My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

Amway Ambot Mantra: Your J.O.B. Is A Pyramid
11 comments:
Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
I wonder why they even bother with the 10.00 commission on 300.00 spent. That's not even 5% commission lol. I remember being a ten yr old selling newspaper subscriptions with better commission and benefits (back when there's no internet).
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - you can probably make more money in a month than an Amway ambot by recycling your empty cans and bottles!
Deletehere are some current income/monies (august) spent for 3 people that are considered the big money makers in the group. I checked and asked what they buy a month - they all buy/sell 300-600 points a month.
Delete#1 - 7500 points - spent $1000+ on products made $850 loss of 150
#2 - 6000 points - spent $1200 on products made $1100 profit of 100
#3 - 4000 points - spent $1300 on products made $900 loss of 400
This does not include any meetings, cds, books, etc.
Why not just buy normal groceries and spend 400 a month - all would have a profit of 600-900 on groceries alone and not have to spend all their time running around
Hi Anonymous. Losing money in Amway sounds about right. I don't spend as much money on groceries and eating out at restaurants in a month as what we had to spend every month in Amway buying "groceries" aka shitty overpriced useless products that I never would have bought in the real world anyway.
DeleteAn Amway asshole would argue that I'm not buying from my own store. Well if the prices in my store are so high that no one else will buy from me and I'm (like they say in Amway) my own best customer, in fact the only customer, then the customer and proprietor are both fools! People who own their own business can set their prices and their hours. Unlike Amway's commissioned sales force.
Im surprised they are stupid enough to tell you those numbers. Because it looks rather embarrassing. Maybe that's why I see so many double x on sale for half price on eBay. They buy a grand and get half back.
DeleteYeah they're usually pretty cagey and say "business is going great". Maybe he asked about those numbers at different times so they Ambot couldn't figure out what he was up to. Say how much did you spend last month buying shitty overpriced Amway products. And then a couple of days later say hey how much money did you make in Amway last month. And if that's the way he did it, the amount earned in Amway last month is probably a lot higher than what was really earned so those figures are even more embarrassing!
DeleteI was at a meeting because I wanted to hear if they still sell the plan the same way as I have a friend contemplating joining and I wanted to be well armed with facts. So they paraded them after the meeting saying we made x last month (they said more than $1k, $900 and more than $800 - so my amounts are guesses but I rounded down to the nearest 50/100.) I knew their levels because I was told by my friend. I acted like I was interested and asked how much they buy, is there a lot to get etc, what their personal points were. They were more than happy to answer seeing as they thought I was interested and I ooohed and ahhhed over them. The one said 400 points used/the other two were between 500-600 so I guestimated their spending
DeleteAnonymous - that was good thinking getting different information at different times, but maybe their levels were exaggerated. They tend to do that in Amway! Makes no difference. Any way you look at it they're losing money and you haven't even factored in the losses from investing in the Amway tool scam.
DeleteFunny thing he posted those numbers. I use to bug a platinum about going to eat sushi. He asked me while being a jerk. So you can eat out once a month or twice like this? Told him actually I can eat out like this everyday if I choose to lol. That seems to really piss him off. Because I see pics he sends me of out of town meetings and he has tons of product pics on Facebook. Said to him I can afford to since I'm not buying overpriced products and traveling to Alberta for feds. I live 10 mins from Costco and a few mins from the dollar store. Can't imagine ever sending a grand on products. Usually I cook my own meals. But like to invite the Ambot leader to expensive restaurants I know he can't afford. Since they bug us with their shtty deal also.
DeleteDoesn't matter if they say your job is a pyramid. At least some jobs have medical benefits, pays bills,and puts food on the table. With Amway i don't even think majority get 10.00 a month. Didn't know many people who can afford 300 in crappy Amway products a month.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Having a decent paying job with benefits is a way better decision than being a commissioned salesperson for Amway.
