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!

Ambot Desperately Wanted Amway Success
My husband wanted to succeed at this Amway business, even though the odds - with over a 99% failure rate - were stacked against him that he wouldn’t. More than becoming financially secure, success in Amway would mean basking in the bliss from the Amway cult leaders that he adored so much.
All over the Internet are blogs and forums from former Amway IBO’s who say much of the same thing. They worked hard and put a lot of time and effort into building an Amway business and it didn’t pan out. Also on the Internet you will see plenty of posts from current IBO’s who parrot their upline and said the reason these people didn’t sponsor anyone is because they didn’t work hard enough or didn’t put in the effort.
Sure there are IBO’s out there who signed up due to pressure from friends or family. They paid their $150, got their start up kit, and that was the extent of their Amway involvement. Those people probably had no intention of putting in any work, just wanted to help out the person who hounded them into signing up.
I’d say my Ambot worked hard and put in plenty of effort to build an Amway business. He spent hours glued to the computer taking the Amway university program. He spent hours studying the Amway literature and product magazines. He memorized everything and could answer questions about the plan or products and knew as much or more than the fucking assholes in his Amway upline. He spent hours listening to tapes and reading books that his upline pressured him to buy. He spent many hours each week hounding prospects to come to meetings. He went to every Amway cult meeting, rally, seminar, and major function. Those meetings ate up at least 50 hours a month and if a major function out of state for the weekend was in there, easily over 100 hours a month attending Amway meetings including travelling to them.
Let’s not forget the hours each week he spent talking on the phone and dealing with the endless text messages with the fucking assholes in the Amway upline.
Ambot easily doubled, if not tripled, Amway’s estimate of 10 to 15 hours per week once all the meetings, listening to tapes, and studying Amway is added up.
Ambot put in plenty of time and effort and his upline still rode his ass accusing him of not working hard enough. He was told the reason he wasn’t succeeding at the Amway business was because he was lazy and not trying hard enough.
Let’s see. Someone investing at least 100 hours a month into any project is not a lazy person. They are on a mission and determined to succeed and accomplish their goal even when the odds are stacked against them, like Amway’s success rate is a fraction of less than 1%.
What kind of motivation techniques is the upline using accusing people of being lazy, not trying, not working hard enough? This is clearly more than my Ambot’s upline because so many former IBO’s have the same story that their upline (not related to ours) said the exact same thing.
And this fucking Amway bullshit is still being taught today judging by all the Amway assholes who leave comments here screeching that we didn’t work hard enough, we’re lazy, and we didn’t put enough effort in. But not a single one of these Amway motherfuckers will define what is working hard. Sure in the real world everyone has different definitions of thinking they’re working hard but there is probably a tangible line. Not a single Amway motherfucker can answer that question when it comes to working hard enough in Amway.
Fuck you Amway and fuck all your scammy little Ambots!
There are better ways to motivate people.
Oh I forget. Upline is not there to motivate. They are there to brainwash. Like the good cult leaders they have been trained to be, they scold, they mock, they punish, they blame. Even more than wanting to succeed at an Amway business, the followers want to please their cult leader. They try harder, they put in more effort. They are scolded and belittled time after time when they don’t get results, specifically sponsoring new IBO’s.
Fortunately, many IBO’s get tired of this degrading treatment and quit “the business”. Sadly not always before some major financial and emotional damage has been done.
And one more time from marriedtoanambot let’s just send another big old FUCK YOU out to Amway Scamway and their scammer army of Ambots.

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. There's over 1000 spam comments left here each month. We don't check them. We just delete them. If your comment landed in spam - sucks to be you!
Anna, there seems to be some kind of "hero worship" involved in the relationship of an Amway IBO to his up-line. If we think of somebody as our hero, then we will put up with all kinds of lies and abuse from them.
ReplyDeleteWhat causes hero worship? As far as I can see, it's one of the following:
1) You admire what the person has accomplished.
2) You are grateful to the person for helping you.
3) You think that the person is superior to you in some important way.
4) You have developed some sort of romantic attachment to the person.
5) You believe that the person has something very important to give you or teach you.
I don't see how any of these things could have been the case with your husband and the stupid schmuck who was his up-line, or with your fat-assed lying Platinum. So why would he look upon these guys as heroic? Consider:
1) They never really accomplished anything.
2) They never really helped him.
3) They certainly weren't superior to him.
4) They didn't have a romantic relationship with him.
5) They never gave him anything, or taught him anything useful.
So what's up here? Why was he mesmerized by these jerks?
Hey Anonymous - that's some pretty good insight! OK here's where the brainwashing by the Amway cult comes in.
Delete1) Ambot believed those lying scammers that they've accomplished getting bazillions of dollars in residual income flowing in every month from Amway.
2) Ambot was brainwashed to believe those motherfuckers in the Amway upline were "helping" him to achieve the same riches.
3) The fucking assholes in the Amway upline always make it known that they're superior to the Ambots further down the pyramid. And all Amway Ambots believe they're superior to the rest of the world who aren't in the Amway cult.
4) Yeah OK I'll go with you on that one - doesn't apply LOL!
5) Definitely brainwashed to believe the fucking assholes in the Amway upline had this knowledge that they would share with the chosen few. The secret knowledge club that Ambot was dying to belong to.
Why was he mesmerized by those Amway jerks? I've been trying to figure that out for years.
Greetings Anna, various folk. So my friends are trying to do this Amway thing. Wait, I said that wrong. My friends are getting scammed by Amway and have asked me to help support them by buying some stuff. I'm afraid to do that because it might encourage them to stay in longer. You always want to help your friends but who wants to help your friends get scammed? I'm new to watching my friends get dragged down in a scam, but I don't actually want anything from Amway. I just don't think I should do it. Any thoughts? Be a good friend and buy some stuff? But wouldn't that enable the scammers?
ReplyDeleteHi Sotn. Yeah you rephrased that right. Your friends are getting scammed by Amway.
DeleteNo you don’t want to be an enabler. It gives your friends false hope if they make a sale that they can really succeed in Scamway. When all it is are pity purchases from friends and family who will never buy again due to the low quality and high price.
Get ready for your friends to insult you for not “supporting their business”.
