Quixtar is a good business!
Its not a "GET RICH FAST" business, it's just like every other business! Trust me..

Being in quixtar, it gave me alot of knowlege about business! Learn how to be postive and always think postive... yes or no its okay! yes, great! no, great..
Its good

Alyssa WA,

I'm sorry but you are way off. Quixtar is not like any other business. Selling products is not the focus like most businesses, therefore the money is coming out of the pockets of the people in the business.

Hard work is often not rewarded in this business because one of the key elements in succeeding is to sponsor people, which is very difficult.

Some people think it's get rich quick. Yes, but how do they get that impression? Isn't it because it was presented to them in that manner?

Your upline benefits whether you do well or not.
Even more so if you are attending seminars.

CEO's get a bigger paycheck, yes, but even the lowest man on the totem pole get paid in the corporate world. In quixtar, the lowest people often lose money, which in turn goes to the upline. Very different than what you describe.

Yes, a diamond probably worked very hard at deceiving people, you see that's how most people recruit and retain downline. You are not guaranteed anyth... read more »

I think its like any other business.
You have to work hard to get anywhere in life. Some people misunderstand and assume that this is just an easy quick buck, and then they realize they have to actually work first. Cause from what I've heard these people that try and work hard make a ton, and the people that no longer do it weren't putting much effort into it.

And yes your up-line benefits when you do well and when you bring more people in, but is that any different from any other job? Don't big CEOs get a bigger paycheck than the little guys on bottom working?

How did that CEO get there, he/she probably started out as one of those little guys, worked their way up.

Seems like its the same here. You have to work hard, and if you do your guaranteed to move up.

I agree with Cecilia, this IS a cult. I went to a Quixtar workshop last night and they could smell the new blood in the air. Lots of smiling faces, lots of hand shaking and NO questions were really answered, just diverted.
This is a pryamid company, don't forget that. Sure it may work if you know how to manipulate people into into buying only Quixtar products online, but what about the things you need now? Can you really afford to wait a week or two for something you just ran out of and use everyday (hey things happen)?
They say it is not a pryamid, but come on, who are they kidding, they get you, you get people, people get people, and so on.......the pryamid grows and grows (but the pyramid is made from the top down, and if you ask me, that doesn't make for a very successfull structure)
Save you time, save your money, save your soul, do not get involved unless you want to MAKE your freinds and family buy ONLY the products that this website offers (which by the way, I have seen ... read more »

I found this gem recently:

(Dave's blog)

I recently saw some documentary of a woman who was a victim of domestic violence and she expressed some thoughts that are parallel to the IBO mindset. Let me elaborate.

She said maybe things would be different if only she had acted differently. That perhaps she deserved her fate, that she was in fact responsible for the situation she was in. That if she hangs in there, he will change. Isolation from family and friends.

It's eerily similar to what if I had shown a few more plans, I didn't do enough to succeed in Quixtar. I didn't work hard enough, it's my fault. If I never quit, I will eventually make it.
Isolation from people who are negative about quixtar.

These similarities, when you stop and really give thought to it, is how crafty or scary, the psychology behind what some quixtar leaders teach their downline. Your free to pass comments here, but the revelation I just received is sobering.

I have two brothers and 60 friends that used to be diamond distributors and Amway stole their business after 35 years. Amway also pirated their line of sponsorship! They were not allowed by law to talk to any of their group! If you folks want to shitcan your life so the Amway company can steal it then have at it, but you would be much more successful selling ice to esquimos. Amway is dead and little boy Devos killed it. I think he lives in France now.

Jarrett, IBO's can't chill. For many, their upline has "warned" them about the negative broke losers out on the world who will criticize quixtar so they are doing their duty by defending their business. They are also taught that the facts don't matter so they are successful even if they are spending more money on tapes than they are taking in by selling stuff.

Listen, someone who is trying to point out obvious facts has nothing to gain. Your uplines on the other hand, have much to gain if you buy stuff, and purchase tapes and functions, and better yet, bring in more people to join the business. This is why the uplines will tell you to avoid negative and whatnot - so that you don't accidently discover things abuot quixtar that they don't want you to know about.

