Hi Divya,
It’s impossible to put a time frame on when you can reach profitability, but it’s not a matter of bonus being “more than (your) PV”. PV, personal volume, is a combination of two things – products purchased for your personal use, and products purchased for resale direct to customers. Products purchased for personal use are not a business expense. They’re a household expense like anything else you buy from any other store. Like any other household expense it’s important to ensure you don’t overspend unnecessarily and that you can afford what you’re buying.

Personal PV purchased for resale to customers is a profit source. The more of that you are have, the quicker you can be profitable. Indeed customer profit is the fastest way to early profitability. Expenses will vary from IBO to IBO so it’s impossible to know what income you’ll need to match your expenses, but if your currently jobless I’d recommend keeping your expenses low by borrowing material from your upline and trying to develop a customer base to get some cash in fast. Speak to your sponsor and upline about the best way to do that in your market. Good luck!

I would like to know at what time my commission/bonus will be more than my PV. In short, at what point the money I earn will be more than the money I spent.

I have 10,000 Rs in my bank and jobless. If I join Amway business, how can I support my monthly expenses? How much time will it take for me to start earning real money and support my daily expenses? Please explain with complete mathematics on how to maximise my own profits and how to reduce profit passed to my uplines.

Oops, sorry, I meant “… that the worldwide figure of 16,095 for Founders Platinums and above will be correct.”

Providing that the figure for Founders Platinums (12,454) is correct, it is very, very improbable that only 5,546 people would qualify for Platinum.

Also, providing that the last year’s figures for North America, i.e. 1222 new Founders Platinums and above, is correct (and we know it is) and given that the North American market makes about 10% of Amway’s sales with most of the biggest markets surpassing the growth rate of North America, I would say that the worldwide figure of 16,095 Platinums and above will be correct.

The Amway video isn’t limited to just new platinums, it says “18,000 new Platinums and above”. The “and above” should cover every pin level through to crown ambassador.

There’s clearly a big discrepancy and it should be clarified before people go quoting the 38,000 and 54,000 figures otherwise critics will jump on this as more hype and misinformation.

At this point in time the “18,000 new Platinums and above” figure is the only one Amway has officially made public, so until they officially and publicly disclose otherwise, this is probably the figure we should stick to.

18000+ of new Platinums plus all the higher pins (16095) add up to 34095+ IBOs. Plus new Sapphires and Pearls that were not included in the statistics. So, 38000+ is likely the number of all Platinums and above.

Alternatively the 18,000 figure is just new platinums and the data I have (photo of a powerpoint presentation) has an error under platinums (38,000) which is clearly not an exact figure like the others.

These statistics were given at the European Diamond Advisory Council. The 18,000 figure is possibly Founders Platinum and above (My figures add up to over 16,000 for this category), with some differences in handling of Chinese qualifications and/or reporting of financial year vs IBO year. I’ve noticed Amway North America seems to be promoting Founders Platinum as the “base” qualification these days – a good thing in my opinion.

What’s the source of these figures? Amway’s video on YouTube says it was 18,000 platinums and above not 54,000
