hi mylot friends,
I heard about Am-way several years back itself and some of my friends are brought the stocks by becoming the member. Due to heavy joining fee nearly 100 dollars on those days I do not show any interest in Am-way. Now a days all nutritional,cosmetic products are rates grown in the market, but how far their quality according the standards I do not know. Now when comparing the am-ways products at present is competitive for regular cosmetic and nutritional products in the market. Any how we know the quality of Am-way products, now there is no joining fee in Am-way as member. So I have joined in Am-way. Please share your experience with products and position of present Am-way

I had thought about joining them myself about 5 years ago. but here in the USA it was about $300 to join. I just went over to their site and now it's only $62 to join. Amway was one of the first direct marketing companies. Back in 1957 if i am not mistaken. So to know they are still around and doing well is awesome. I personally am with Herbalife and I love it so much!!! It has changed my life

yes I am from America and they charge a fee, but a much smaller one then they use too. I wish you all the best on your new business. Remember, the only way to be truly successful in Network Marketing is to introduce others to the business. Being that it's free to join in your country, it should be easy.

HI Momma,
Thanks for the response, so you are from US. Now the Amway is reduced the joining fee in US and they have waived in India, so more people show interest in joining and developing the sales of the products for their benefit. So my first purchase will be next month and I will complete my target of 100 dollars purchase within 60 days,have a nice day.

I haven't used Amway products personally, but I have heard good reviews about it. One of my dad's client uses some products of Amway. He was saying that the toothpaste costs around Rs 300, but it cures bad breath and also it lasts for around 2 and a half month. So the price was worth its benefits. Those who use Amway products become their loyal customers so I guess if you are trying hands at selling their products I am sure you will find success.
Take care!

It is doing well so far, making a lot of money since the inception of the company, in the beginning, the company make money from member fees and selling to the public at exhorbitant price on their household products, now they can waive the membership fee, though the company also require all their members and sales associates to be part of the pyramid scheme where the highest member make the most for doing nothing except in charge of recruit more and more people to join the company sales force from bottom up. Right! you can't buy Amway product from the store except through individual sales person or personal sales through friend or family member, there is no store or shop where you can shop for Amway products like the rest of the household product you commonly found in the store. Since the day of inception, they managed to expand into wider product lines other than just household goods.

Hi Lampar,
Thanks for the response, the availability of the Amway products are limited within the persons and or in their stores. They were not publicly sold and only available at some people and places only. Now a days the cosmetics and nutritional products rates are highly priced in the market, so there is not competition for am-way products. Have a nice day.

Amway is still running good. Because their products are of outstanding quality, people who used it once stick with it.
We are using their SA-8 for washing our clothes. The cost is 550 INR, but it lasts for nearly 5 to 6 months. The detergent powder consumption for 5 months comes around 700 INR for our family. So, though people think "Amway products are costly", it's not really that much costly.
However, I'm not trying to make money with Amway. I've found an equally good company, but Indian. (It's the only company that started in India and spread international. Their products are fantastic and their compensation plan is very good. I will discuss it via PM.) I've seen many international companies coming to India, but I'm little proud that this Indian company started spreading international.

Hi Venkataramanan,
Thanks for the response about Amway, after long time I am seeing you in my discussion. Yes I know the quality of the product and due to price rise in India the cosmetics and nutritional products are at abnormal prices, so now Amway products can compete with local products in price with more quality. I am waiting for your pm have a nice day.

Though the products of Amway are good in quality, I personally feel that their compensation plan is very old style. Resetting the volume every month, charging renewal every year etc. is way old trend.
Many companies have started giving away Lifetime membership, accumulative business volume etc. Apart from this, if the products are good, that would be a great success.
In that aspect, as far as I've observed the compensation plan of Vestige Marketing is excellent. The start up cost is low, membership is lifetime, business volume carried over every month, the products are effective and they are competitive to market price too.

Yugasini:
First you must have belief in their product. Next you must have marketing tactics. Third you must be willing to make more and more money and have a need for that. fourth you must have physique that can help you running here and there and willingness to talk over phone or in person and convince people. fifty you must be willing to face a No from majority of people.
If you have satisfied all the abvoe five conditions -- then start with full energy and enthusiasm coupled with hope. wish you success.
I know many people have been benefitted by joing amway. yes they made a lot of money out of this by taking other new members.

Hi Ravisivan,
Thanks for the response,to help a poor girl I have joined in Amway under her. Now my thinking was changed now I wish make it my career. I hope that I may earn money in Amway,because now a days minimum rate of the cheap soap also sell at the rate of rupees 20, so spending 30 rupees for cream soap is better. So first I can start using Amway products with my family, have a nice day.

Hi yugasini! I was also encouraged by a friend to join amway several years ago but I was not able because of the high joining fee. It's good to know that joining amway now is free. Perhaps I could reconsider it also.