If you knew what really went on with your upline, you'd understand, but you'll have to find out the hard way unless you take the time to due your own reasearch and do the math about this business.

Mary Ann,

Yes, bonuses are paid by quixtar. Now where does quixtar get the money to pay your bonuses? That's right, you pay "extra" for an item and quixtar returns it to you as a "bonus" and they call this a business opportunity.

Whereas Walmart simply charges less, far less than quixtar because they squeeze the manufacturer for a low price in return for volume purchase.

I have yet to see a bonafide price comparison where anyone actually saves money buyin stuff from Quixtar over walmart.

Got this from another blog:

More significantly, according to the website, an independent researcher (Global Insight), Walmart allows the average American family to save $2500 a year - REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY SHOP.

I understand why so many people are skeptical of opportunities that are out there. There are many scams. However, I get tired of so many people being so bitter and nasty toward all opportunites whether they know what they are talking about or not. Get a life people! You are only angry because there is no such thing as fast and easy money. You have to work to make money. It's as simple as that! How you work is up to each individual and each opportunity offers something different. Different things work for different people. Go do something positive with your life! Quixtar is legitimate. Is it easy? NO. But legitimate. And as for the cds and meetings, they are wonderful! Brainwashing? Please. Why is it wrong to make people feel good about themselves and what they are doing? I am speaking from experience. I tried Quixtar. I loved it but I have a family and a full time job and couldn't get myself to jump in and do it whole hearted which is what it takes. However, I saw ... read more »

and going to the meetings,i work so hard for 3 years
left my 7 year old son, i regreted for the rest of my life.
they use the people that you really love to make you work for nothing, and you spend $300 a month to make $8.00 check //the products prices are crasy
a few items and i spend $300.00 they make you think that people that don't get in the buiss are negative and loosers, the worst expirience i ever had!

First, the person who wrote this does not know about the company. The money paid (bonus) is not paid to you by the sponsor, the one who helped you get into the business; it is paid by the company. I have been in the business for many years. I do this primarily to purchase products for myself. And if you are to criticize that, let me ask you this question. If you own a busines (let's say a Texaco Station) would you buy from an Exxon Mobil? I know that Quixtar (Amway) is an honest company and sees to it that you are paid what is owed you. There was even a check written for l cent. Before you print stuff that is not correct, it would help if you went on line to the information or call the company. They will be very happy to give you any information you need.

Why try to harm a company whose ethics are very high and expect its IBOs to act accordingly.

You do other people an injustice by writing stuff that may prevent a person who wants to do a small business on the side and pu... read more »

Joe from Texas says: I believe you mean FTC. And guess what, the FTC doesn't require you to tell people anything. The only requirement is to tell people the truth.

When you lie about income, then it's in violation of the FTC rules, and Amway was fined for exaggerated income claims in the past.

Your upline diamonds made a million? You have proof of that or is that what you heard on a tape?

Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors

Quote:
Amway distributors tout their business as "the best business opportunity in the world." Yet of the five million or so Americans who've been involved over its 40 year history, fewer than 1% have made a profit, and fewer than one-tenth of one percent have established the large incomes that they claim are achievable by all.

Quote:
This book is a must-read for anyone whos ever been involved in Amway, or has suffered the pain of watching loved ones change their personalities and lose their money to the deceptions of an Amway Motivational Organization. "Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors" picks up where "Amway: The Cult of Free Enterprise" and "Fake It Til You Make It!" left off.

Couple of points. Joe from Nebraska, what does the FDIC have to do with Quixtar? (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation)

Jen, good for you. Did you want to join alcohlics anonymous or did you start a business?

Dave, you sound just like the hoard of new Quixtar IBO's who claim to be making money, yet offer no proof and I would even bet you are working your job now while your quixtar business is losing money month after month. WHy do yuo feel it important to put down people who don't join your business cult?

I would be retired with millions if I had a buck for each message like yours that has been posted over the years.

