That’s what you’ll be paying if you’re an Amway loser who has signed up with World Wide Dream Builders.
Technically $49.95 a month. I should get my numbers right before some brainwashed ambot shows up here screaming about the nickel discrepancy!
Ambots would argue for that reasonable price its a very good deal because you also have access to other shit that the World Wide Destructive Bastards has to flog. That would be access to view upcoming functions and getting a small discount on buying motivational CD’s and books. Well whoopdeedo!
Mostly its for a portal web page to Amway products for sale. The upline cult leaders justify the cost by saying that someone has done all the work to create the web page and the cult followers have a template where they can fill out their own contact information and sob story and they’ll receive a commission from anyone purchasing Amway products. Ha! Like that’ll ever happen!
Its like any other template. Creating it may be the biggest cost for the company but renting thousands of web templates each month to brainwashed ambots the original cost has paid for itself a million fold or more by now. Cash cow!
The day Ambot and I signed up with Amway his upline was riding his ass about signing up (and paying) WWDB and getting his web page going. Wisely going to Ambot for these extra funds because I would have rather saved our money.
We had to purchase a domain name (cha ching!) for I think about $10 a year and then a redirect code to the Amway WWDB portal to our personalized page. How did we personalize it? I don’t remember! We could choose a theme like sports or nutrition or whatever and have some of those Amway products staring you in the face when you went to the web page. Yicky!
The web page was a company that sold domain names. I don’t think it was affiliated with Amway in any way. Too bad for them. That would be extra money in the cult leader’s pockets.
There are sites all over the Internet where people can create their own web pages for free and web hosting packages for under $10/month. You’d think one of those would be good enough to point potential customers in the direction of Amway. Nope. Gotta fork over the $50/month to the World Wide Destructive Bastards to get a professionally designed Amway web page.
Amway tool scam! Gotta make those upline bastards richer!
The WWDB insistence that every IBO had to have a web-page started in the 1990s, when computer use was taking off like a rocket, and looked like the great wave of the future. There would be no more ordinary in-person retail sales, so the only option left was to sell your Amway crap via a web-page.
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to anyone that if every IBO had a personal web-page, the competition for retail sales would be intense. If the customer could buy the Amway products on-line from anybody, what difference did it make which website he went to? It was all the same stuff, at all the same basic price.
Of course Anna is right -- the real reason for pushing websites on IBOs was purely to create another source of monthly fees for up-line. Fifty bucks a month is outrageous, especially for something that is essentially useless.
The WWDB website is a perfect laboratory specimen of how Amway works: First, drum up mindless enthusiasm in down-line ("You GOTTA have a web-site! It's the wave of the future!"). And then milk the suckers for a perpetual monthly fee.
Anonymous - in addition to Amway selling overpriced shitty products that normal consumers don't want to buy the other problem is oversaturation of Amway sales reps. Companies that sell popular products like Coca Cola aren't going to have sales reps in overlapping territories. I mean who wants to be a sales rep servicing a community where there's 100 other sales reps in the same territory. There's not enough business for everyone to make money. And that's selling a product that people actually want to buy. It's the same as the Internet. If there are thousands of people with websites all selling the same product they've oversaturated the marketplace. It's just common business sense. Something that brainwashed Amway Ambots lack. The only people making money off Amway websites are the cult leaders who sold the access to the Ambots in their downline. There's only room at the top of the pyramid for a few to profit off the Amway tool scam.
DeleteAnd another Rip Off is CommuniKate. When I was "Amway involved" several years ago it was 50 dollars per month. Did you know that the money from that service goes to the upline? They never tell you this. It is so deceptive.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Communikate is part of the Amway tool scam. A former employee came here to tell us that th Diamonds make huge profit from it. Amway's owners are either co-owners or they loaned money to whoever started up Communikate - I don't recall which now. Been a long time since I read that article. It's only natural that the lenders wanted to get their money repaid so having their cult leaders force the Ambots to pay for this useless service was a sure way they'd get their money back.
DeleteThe same can't be said for all of us who've lost thousands or tens of thousands to ScAmway.
What's amazing is that IBOs who aren't making ANY sales to non-Amway customers are willing to keep on paying $50 a month (that's $600 per year), when the website doesn't bring in a dime of money to them!
ReplyDeleteIf these IBOs only self-consume Amway stuff, they certainly don't need a website as some kind of tool for sales. It's just a meaningless ornament, like those Amway business cards to help you pretend that you actually own a business. Or like CommuniKate, which let's you pretend that you actually have a secretary or business assistant.
Everything in Amway is fake. It's all just a childish way of pretending that you are a "success."
Anonymous - Ambots are brainwashed with that old slogan that you have to spend money to make money so they keep buying shit from the Amway tool scam.
DeleteToo bad they weren't taught to keep a profit and loss statement and no when to stop throwing good money after bad.
Yup there's a lot of pretending that goes on inside the Amway cult inside the fantasy world of make belief that they're big shot business owners.
