I did Amway years ago when I was in the military. Bought a few products, but did not go anywhere with the business at that time. Ask your friend if you can sample a few of the products. Most consumers in the US go out to the local store to shop. In order to have a successful Amway business, one will have to be good at convincing people to change their habits and buy from you.You or your friend may want to look at a company I have been involved with since 1998. We help people save on a services they are already using (dental and health services). It is a continually growing market. More below.......--Answer1:I first encountered Amway products when my mother was buying them 30 years ago and always like them. Amway offers a money back satisfaction guarantee on their products so if they werent good stuff they would have been driven out of business years ago, instead their about to celebrate 50 yrs in North America.Having said that, it depends which products youre talking about. Amway makes nearly 500 different products themselves, but also has products from other manufacturers available through their system. Theyve occasionally erred and put some rubbish through! The top Amway products though, Artistry skin care and cosmetics, Nutrilite nutrition products and the LOC/SA8 homecare range are second to none. Theyre not the cheapest, quality never is, but I like them so much I now market them :)In any case, particularly for things like skin care and cosmetics "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" so your mileage may vary