Its funny the economy is so bad try getting a job now how about the stock market plunging this is the best business in the world costs practially nothing to join and i buy pretty much the same things everyone else does. Keep working in your job is it safe hmm called prisoner of work keep working for someone see where you end up its CALLED THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE LOL this business i am so gald i have finally after 4 years which actually was way too long have my 3k a month guaranteed residual income have to prove nothing to no one because really the only person who knows how successful you are is yourself and i can truly say not even close to being rich but it beats working for anyone

You know I just left my 1st function in NC and I was able to experience one of the most amazing events of my life..I mean red carpet and all. I was introduced to this a while ago and to be honest I did not believe in it. After time and going to a few of the open meetings I realized that set aside the possible money that I could be making the people were just amazing. Life is so short and we all at some point have been negative I mean we are human...but, even when I have had my moments of being like that my support team has been around to help me up. Even before I became an IBO. So just be thankful that you have been given a chance to meet wonderful and caring people who yes may benefit from you, but don't really care if they do or not. They are there to be your friend and help you. You never know who may change there mind or who you may have help save. My love saved me and introduced me to this business.

Joe Schmo guy, they really got you huh? Its a common similarity that every person in the "business" talks the same way. They all say, next march, or next year, or next month etc. Always future tense when referring to income. You know why? Cause its never gonna happen. Nope, its not. They can never prove it. Show me the money!!! I know, you're upset cause you can't. Keep chasing that shadow their pal, im sure one day you'll look back and see what an incredible waste of time it all was. And money. Perhaps by grace of God, some of your old friends that decided not to join the cult will take you back. And at that point, maybe they will hire you too.

Wow!!! I cannot believe how naive some of you people are. Quixtar is quite possibly the best thing that has ever happened in the history of United States. Okay, that's goin to the extreme, but I am really starting to believe that. Quixtar basically allows you to do this: Instead of getting drunk every night and screwin off in college for four years, then working for the next fifty years of your life after college, Quixtar allows you to reverse that and work hard for four years in college with some fun, then do whatever the hell you want for the next fifty. It's called residual income!!! I just started college and will be at 7500 PV by next March. That means I'll be making $45,000 a year, no, wait did I forget to add the $20,000 dollar yearly bonus Quixtar gives out to people who reach 7500 PV and maintain it for a year? Well darn, I guess I did, so I guess that means by the end of my sophmore year in college I'll be making AT LEAST $65,000 a year. So that means if I would do nothing my... read more »

I don't know much about the program but my comment is about the 'gifts' in the Ribbon The Gift of Choice. We received one of the Elite cards as a gift. Found out that the gift card was $300. The gifts offered are so cheap, some of which you can buy at Target for less than $50. We tried redeeming the card for the $300, cash, but in order to do that you have to go back to the gift-giver and they need to return the card for you. That would be just plain rude on our part so I guess we'll have to choose a gift from the cheap assortment that's offered. Maybe, we can sell the card on eBay!?

Whoever says they made money from this, prove it by posting a jpeg of the check you received from them. It's a scam and if it wasn't, the mainstream media would be covering it. I attended several "cult like" meetings and had many questions which were never answered. I attended another meeting at someone's house only to watch a grown man try and push this cleaning product on us by polishing pennies.

Mickie, it's all good if you joined just to sell stuff and make a few bucks. But with Quixtar prices, wouldn't it be just as well to buy your stuff from Walmart at half the prices instead of overpaying and then getting back $8? Do a serious price comparison and you'll be shocked.

Wowsers! I just read many comments from both sides. This blog is filled with negativity and name calling. My question is, Is it really worth it?
Just like with anything else there's going to be positive and negative thoughts for and against, Quixtar/Amway Global, in this case.
It works for some and not for others. It seems the more ambitious a person is/becomes the better it works for him/her.
Yes, I am an IBO. No, I didn't come into the business to make millions of dollars. I just came into the business to supplement my income. Yeah, I'm going to be honest, I been in business a couple years, Do I make a lot of money? Not a tremendous amount by today's standards. I do supplement my salary though.
I'll also say this. At my first mtg. I was told my first check would be about $7. They lied, it was $8 and some odd cents. I was informed that the average check per month is $105 per IBOship. I was told about "Kate", educational materials, and the website, I was informed that... read more »

Matthew, first off, thanks for working in the military and helping to protect our freedoms.

