Do you have to recruit other people to make money with Amway?

No. Amway Business Owners make money from the sale of our products. Simply put, if no product is sold, nobody makes any money.

On each product sold, we set aside a portion of the product cost as “bonus” (sales commission). This is shared by Amway Business Owners who work together in sales groups according to their contract with Amway. That said, any sales leader would tell you that to build a big sales business, you want as many points of sale as you can manage and support.

Like any sales organization, the more people selling, generally, the more volume you can drive. This is why big retailers are always trying to set up new stores. The more points of sale, the more customers you can reach.
