Anyone know anything about Amway or Quixtar?

I had a friend of mine give me a presentation of this business and she is wanting me to sign up under her and try and sell these products. It seems promising but things like this always do in the beginning. Its one of those multi-level marketing things. Has anyone heard anything about these businesses Amway & Quixtar. Pro&Cons. I just really don’t know if i want to get involved in something if its a total scam. Thanx

Amway is a 50 yr old $7 billion global direct sales company. They manufacture many of their own brands, starting with one of the world’s first ecological cleaning products back in 1959. Today their two major lines are Nutrilite, the world’s #1 best selling nutritional brand, and Artistry skincare and cosmetics, ranked #3 in the world in “prestige cosmetics”. 9 years ago in North America Amway spun off an internet-based company called Quixtar. After a few years most folk involved with the Amway business had elected to transfer to the new internet-based business and Amway north america was closed. In the rest of the world Amway continued to operate and has become much like Quixtar. Last year Quixtar decided to rebrand back to the Amway name in North America for the one name globally.

You make money in Amway through marketing their products and earning retail and wholesale markup commissions. Problems with Amway tend to arise not with the company or business model itself, but in the way some folk market it. When you join Amway most folk tend to do so with one of a number of established groups and affiliated organisations. These each have their own cultures and ways of doing things. Some groups for example are well known for mixing religious and political evangelism with their Amway businesses. If that’s not something you appreciate (I don’t) then you’ll struggle in that environment.

So one of the keys to a successful Amway business is joining with a group of people you feel comfortable with and can relate to. Treat it like a business, track your incomes and expenses and make your own decisions and it can be an extremely profitable one. Like any businesses though, it takes a deal of time and effort, and some money invested, to get it off the ground and profitable.
