You make several good points on your web page. Thank you!
Most people who try MLM never make one red cent. In fact, quite often
they
lose hundreds, even thousands of dollars doing things that don't work.
Then
they give up in disgust and tell all their friends that MLM is a
rip-off.
MLM is not a rip-off, it is not a scam or a money game. It is a
powerful,
legitimate way for an average person to become financially independent.
In
fact, it is one of the very few ways. But, just like other legitimate
business, you have to know what you're doing if you're going to make
money
at it.

Thank you for this invaluable site !
We live in the UK and have been invited to join the Amway Network and
are
due to go to our first rally on Sunday, with our first home plan session
on Monday June 9 with some of our closest friends.
We will still go on Sunday but will NOT be convinced ! It is now 23:00
on
Friday night and I am going to call my friends to let them know that
they
should still come but they should hang around afterwards for another
presentation comprising of info from your site and from downloaded court
cases, price comparisons and "success" statistics.
My only hope is that we can disuade our friend who introduced us from
getting any further in.
Once again , thanks.

Dear ?Ayukii?,
My name is ****** and I am writing to you from *******,
Australia. If I happen to use some Australian terms that you do not
understand, please forgive me.
I am currently an ex-distributor by circumstance not choice & yes your
right, SOME directs and above MAY try to pidgeon-hole me as an excuse
maker
or loser and that I should simply blast through the barriers holding me
back and conquer the world with Amway right now. I emphasise SOME and
MAY
heavily. My former upline have put no pressure on me to get back in and
DO
IT. They know and understand that at the moment I'm not capable of
giving
this business my best shot and therefore there is very little point, for
anyone concerned, in pushing me to do so, because neither them or me
stand
to gain by doing so (perfectly logical, yes?). The bottom line is that
it
is always your business. Many of the things you have written about here,
whilst perfectly correct in what you experianced, and many others as
well
I'm sure, are simply not true about the network that I am associated
with,
and therefore I can only assume that you had a regrettablely bad
experiance, but you can't go around assuming that all distributors or
organisations are like the one you were in. It is incredibly unfair of
you
to put onto the internet this sort of material based on something that,
in
the overall scheme of things, is based on an unpleasant experiance with
one
or a handful of individuals that went about building this business in
the
wrong way. From what you have said in a very immoral and unethical way,
if
not illegal.
A lot of the things you mention here are right. I've seen it before and
while reading your message, recognised it. Weakness to me is blindly
accepting everything you are told. Maybe weakness is a bit strong, but
that
attitude is, if nothing else, immature. Part of being a grown up is
making
decisions for yourself and, if applicable, your family, based on your
own
morals and ethics. If your morals and ethics do not agree with what you
have been told by your upline, then don't do it. When I do eventually
get
back to doing the business, I intend to do my best to ensure that the
people in my group can never get put in a situation where they can be
attacked by someone else about the way they conduct thier business.
Honesty
and integrity (just like in, as you put it, real business) are the only
way
to go. That is honesty and integrity when contacting, conducting and
teaching your business. It is the only way that both you and your family
can HAPPILY make it to Diamond. The same reason that you quite the
business
(time with family) is exactly the same reason that I have simply put it
on
hold. The concept is the greatest opportunity available on the planet
for
average Joe's and Josephine's like us to have a prosperous life
TOGETHER.
Together meaning that if your family and friends aren't with you when
you
become successfulI, what's the point? I freely admit that the way a lot
of
distributors have conducted themselves and thier business (and worst of
all, taught thier downline to do the same thing) is nothing short of
outrageous. However, having said that, if you are unfortunate enough to
be
sponsored into such a group, you can still conduct yourself and your
business in a decent way, regardless of what your upline is doing or
saying. You know what is acceptable and what isn't. So do it your way
not
thiers. Do what you know to be right, not what someone else is telling
you
is right.
I understand what happened in your experiance with Amway. I've seen it
happen to others as well. BUT.... in every case the bottom line of blame
can sit squarely on the shoulders of the upline. The way they were
building
thier business was immoral or unethical and they blindly expected thier
downline to follow and in far too many occasions that downline did. I've
come up with a term that I use every time someone has asked me about the
best way to do the business. It is called "Passive Sponsoring". What
that
means is that I have taken out a lot of the hype and "American Crap" out
of
the plan and simply stick to the logics of the business. To me the
logics
of the business come down to the same thing as normal business (normal
is
much more accurate a desciption than REAL), that is, mathematics and
ethics. If a business plan of any sort is going to work it can be shown
with mathematics. It can just as easily be shown by the character of the
person showing the plan. If a person has changed for the worse since
joining Amway, you will always be able to point to someone or a group of
someones that is responsible for it in thier upline. This business is
good,
it is each persons own attitude that determines if it is acceptable or
not.
If a person goes into this business with the attitude that the most
important thing is what they are going to get out of it, then it is
never
going to work. If, however, the attitude is what can I do to help my
downline become successful, without compromising my own or thier honesty
and ethics, then no one is going to suffer, are they?
You seem to be very critical of the way upline tell thier distributors
that they are friends. You don't have to be a genius to see that with
the
way some people are, with friends like that, who needs enemies? A friend
won't tell you that you should do something that they know is wrong.
Again,
though, it comes down to YOU. If you have doubts about something a
distributor upline has told you, check it out. Contact the company and
ask
them. Check it out with consumer organisations. If you can not find
anything to support the theory, and you still aren't sure, then ignore
it.
You still have to make your own decisions, and those decisions MUST be
based on your own experiances, morals and ethics, otherwise it's like
trying to give up smoking when you don't want to, it is never going to
work. You will be trying to tell people to do something that you aren't
sure whether you believe yourself. That won't work - ever.
If you are interested, and I guess that you probably aren't, I was in
for
2-3 years and never got above 12% except for 1 month at 15%. I was never
a
direct or above. I could however see the enourmous potential of the
Amway
business. Not just for me, but for the world as a whole. As long as it
is
done with the right motives and attitudes towards people. Because when
all
is said and done, that really should be the priority,.
One thing I really agree with you about is the tools issue. I know that
a
lot of the income that Directs and above talk of making is made up of
tool
profit. This is extremely offensive and just plain wrong. When I get
into a
position to do something about it I will. Your only income from this
business should be made out of the business plan and paid to you either
directly or in-directly from Amway. Anything else borders on illegal and
it
is not what the business plan was designed for or what it is all about.
In summary, the business PLAN is perfect and it is legal, moral and
ethical. The execution of that plan by certain individuals is none of
the
above, BUT... that does not mean that the business is a bad one.
Cheers,

