Amway operates a Multi-level marketing system of selling in which you sign up other people to assist you, and they, in turn, recruit others to help them. While you get busy building this chain you will be making commission from every sale that any of your contacts as well as you make. The quantum of money that you will earn will depend on the number of contacts that you and others down the line make.

What does Amway sell?

Amway has a whole range of products that they manufacture through tie-ups. They include Car Wash Liquids, Floor Cleaners, Detergents, Toothpastes and many other household goods. In a nutshell, Amway offers many of its products in bulk and therefore it is up to the individual to buy, stock, dilute and use them.

How successful can this be?

The success of this type of "pyramid distributorship" and the amount of money that you will earn will depend on each and every distributor continuously getting additional people to join the pyramid. Remember those chain letters? In this business there is a practical limit to how many distributors you can find and to how many product units you and they can sell or use.

However one word of caution. You cannot control the efforts of the individuals under you to any significant degree. Many of them will have no real commitment to the program. They may have been high-pressured, just like you, to become a distributor.
