For anyone who is just trying to make money online you must realize there are many ways to succeed but also many ways to fail! If you haven’t heard of Quixtar than be happy and read the rest of this article so you will be well aware when they come knocking on your door..
If you have ever heard of the brick and mortar amway company, then think of quixtar as their online operation. When amway moved to the internet they invented the name quixtar and just like many other low-life companies that they would have a new beginning with no bad reputation.
NOTE: The reason I, Justin Chelf, can call quixtar a scam is because of the methods used to entice “newbs”. No, it is not possible to join quixtar like they tell you and become super rich or even somewhat wealthy to be comfortable from the system. The few people who do have some money from quixtar are probably old amway workers…
Secondly, besides the reps giving you garbage, not answering all your questions, and solely given seminars and talks about money and not around the actual system and how it works they just don’t make a believer out of me.
Let me give you some more information about quixtar. From being on the internet all the time I have seen just about every get rich quick scheme and rip-off attempts possible and they all are very noticeable in my eyes. While I might not meet someone and say hey you are not going anywhere with this company I do find it comical. I have meet a few so called quixtar workers, each who say they are the President of their own company (which I could not find online in the state business records… but you can find me!!) and had no website (just a sub-domain of quixtar), and finally cheap business cards! NO scratch that free business cards by vistaprint with a “Business Card are FREE at www.vistaprint.com!” advertisement on the back.
The above might not sound so bad if these guys didn’t talk the talk and try to fit in with traveling to conferences, or the cars they own, or the huge salary the make. I don’t know about you but if your making enough money to live from your business you need some REAL business cards.

You need to check back with Quixtar. They don’t do a lot of the stuff that you have published here anymore. The business cards do not look this way, and you obviously didn’t have anyone sign on beneath you. We have two people now and expect to make at least $200 this month. (We just started).
Also Quixtar never promises anyone they will get rich easy. Nothing ever comes without sacrifice and hard work. So the person who is looking for an easy way to get rich is just plain stupid. And if you have such a problem why don’t you take it up with the BBB?

Kathleen said it all already. I may not know what Quixtar did before I joined but looking at the results, Quixtar does not do alot of what you mentioned. I do admit that when they came at me, I thought it was a scam as well. But being in it for a couple weeks, it’s not at all near a scam.
How is it not a scam? If you look at who Quixtar works with you’ll clearly see that those business are well known in the industry today. To name a few that Quixtar is partnered up with: Sony, Office Depot, Barnes and Noble, and Bass Pro. All of these companies would have checked with their lawyers first before signing a contract to partner up with Quixtar/Amway.
Regarding getting rich quick, Quixtar never promised anything. You are taking the risk on your own. To become successful in this business, as well as any other business out there, a person has to work hard. Just joining will not get you anywhere. Take for example, going to college. You can sign up for a class, but if you don’t do your homework or attend your classes, you will not pass. Being an individual business owner is the same thing. You can’t just walk in and expect to be rich right away.

I joined Quixtar when it was Amway. I was brought in by a Tax Attorney.
This showed me as an accountant the morality and logistics. Neither Amway nor Quixtar promissed “get rich quick” and I noticed that the majority of failures in the business wanted that and in fact they even shopped outside their own business. All of a sudden cetain Diamonds got a so called sense of morality about tapes and the education process, with respect to earnings. What is the cost of college and what profits do they make from the sale of book,etc. What is the cost of franchises and the profits generated from their products to the franchisee. There are two parts to a business, the business itself and the understanding or knowledge needed to function.
If you think that you are smart enough then don’t pay for the education.
The logistics of this business that I find as an accountant is that there is no selling, the only change you make in your life is how you shop and understand that in building a team you can generate income, no promises. Anything in life worthwhile takes time and hard work. If possible, talk to the ones that left the business and started selling products in their new business, ask them if selling is hard work and takes a lot of time. What is wrong with sitting in your home, shop for what you need, save money, have it delivered and hopefully start a team to do the same.