Subject: Great Expose on Amway!:
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 97 23:52:54 PDT
I read the whole thing....simply tremendous!
And on your part, great courage!
Amway stole a lot of money from my own family.
Remeber in 1990 when Amway increased the
MCI sign-up bonus from $2.00 to $10.00, and the
points were increased to 25PV/BV?
Well, I had advanced word of the increase, and
I also had infromation on AT&T giving money to
Planned Barrenhood.
So, I read the contract cover to cover.
Plus ALL other Amway comments on doing
direct mail.
What I did was mail an offer to dozens and dozens
of pro-life and pro-family groups, asking them to do
exposes on AT&T's PP funding, and to enclose
one of my MCI sign-ups.
ALL LEGAL AND EVEN AMWAY'S SUE KESSLER
told me, PRIOR to launcing the direct-mail campaing, that
it was "legal." All I did not tell them was that it was
a promo centered on the Abortion issue.
Meanwhile, my son had been born, October 9, 1989.
He soon after developed or manifested severe medical
problems, that threatened his life....but, I knew I would
have the money to take care of him, in fact, more than
enough, because several of the pro-life and pro-family groups
were CERTAIN that Millions of Dollars would come in from
their lists alone, based on their prior experience.
But, Amway, without notice, and behind my son's infant
back, STOLE THE MONEY!
They sent out letters LIEING that what I was offering them
was AGAINST THE RULES. Even though to me they continued to
acknowledge that NO RULES were being broken!!!
Mail Fraud! Theft by Deception! Telephonic Fraud.
R.I.C.O. And, attemtped MURDER of MY SON!
I am on a quest to DESTROY AMWAY for it's
actions have nearly destroyed the inncocent life of my
son.....then RICH releases a book entitled, get this....
"COMPASSIONATE CAPITALISM!"
The cad had the unmitigated gall.....
Yea, Criminal Compassion!
God Bless You!

sit here and try to tell the
rest of the world that Amway is a pyramid scam or a cult but did you

