"Quixtar cannot make earnings claims"
By QBlog in
I just discovered an old USA Today article about the launch of Quixtar. The article (written by Dwight R. Worley, August 31, 1999) makes a few interesting comments about Amway and Quixtar. I've posted some excerpts below. I may add my own comments later:
» Amway on the Internet...Amway members often cite dazzling earnings figures at their meetings, but Quixtar cannot make earnings claims because it is a start-up and has no track record...
...Snipe also tells people of his average $700-a-month income from selling Amway for nearly two years. He emphasizes that with the global reach of the Internet, he will earn much more with Quixtar...
...To ensure success, Quixtar officials say they think it has an ace-in-the-hole: Amway's fiercely loyal 3 million-plus members, a built-in sales force...
..."We will market to our current independent business owners," Luymes said "But the business will expand beyond that."
Read the entire article. It held my attention and I bet it holds yours.

I remember all the hype when it started.Where are all the Diamonds just from Quixtar alone.The upline said Quixtar would do 10 Billion by 2010.Let's see 1.2 Billion after 2004.Better show the plan and push them tools!
It would appear as though this is what the plan was from the get go. I also found
"Shoppers not interested in becoming IBOs must pay a $20 annual fee to shop at the site."
very interesting. I don't blame IBO's for getting pissed at this. Does any IBO know what the formula is used for deciding what platinum gets the PV for the online sales?
This is 6 years ago and it's obvious what they are saying! I wonder how poor old Clement Snipe did?
