Hi,

what do you think - is it possible to earn good money being in Amway? How probable is it?

Is it like this that just small fraction of involved IBOs make decent money there, and even smaler fraction realy good money?

If I am normal person, average or slightly above average - and I'm talking here about virtues like being prone to hard work, having some business background, being quite good in selling things or ideas, ability to persuasive talking etc - do I have a chance to earn good income there?

I have to admit that I am honest - so lying to people and deception is not an option for me.

Sure it is! Just look at all the Diamonds! Do you know how much they earn weekly??

Well Pikpok, it's good to know that you have those qualities; they will take you far. However, regarding MLM, most of them are not necessary to be successful. You do not need to have any business skill, nor do you need to be able to sell or be a persuasive speaker. To be successful in MLM you simply need to be honest, willing to help others, and willing to learn from those who are more experienced and more successful. Most importantly, though, is that you need to know why you're working your distributorship; What is the one thing in life that you want to achieve that you're willing to work so hard for? This one thing will allow you to overcome whatever hardships cross your path. It is unfortunate, however, that so many people quit the company. The blame there lies with the sponsors however, not the system. Too many people have had too much success for the system to be faulty. Often what happens is that the sponsors become recruiters, as in they simply get you in and let you fend for yourself and because the new distributor doesn't know what to do they leave feeling like they were scammed out of their sign-up fee. It's unfortunate, however that is the reason MLM has such a large dropout rate.

I have to agree with the above post. I am an Amway IBO and have been for 9 months. My upline Emerald had owned 12 business and sold them all and now makes more from Amway and has free time back. I became friends with him months before he introducted me to Amway and has been helping me since day 1. The business is a very easy business but it's all about the people you work with. I could see how some people just recruit and don't teach anything to anyone. However, my upline has taught me to make a profit first then worry about recruiting. He wants me to make sure I do the right thing for myself so I can teach the right thing to others.

If you are lucky enough to learn the rights things from the right people and meet open minded people willing to just listen to the plan for an hour, the Amway business or any MLM for that matter will work. However, living in NY I must say it's not easy. It definitely takes a special person to overcome the no's and objections while still maintaining a sense of morality and optimism. I for one am like that so I have no issues working my butt off to get my business off the ground and teaching others how to do it.