Someone once said that most people are too short to succeed because
success simply goes
over their heads.
Kelly, if you find it so hard to make it in Amway you'd probably not do
much better anywhere
else!
How dare you attack such a wonderful operation? where else would anyone
give you the same
chance? which business can you operate with such LOW investment and
overhead, even if the
tools and the functions cost $5000.00 a year and it takes you 10 years
to become a DIAMOND.
Who cares if you spend $50 or $100 a month on tapes and books that teach
you, make you feel
good and perhaps repeat them selves. Where else would you go and enjoy
such functions like
the Amway functions? What would you suggest for people to do; watch TV ?
do drugs? drink?
would you be happy if people spend their money doing that? People are
being led on by
Amway, oh yeah? what do you make of the Lottery then, is this a good
dream? How many good
honest people lose their money there? how much of their money is spent
on gambling and how
many lose their homes and file bankruptcy over the Vegas "Dream". Why
didn't you bother to
invest in a net page that shows how people spend their lives in front of
the slot machines? 
YES !!!! the Amway business is a business of making MONEY !! no one
promised anyone a
"garden of roses", if you want to be rich you will need to work your
BUTT off, no matter what
business you choose! No one puts you under pressure, if you don't like
your upline then go to a
different line of sponsorship and don't complain about how money is
being made in Amway or
any of it's distributorships. It is a lot more honest to make money from
motivational tapes and
books than many other forms of business that are out there !! and
YES.....if someone takes the
time and effort to become a leader in the Amway business he deserves to
be making money
from his teaching because his teaching will be worth a lot of money to
some of his students! just
like school; some pay and succeed, some pay and fail !!!!!!!!!!!! Does
anyone give you any
details as to what would the huge yearly tuition at Harvard pay for?
I'll bet you, it won't even
include books !!!!
Your net page is an unjust and a vicious act of frustration; "if I can't
make it then no one should
make it". You're NOT helping anyone by sharing your misfortunes, the
fact that you didn't make it
in the Amway business does not mean that many others won't ! People will
ALWAYS pay for
goods and services and the smart ones will decide to do so through the
network marketing
industry the same as they did 50 years ago getting involved in
franchises. Some lost, some made
extra cash and some made millions!! The media, of course, chose to
report how illegal the
franchise business was. I suggest that you'd pack your begs and move on
to HELP yourself
and your future, instead of jeopardizing others and their future. There
will ALWAYS be a price to
pay for financial success and if you want to own your own business you
will need to invest your
OWN time and money!
The Amway business opportunity is among the best since it requires a
very low investment with a
realistic potential for a VERY high return! The food business requires a
repeat investment in
dead cows and chickens, the Amway business requires a repeat investment
in tapes books and
functions. You may choose to rent a U HAUL and haul your own dead cows
and chickens to
your restaurant or you may choose to have them delivered and pay
SHIPPING cost, the same
goes with the books; you may choose to buy them at a retail store or buy
them from your upline
and help generate more volume in his business.
After all, it is everyone's goal to get to the point that they too can
generate volume in their
business from what ever is there to generate volume from. Isn't it what
business is all about?
WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND ????
It is thanks to very few bright individuals of this country that you're
provided with a computer and
a net page to display your poisons pages on and it is thanks to the
Amway corporation that you
are provided with a distribution system that will lead the way in next
century. Some will choose to
waste their time writing lengthy ignorant letters on the net and some
will choose to prepare for
their future.   After all, theruals should be clearer than the ten
commandments; those individuals
who succeed, choose to make the best out of any situation and just move
on forward, others
choose to do very little and complain about the bad hand they have been
dealt.
One final thing; I don't know off anyone who has done something if he
was not motivated to do
it. The motivational tools that are produced by the Amway
distributorships are a blessing to
those who choose to use them and listen to them!
How dare you claim that the stories and experiences of people who worked
hard and achieved
their dreams, are meant to brain wash anyone? What are you listening to,
what have YOU been
"brain washed" with ?
Wake up and smell the roses, Kelly. You can't notice how good they smell
if you choose to sit on
the thorns!

sorry !
If you read at all, you will notice that many other network marketing
companies are using the same methods as Amway which are legal and proved
to
be successful.
You're fighting an industry change and you will lose this battle in the
exact
same way others have lost a similar battle with franchises. Who is

the
time to see Amway for what it really is, because if you don't then you
will
turn to be a head of a "cult" who is trying to convince people that the
good
things which are out there, are not really good for them. It's has been

