. We have REAL millionaires, not paper millionaires , so all I have to do is follow their lead.

To end this book I’ve written here,lol, is PLEASE investigate . Don’t jump into these new companies with 1 or 2 products that don’t stand the test of time and don’t get suckered in by a comp plan that really only works for the company …do the MATH . And as far as tools…search the internet . REAL masters like Zig and Robert K offer so much FREE , you don’t need self proclaimed guru interpretations of the source. Tools are great IF YOU CAN AFFORD THEM !
Good Luck !

not exactly related but doesn’t the ftc come down on nwm companies or reps who post their bonus checks on the internet/facebook?
seems like the ftc wants evidence of retail sales from nwm’s not hype from the top of the pyramid.?????

Thanks James. Many people give up way too early. Focus on developing your skills and work towards a lofty goal and great things will come. Of course, it’s still important to keep your eyes open and watch what is going on around you.

Thanks. I appreciate the response. I can respect leaving for moral/ethical reasons. I can’t say that you were dumb to join in the first place as often we don’t find out about moral issues until we’re fully involved and been around awhile. It’s tough that has happened to you, but I’m amazed that you’ve pressed through, especially through that many changes. That’s really the main point, though. It take perseverance to succeed in any of these businesses. Cudos to you.