Regards to quixtar, you said you are working your business 2 hours per week to earn a few extra bucks, if I understood you correctly. If that was accurate, I don't think the critics of the business are talkig about you. The "scam" part os tricking people into joining, and getting people to quit college to join quixtar, and to give them false hope of retiring at age 26, not having a job, and walking the beaches of the world. It's just not gonna happen except for a very rare few people. Yet it is promoted as being the norm.

I am an IBO. Since some of you non-IBOs seem to think that we all are too high on our pedestals, and that we are all saying the same thing over and over, let me try a different approach. I am a newly registered IBO. I am also a member of the armed forces, US Navy to be exact. I will tell you straight up that no, I am not earning a kagillion dollars or whatnot. But I AM earning another paycheck along with my lousy government check. For what? Putting like 2 hours of work into my business a week. In other words, I am earning some extra money without having to work another job so I can still excel at my military career. So why shoot holes in something that is working for people? Maybe it doesn't work for YOU, but that doesn't mean it is a scam. To call it one just so people can get people into whatever money-maker you are participating online is... Well... Kind of low.

I have read a lot of your posts on this subject, starting with the first one, but only had the time to make it halfway thru. I'm foreign so my market might work a bit differently than yours, but I want to answer some of the basic concerns that keep coming up: 1)"Pyramid Scheme": my sponsor has 3 diamonds in his downline and yet, he is still an emerald. Your growth is only limited by the work you put into it. 2)"IBO's do all the purchasing": 20% of my purchases have been for personal use (because I like the products) the rest I sell and make fast money and I also get a commission for the money spent. 3)"It ends your relatinships": if your marriage is so weak that you cannot put up with your spouse puting in an extra couple of hours of work that will pay off later on then you shouldn't be pointing the finger at the business. 4)"They don't let you advertise or display at stores": this is a direct marketing business model.

Funny how all these fired up IBO's all think they have conquered the world and the rest of us are "losers". I have yet to see a single IBO back up their claims about being free or making the kind of income they claim. I can tell Jack's story is full of holes.

Even if you achieve a diamond income, which is $146,000, all you will have achieved is a middle class lifestyle after paying medical insurance, investing some for retirement, monthly bills. And you think you ar "free", you are not. People are quitting quixtar every day, You have to work hard to keep replacing people who quit and I bet many diamonds are in debt trying to show a fabulous diamond lifestyle.

I challenge anyone here to do the math. Take an average diamond income, subtract income taxes, medical insurance and other monthly obligations, etc. What you will see is a very middle class income and lifestyle. Not saying that is a bad thing, but with all the effort involved, having a job is easier.

Jack, your story is so full of holes that it can't even hold a drop of water. You claim to make over $2700 a month with only 26 downline?
That means you are selling $15,000 worth of products a month? I don't believe that for a second.

And I have to inform you that your goals are too low. I know many people who earn much more than $5000 a month from their jobs alone, as opposeed to you, who probably has a job and a second job working quixtar for little or nothing while pretending to be successful.

Maybe one of you can explain why a triple diamond cannot make his house payments?

These negative people on here are really clueless on how this business runs. It really isn't worth any IBO's time to try and explain anything to them. They have top, well-known, powerful and famous leaders of the world speaking for the business at the FUNCTION. Hence the word "FOR" not against. You negative people out there need to get your facts straight, and for the people who claim to be "IBO" once for a couple of months and it didn't work for them, too bad you couldn't make it, we're making it to diamond with or without YOU.
This business has people who had no problem with financial security, leadership skills are what attracted most people in the long run. For the negative people, you are the typical people that I choose to simply banish from my world of association. Obviously you guys aren't making it anywhere and are just miserable. That's why you have every minute of everyday to come on here to try and find the most negative comment you can to leave on here. Don't bother repl... read more »

Personally, I don't believe in that bullshit!, if you want a succesful future, then work hard to obtain it, there are a lot of ways you can choose for having wealthy and happiness.
I recomend people not to be weak, and stay away from those IBOS, diamonds, emeralds or whatever they're called wash their brain and make them pay for having a job or a simple membership card.

