Is Amway worth joining?

In a modern economy where having multiple sources of income is increasingly the norm, many people might be looking for a second job, a side hustle, gig work or a passion project.

It provides flexible and accessible entrepreneurship opportunities for people looking to earn a little extra through hard work. Right now, more than 1 million Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) across the globe are doing just that, including 306,000+ in North America.

But is Amway a good idea for you? Can you make money with Amway? Will you get the support you need to help you earn a little extra each month? Are there Amway success stories? Let’s take a look at what Amway offers.

How Amway works

There are three ways Amway IBOs can earn money.

• The first is through selling Amway’s high quality health, beauty, fitness and home products to customers.
• The second is through monthly bonuses based on those sales.
• And the third when the people IBOs have sponsored into the business also sell products to customers.

Amway can be a rewarding experience. How much you earn depends on the results you generate. Consistency is the key, even if you only have a limited amount of time each week to devote to your business. (Learn more about making money with Amway here.)

Amway offers a low-risk gateway to entrepreneurship

Unlike many entrepreneurship opportunities that require a significant upfront investment to get started, there is no cost to become an Amway business owner. The Amway registration fee is complimentary for new IBOs and there is no requirement to purchase any inventory.

It’s a low-risk opportunity to explore business ownership without facing the hurdles and costs of starting a product line from scratch. Amway handles all product research and development, manufacturing, warehousing, shipping and customer service for IBOs, freeing them up to focus on building a sustainable business by selling products to customers and helping others do the same.

Amway IBOs also have access to multiple forms of support that can advise them on building a sustainable business. They always have the guidance and expertise of the IBO who sponsored them and helped them start an Amway business. They also have a wide variety variety of training courses available through Amway Education, a learning system available online or through an app offering more than 130 courses in multiple languages. Amway believes that people are in business for themselves, but never by themselves.

Amway values: What Amway stands for

Amway is a U.S. health and wellbeing company with a mission to help people live better, healthier lives. It has deep North American roots that began more than 60 years ago and the company remains committed to following its core values of partnership, integrity, personal worth, personal responsibility, achievement and free enterprise.

Those values are evident in how Amway gives back to the communities where its employees and IBOs live and work. The company believes it can be the change for a better world through its quality products, charitable contributions, volunteerism and CSR programming to benefit communities across the world. Through more than 4.5 million volunteer hours over 20 years, Amway has supported 14.5 million+ people.

Amway product quality: Science, traceability and organic farms

Those values are also evident in Amway’s high quality products that are backed by science, its sustainable business practices and farming methods, and its focus on transparency and traceability.

Amway offers more than 350 industry-leading health and wellbeing products and solutions supported by nearly 800 science and innovation experts who are always looking for ways to improve them with a focus on quality and sustainability. They choose ingredients consciously and look for ways to reduce the environmental footprint in design and packaging.

Amway pioneered product traceability and has set the bar for consumer trust through sustainable, transparent manufacturing and farming on nearly 6,000 acres of company-owned certified organic farmland. While many companies only trace one part of product creation, such as key ingredient origins, Amway publicly traces the full life of its products, from idea to formulation to manufacturing to packaging.

Amway success stories and testimonials

The definition of success is different for different people, and thousands of Amway IBOs find their own version of success by building their Amway™ business. IBO Suzy Llamas, for example, finds success with Amway because it allows her a “well-balanced lifestyle.”

“I can spend time with my loved ones, my business, my clients, our amazing IBOs, personal matters and a solid support system,” she said. “Amway provides ample opportunities for a flexible work schedule so I can build my business my way, without needing to make it a 24/7 deal, which is the case for a lot of new business owners. That is very important to me.”

For Adan and Francisca Ledezma, Amway allowed them to achieve their goal of business ownership without the large risks and financial investment that it typically requires.

“Amway helps its independent business owners develop their own business plans and goals while providing high-quality, trusted products and an existing supply chain – taking away a lot of the risks new business owners generally have to shoulder,” they said. “Amway makes opportunity accessible, and for that, we are forever grateful.”

And retired U.S. Army Col. Dr. George Goodwin appreciates the flexibility of the business, which allows him time to continue living his values while working to earn a little extra to help pay down debt. “With the flexibility Amway has provided, I am able to make time to invest in causes greater than myself, like volunteering with the American Red Cross,” he said.
