It’s a common claim among critics of multilevel marketing and Amway that “most people lose money”, some even go so far as to give specific figures. Jon Taylor of Consumer Awareness Institute claims loss rates exceeding 99.9%. Robert FitzPatrick of Pyramid Scheme Alert essentially just repeats Taylor’s analysis and claims the “loss rate” exceeds 99%. [...]

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I had tried to reply to Howard Megdal on the three articles he wrote disparaging Amway and the Mets over the new Amway Business Center at Citi Field in New York. Despite initial denials from Megdal, one of his co-editors, Emma Span, admitted she was deleting my [...]

Amway recently opened a business center at Citi Field in New York, home to the New York Mets baseball team. There was nothing secret it about, I published a story about it more than two months ago.

Amway critics lie. Again.

ibofightback — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:39:08 +0000

I’ve multiple times pointed out the lies of Amway critic “joecool”, who has been exposed creating false blogs and false identities simply to rubbish Amway.

MLM has too many middlemen?

ibofightback — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:59:34 +0000

One of the claims of critics of the multi-level marketing model is that due to having paying the independent distributors, there’s too many “middlemen” to be able to distribute products efficiently, thus it forces the prices of MLM products to be too high. Well, if you’ve been paying attention to European news in the past [...]

Official: Amway reports record 2012 sales of $11.3 billion

ibofightback — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:07:57 +0000

I reported a few weeks back that according to a Thai newspaper report Amway had recorded 12 billion in sales last year. As I noted on the article shortly after it was published, a reliable source indicated it wasn’t accurate. That source proved to be correct and the official sales figures have now been released [...]