Jack: Lets face it even if you go platinum or ruby whats wrong with 2700-4500 a month

Joe: Nothing wrong except if you actually make that, you probably have 250 IBO's downline from you who are losing money or making nothing. If they are entrenched in the "system", then they may be suffering massive financial losses. That's why there is a pyramid comparison. In a job setting, at least everyone, even the lowest ranking employee earns a check and has a net gain at the end of the month.

Jack: its funny how some say its a pyramid when there job is a pyramid unbelievable and besides to me whoever works the hardest of the people i sponsor make the most money

Joe: Even if your company may have a pyramidal hierarchy, it's doesn't change the fact that quixtar is a pyramid. Just because you call the pot black doesn't mean the kettle isn't.

If you really want to be successful as an IBO, all you need is a dream. You have to protect your dream because theres too many stupid people that try to steal your dream.

Oops! I hit enter before completing my comment. As I stated, a successful IBO is one who is manipulating downline and lying to prospects. I was an IBO for 18 mths and found myself paying false compliments to "prospects". I was losing respect for the average working citizen, especially those who had the good sense not to register with Quixtar. We were told to avoid association with Amway. Now, suddenly the Amway name is being embraced. Anyone IBO who denies this is either lying or brainwashed. I refused to be brainwashed and manipulated and regained control of my life. If you are honest with integrity and an independent thinker, this is not the business for you. For someone who doesn't mind lying, alientating family and friends and having others think for them,climb aboard and good luck to ya!

So this is what I have to say about Quixtar, you people who sit there and say that its an awesome company and they support you listen carefully. My ex-husband is in quixtar, after joining he started listening to his upline (not a bad thing if you do have good people in it who really care about you) but when we fell on financial problems they were rather upset... Telling him not to slow down his purchases on the site. He insists the business costs nothing a month but with his monthly purchases, cost of kate, his cel-phone and all told he was putting 500$ into the business a month. Needless to say, he listened to them, the person telling him WAS after all a professional accountant. One month later our house was foreclosed on (didn't say my ex-hubby was bright when it came to common sense) when I yelled at him, his upline told him "She's the wrong kind of wife" he yet again listened and tried putting me in my place, which as I understand is hard when you are up to your knees in qwiksand^^... read more »

I have read many comments on this page, and I must say that the computer age really has killed grammar. Enough of that though, I am here to talk about Quixtar/Amway. The business plan of the Quixtar/Amway corporation is laughable at best, depending on sales of the business plan rather than sheer volume as was suggested in an earlier post. The idea is to sign up as many IBO's (Independent Business Owners) as possible and then to make money off of them and the IBO's that they sign up, etc. I will say that the products aren't all bad, in fact I was rather fond of their energy drink line. The problem with their products is that you cannot sell them in ways that would generally allow you move them in volume.Another problem with the products is the price, they are simply too expensive once shipping is added in to be considered a deal. Who wants to give up the ability to buy something at a lower price and take it home that instant for a higher priced item you have to wait on to recieve. What ... read more »

There is no residual income in quixtar. Try not working the business for a while and it will fall apart like a cheap suit.

Quixtar and Amway sales were 7 billion. Over a million IBO's made the sales, but mostly to themselves. Quixtar IBO's move less than 5% of their products to non IBO's.

Walmart in contrast has 374 billion on sales and has 2 million employees. Who is more efficient?

well to answer your question why everyone is not in it its simple not everyone has an open mind most people keep their mind closed. If you think about it does everyone like mcdonalds or being a real estate agent not everyone likes to do this type of selling business. Its true alot of people dont make it truly because they either dont work the system or they just cant handle it being let down when they show a plan. This company doesnt need to advertise on tv although they just started to recently and they dont need to put alot of these products on shelves because they have us as endorsers doing this type of work. I never said it would be easy and i dont know about alot of people that i saw posting things on this site but it has done well for me and my family am i rich not even close but not bad part time.

