1222 new Founder Platinums and above for Amway North America!

October 12th, 2011 | Posted in Amway Facts, Amway North America, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

I saw a tweet from Jody Victor earlier today that was so incredible I had to confirm it before posting about it here – What I needed to confirm was this was just for Amway North America. It seemed too small for Amway globally, but an almost unbelievable result for just Amway in North America. [...]

The bizarre world of Amway in India

October 6th, 2011 | Posted in Amway India, Shyam Sundar

For some years now I’ve been trying to write a post about the trials and tribulations of Amway India, and I never quite manage to get one done. It’s a struggle  just to sort through the bizarre allegations, unreadable and confusing legalize, and the truly bizarre misinformation of Amway’s critics. Anyway, I’m trying again. As [...]

Are you recruiting your competitors?

September 28th, 2011 | Posted in Amway Myths, Commentary, Peter Bowditch, Robert T. Carroll, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

A supposed “criticism” of Amway, and indeed of multilevel marketing, that I’ve seen turn up regularly is the idea that it’s inherently flawed because “you are recruiting competitors”. For example, Robert T. Carroll, in his “Skeptic’s Dictionary” says – Why, you might wonder would you recruit people to compete with you? For, isn’t that what [...]

Amway’s most prolific internet critic – what we already knew, confirmed.

March 8th, 2011 | Posted in Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

Last month I hinted about some information proving the dishonesty of one of Amway’s most prolific internet critics. As I expected, that critic guessed who I was talking about and has attempted to cover his tracks. Alas, he hasn’t succeeded. JoeCool is the (main) internet pseudonym of a former Amway and WWDB IBO by the [...]

Amway critics and credibility – another one bites the dust

October 20th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary, Rocket, Scott Larsen, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

May 30th, 2009 | Posted in Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

Anti-Amway zealot JoeCool has posted various responses to my Anatomy of Deceit – an Amway Critic’s Price Comparison post accusing me of being a liar and wrong etc etc. One particular post is absolutely hilarious and is truly indicative of what we’re dealing with here -

Anatomy of Deceit – an Amway Critic’s price comparisons

May 29th, 2009 | Posted in Amway Products, Commentary, Nutrilite, Price Comparisons, SA8, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool), XS Energy

I was having a discussion about Amway products and to my surprise the other party cited “JoeCool’s website” as evidence that Amway’s products were overpriced and not competitive – in other words, a scam. JoeCool is of course a well known anti-Amway zealot. So I thought I’d have a look at JoeCool’s price comparisons, and he [...]
