Yes. You are only 35. do you have spare time to canvass for accounts? If yes then join. Then you must give out your shyness and try to meet your friends, known people and unknown people, explain about the schemes and canvas accounts. there are some people making a lot of money in this. Some who are not successful. If u have a two wheeler and also time then u can make it.
I am old and am not interested in meeting new people. So I did not take it.

OHOHO! U are in insurance line. then you can do both the works at the same time. You can use ur clientele for making them AMWAY members. Out of 25 one will agree. Go ahead. You will succeed. Possibly they will ask u to pay Rs.3000 or so, is it not. have a good day.

You won't rich without hard work and either with multi level marketing (MLM) Amway is kind of MLM. Some people succeed to be rich people, free time and get passive income from MLM but many others failed. The key is hard work.
MLM is appropriate for you who doesn't have money enough to build own company/business because with less capital, you can build your own network and sell goods.
MLM also called direct marketing because goods are sold directly by member to other person. The goods never distributed in traditional market or supermarket. The goods are exclusively produced by company for certain MLM company. The price of goods are distinguished into two group, price for member and price for non-member. Member take the profit from the difference between member and non-member price.
Beside work hard, to be succeeded in MLM, you have to choose the right MLM company. Many members of MLM failed even though they have hard work. MLM company is like vehicle that could bring you to reach the goal.
The most important thing in MLM company is the education system. Because you have to learn in order to get success. Check the MLM you will join whether they have education system. Whether they have schedule to train their member regularly? If yes, you can consider this is the good MLM company.
The second thing is products. Are their products have good quality? Products has an important role in the sale. How can you sell goods whose quality is bad? Third thing is marketing plan. You should know detail what will you get there. How much you can get and how is the scheme of profit sharing. When you think all three things above is appropriate for you, then you can join them.

You are right. I have read the books written by Robert T Kiyosaki. The book about direct marketing is series of Rich Dad and Poor Dad titled "Business School". The other book of Robert T Kiyosaki which I have read was Cash Flow Quadrant. Both books inspiring me.
Well, I am member of MLM but I don't know anything about Amway so I can't recommended Amway to you. If you have read the book Business School, you can decided by yourself whether Amway is right for you or not.
I am member of K-Link. Their products are healthy foods and goods. The headquarters is in Malaysia and it's available in many country. I choose this MLM because they really have education system called K-system. There are many level of learning and education held in various cities where there are stockist. The marketing plan is very promising. There are no limit for the earnings opportunity. And the last, their products are very diverse and good quality. Many people have been cured by K-Link products including me and my family.
If you ask me further about K-Link, I can tell you much. But if you ask me about Amway, I am sorry, I can't tell you anything.

Frankly, I am not interested in Amway network marketing. It is just like selling the insurance in my opinion. It can be very annoying. Besides, I don't really like the product of this brand. It is much more expensive. I can't buy it anywhere except from the network marketing people. I prefer to buy it from the supermarket. If there is something wrong, at least I can go to the supermarket to solve the problem.
I love China

Hi youless
As you say you don't like Amway.
reason no 1 it's much more expensive. This question also came into my mind. My friend told me that it's expensive but cheap in use. You have to use a little quantity
Reason no 2 - Amawy said that if you not satisfied with their product, they will refund all money even you use 20 % of the product

Well Ojha, I will give you some facts. You decide.
1. Though the products are of good quality, they are priced high.
2. It is not easy to build a team that keeps on buying month after month after month.
So, you need to have 3 times more members than what it would actually needed to
reach the top.
3. Even then, chances of members under you either discontinue or being stolen by
others and replanted somewhere under them.
4. Until you reach 15-18% level, most of your earnings (or all of it) will be made to
use on buying tapes, books, tickets for seminars etc. etc.
5. One thing for sure, if you have a HIGH HIGH INCOME GROUP of friends who are not
yet a member of the network, chances are there you will win.
6. Last but not least, SURE ONE CAN REACH THE HEIGHT. But, staying there is the
MILLION DOLLAR SECRET.

