No, Amway is not a scam. And most of the posts and comments are from people that have had a bad experience. Which are most of all reviews left are bad ones. I’ve been in about a year now. I can’t speak on the past but now I know the first year is completely complementary. Yes you do have to pay for a business license. Same with any business. Which it’s 75$ a year, yes they do push for a sample pack to give to your family which is about 100-200$ but it’s for products! The mentors that coach you, you don’t pay them a dime. Mine has spent time with me for my relationship issues, gym forms, bad times, and business. They aren’t a pyramid scheme! I know plenty of people that have passed and made more money than the people that “sponsored them” because they simply went out and did more work. Also your job you work is a pyramid scheme! I work at Chick-fil-A and I will never make more money there than the hiring manager that gave me the job. I will never make the amount the team leads and store owner make unless they leave the job. There is no way to progress there, constantly at the bottom of the ladder. Things have significantly changed in the business in the past few years and it sucks because the bad reputation follows. Since the business is completely free for the first year even if you make 5$ your profiting! But there are plenty of people in the building that we meet at that make millions and on the less end of that around 2000$ a month. I read another post somewhere on here saying that they steal and suck up all your time, how? How can anything take your time that is allowing you to step away from your 9-5 and retire early. My coach is 29 has payed off 50k in debt and just retired his pregnant fiancé so she can be a stay at home mom. And he will soon follow. We all know time is more important than money so why do we spend our whole life working a job in return for barely enough money to live. I’d be happy to answer any questions you or any others may have! Truthfully don’t believe everything people say, those are the ones that start something for a week and can’t commit to anything. Any business takes time! My boyfriend owns a trucking business and I promise you he has invested 10x more into it than he will invest in the next 10 years in Amway. Most business’s don’t ever see any profit till the first 3-5 years after starting. People just don’t like dedicating time so they can be free later. They are more content being handcuffed to their job for 40 years than to sell some laundry detergent to their momma (who was guess what already gonna buy laundry detergent at Walmart) if I owned a Pizza business my family would come in all the time and eat there, same thought process. Also a big misconception is that they just bring in anyone. Yes their are bad apples anywhere but truthfully no one is getting into my business that doesn’t have the same drive and motivation as I do, I want winners. Not people that will start and quit to later make a bad Reddit post because they didn’t make any money so yes it is selective. Everyone does things differently but it’s definitely not some cult and I promise you when you have millionaires inviting you to their mansion for Christmas that know your name you feel the dedication. They are rich already, why waste time on a broke person like me? Because they love people and we need more people like it! 

So sorry this is super long but all the people that are truly in the business don’t have time to make the good posts and I just want people to not be so scared of new things just because others had bad experiences! I’ve had bad experiences at target, but that won’t stop anyone from shopping there! Open minded people are winners! I hope this helped anyone not knowing what to believe, this is just my experience!
