Amway Distributor - Still a Viable Option?

Is being an Amway distributor still a viable way to earn a living? With over 50 years of being in business, there sometimes seems to be very few people in North America that haven't been pitched at least once by this company. Everyone has at least heard of Amway. Amway also uses a relatively outdated pay structure. With binary and forced matrix payment plans, there seems to be little incentive for the average person to join a prehistoric compensation plan. Amway makes it very hard for the beginner to make money immediately, where as newer plans can allow the average person to make money in their first few weeks. Amway also carries a full line of products, which is great in some respects but spending hundreds of dollars for a few points hardly makes sense.

So is there any positive to becoming an Amway distributor? You bet there is. You have a long standing company that is very financially stable. You can go to bed at night with no worries that you might wake up having to start at scratch. I have seen that happen to several network marketers. Also, you can claim to be a part of the company that has made more millionaires than any other. That can be huge leverage. Amway is also still growing in leaps and bounds in other countries, particularly people I talk to in the Ukraine tend to love this business. Lastly, counteracting a negative from earlier, you can buy everything from Amway. If your down line and you can really take advantage of redirecting your spending you can literally buy almost everything from yourself. This is a huge advantage if you can take advantage of it.

All things considered, I personally do not recommend becoming an Amway distributor for most people. If you have a strong ability to tap into its global capacity it becomes a much better business. The hardest thing about being in Amway is that most people can't earn checks quickly, and when they do it is usually a few dollars to start. Your down line must have long term vision to deal with the long build up to making money. With newer compensation plans the least motivated of my downline will at least earn a check within a few weeks. Yet you certainly can make Amway work with the right marketing system.

To fully take advantage of Amway you will want to tap into the international market. If you can find a way to take advantage of this you can explode your business, particularly in Australia, Ukraine and Japan. They love network marketing in these countries and take full advantage of the opportunities that most Americans tend to ignore. They are too busy living the American dream to realize that network marketing is the most viable option to the American dream, so keep that in mind. Any Amway distributor can take advantage of this trend through the internet though.