Oh Boy, not AmyWay again. I remember AmWay from years ago, it is very cultish. I was a member of AmyWay and I could honestly say that it was too much for me. It also had a very bad reputation in the sense that it was a cult, it was frowned upon. I left because everyone seemed way too nice and wanted you to become something that I was not. I was not a liar. I always believed in being honest. If I was selling something I had to believe in it. Although I have to say that some of the products they had were pretty good. But all in all, I did not believe in the company. AmyWay is not a company that can sell itself like a company like Apple. Now thats a company.

Amway is not new. It's been around for more than 30 years now. It sells products and you buy distributorships and stuff. I am not a big fan of network marketing. It's a lot like a ponzi scheme and I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole, so to speak.

In this economy NO ONE is going to be rich except those who already were. My mother used to sell Nutrilite years ago. THis is one of their products and it is very good. I have tried their dieting product. It was very expensive but I really saw it working on my body. I guess what I am trying to say is that Amway products are really good and if I were going to sign up to something like this I want to be apart of one that I believed in their products. One thing I dont agree with is the thing where they want you to be a member and pay for this.You pay them to be a member and pay for the product. I don't like that idea. And even if they let you buy the product for less it isn't that much less so you aren't saving much and they are making big money off of you. How could I try to sell something like that?

Since you are from India, I just want to share my views as an Indian.
In my opinion, Amway products are too much priced. (The reason may be some ingredients are imported and we bear the shipping cost.) Moreover, you have to find new customer every time, since the products last for a longer period.
The major drawback of Amway, as I found, is their system of resetting the achievements to zero every month. (You may be in 21% in this month, but you may fall down to 3% next month.) Compared to this aspect, there are other companies which accumulate the volume of business for arriving the percentage. (You won't fall down in terms of %)
If I were you, I would give a try with Vestige Marketing. (Though I am member of it, I am not marketing it. I just use their products on my own. And I am member of many MLM companies. Of them all, I find Vestige to be one of the companies that have good products, fair pricing and good business plan.)

Amway is wellknown. They follow the mlm system which is Multi Level Marketing. The Commission which these workers earn is built into the product and hence the product marketed by Amway is expensive. There are levels for these workers - the more workers you get to join the scheme the higher you go like a pyramid and so higher will be the commission.

Network marketing is definitely a great way of making it big time. But this requires big work, as well. Companies like Amway and Herbalife are 2 examples of genuine companies that use network marketing scheme. You would need money to invest in the products and time to get people under you. If you don't have the money, then you need to have more time to make up for the investment that you need to make it big in the company. It's a profession, pro. It's never a get quick scheme like what many network marketers would tell you.

Amway is a direct selling company, while some may say it's MLM, multi level marketing. Basically, it's not a desk bound job, but it requires u to do hard selling. Once u get your first buyer to your products, u can be sure of a consistent salary coming in. Working for Amway or such companies is just like being your own boss. U invest your money in products provided by amway at low prices, sell them at designated prices set by amway, in order to make profits for yourself.

I think joining amway is a good option if you have spare time and can go out frequently to attend various amway meeting or to meet people you know to convince them to join amway.
You can become an amway member to purchase their products as they are awesome in quality and give a good return to your money. At first you may find it costly but actually they do not make a compromise to quality.

Amway products are fine but working in for it in such a network marketing concept often lets you aim at your friends and relatives. That's obvious because you jus can't catch any stranger on the road! This often leads to a lot of wastage of time and may even lead to spoiling of relations. Suppose, someone joined when his friend asked and he couldn't be able to sell some products, he will always curse that guy for getting him involved in such stuff including the cash. Better not to get involved in this if you're earning fine.

Hi when I was in amway instead of asking people to join right away
what I did like the big store do is have some sample products for friends
to try, if the person start liking the product then you ask them would you like
to buy the product at retail price or wholesale it other way to get people
to sign up. this way the down line start and down the road the new person may start
selling by acdent how they let other friend try a product and got that person to sign up
this method can work with all most any mlm,networking company
