The following is only a small excerpt from the main article.
"Well, to make a long story shorter...I joined the business, brought in
like 5 close friends, attended many meetings, met other people in my
uplines business, attended a major function, and even bought products.
My start up cost was 140 dollars. That money, I was told was to pay
for my start up kit and for my 4 websites. Only maybe 2 close friends
actually signed on the business with the full 140, the rest did 60 to
mainly get the websites. Oh and remember my friend I mentioned
earlier, the cousin of my upline and sponsor? Well, he also signed on
with me as my upline since he signed up first. None of my friends
including me have made any actual money since we've been in the
business. Sure I've received checks: 1 for 6 dollars, another for 38
dollars and the last for 50 dollars, but that money still doesn't
exceed even my start up cost. Plus it was basically forced so that I
would go on to the next bracket, I didn't do anything my upline just
bought a bunch of random crap. To be honest my friends also haven't
really done anything either except my one friend Neill who was
ocassionally selling some products to his mom. And basically not
really seeing any money from that anyway, he was probably getting 10-
20 dollars for selling like 200+ dollars worth of Amway garbage.
The point behind my story is, whether or not Amway is legit, it's
still a waste of time, money and it's a good way to alienate your
friends and family. How bullsh*t is it to receive 7 dollars for
slaving at the bottom of the pyramid while pushing 250-300 dollars
worth of products. The only people who make any actual money or get
rich off of it are the ones who do it by lying, stealing and selling
all those motivational bullcrap to people. They're not rich from
Amway, they're rich from BWW, the training and support system of
Amway. Sure it's good to be motivated, postive and open minded in
anything you do including business but their money is just blood money
sucked dry from the people at the bottom who do the work and see
little to none of the results. I'm too moral to get rich doing
something that evil to good, honest people."
