Several years ago I was approached and gave Amway a try. I could, and still can, see the potential in it. What happens, in my opinion, is that you are asked to pay a little more for products (the quality is good) and as you find others to do the same you will start to get a bit of money back from the profits of the products they buy. The problem with this is convincing people to do it! It would work great if everyone we knew got involved - but no one I knew was interested (that I can recall). It is NOT a scam. Just be ware of what you are getting into. I believe that there are other MLM companies out there with better products that almost sell themselves because the results are so apparent! You just need to find the right one for you!
