Quixtar?

February 5th, 2007 at 06:08 am

In the previous week, I was invited by a co-worker to a "E-commerce Seminar" about starting an online business. At first, it sounded like an interesting opportunity to make some money on the side (ha, try to fit that into my schedule). When I arrive at the hotel it was holding, pretty much everyone wore suits or some kind of business attire. In the end, it's called

BWW. All you need to do is to "buy from yourself and teach other to do the same."

I have never heard of these companies (or organizations) and this type of business concept. Is this something new? Help me with what you got.

    no, it's not new. my opinion, based on the folks i've known in quixtar and the presentation they dragged me too, is that it's not worth it. there may be some folks that are in fact making great money with the program, but the majority don't.

    I know very little about it but I'd say RUN. I have a relative who is into Amway and she also does Quixtar. Enough said.

    Quixtar is a sister company to Amway. They are both owned by holding company Alticor. It is essentially the same company, but with a new name and a web presence. The real business of the company is not to sell products -- it is to draft salespeople who are suckered into paying for training seminars and into recruiting other suckers. Basically a pyramid scheme. DO NOT GET INTO IT! It will enrich the company, not you.

    i see your point.

    maybe this is an extension from the original question. is mlm similar to direct selling? for example, i've heard of direct selling before, and there are reputable companies like

    It isnt a scam or a pyramid.
    If you look at the way people work day in and out thats a pyramid. One can never make more than their boss not possible. With an MLM you can if you put in the time and effort. If you feel its a waste of time good. Leave the money and bonuses for the people who want to retire at 23.
    How could Quixtar be a scam and have companies like Barnes and Nobles Circuit City and Dell partner with them?