Dear Kelly,
I know what is rough, I may have been born at night but it wasn't last
night. I am sorry you had a bad experience with Amway but I believe
you're
missing out on the basic idea. You can get as many testimonails from
people
who claim that Ford does not manufacture good cars but many other people
would still buy a Ford.
You fail too see the whole concept behind network marketing, you turn it
around and make it look like a cult. Tell me, have you ever been at an
IBM
sales people convention ?. You will find the same sales approach and the
same
music there ! Is this a cult too?
Perhaps everything is a cult, perhaps watching TV and being conditioned
to
buy certain products and watch certain shows is a cult too. Why do
people get
hooked on shows like Beverly Hills 90210 etc. aren't they produced in
such a
way so people would get hooked? Who is making millions and who is paying
to
watch, who's being brain washed and who's on the beaches of the world.
Is it
Aaron Spelling or is it you and I ?
Network marketing is a business concept and it's all around us. You can
do
it with or without the "tools" but it has proven to get faster results
WITH.
Can you imagine how much time you'd need to spend with your down line
and
try to explain him/her how to go about making this work? Time is money
and
that's why distributors pay for the tools but the Amway business has
been
built big without the tools as well. It is natural for some to strike a
conversation with total strangers but it is not natural for most, the
books
and tapes do build confidence. There are many books and tapes out there,
how
to make your life this way and how to make life that way, many use them
for
other professions or just to better their lives.......is this a cult?
The Amway distributorships has got it all packeged into one "system",
amway
provides the products and the successful distributors provide the
teaching
and the system who calls to keep your attitude up and your hopes high.
is
this what you call living a lie?
How is it any different than owning your own store, reinvesting more
money
into it and with hopes that business will grow in a few years. I know
too
many business owners who keep their stores open by getting into more and
more
debt and the only way they can make a living is by borrowing.......do
you see
this as a better option?
Many have lost their businesses after years of hard labor and big
investements and they too filed bankruptcy .......were they in a cult of
some
sort? after all, they did pay rent to their landlords, pay for their
suppliers and their employees and pay for many other things that DID NOT
guarentee any future income. The same thing goes for the Amway
business.......you actually have better odds to make real cash with the
Amway
business. Tools do not cost more than $2000.00 a year and this is a VERY
low
risk business by all standards! trust me, I owned several businesses and
still do. I don't have anybody to motivate me at my business, no one to
tells me; "you can do it and don't give up when things don't go well",
no one
tells me "let me help you" and strangers don't care if I make it or not.
We
all need support because life can be a real bitch and calling what has
become
of this world "real life" is not right. Life can be better if people
would
help each other and help themselves as they help others and this is what
the
Amway business is all about. This is what Rich Devos and Jay Vanandel
stand
for and will continue to stand for and it is because of their cause that
this
business is doing as well as it does. People want meaning in their life,
not
just making money, we all end up realizing that money is not everything
and
that's why there are doctors, business people, lawyers, psychologists
and
many other professional people who join the Amway business and these are
the
ones who usually build it to the diamond level, they get in not because
of
lack of funds. They get in because of the cause and becasue they want to
help
people excel and thus make them happier.
They believe in free enterprise and in this country and they believe in
God
(each one and his own God). Pull out a dollar bill and look at it,
doesn't
it say "in god we trust"? who printed that on US money.....is the
goverment
a cult too?
Kelly, show your readers how reputable is Rich Devos. Tell them how many
honors he recieved from goverments and institutions, tell them how the
people
of Amway support Easter Seals, tell them that Rich Devos owns the
Orlando
Magic team, tell them that Jay Van-andel served as Chairman of the US
Chamber
of Commerce, tell them how Amway cares about the inviroment, how it's
factories are being kept, how they treat their 13,000 employees around
the
world and how they thrive for the best.
I am not "right wing" nor am I "left wing" . everyone in Amway chooses
what ever he wants to believe in and support. Let's not spend too much
time
debating which "wing" is better let's just "fly" and make our lives
better.
I don't hate you as much anymore Kelly but I will never forget how your
"findings" about Amway heart me and made me look like a total freak in
the
eyes of someone I really care for, I will probably never hear from this
person again because he now avoids me as if I was the devil himself.
Your

