Jon I've come across lots of people who have been involved with Amway including my brother. The basic idea sounds fine . You start selling products to friends and family and you get a commission and you get your own purchases at discounts. Then you get asked if you want to be an organiser and recruit other people to do the selling and you get a chunk of their action too. Then you get asked to ask your people if the want to be organisers and more bucks for everyone 'cause your now a super regional area overlord and so it goes on. Theoretically fine but in pracice if it were that easy there'd be a lot more wealthy people out there. It's really just a form of pyramid selling which looks attractive at first but gets more difficult as you run out of immediate family and friend to induce into it. Also you need to sell loadsa stuff to make a living. may be a good way to earn a bit of pin money but a good career move it ain't.
