My childhood friend has been pressuring me to attend Amway meetings for the past 3 months. Every time we hang out, the conversation turns to "the business opportunity." I did some research and found that Amway paid $56 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. But then I also see people who claim to make good money. What is the truth? Has anyone here actually made money with Amway, or is it just the people at the top who benefit? I want honest answers, not recruitment pitches.

This is really helpful. Do you have a link to the income disclosure statement you mentioned? I have been trying to find it for my company but they make it surprisingly hard to locate.
I think you are painting with too broad a brush. Not all MLM companies are the same. I have been with my company for 7 years and earn a consistent $4,000 per month. The key is finding a company with products people actually want to buy.
I think the industry is going through a necessary evolution. Companies that survive will be the ones that shift toward genuine customer acquisition, transparent income disclosures, and products that can compete on merit without the MLM price premium. The old model of recruit-recruit-recruit is dying.
Great breakdown of the compensation plan. One question - when you say you earn 5% on your first level, is that 5% of wholesale or retail price? Because that distinction makes a huge difference in actual dollar amounts.
Can you share which company you are with? I am researching several options and would love to compare notes. Also, what does your monthly autoship actually cost and what products do you get?