It's a scam to sell you tapes and seminars. The products are a by product of the real business - tapes and seminars.

Ask your diamond to see the schedule C business portion of his tax return to prove his income claims, not a copy of some old check that he may have received years ago.

And then tell me what your upline says. He'll tell you it's private or none of your business because the actualy document is likely to be embarrassing.

It should be rather easy, add up any money you've made, deduct all expenses incurred. For kicks, add in how much time you spent on it.

Or even simpler, show me your tax return. That should be enough to convince me right there.

success does not happen over night, it's n0t easy, and most fail (98% of the world is broke).

wealthy people make their money through duplication! elvis presley, warren buffet, bill gates, and all franchising corporations use duplication to create wealth. for less than $200, you can own a private franchise corporation that creates millions over a lifetime. amway global gives you access to that, a opportunity to have your own private franchise where, if you do the work properly, you can have all the time and money you want!

they are alot companies out there that are un-ethical, but does not mean they are illegal because people have the right to choose whether to join or not.

for example walmart, locking its employees in to do work overnight at minimum wage? aren't they still in business too?

Bill from Maryland "
I have been doing this for 8 years now and finally made it to emerald which brings me about 200k a year yes i worked hard yes it took so long but hey i made it and this is part time."

Being that "Bill" just made emerald, means he probably has three legs at 7500 PV for six months. Quixtar says an average emerals makes $72,000 a year. If Bill just "made emerald", it would be impossible for him to take in $200,000 a year when he "just made it". It's these kinds of exaggerations that are used to recruit unknowing prospects and leads to newbies quitting right away when they realize the deception.

  Posted at 8:08pm on Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Quixtar is a poor business opportunity. Some people do succeed, but they become slaves of the business. In a business where most IBO's lose money and more than half quit each year, there is no significant residual income, except for maybe a very few old timers high up on the pyramid. Add in the expenses of the cd's and functions and most IBO's "working the system" are taking losses while thinking they are successful.

Best opportunity out there... Get the real facts... Truly a first class Supplier (Quixtar, North America & Amway, Global). Great track record, been around for just under 50 years, 7 billion dollar company worldwide yearly. They own the Orlando, Magic..Hatteras Yachts... And either Steve Van Andel or Doug DeVos was the Chairman for the NATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Remember this its dependent on you, its not get rich quick with money shooting out the floppy drive. You work it, you'll make it! Just like anything... It's a vehicle that can get you where you want to go. Oh and if you still have doubts call the corporation or check the BBB.

I've tried Mary Kay, Primerica, Surveys online, and a few businesses of my own. (real business, where I either stocked candy, or made arts and crafts to sell, etc.)

I was not disillusioned about Quixtar when I joined the business, and the people who introduced me to the business allowed me to do adequate research AND try some of the products BEFORE I decided to go IBO.

Here's how Quixtar works:

You will have a very difficult time making this business work, if it's ONLY based on IBO purchaes. Retail must be involved as well, and your sponsors should be helping if not virtually doing the work for you, so you can learn from them as you grow.

You make money by VOLUME not Company Level. The two are not the same. Of course, large volumes will get you some notches in your belt, but there are some people making more $ at one level than many folks at 1 or two high... read more »

Quixtar is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, I was referred to it a few years ago by a friend. As soon as I was shown the "plan" in an Arby's restaurant, I was STOKED!! But after attending a few "Cult like" meetings at strangers houses, I was a little skeptical. I harassed my friends and family to get them to join and nothing. It even got to the point were I was driving around with my sponsor and he tried to "recruit" grocery store employees into his trap. After sleeping on it for a few days, I contacted my sponsor, and asked him if I could set up a display and sell the energy drink called XS at a kiosk in the local mall, he said no, it's against company policy. That's what really got me thinking, why would they be so offended if I advertised there product if I paid for it? This company is all messed up, WOM only goes so far.