businesses that is built on a solid foundation and is based on the love
and
care of people like you and I. All kinds of people join the Amway
business,
some are honest, some are not but I believe that most are trying to be
the
best that they can be. Judging the Amway people as you do is almost like
racisem, I am sorry to say. I believe the number of wonderful people in
Amway
outshines the "bad" ones.
Network Marketing is the way business will be done in the next century
and
there's proof of it everywhere; Business schools, books, Fortune and
Success
magazines and many other network marketing companies that followed
Amway's
steps. Amway is the 1st and the largest by far and that's why ALL the
heat is
directed towards it.
In the Jan/Feb 1997 issue, page 16 you can find an article about a
network
marketing company called TPN under the title of "positive revolution".
This
company sells motivational and personal development programing ( what
you
reffer to as "cult") distributed by satellite television. I quote: "
Jeff
Olson (it's president), hopes The People Network (TPN) now at $40
million,
can overpower the negative influence of mainstream TV and change
people's
lives" . Kelly, is this a cult too?
Another quote from Success magazine: " AT&T has made a deal with Shaklee
(a
net work marketing company) to sell communications services, because
it's
been losing too much market share to Excel Telecomunication of Dallas,
the
$500 million MLM long distance reseller".
How do you think TPN and it's distributors make their money, could it be
from
books tapes and function on TV ? Do you believe the owners of AT&T to be
dumb? Is this a cult or is this a totaly new and fast growing INDUSTRY?
Why don't you pick up the June 97 issue of "Success" and read about how
economist Paul Pilzer is making millions using Amway's giant distributor
force.
Read, get informed have your readers get inforemd. Get advise from the
one's
who are leading this country and it's economy forward, consult that ones
who
make it happen not the ones who watch what happen. Try to make sure you
help
people understand that if they don't "ride" a different vehicle they
will
reach retierment age and the Social Security administration will have no
money to pay them since IT IS the biggest pyramid scam, their money is
running out and the whole goverment is $5 billion in the hole! Why don't
you read a book called "Who stole the american dream" by Burk Hedges and
get
some facts! NO....he's is not an Amway distributor.
And now.......let's expose the real TRUTH:
The real truth is that things are changing faster than ever and we all
try desperately to keep up. We all need to understand that the old
business
mentality will be flushed down the toilete because a new industry came
our
way, due to the development of the computer. Soon enough, EVERYTHING
will be
distributed through network marketing......it's happening Kelly.......it
is
NOT a theory anymore, it is a fact and it's all around us ! The US GNP
is
$7 Trillion (I think) and the network marketing industry is allowing us,
"simple people", to tap into it and share the profits. Did you know that
only
20% of the product cost actualy pays to manufacture it, the other 80% is
in
DISTRIBUTION !! Modern technology has allowed manufacturers to reduce
the
cost of manufacturing and most of the money is in distribution, that 80%
was
held by the VERY FEW hands until network marketing came a long. Read
about it
ask economists ask manufacturers ask business people, it is a FACT!
Wouldn't you or your readers like to be a part of it and get residual
income
from it? or would you rather work all your life and support the current
distributors....they have ENOUGH money !!! No wonder the media is trying
to put down network marketing,
can you imagine what kind of a loss it would be to the TV and Radio
Moguls if
distributors wouldn't need to advertise as much? They will actually have
to
WORK for their money :)
You see........it's not AMWAY, it's EVERYWHERE and the more Network
Marketing penetrates the market, the easier it will become to "get
people"
and people won't think of network marketers as freaks who want to make
money
of off them, they would love to join in and then money would flow in
faster.
However, it will the the pioneers who will make more money and that's
why
they are willing to pay the price of rejection, it is a painful price to
pay
but it's worth it! Get this; $7 trillion is the US GNP (gross national
product) and the network marketing market penetration is only about $11
Billion around the world.
There is plenty of money to be made, for the people who choose to wake
up.
If you don't like Amway then choose another stable network marketing
company
and get on the "wagon".
This is why I say that your web site will only hurt many good yet
ignorant people but Amway and other companies like it will continue to
grow,
they are tapping into the distribution market and therefor NOTHING can
stop
them like nothing has stopped the current distribution system that keeps
most
everybody J.O.B ie
JUST OVER BROKE. There is ENOUGH money out there for EVERYONE, there is
no
need for poverty and there is no need to work all your life with nothing
to
show for it. Finally, the computer age has openned new avenues for
everybody, avenues that were within the reach of VERY few bright
business men
untill computers came around.
Kelly, I hope you can sit at home with your husband and go over my
letter.
Check the facts and I hope you will realize that what you are actually
trying
to fight is not what you think. I also hope that your unfortunate Amway
experience wouldn't set you back. Investigate, join another company. You
joined Amway for a good reason, why back off now? I don't know what you
do for a living but as a business man, for the past 12 years, I can see
how
everything is changing. It won't be too long before network marketing
will
take over the little guys like retail stores. Let's be realistic, why
would
anyone want to spend money at one place when there's another place that
pays
him back on his purchases and his down line's purchases and delivers the
stuff to one's home? It's just common sense, God forbid should we lose
that
too !
Some people find it difficult to see the "big picture" but what ever
"eye
sight" one may have can not change the facts, people need to open their
eyes
a little wider.
All the best !
